The Tertium Organum by P. D. Ouspensky explains the author's
philosophy of human behavior, and attempts to reconcile the natural
sciences with the theological and spiritual beliefs developed by
mankind. A bold and ambitious work of philosophy, Tertium Organum
is a committed attempt to establish a new model of the universe
from the perspective of humanity. Our individual reality and
perceptions, the application and development of the sciences, and
our relationship with the spiritual and the divine form background
themes in what is often an intense and focused explanation of
reality. The author does not stray to fanciful notions, but embarks
and maintains a route of reasoned explanation after the style of
the theosophical movement. P. D. Ouspensky was born in Russia and
first worked at a newspaper in Moscow. World War I proved almost
disastrous to his spiritual and professional life; the Tertium
Organum, originally written and published in Russia, was assumed
lost amid the conflict.

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.
2013 Reprint of 1913 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Front
and back covers reproduce the 22 cards illustrated in color in the
original edition. This is Ouspensky's classic study of the 22 cards
of the Greater Arcana. His insightful illustrations and commentary
provide a fuller understanding of the meaning of each card, how
they complement each other and their respective roles in an
accurate card reading.
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.

When Tertium Organum burst onto the New York literary scene its
author, P. D. Ouspensky, was unaware of it. Piotr Demianovich
Ouspensky, the most famous pupil of Greco-Armenian spiritual
teacher George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, had written Kluck Kzaradkam
(the original title) in his native Russian and it had been
published in St. Petersburg in 1912. At the time of its New York
debut his whereabouts were unknown. A Russian by the name of
Nicholas Bessarabof had emigrated to America before the 1917
Russian Revolution and had taken the book with him. He gave a copy
to architect Claude Bragdon who could read Russian and was
interested in forth-dimensional consciousness. After reading the
book a friend echoed Bragdons' sentiments saying; He has recently
discovered a young Russian who "seems to us remarkable in many
ways." The man has introduced him to Ouspensky and his book on the
fourth dimension called Tertium Organum. Bragdon believes this book
to be the "long sought New Testament of the Sixth Race which will
justify the meekness of the saint, the vision of the mystic, and
create a new heaven and a new earth." He is currently collaborating
with Bessarabof on an English translation.A " In 1920 without
Ouspensky's knowledge, Bragdon and Bessarabof published the book in
English through Manas Press in New York. Meanwhile Ouspensky, a
journalist and destitute author, had arrived in Constantinople with
hardly a penny to his name. Later that year he was gratified to
receive a substantial royalty check, and the news that Tertium
Organum was a publishing success in English, and that his fame in
literary circles was assured. In 1921 he wrote, "This translation,
made without my knowledge and participation, at a time when I was
cut off by war and revolution from the civilized world, transmits
my thought so exactly that after a very attentive review of the
book I could find only one word to correct. Such a result could be
achieved only because Mr. Bessarabof and Mr. Bragdon were not
translating words merely, but were grasping directly my thoughts at
the back of them." In May 1921 Ouspensky received the sum of GBP100
from Lady Rothermere who was in Rochester, New York; it was wired
with the message: 'Deeply impressed by your book Tertium Organum -
wish to meet you in New York or London - will pay all expenses.'
This invitation gave Ouspensky the opportunity to move to England
where he secured Gurdjieff's permission to write a book on his
philosophy. Ouspensky spent the next twenty years in England
lecturing and teaching Gurdjieff's ideas and developing his own
philosophy. His lectures in London were attended by such literary
figures as Aldous Huxley, T. S. Eliot, and other writers,
journalists and doctors. His influence on the literary scene of the
1920's and 1930's as well as on the Russian avant-garde was huge
but today he is not widely known.

P.D. Ouspensky is a leading and influential figure in occult and
mystical thought and philosophy, most famous for his seminal work,
Tertium Organum. Here Ouspensky delves into the mystical symbolism
of the Major Arcana of the tarot; this book reads more like poetry
than a how to book, and will illuminate you imagination with
visions that ill add depth and meaning to your readings and
understanding of the mystery of tarot. Fully Illustrated with the
Wirth Tarot
This is one of the Great Books on the Great Mystery..... do you
have a mind balanced and broad enough to grasp it? Time is really
motion in extra dimensional space... this profound thought can
point us towards the actual physical location of the "Fourth
Dimension." Our perception confuses this Dimension with Time, but
with an evolution of consciousness, it can be percieved. This is
the next huge Evolutionary Leap, both for the individual and for
Mankind, in understanding the true nature of the Universe and
Reality. Peter D. Ouspesky was a widely traveled Russian born
philosopher, who made his way to London after the Bolshevik
Revolution. He was associated with Gurdjieff for many years, but
ultimately seperated both from the man and the philosophy.
Ouspensky's work stands apart and above, as writing of rare
lucidity and clarity.
