Two comments, and ‘black magic women’ logo banned
I have put up these comments as posts, this one time, and retired the ‘black magic women’ logo/email, no more here, please.
What possesses people to (make up and) adopt such names for themselves?

I don’t think anybody is surprised that this book does “not amount to much” for Nemo. Serious people, however, will find that it is indeed a wonderful read which I can fully recommend to everybody who is interested in finding out what inner work is really all about. De Salzmann, as we all know, was one of the closest pupils of Gurdjieff and – different from authors like Ouspensky or Bennett – she does not write about the theoretical implications of the “system” as such nor on Gurdjieff himself but rather, in a very humble and personal style, about what the forth way is really like in its daily practice. Thus it is a most honest account of someone who struggled hard to work on herself over decades. To me this is one of the best books on the subject since 30 or 40 years!

Right, to my knowledge, he was involved in setting up that centre back in the 1970ies. An interesting study on Beshara can be found in http://www.amazon.com/Beshara-Ibn-Arabi-Movement-Spirituality/dp/1905937008/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281941366&sr=1-1
