Book Review: Gurdjieff for a Time-Between-Worlds: Hyperpersonal Essays on the Grandfather of Metamodern Spirituality by Layman Pascal

In Gurdjieff for a Time-Between-Worlds, Layman Pascal offers a fresh, introspective exploration of Georges Gurdjieff’s teachings through a contemporary lens. Rather than a traditional analysis, Pascal’s “hyperpersonal” essays blend personal reflection with philosophical inquiry, making Gurdjieff’s complex ideas accessible and relevant to modern readers.

Pascal connects Gurdjieff’s emphasis on self-awareness, integration of mind-body-emotion, and spiritual development to the challenges of living in our current “time-between-worlds”—a period of cultural uncertainty and transformation. The essays make a compelling case for how Gurdjieff’s methods can guide us in navigating today’s rapidly changing world.

Gurdjieff for a Time-Between-Worlds is an insightful and engaging read for those interested in Gurdjieff’s work or looking for a modern, personal approach to spiritual growth. Pascal’s reflections offer a unique perspective on how Gurdjieff’s teachings remain relevant in today’s world.
