| UpComing Seminar Knowing Awareness of Presence Friday, December 12 to Monday, December 15, 2008 Orlando,Florida |
| Talks Mary Ellen Korman speaks on her new book, A Woman's Work with Gurdjieff, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti, Anandamayai Ma & Pak Subuh: The Spiritual Life Journey of Ethel Merston, published by Arete Communications.
The spiritual life story of Ethel Merston based on her diaries and recollections is an important historical work, as well as a keen insight into many of the seminal teachers of her times. Merston was one of Gurdjieff's first English pupils and lived at the Prieuré from 1922 until 1927. Her seriousness and organizational abilities led Gurdjieff to put her in charge in his absences. Fritz Peters gives a wonderful account of what she had to put up with (he gives her the name Miss Madison) in his Boyhood with Gurdjieff. In India, she lived at Ramana Maharshi's ashram for many years. She gives a first-person account of his death and also the meeting between The Mother and Sri Aurobindo and Anandamayi Ma (with whom she often traveled). She also attended many of Krishnamurti's talks and seminars in the 1930s, was a friend of Sunyata, Alain Daniélou, Krishna Prem and Swami Omananda. In the 1950s she was initiated into Subud by Pak Subuh at J. G. Bennett's Coombe Springs study house. At Mendham, she met again her friends from her Gurdjieff daysMme de Salzmann, Mme Ouspensky, Olga de Hartmann and Peggy Flinschand was introduced to Lord John Pentland. |
