The Power Within: Leon MacLaren, A Memoir of His Life and Work

Review This book will interest those who knew Leon MacLaren; those who had some acquaintance not with him but with his pupils or the School of Economic Science; those with an interest in Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, or in Advaita in its Western manifestations; and students of esoteric and even "New Age" movements; and the merely curious. All of these people will find something new here. And perhaps most of all, this is the first book of dealing with Leon MacLaren and his achievement by someone with first hand knowledge. Another feature of the book is the photographs and the extracts from Leon MacLaren's letters at the back of the book. The importance of this book, therefore, in understanding Gurdjieff's legacy after his death can hardly be underestimated. It is the first fair glimpse into the entire west wing of the castle.
