The Teachers of Gurdjieff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Teachers of Gurdjieff (ISBN 0877282137) is a book by Rafael Lefort that purports to describe a journey to the middle east and central asia in search of the sources of Gurdjieff's teaching, and culminates in the author's own spiritual awakening, by meeting and "opening" to the teachings of the Naqshbandi Sufis.
The name of the author is an anagram for "A Real Effort," except for an extra 'l'. The book is considered by many to have been written by the Sufi teacher Idries Shah, or his students, or his brother Omar Ali-Shah.
