Summary

Near the end of the Theosophy series, Rey examines the strange lives of Peter Ouspensky and John G. Bennett, who were followers of Gurdjieff, but also gurus in their own right with many followers of their own. They struggled with the legacy of Gurdjieff in different ways, but both were in pretty sad states by the end of their lives.
