In Search of the Miraculous

Review
"A very provocative book that can lead to a complete reassessment of what a reader takes to be his knowledge."Saturday Review
Book Description
A new edition of the groundbreaking spiritual treasure, with a foreword by bestselling author Marianne Williamson .Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous has been
hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of G. I. Gurdjieffs thoughts and universal view. This historic and influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from teacher to student. Gurdjieffs goal, to
introduce the Work to the West, attracted many students, among them Ouspensky, an established mathematician, journalist, and, with the publication of In Search of the Miraculous, an eloquent and persuasive proselyte.Ouspensky describes Gurdjieffs teachings in fascinating and accessible detail, providing what has proven to be a stellar introduction to the
universal view of both student and teacher. It goes without saying that In Search of the Miraculous has inspired great thinkers and writers of ensuing spiritual movements, including Marianne Williamson, the highly acclaimed author of A Return to Love and Illuminata. In a new and neverbeforepublished foreword, Williamson shares the influence of Ouspenskys
book and Gurdjieffs teachings on the New Thought movement and her own life, providing a contemporary look at an already timeless classic.
