The Tetrad

A series on Systematics:


In these three extended essays Anthony Blake explores the meaning of the first three 'systems', offering a wide and deep investigation of a kind that has never been attempted before.

 

The Tetrad is forthcoming.

Systematics: A Method of Understanding in the Study of Complex Wholes
54 pp.
This treatise represents the first attempt to lay the foundations of systematics from first principles. Research continues and we expect to publish a new version within a year.
Systematics: A Method of the Intelligible and Toponomics
44pp.
A new exploration of the foundations of systematics which includes an essay on 'toponomics', the study of arrangement rather than number alone.
Structures of Meaning
198 pp.

(New edition with a forward by Patrick de Mare is in preparation, available Fall 2000)

This is a milestone in the literature of the dialogue process. It surveys the whole field of meaning-exchange between people through working in groups, beginning with the techniques of 'structured communication' developed by J.G. Bennett and his colleagues and ending with the prospect of 'hyperdialogue'. It covers the dialogue approach made widely-known by David Bohm. The book introduces for the first time the concept and practice of 'N-logue', the intentional discipline utilising small numbers of people in dialogue to enact a system. Collaboration in structures of meaning - and 'synergy' or working together - is becoming the world's most pressing need.
The Bohm-Bennett Correspondence
1962-4, 32 pp.
Between 1962 and 1964, David Bohm the physicist and John Bennett were in frequent communication. The correspondence is an example of a potentially fruitful collaboration that failed to meet its promise and holds many lessons. Anthony Blake was privileged to participate in their exchange and sometimes serve as an intermediary.
Reading of Experience This was the first in the Baltimore Series of seminars and laid out the ground of experience and thinking from which the later events derived.
 Intelligent Uncertainty One of the Baltimore Series dealing with the impact and meaning of hazard in our lives and how it may be utilised. The book reflects the intense and exploratory nature of the seminar. It ends with a novel exposition of 'divine compensation' and the mutuality of the spiritual and material.
Perspectives
107 pp.
An oral history of exploration:
A collection of talks and articles that represent the necessarily 'fragmented' character of the 'unknown teaching' that so obsessed P. D. Ouspensky from his contact with Gurdjieff, and which was explored further by John Bennett.
Enneagrams
80 pp.
An edited and updated version of the articles published by Anthony Blake in the 'Enneagram Monthly', with new appendices.
Making a New World One of the Baltimore series, dealing with ways in which new order can enter the present moment and enable us to act our truth.
Towards a Science of Dialogue An in-depth study of Dialogue using the first six categories of John Bennett's Dramatic Universe framework of understanding.

Forthcoming titles in the "Baltimore Series" Action

Consciousness and Cosmic Information

On the objective function of consciousness.

Structure of the Present Moment

Published by Claymont Communications:

A Seminar on Time Based on transcriptions from a seminar held at Claymont Court, West Virginia, this is an experiential as well as theoretical exploration. Its frame of reference is taken from the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. It explains the concept of three kinds of time and how they relate to life, dreams, progress and spirituality. And it includes exercises and discussions that bring the concepts into living experience. The text is enriched with remarkable drawings by Phyllis Peltz Bolton. Written in 1979, this book remains relevant as an exposition of Bennett's ideas on time. It was the basis for the major seminar 'On Time' held in Baltimore, March 1998.
An Index to In Search of the Miraculous An analytical reader's guide to this leading classic on Gurdjieff's teaching.

 


Published by Shambhala Publications:

The Intelligent Enneagram This book was published in 1996 as an 'answer' to the rising cult of the enneagram of fixations deriving from Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. It gives a lucid account of the 'enneagram of process' that deals with transformative action and not with human types.

 


Published by By The Way Books:

Intelligence A new edition of the book 'Intelligence Now' first published in 1968. Intelligence is a mosaic of ideas to bring about inspiration.


Published by Moon Bear Press:

The Queen's Quest
by Dr. Edith Wallace
59pp
This book describes through the interplay of collage and prose Jung's individuation process.


Audio & Video:

Spirit-Nature; Music-Speech A 45-minute video-dialogue between Joseph Rael and Anthony Blake -

Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) comes from both the Ute and Pueblo traditions. He is a gifted painter and writer and has been concerned with establishing Peace Chambers all round the world. He met with Anthony Blake for dialogue on the chosen themes, without the two men having met before. In remarkable spontaneity, they weave multiple meanings together in a shared present moment. One of the rare videos that bears watching over and over again.
