Teachers of No-Thing & Nothing: Eating The "I" Parts II & III
by William Patrick Patterson
Softcover, 280 pp. Color Photos, References, Bibliography, Index
With this book, his tenth and last, William Patrick Patterson completes his spiritual memoir. Eating The "I", the first part, published in 1992, focused on his experience with his teacher Lord John Pentland, the man Mr. Gurdjieff chose to lead The Fourth Way in America. Questioning what is the self in self-remembering brought Patterson to the Dane Alfred Sorensen, given the name "Sunyata" by Ramana Maharshi who saw him as a rare-born mystic. Sunyata told him, "The witness is a high state, but only a state." Through Sunyata, he met Jean Klein, the European Advaita master who holds that "Absence is the greatest presence."

by William Patrick Patterson
DVD, color, 3 hours
Filmed during a weekend seminar with William Patrick Patterson exploring in depth Gurdjieff's question of "What is the sense and significance of life on Earth and human life, in particular?" the Dialogue sessions probe the primary purpose of organic life on Earth, the receiving, processing and transmitting of energies, the developing and undeveloped image of God, vibratory electrical beings, societal beliefs of having an indivisible I and a soul, the "I"-of-the-moment, Adam's power to name animals, perfectly imperfect, living one's suffered truth, conscious egotist, Kesdjan body, esoteric Christianity, a Christianity before Christ, religion as wholeness, the teaching of our time, Consciousness without objects.
