TRANSFORMATION was written as a recreational project while Bennett was on holiday with his family in August 1968. The text is unfinished, was left abandoned at the time of the author's death six years after it was written, and contains references to later chapters which remained unwritten. There is no reason to suppose that he ever intended it to be published, and indeed when once asked during the early days of his International Academy of Continuous Education whether he planned to lay out a written account of his teachings and techniques, he rejected the suggestion. The text contains none of the copious references to other authors and texts which form a part of his other writings. It is not even clear to whom he was writing. However, the text has been found to be of great value to those who try to follow a spiritual path based on the principles of the Fourth Way.
