Title: It is a Real Effort to read Rafael Lefort
Review: This book claims finding Gurdjieff's teaching in the Walled Garden of Truth. This is not based on a serious study of Gurdjieff, but on something else. However, the book has value as entertainment and can be read as a substitute for the Mullah Nasr Eddin stories, although it lacks much of the humour.Many claims have been made to the origins of Gurdjieff's teaching and traces of it can be also found in many, also in Sufism.The book came out in 1966 and one could suspect that the 'teachers of Gurdjieff' had already died by 1966 (before he died himself in 1949). Unless... the writer had some means of communicating with the dead, which indeed could be a 'Real Effort'....
