Product Description

Review

Through a series of five lectures, the Russian philosopher whose writings include Tertium Organum and most recently In Search of the Miraculous (October 1, 1949- p. 567) considers the "forgotten science of psychology". Disregarding the study of man as he is or seems to be, with which the modern schools concern themselves, he turns to the study of man as he may be, what man's evolution means and the question of whether there are special conditions necessary to achieve it. The theory and linguistics presented here are far beyond the reach or inclination of this Freud-oriented reader. For followers and seekers. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

Studies man in view of what he may become. Describes how a man must work simultaneously on his knowledge and his being to find inner unity. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

If you're new to Gurgjieffian thought, this is the book to start with. It gives a general overview of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky's main philosophical ideas. The book is in the form of five short lectures that each tackle a particular topic. The major emphasis of the book is that humans need to learn to stop being meachines and to acquire self-consciousness by self-sudy before any upward motion along the lines of knowledge and being can be accomplished. Contains very practical advice.

This is a great little book that offers a surprising amount of insight into the spiriual path. The book is written before Ouspensky published his book "In Search of the Miraculous", which goes into much more detail, but this book has so many little gems that it is worth every penny spent. To me Ouspensky is more accessible than reading Gurdjieff directly and gives a very good overview of the 4'th way teaching.

mind blowing! 15 May 2009
Format:Paperback
this book is brilliant!there were many parts of 'in search of the miraculas'that i could't get my head round.Evan after a 2nd read.this book was a very concise overview of the whole teaching which enabled me to put alot of pieces together that i didn't understand before.if you like this kind of book i recommend 'the mystic path to cosmic power' by vernon howard.
