Gurdjieff and Kundabuffer: Food for the Moon by Robin Bloor is a groundbreaking new book that considers Gurdjieff's theory that Man serves as food for the Moon - specifically that at death, some of the substances that make up Man's psyche are released and make their way to the Moon, via the ionosphere. The book is a tour de force, skipping from depictions and explanations of The Ray of Creation to deep analyses of the text of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson to consideration of the abnormal conditions of Man's existence which he developed himself and on to the consequences of the properties of the organ Kundbuffer. The book was written by one of few living specialists in objective science and in fathoming the gist of Gurdjieff's writings. It is full of unexpected insights. It looks at Kundabuffer and the nourishing of the Moon from every perspective. Read it if you want to know: - The astro-magnetic mechanism by which the sacred Askokin, produced by man, is transmitted to the Moon.- The meaning and nature of Anulios.- The meaning of the names of the angels, Sakaki, Looisos and Algamatant, and the meaning of their strange titles. - An account of the implanting of Kundabuffer.- A detailing and summary of the consequences of the properties of the organ.- An inventory of Man's faults which are due to the abnormal being-existence that he created for himself - irrespective of Kundabuffer.- What we can do to eradicate the consequences of the properties of the accursed organ Kundabuffer.Gurdjieff and Kundabuffer: Food for the Moon is a must-read for anyone interested in Gurdjieff's teachings. It is likely to become a classic in the canon of esoteric literature.
