The Herald of Coming Good First Appeal to Contemporary Humanity [with Notes]
The Herald of Coming Good was first published in 1933, apparently as a prelude to the publication of Gurdjieff's three series of books under the common title of All and Everything. It was written in the obtuse and difficult style of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. As such, it is a mysterious publication. It pretends to be a marketing vehicle for attracting people to the Work, with registration blanks for readers to fill in, should they wish to subscribe to the books of the First Series. The casual reader is unlikely to make much sense of it, but serious readers of Gurdjieff's writings may find its contents valuable.
This version of the book has been "translated" into American English and also includes a rendering of the prospectus for Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. As an djuncta to the book, there are some notes about The Herald made by the editor of this publication. They do not constitute a complete analysis. Nevertheless, they may prove useful to the reader.

George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was a mystic, philosopher, spiritual teacher, and composer of Armenian and Greek descent, born in Alexandrapol (now Gyumri), Armenia. Gurdjieff taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline "The Work"(connoting "work on oneself") or "the Method". According to his principles and instructions, Gurdjieff's method for awakening one's consciousness unites the methods of the fakir, monk and yogi, and thus he referred to it as the "Fourth Way". ---Wikipedia
