In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching by P. D. Ouspensky recollects the teachings of an individual to whom he refers only as "G." and the author's ambivalent relationship with "G.", leading to his break with him. He meets "G." in St. Petersburg before the Russian Revolution and follows him through the Caucasian mountains to Constantinople (present day Istanbul), and then to western Europe.
Originally published at the time of G. I. Gurdjieff's death and authorized by Gurdjieff, it is considered the best exposition of the structure of Gurdjieff's ideas on consciousness, the three-brained nature of human beings and his cosmological structure of the universe as nested worlds. It is one of the few books that can be considered of Sufi origin that has an index.
