J.G. Bennett's 4-volume magnum opus "The Dramatic Universe", is a search for a unified vision of reality. It ranks with the most important books in the history of human spirituality. "Dramatic Universe" is both, a synthesis of human thought and a practical guide to work on oneself. Using the teachings of Gurdjieff as a starting place, Bennett provides a realistic vision of God, man, and the universe, in which fact and value are reconciled through the Doctrine of Reciprocal Maintenance.
