Product Description
Product Description
This book is an in-depth examination of the much needed process of 'self'-study known as self observation. We live in an age where the "attention function" in the brain has been badly damaged by TV and computers - up to 90 percent of the public under age 35 suffers from attention-deficit disorder! This book offers the most direct, non-pharmaceutical means of healing attention dysfunction. The methods presented here are capable of restoring attention to a fully functional and powerful tool for success in life and relationships. This is also an age when humanity has lost its connection with conscience. When humanity has poisoned the Earth's atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, the author asks: What is the root cause? And he boldly answers: failure to develop conscience! Self-observation, he asserts, is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life. This book is for the lay-reader, both the beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and meditation, but almost none on self-study via self observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of explication, and richness of experience which this book offers.

Format:Paperback
In my humble opinion, this relatively modest book offers anyone who is interested in, or already working in some kind of `inner work' - invaluable work practice of majestic proportions.
Red Hawk speaks honestly and simply. He has managed to present some of the most profound workings of the `Fourth Way' / Gurdjieff insights elegantly and accessibly.
As a first introduction, I think this could become a classic. Anyone already in idiocy would appreciate Red Hawks down-to-earth offerings as a wonderful aide-memoir. In brief, he has written an understandable guide to the foundations and insights for becoming a mature human being. He offers ways to develop an ability to notice ourselves (and others)what it is to notice, and what it is to become a person of Awareness and Attention. But don't take my word for it, only you will know from your own direct experience if I, Red Hawk or anyone else in this world have anything worth taking notice of, which is the very subject matter of this book.

It is said that when Gurdjieff wrote "Tales" he said that, "All of the locks and all of the keys were in the book, but they were not presented together"! In this book Red Hawk has presented the locks and the keys together, the clever part is that he has connected them in a lucid 21st Century context. I completed this book and felt totally privileged to have it in my possession. After reading this book I have returned to other texts on this subject and found meaning where previously there was confusion. If you are starting on your journey or are on the road and wanting some inspiration to carry on, this little book will more than reward any investment you put into it.

Format:Paperback
This slim volume is an extra- ordinary book and I must have puchased in the range of ten copies to give to friends since I first came across it. In the last twenty years I have read everything by and about what is commonly called the 'Fourth Way' and Gurdjieff. I also belonged to a 'fourth way' mystery school but this little book has really been the key to transmute the knowledge and experiences gained into 'being'. The style is direct and comes out of Red Hawk's profound search for self- knowledge and the honesty of his understanding. Red Hawk is also a poet and at the end of each chapter his seamless poems reflect on the learning that goes before. I recommend this to any serious seeker who wants to 'drink the water and not the wave!'
