Gurdjieff's Early Talks 1914-1931: In Moscow, St. Petersburg, Essentuki, Tiflis, Constantinople, Berlin, Paris, London, Fontainebleau, New York, and Chicago Kindle Edition

by G. Gurdjieff (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 72 ratings
See all formats and editions

The talks in this volume are not verbatim transcriptions. In the early years of Gurdjieff's exposition of the fourth way teaching, he rarely allowed notes to be taken during his talks. The majority of his early talks were written down after the fact by pupils who were present, either individually or collectively, and should be taken as recollections of what people believed Gurdjieff to have said.


The provenance of the talks are library archives, private collections, and individuals from all around the world. They have been arranged chronologically and are presented in this edition for the first time in their entirety.


Over one hundred authentic talks, unaltered and unexpurgated.


Illustrated and fully indexed with exercises, sayings and aphorisms.

    5.0 out of 5 stars THE BOOK. If you want to listen just to Mister Gurdjeff's own words, this is it for the first half of his teaching career.

    Incredible piece of work, to reassemble essentially every recorded talk from glimpses of truth which opens Views from the Real World and most of the other pieces there read done with new language much more well guided and remembered by many many people differently so that this volume was an absolute necessity. If you want to hear Mister Gurdjeff speak himself without any interference from Ouspensky or Orage or anyone else, this is the book. My only complaint is the effacement of the symbols that adorned the whiteboard which is half the front cover. It's probably because there are no written explanations in Mister Gurdjeff's words about those particular diagrams that I call the & diagrams. Oh well. Maybe an empty head and an empty whiteboard is the perfect companion to the ideas of Mister Gurdjeff pouring out his life for the world and mankind with no apologies thank you. The single most extraordinary man of the twentieth century in my opinion spare none. THE TEACHER for the new Aion

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Entirely New, But Valuable Anyway
    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Notes of lectures by Gurdjieff made by his pupils have been thin on the ground. We have the books: Views From The Real World and Peter Ouspensky's excellent In Search of The Miraculoius. This useful book contains notes, some of which clearly come from some of the lectures documented in those books - but documented here by a different note-taker - as well as from other lectures which have not, as far as I am aware, been published. If you are interested in Gurdjieff's teaching, It is important to own a copy of these book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It can open your eyes...
    Reviewed in Germany on June 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This book, after my study of Gurdjieff in theory and practice for more than 50 years, has managed to open my eyes to many of the beauties Mr. Gurdjieff brought to us. I hope it can take place for many others too.

    I am thankful for the publishers from bringing this version out; it lacks the editing that was incorporated into "Views from the Real World", and says many things in the raw Gurdjieff-language, and speaks directly to the reader.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Rarity - A Genuine Book On The Teachings Of Mr Gurdjieff
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    'In Search Of The Miraculous' is in itself a remarkable work which can be read many times, yet it is most refreshing after many years to be able to 'hear' some of the teaching presented, as it reached the ears of others present at the same as Mr Ouspensky.

    To any 'follower' of Mr Gurdjieff there will possibly be no new revelations contained within, yet it is valuable anyway to have concepts redefined and different examples of these presented in differing formats. It is always better I feel to hear from close to the horse's mouth than directly from the donkey's tail - I rather suspect that in the future many donkies will be attracted to Mr G's particular well of wisdom and all of them will probably feel duty-bound to educate the rest of us, thus making the efforts of Joseph Azize particularly appreciated.

    The book itself is beautifully bound with a soft satin-touch cover and well laid out. It must have been a major task deciding which material should be included, yet the end result deserves full commendation.

    Although this book contains some of the material previously released under the title, "Views from the Real World - The Early Talks of Gurdjieff," it contains much, much more, as well as more complete and unedited versions of some of this previous material. This makes this book an invaluable reference for those still testing the waters, so to speak, as well as excellent ancillary material to participation in the living Work.
