In Search of the Miracluous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching
P.D. Ouspensky
An essential record of teachings of Gurdjieff from 1914 to 1921. This key work conveys painstaking dedication to accurately preserving Gurdjieff's ideas and methods during this period, as well as the author's personal efforts to understand. Other than Gurdjieff's own writings, this book is among a few that are indispensable. However, not everyone is touched by Gurdjieff's teaching in the same way. Therefore, some may want to start with more general works or first-person accounts.
