Gurdjieff and the Women of the Rope

Notes of Meetings in Paris and New York 1935-1939 and 1948-1949

By: Gurdjieff, Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme

Narrated by: Mary Castillo

During the mid-'30s in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four women: Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer, and Elizabeth Gordon - and formed a special, mutually supporting work group.

In allegory he explained: You are going on a journey under my guidance, an “inner-world journey” like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other “as hand washes hand”, each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means. Only faithful hard work on yourselves will get you where I want you to go, not your wishing.

Among themselves they called their foursome “The Rope".

The company around Gurdjieff’s table, his principal teaching site, soon expanded to include Louise Davidson, Margaret Anderson, Georgette Leblanc, and Jane Heap.

Very powerful and holy

A view from the other side, the unknowable, Mr. Gurdjieff extraordinary views, from the other world

Bad Narrative.

The Narrator should not have tried mimicking gurdjieff voice its so irritating to listen all the way.
Top of that the narrator is woman.

Good have been a great Audible Book

Trying to mimc G’s voice made it difficult to understand. Yea put it down after 45 minutes. Why didn’t they just use a natural voice.
