Ronimund von Bissing, Son of a naturalised British subject, was educated at Charterhouse, Oxford University and La Sorbonne. From a very early age he found himself alone among his peers who, for the most part, did not share his search for an inner way which was to become his principal objective in life. From 1935 he attended lectures in London given by P D Ouspensky -- the prominent Russian philosopher and thinker -- which opened the doors of hope for him.
