書籍簡介

新版由暢銷書作家瑪麗安·威廉姆森作序。

一九一五年初，鄔氏在聖彼得堡公開演講，標題是“尋找奇蹟和死亡之問題”，內容以他在印度的旅遊為依據。每次人數都超過一千人，其後有許多人去拜訪他或寫信給他。復活節過後，他便回到莫斯科，並在那兒做這類的演講。透過一些聽眾，鄔氏認識了葛吉夫（G.I.Gurdjieff），這樣一來，他終於遇見了他一直尋找的那種密意學校。鄔氏跟葛吉夫研究了三年，並且把葛吉夫的教學全部記載下來。這本筆記命名為“尋找奇蹟，無名教學的片段”，於鄔氏逝世後一九四九年出版。

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.

作者簡介

彼得·鄔斯賓斯基：P.D.Ouspensky（1887-1947）出生於俄羅斯，年輕時就開始對宇宙論，數學和哲學進行深入的探索和研究，1912年發表了《第四維》，1914年發了《第三工具》，《宇宙的新模型》，給西方文化帶來了巨大的衝擊。從東方旅行回到俄羅斯以後，他作了數次以“尋找奇蹟”為題的公開演講，影響深遠。1915年他在聖彼得堡遇到了葛吉夫，開始研究“第四道”系統。在同葛吉夫一起工作幾年以後，他在英國開辦了另一所學校，繼續傳授“第四道”系統。他去世以後，他的一些"第四道"著作被陸續出版：第四道系統簡介《人可能進化的心理學》，描述跟葛吉夫共同工作的記錄《尋找奇蹟》，以及他與學生間進行的問答形式的記錄《第四道》。

他的傳授以慎密的理性思維着手。
