The Seekers of Truth

The name by which Gurdjieff, as a young man, called his group of fellow travellers, is also the title, Les Chercheurs de Vérité (The Seekers of Truth), of a video produced by the Paris based Institut G.I.Gurdjieff, and is not available for general distribution. The Meeting was very grateful to "R" for the opportunity to view this film, and for bringing her laptop to show it on.

As "R" relates, "to see still photos and old newsreel footage, and hear some of his music as well as his words, which are spoken in the film by the professional film-maker who was also himself among his pupils, was deeply impressive for those who were there and raised lots of questions."

The first half was watched, and followed by a discussion.
