Summary: The Wisdom of a Lifetime
Comment: There is such a vast amount of understanding offered here that one might easily read this book cover-to-cover nearly two dozen times and find fresh insight with each venture. I have. If there is any author that could communicate practical realities of the spiritual search and the work of transformation with Bennett's clarity and focus, I have never heard of him (and should very much like to). The theme of this book is the study of man -- that is, the worlds we inhabit both without and within, the various selves that can open us toward or restrict us from higher worlds or indeed, the higher parts of our own nature, the laws that consciously or unconsciously determine our behaviour, and the possibility of death and resurrection that we need to understand concretely if we are to be genuinely transformed. Permeated with the teaching of Gurdjieff, imbued with the influence of Sufism, this book speaks to that in us that yearns to journey toward a reality that transcends the limits of what our discursive reason can make sense of. It speaks FROM the life-long experience of a man who most certainly had journeyed far on that path himself. I treasure this book, though I recognize that it cannot likely be a popular one.

Summary: Systems of Cosmology and subtle Corporeity
Comment: John Bennet is one of a very small group of individuals who actually managed to 'get' some of what Gurdjieff was on about. In Deeper man he combines his insights into The Forth Way Tradition with his explorations of Sufism, Subud, and other Wisdom Traditions to present a number of independently valid systems or models of Cosmology and subtle Corporeity and their inter-relation(s).
Bennet, quite unlike many other commentators, never 'believes' in the models. He understands the functions and limitations of maps and mapmaking. If one comes away from a reading with no more than this one has spent one's money wisely.
Deeper man focuses on the nature of Participating in Reality rather than merely reacting to it.
