When Piotr Demianovich Ouspensky (1878-1947) met Gurdjieff in St. Petersburg in 1915  he was uniquely prepared to resonate to the latters call  and was to become one of the most important people to help spread Gurdjieffs ideas in the world. He was already a popular journalist and accomplished writer who had written several books on esoteric traditions (his seminal Tertium Organum was published in 1912). He had just returned from his own extensive search in the East  where he encountered a number of teachers but had not found what he was looking foran esoteric school  with a genuine teacher. In Gurdjieff he recognized such a teacher  and became a student. Later he distanced himself from Gurdjieff  for reasons that are hinted at in the present book and in other places  but which remain mysterious. Ouspensky himself became an important teacher  in a form derived almost entirely from Gurdjieff. He attracted many students in London  and later in New Jersey where he moved in 1941. He continued to work on the extensive notes he had made during his period studying directly with Gurdjieff (1915-1924). Shortly before he died  he finished the present book  which was based on these notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960457388085,"sku":"ByrdShop_4871876306","price":35.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9784871876308.jpg?v=1788287781","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-miraculous-fragments-of-an-unknown-teaching-9784871876308","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
