Product Information

In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching is a 1949 book by Russian philosopher P. D. Ouspensky which recounts his meeting and subsequent association with George Gurdjieff. He also works great miracles, so as even to make fire come down from Heaven to earth in the presence of human beings.

Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii (known in English as Peter D. Ouspensky, Пётр Демья́нович Успе́нский; was a Russian mathematician and esotericist known for his expositions of the early work of the Greek-Armenian teacher of esoteric doctrine George Gurdjieff, whom he met in Moscow in 1915. He was associated with the ideas and practices originating with Gurdjieff from then on. He shared the (Gurdjieff) "system" for 25 years in England and the United States, having separated from Gurdjieff in 1924 personally, for reasons he explains in the last chapter of his book In Search of the Miraculous. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

It feels sacreligious to speak of a book in my top 7 for life. If given the choice for all memory of my life to be removed forever from earth or all memory of this book forever I would say let the earth forget me. Gurdjieff’s only complaint of this book was that it was too clear, hahaha! Saint John Vianney was one such saint. The Abbe Trochu wrote several biographies of the saint, based on the documents from John Vianney’s cause for canonization — and those biographies read like Grimms’ fairy tales.

The 2001 edition has a foreword by writer Marianne Williamson, in which she notes the book's reputation as being a classic, or even a primer, in the teaching of esoteric principles and ideas. The 2004 facsimile edition of the first edition is identical in every way apart from a few modifications.Before going into the home, she had never heard of Mother Teresa. She could neither read nor write and had no knowledge of the world beyond the immediate area where she lived. “But when the sisters prayed, in the morning the tumour was not there,” she said. “Then my belief grew towards Mother, that she had done this.” I asked, why did she think Mother chose her for this miracle? She paused for so long that I thought she had not understood the question. At last she replied: “I cannot answer that.” Over the course of 24 hours I had witnessed a miracle, been stroked by a eunuch and saved a dying horse. Only in Kolkata could you do this. He said, "Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.

Two ten minute workouts close the Regardless, I strongly recommend In Search of the Miraculous. It's the single best book on Gurdjieff's work ever written. It's reasonably comprehensive on the important theories and methods. It's clear--no Beelzebub's Talesian mumbo-jumbo. It includes enough of Ouspensky's personal comments and experiences to make an entertaining story, but it isn't a self-indulgent book about the author ("and then he said this to me, and then I said that to him.") I find Ouspensky's other works overly dry and intellectual, but this one is both fun and profound. (And if you happen to buy a copy that has a bookmark in it from a purported Gurdjieff "school" -- toss the bookmark. Trust me about that.) We passed down an avenue of eucalyptus trees, through a hamlet of mud huts, their walls painted white and yellow, and daubed with the hammer and wheatsheaf – the symbol of the Communist party of India – finally arriving at a collection of mud houses, with thatched and corrugated iron roofs.

The location of the miracle was fortuitous, for the name of Mother Teresa has long been synonymous with Kolkata, the city where she had ministered to the poor for almost 50 years. It is also a city where miracles seem to occur on a daily basis. It took the Catholic church four years to accumulate and examine the evidence necessary to beatify Mother Teresa and affirm that the healing of Monika Besra was indeed, by all the criteria required, a miracle. So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.
