We find Helena frozen in mid movement during a 'Stop Exercise' at J. G. Bennett's Coombe Springs, dangling from the end of a rope in the Swiss Alps, intuiting what sort of Idiot she was in Gurdjieff's flat in Paris, and teaching Gurdjieff's Movements herself. We see her crossing central Turkey in blazing heat on a search, having reservations about the Indonesian teacher Pak Subuh, accepting the hospitality of a stranger at an oasis, entrained with a Soviet propagandist, and experiencing the Sufi way of teaching at first hand.

All This - and Heaven Too? recalls some of the twentieth century's more remarkable teachers. Much has been written about G. I. Gurdjieff, J. G. Bennett and Idries Shah. Few met all three, let alone worked closely with two of them. Helena Edwards provides valuable insights into their methods, and into Fourth Way and Sufi work in general.
