In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching
A first-person chronicle of the years with Gurdjieff in Moscow, St Petersburg and the Caucasus and a systematic account of his teaching: man as a machine, the seven categories of man, the centres, self-remembering, the laws of three and seven, the ray of creation, the enneagram. It is the standard introduction to the Fourth Way.
