Self-Remembering

Rating:
Summary: A book of quotes not a series of talks. Still very good.
Review: This is a book of quotes by the Author arranged by subject and bound together as a book. When I read the description I thought it was a series of Talks like Ouspensky's "Fourth Way" or "The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution". In this book Burton focuses on the main tenant of the Fourth Way which is the practice of "Self-Remembering". Burton seems well read as he quotes many famous authors who one gets the impression that Burton believes are beyond men numbers 1, 2 and 3 especially Goethe. At times one wonders if Burton is speaking beyond his experience. A very curious quote in the book is "After many years of teaching, I have tired of the novelty of the system except for self remembering."

Summary: The best since Ouspensky
Review: This is the best 4th Way book I've read in years. It's equal to Ouspensky's In search of the Miraculous and The Fourth Way. It's the only book by a living author I would recommend as I believe he is awake; I don't get the impression any other 'modern' teachers are; they mostly seem to be imitators of Gurdjieff or just plain deceivers.

This book stands apart.
