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. Gurdjieff's 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. Gurdjieff's 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 Gurdjieff's 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 never-before-published
foreword, Williamson shares the influence of Ouspensky's book and
Gurdjieff's teachings on the New Thought movement and her own life,
providing a contemporary look at an already timeless classic.

2012 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The
Strange Life of Ivan Osokin" is a novel by P. D. Ouspensky. It
follows the unsuccessful struggle of Ivan Osokin to correct his
mistakes when given a chance to relive his past. The conclusion
fully anticipates the Fourth Way Philosophy which typified
Ouspensky's later works, in particular the final chapter's
description of the shocking realization of the mechanical nature of
existence, its consequences, and the need to work in an esoteric
school.

Here is the story of Ivan Osokin, a young man who has squandered
every chance life has given him. A fail ure at school, ruined
financially, and rejected by the woman he loves, he finds himself
at a dead end. He wishes to live his life over again so he can
avoid all his mistakes. Then he meets a magician who gives him that
chance."Strange Life of Ivan Osokin, while not the original
inspiration for our film Groundhog Day, was one of those confirming
cos mic affirmations that we had indeed tapped into one of the
great universal problems of being. In a novel that itself reads
like a very entertaining high-concept film, Ouspensky suggests the
anti dote to the existential dilemma at the core of Groundhog Day:
that trapped as we are on the karmic wheel of cause and effect, our
only means of escape is to assume responsibility for our own
destiny and find the personal meaning that imparts a purposeful
vitality to life and frees us from the limitations of our
contempt."-Harold Ramis, filmmaker
The Fourth Way is the most comprehensive statement thus far published of the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky's specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life -- as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi.
The Fourth Way is a guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth under conditions open to the men and women of today.
