The Gurdjieff Journal

WE INTERVIEWED WILLIAM PATRICK PATTERSON DURING HIS nationwide speaking tour introducing Gurdjieff's Legacy, the concluding installment of his video trilogy.

The Gurdjieff Journal: Viewing the sheer scale of the video trilogy of Gurdjieff's life and teaching—one that is shot on-site in Egypt, Russia, Turkey, France, London and America—is truly a monumental experience. Just how long has it taken to complete the trilogy The Life and Significance of George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff?

William Patrick Patterson: A few lifetimes or a few seconds depending on one's perspective. We began shooting the first video, Gurdjieff in Egypt, December 1996; finished Gurdjieff's Mission in 2002; and completed the third video of the trilogy, Gurdjieff's Legacy, in February 2003.

Very good trilogy.
