In Search of theMiraculous was originally to be calledFragments of an Unknown Teaching. It is a mosaic of interlocking ideas, setagainst the backcloth of turmoil in Russia covering the ten-year period 1914 to1924. Written by R D. Ouspensky, it was acknowledged by Gurdjieff as anaccurate record of his teaching, when he read it just before it was published25 years after the events it described. Its theme is freedom; from the tyrannyof the collective and, even more importantly, from the delusions of theindividual mind. Since it first appeared, it has been an inspiration forcountless numbers of seekers, and has gradually penetrated into popularculture.Gurdjieff told Ouspensky, "A great deal can be found byreading. For instance, take yourself: you might already know a great deal ifyou knew how to read". This Indexshows the ideas in their various contexts as they emerged over the years, byfollowing their chronological appearance.As a DuVersity publication, it serves the understanding ofcomplexity and how we can encounter and participate in the deep thinking ofhumanity. This thinking takes nothing less than 'all of everything' for itssubject, which is owned by no authority and is beyond any system whetherreligious or scientific.

<p>At last, an enneagram book that explains the full potential of this mysterious nine-pointed symbol, with applications reaching far beyond personality typology. The enneagram, an ancient diagram first popularized by G. I. Gurdjieff, represents the evolution of any process and is thus a remarkable tool for analyzing and understanding many different areas of endeavor. Like the I Ching hexagrams or the kabbalistic Tree of Life, the enneagram is an ingenious device providing access to a higher order of information and can lead us to new and creative ways of thinking and problem-solving. Drawing on the teachings of John Bennett, a major interpreter of the Gurdjieff Work, the author shows how using the enneagram can enhance our powers of intuition, our capacity to see situations holistically, and our ability to find connections between different regions of knowledge and experience. After discussing in detail the fundamental ideas woven into the symbol, the author applies the insights in the enneagram to a series of topics ranging from the solar system to sex, from science fiction movies to the Lord's Prayer.</p>
