Author: Patterson, William Patrick

"Patterson has a vivid memory and a storyteller's ear. Paced like a novel and filled with colorful characters this spiritual autobiography gives a rare and engaging inside glimpse of Gurdjieff's esoteric teaching. "
-Yoga Journal

"Comes from a great depth, carries much conviction "
-Gnosis Magazine

"An excellent and candid writer with a gift for capturing a character through a few lines of dialogue or acute observation. 'Eating The "I " is in a class with Isherwood's brilliant, devastatingly frank, story of spiritual quest, 'My Guru and His Disciples.' "
