4,600 years ago, a brotherhood of wise men in Mesopotamia discovered the cosmic secret for continuous renewal.The wise men 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, Reshad (Tim) Feild establish the Institute for Conscious Life in Los Angeles. Bruce witnessed Reshad’s sorcerer-like gift to heal the sick, open the heart, and banish gloom – a gift Reshad learned performing with Dusty Springfield. This movement of energy is called the Octave. As a budding filmmaker and student of dramatic structure, Bruce was fascinated and became Reshad’s Octave apprentice.
Fifty years later, this knowledge guided Bruce and his wife Karen through a minefield of shock when Bruce’s business went bankrupt on the same afternoon that 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 recounted.
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.

This is a very fine read. Each page resonates with a lived-in truth and wisdom. This is going to be one of my favorite work-books along with Madeline Gold and Roger Lipsey…each writer with their own bean row in the same garden.
Nothing wrong with that.

What a delight! The book is! It’s easy to read, easy to understand. It seems to have arrived at a perfect time on our little planet. I was out for lunch with two of my friends today, singing its praises, and they are ordering five copies…The narrator of Uplift shares amiably - funny, entertaining, interesting. Having gone down so many rabbit holes listening to J.G. Bennett, he seems easier to understand now as well. Love the book!
