Guide Lectures

The Guide lectures contain the central teachings of the Pathwork, and are both the most important and the most substantial of all the Pathwork materials.1  The lectures are available in two versions: the Unedited Version (UV), and the 1996 Edition (1996ED).2  For a list of Unedited titles, please click here; for a list of 1996 titles, please click here.

You may order the lectures on a CD, or order either electronic or printed copies of lectures by following the procedures on the How To Order page on this site.   You may also download free of charge an expanded version of the Bratnick Lecture Index.  The latter index provides a way of identifying the principal lectures containing texts bearing on a given topic. It is 72 pages in length, so expect it to take a couple of minutes to download.

In reading Pathwork lectures, please bear in mind that the Guide says that the Pathwork "method cannot be conveyed by the lectures ... I suggest that [you] get in touch with ... members ... qualified to help."  (Lecture 57, p. 7)  For more detail on this point, please go to the overview.  Accordingly, if you wish to make effective use of the Pathwork, we suggest that you work with a qualified Pathwork Helper.  To locate Pathwork Helpers in Canada, please click here.  To locate Pathwork Helpers in the US, please go the website of the Pathwork Helpers Association of North America.

1. The 1996 Edition of the lectures includes 258 titles, compared with the shorter excerpts of approximately 80 titles published in the Pathwork books.   While the books are excellent for introductory purposes, there is no substitute for studying and working with the full texts of all the lectures relevant to a particular issue.
2. The Unedited Version (UV) provides 242 lecture texts as nearly as possible in the form in which they were first typed by Eva Pierrakos, with basic copy-editing to remove typographic errors.  The Edited Version (1996ED) seeks to retain the meaning of the UV text, while incorporating more substantive editing designed to make the text easier to read and understand.  The editing also seeks to reduce the use of phrasing that uses the masculine gender ("man", "he", "his") in passages referring to all humankind.  The 1996ED includes 16 Question & Answer transcripts not included in the UV, and therefore has 258 titles.  The 1996ED and UV supersede all previous editions of the lectures.
