  • By P D Ouspensky
    Reading by Debbie Elliott.
    The book begins with Ouspensky returning home to St. Petersburg from his recent excursion to the East, where he journeyed "in search of the miraculous", as he put it. He soon meets a mysterious man, a certain "G.", who has all the answers to which Ouspensky has been so arduously searching for all his life. He immediately joins Mr. Gurdjieff's esoteric school, and begins learning a certain system of self-development which originated in the East, allegedly during the most remote antiquity, possibly millennia before recorded history.
    Ouspensky recounts his trials learning this new system, which he later refers to as the Fourth Way, often recollecting entire lectures, or parts of lectures, which Mr. Gurdjieff gave to his disciples in St. Petersburg and Moscow from 1915-1917. He describes many of his experiences, particularly concerning the "art of self-remembering", and he recounts some of the methods and various exercises which comprised Gurdjieff's system.
    The book concludes with his experiences during the Bolshevik Revolution and his and Mr. Gurdjieff's eventual escape to the West, where they continued to teach Mr. Gurdjieff's system to many followers until their respective deaths in 1947 and 1949. The latter part of the book also describes the author's feelings and motives behind his eventual decision to teach the system independently, not under the direct supervision of his teacher, Mr. Gurdjieff, which he formally announced to his students in London in early 1924.

      you mean, the transcript of the book? that's a good idea, for those who would follow along, it helps sometimes, but listening was always more pleasant and easy to enjoy,ever since audiobooks became available....it's a priceless treasure,plus this lady's voice and reading is more than pleasant!
