Summer Inspiration
“What does it mean to be practical, spiritually? Surely the real sense of community, so universally wished for, cannot exist without each of us learning to think.”
Guided by this line of questioning, Material for Thought was born in 1972 under the direction of John Pentland. Published intermittently through 2000 by members of the Gurdjieff Foundation of California, each volume of Material for Thought contains a collection of essays, articles, and interviews that have stood the test of time. These periodicals, published in limited numbers, are now rare and out of print so we feel fortunate that we can offer them to our customers.
