The Intelligent Enneagram

by A.G.E.Blake

This is the key text for understanding how to use the structural form of the Enneagram as it was introduced by Gurdjieff at the beginning of the twentieth century. It gives a historical background to Gurdjieff's work and explains the basic principles of his so-called 'cosmic laws' of Three and Seven that underlie the dynamic form of the Enneagram. It also demonstrates its use in a variety of fields that include science, sex, prayer and even movies. The book is based on the work of J. G. Bennett, with whom Anthony Blake studied for fifteen years, collaborating on several projects. The emphasis of the 'school' developed by Bennett from Gurdjieff's work is on practical method and creativity. The study of systems and structures originating with Bennett and Gurdjieff continues to evolve and this book indicates how the Enneagram is but one of an almost endless series of forms of understanding.
