Description

Some 4,600 years ago, a brotherhood of wise men in Mesopotamia discovered the cosmic secret for continuous renewal. They understood how the drama of life offers the means to build an eternal soul. This esoteric knowledge remained hidden until 1916 when the Russian mystic, G.I. Gurdjieff revealed how the Octave and the Enneagram offer the possibility for perpetual self-renewal.Bruce Miller uses ancient knowledge, recent history, and compelling personal stories to show how waves of adversity provide the energy for Uplift.Bruce encountered this knowledge in 1975 at age 24 while helping English author/performer, Reshad (Tim) Feild establish the Institute for Conscious Life in Los Angeles. Bruce saw how Reshad had a sorcerer-like gift to lift the energy, heal the sick, and banish gloom. This movement of energy was called the Octave. From this, Bruce became Reshad's Octave apprentice.Fifty years later, on a shocking afternoon, Bruce's business went bankrupt and his wife Karen collapsed from a brain tumor. "The implausible timing gave us hope, that we could navigate the rollercoaster intensity of events by trusting the hidden currents of the Octave and Enneagram," Bruce said.Karen added, "I saw how the doctor's seven-month prognosis was not more powerful than the healing energies available to me. It was like riding a wave, so rather than getting pulled under, I got on top and rode it to the end."
