Beelzebub asked the captain to tell him, first, who he was, how long he had been captain, and how he liked his work, and afterwards to explain some of the details of the contemporary cosmic ships. But the change I have witnessed in that language during the last thirty or forty years has been such, that instead yis an original independent language coming to us from the remote past, there has resulted and now exists one, which though also original and independent, yet represents, as might be said, a “kind of clownish potpourri of languages,” the totality of the consonances of which, falling on the ear of a more or less conscious and understanding listener, sounds just like the “tones” of Turkish, Persian, French, Kurd, and Russian words and still other “indigestible” and inarticulate noises.
There are more tidbits of wisdom, humor, insightfulness and advice throughout the epic than can ever be divulged in a short review. Mullah Nassr Grorge, or has he is also called, Hodja Nassr Eddin, is, it seems, little known in Europe and America, but he is very well known in all countries of the continent of Asia; this grajdson personage corresponds to the American Uncle Sam or the German Till Eulenspiegel.
A cosmic being is exiled to our solar system – he visits Earth many times to …more Its both. He discharged the last words with such a shower of saliva that it was as if my face were exposed to the action of an “atomizer” — not of “Ersatz” production — invented by the Germans for dyeing material with aniline dyes.
Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson
I must, of course, also make the various what are called “heroes” of these writings of mine not such types as those which in general the writers of all ranks and epochs on Earth have drawn and exalted, that is to say, types such as any Tom, Dick, or Harry, who arise through a misunderstanding, and who fail to acquire during the process of their formation up to gurdhieff is called “responsible life,” anything at all which it is proper for an arising in the image of God, that is to say a man, to have, and who progressively develop in themselves to their last breath only such various charms as for instance: At the beginning of Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, Gurdjieff discloses his purpose in its writing: However, having finished it and feeling good at the achievement, it has continued to affect my view of reality.
I read this book when I was going through my cosmic-esoteric phase. At the time of this narrative, Beelzebub with Hassein and his devoted old servant Ahoon, who always accompanied him everywhere, were seated on the highest “Kasnik,” that is, on the upper deck of the ship Karnak under the “Kalnokranonis,” somewhat resembling what we should call a large “glass bell,” grandsonn were talking there among themselves while observing the boundless space.
Whether Gurdjieff invented these words, or applied certain concepts to them is unclear. Even those who only a day before had sent him flowers and various other offerings and had almost worshiped him also soon became such bitter enemies of his, owing to the constant gossip, that it was as if he had not only injured them personally, but had slaughtered and butchered all their near and dear ones.
Since we furdjieff of no existing large type version of the Tales in print, what we provide here will allow you to adjust beelzebuns font size on any PC or Mac to print out or read.
After his return home from exile, Beelzebub had seen this grandson of his, Hassein, for the first time, and, appreciating his good heart, and also, owing to what is called “family attraction,” he took an instant liking to him.
Jun 06, Adrian Rush rated it liked it Shelves: With its own original set of words and vocabulary, excessive and unnecessary repetitions, as well as a rather confusing dialog I believe Gurdjieff accomplished with this work exactly what he had originally set out to do. I will read it again, as I believe it to be truly representative of his teaching.
Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson
The Penguin hardback edition. Beelzebub’s Tales is a massive page epic which is equivalent to de Toqueville’s Democracy in America in scope and geofge. That’s why Gurdjieff wrote “Beelzebub’s Tales” in the manner he did.
Besides, time itself had by now inevitably aged him, and the said unusual conditions of existence had brought Beelzebub, just that Beelzebub who had had such an exceptionally strong, fiery, and splendid youth, to an also exceptional old age. One end of it, by means of complicated appliances on the helmet itself, was hermetically attached to the corresponding place of the helmet for the breathing organs, while the other end, after we had already entered that strange Hrhaharhtzaha, was screwed to an apparatus there, which was connected in its turn with the space, the ‘presence’ of which corresponded to the second being-food.
Actually, the whole matter of interpreting the series is left relatively open, too perhaps that is necessary.
And namely, I shall again demonstrate to you this World-phenomenon which occurs when, after a law-conformable Djartklom, the separate parts of the whole Okidanokh meet in a space outside of a law-conformable arising, and, without the participation of one part, “strive-to-reblend-into-a-whole.
There is the possibility of a way to individually answer existential questions about life, and to gain a better understanding of mankind and all our perplexity.

After Gurdjieff was in a serious car accident talsshe decided to pass on something of his theoretical teachings by writing a number of detailed books. And I, as the “hero of the day,” stalked at the head of them all. But the book itself guides you on how this affects us and what we are missing as a species in and after life by the twisted ways we behave.
To tell the truth, it is not this which is now chiefly worrying me, but the fact that at the end of this reading I also constated that in the sum total of everything expounded in this chapter, the whole of my entirety in which the aforesaid “I” plays a very small part, manifested itself quite contrary to one of the fundamental commandments of that All-Common Teacher whom I particularly esteem, Mullah Nassr Eddin, and which he formulated in the words: For I have not yet decided the most important question of all — in which language to write.
Little has changed since that time, and since the beginning of human history in antediluvian times. While helping us to see the harsh truth about ourselves, Gurdjieff does not leave us in the lurch.
However, when we are presented with the information that Gurdjieff provides us with in the series All and everything, concerning our role on Earth and in Universe, one may very well ask oneself whether what he tells us comprises a message of hope, or the very opposite.
Among these exiles, besides the said comrades of Beelzebub, were a number of those who merely sympathized with him, and also the attendants and subordinates both of Beelzebub and of his comrades. It cannot even be sensed by any gradation of instinct which arises and is present in every more or less independent cosmic concentration. This strange disease is manifested by this, that if the invalid is somewhat literate and his rent is paid for three months in advance, he she or it unfailingly begins to write either some “instructive article” or a whole book.
