To Gurdjieff’s injunction to “fathom the gist” of his writings, All and Everything, Dr. Keith A. Buzzell brings fifty years of vigorous exploration and practice within the body of Gurdjieff’s ideas, integrated with his study of the sciences: biology, evolution, neurology and cosmology. Dr. Buzzell shares with us his search to find resonances between the scientific and spiritual worlds. Understanding is assisted by numerous illustrations throughout these beautifully produced workbooks.
Keith Buzzell's three books have been cited as “a major illustrated attempt to bring out the meaning and significance of Gurdjieff's philosophical ideas.”

Keith Buzzell has achieved a great deal in helping the reader participate more strongly in understanding the text [of Gurdjieff’s Beelzebub’s Tales].
Anthony Blake (A.G.E. Blake), Author
. . . Buzzell applies Gurdjieff’s system to modern science, not by the “compare and contrast” method, but by the fact that in his own thought, feeling and sensings, the two co-exist, even if perhaps at different levels, or with different degrees of vivifyingness. This means that the system and modern science can be related to each other, because they stand within one person’s arc of thought. In a volume such as this, the Gurdjieff ideas actually spiritualize the encounter with modern medicine and chemistry.
