Gurdjieff and Parabola

Time and the Soul: Where Has All the Meaningful Time Gone -- and Can We Get It Back?
Jacob Needleman
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2003
Help your Self
If you want to find more joy in your life, read this book. It's short, but gives you a lot of food for thought. It's no quick fix, but it does give you ideas for making your everyday life more satisfying. John Cleese's foreword really says it all: it's NOT a self-help ...

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
Jean-Yves Leloup
Inner Traditions, 2002
Gospel Truth
One of the happy outcomes of The Da Vinci Code phenomenon is a wider awareness of the "Gnostic Gospels". Publishers have not been slow to respond, but this precious volume towers above the crowded scene along with its companion titles in the series: the Gospels of ...

Lost Christianity
Jacob Needleman
Tarcher, 2003
Possibly the single most provocative book on Christianity that I've yet read
I must agree with a previous reviewer who claimed that this book challenges the reader to re-think almost everything they understand about "lost" Christianity. Needleman does not present another work on Gnosticism, Christian contemplation, esoteric teachings, or hidden ...

Money and the Meaning of Life
Jacob Needleman
Broadway Books, 1994
Not just a book
As a spiritual healer I have been recommending this book to clients for about ten years. The differences in their lives and their attitude to money have been simply amazing. Most of them have reported that they couldn't read this book quickly; their head would spin and ...

Tao Te Ching
Lao Tsu
Vintage, 1989
Simple is best.
Of the many translations of the Tao Te Ching I've read, this is the one I consider to be the finest. It's not scholarly (for that Ellen M. Chen's version is worth looking at), it's not artificially modern (as are the versions by Ursula Le Guin or Stephen Mitchell), ...

Why Can't We Be Good?
Jacob Needleman
Tarcher, 2007
Needleman connects the dots.
This is Needlemans best book by far. It's dramatic as well as wise. And I hadn't realized how fine a writer he is. It engages the reader immediately, and that is it's message; get out of your head and into "the streets." The book is a warm and profound companion. ...

The American Soul: Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Founders
Jacob Needleman
Tarcher, 2003
Learn What the Deeper American Soul is Really About
Jacob Needleman's book The American Soul is a masterful explanation of a deeper America, an America that has been lost in the shuck and jive of corporate greed, a media managed for misinformation and consensus and the professional wrestling that too often passes for ...

The Gospel of Thomas: The Gnostic Wisdom of Jesus
Jean-Yves Leloup
Inner Traditions, 2005
Perfect Translation, Perfect Commentary
If you're interested in Thomas, but baffled but what translation/edition/commentary to get, look no further. This is the one. Most English translations of Thomas are a bit too scholarly, detached and clinical. In addition, almost all are translated by non-mystics. The ...

Morning Light Press, 2005
A New Approach to Love
I am the author of this book. Here are several reviews of the book listed on Amazon when the book had its former title. Under the new title, The Wisdom of Love, it is exactly the same book. Would it be possible to place these reviews under the present title? I filled ...

A Little Book on Love (Little Books on Big Questions/Jacon Needleman, 1)
Jacob Needleman
Broadway Books, 1996
Needleman is the Einstein of practical wisdom- this is proof
There are plenty of brilliant people in the world today, but if someone speaks of "wise men" we immediately think of ancient history. They seem to have somehow dissappeared after three of them followed the Christmas star. Don't believe it. As long as Jacob Needleman ...
