  Meetings with Remarkable Men - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remarkably, most of them do in fact find "truth" in the form of some suitable spiritual destiny.
The underlying philosophy, especially as articulated in an appendix, amounts to the assertion that people generally live their lives asleep, are unconscious of themselves, and accordingly behave like machines, subject to outside causes and pressures.
Many of the vignettes in Meetings are meant to be symbolic, or are "teaching stories" similar to the parables current in Sufi circles.

 Meetings With Remarkable Men   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Now the *film* of 'Meetings With Remarkable Men' seems to take a very straight-forward, even literal-minded approach to portraying Gurdjieff's search-which basically follows his growth from a rascally and inquisitive schoolboy, to an intense young man consumed by a hunger for the knowledge of life's meaning.
That said, there are at least three very good reasons to see 'Meetings:' First, it is one of the very few films to portray the spiritual search vividly and honestly; despite its cinematic flaws, this alone is a remarkable achievement.
To a viewer who is already familiar with the book of 'Meetings...' many of the events in the film will play like a cinematic shorthand, and will thus "make sense" (e.g., young Gurdjieff grabbing the snake at his father's behest, or the 'Where is God just now?' conversation between the father and Dean Borsh).

 MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE MEN - G. Gurdjieff - Penguin Group (USA)
A compulsive 'read' in the tradition of adventure narratives, but suffused with Gurdjieff's unique perspective on life, it is organized around portraits of remarkable men and women who aided Gurdjieff's search for hidden knowledge or accompanied him on his journeys in remote parts of the Near East and Central Asia.
Meetings conveys a haunting sense of what it means to live fully - with conscience, with purpose, and with heart.
Among the remarkable individuals whom the reader will come to know are Gurdjieff's father (a traditional bard), a Russian prince dedicated to the search for Truth, a Christian missionary who entered a World Brotherhood deep in Asia, and a woman who escaped white slavery to become a trusted member of Gurdjieff's group of fellow seekers.
