Without Benefit of Clergy: Some Personal Footnotes to the Gurdjieff Teaching 
Frank R. Sinclair
As a young man, Frank Sinclair looked for, and found, the teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff in Cape Town, South Africa. In this brief memoir, he describes experiences at Mendham and his subsequent work under the influence of Madame de Salzmann and others. He recounts his relations with several unusual people—"seekers all"—and concludes with unusually candid "random inferences" about the place of the Work in the world today.
