This historic and influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from teacher to student.

Pending further discussion of the nature of this search, we can say only that his writings are cast in forms that are directed not only to the intellectual function but also to the emotional and even subconscious sensitivities that, all together, make up the whole of the human psyche.
The reader is referred to chapters 5, 7, and 9 in In Search of the Miraculous for an explanation of this diagram, but the point to be emphasized here is that, at the deepest level, the human mind and heart are enmeshed in a concatenation of causal influences of enormous scale and design.
In Search of the Miraculous presents a series of diagrams dealing with the same energies and laws as the Ray of Creation, not only as a cosmic ladder of descent but also in their evolutionary aspect within the individual.

Ouspensky invested at least ten years writing, editing and refining In Search of the Miraculous; those ten years were based on many previous years of his intimate contact with G. Gurdjieff and his teaching under severe and sometimes life-threatening conditions caused by the political upheaval in revolutionary Russia and two world wars.
In Search of the Miraculous is not for the spiritually lazy; it requires a great deal of the reader, really.
Among the many fine texts available from the spiritual and philosophical traditions, as well as a smattering of new publications, In Search of the Miraculous stands out as a sort of touch-stone by which one can prove one's gold.

 P. D. Ouspensky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was during this time, after Gudjieff founded his Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, that Ouspensky came to the conclusion that he was no longer able to understand his former teacher, and made a decision to discontinue association with him.
Shortly after his death in 1947, The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution was published, together with In Search of the Miraculous.

Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous has been hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of G. Gurdjieff's thoughts and universal view.
An astonishing record of the author's search for the meaning of human existence and of his eight years' work as the pupil of G.I. Gurdijeff, one of this century's most profound and influential spiritual teachers.
First, P.D. Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous," though it is burdened with a cheesy New-Agey title, is, at the very least, a profound work of the imagination in that it synthesizes a panoply of ancient pseudo-sciences into an over-arching structure that is more or less coherent.

 In Search of the Miraculous
I saw self-understanding as the necessary first step, the place to start, to determine what was really essential, basic me, and on the other hand what was learned or acquired in one way or another.
At the store I saw a book called In Search of the Miraculous by a P. Ouspensky, and when I looked at the introductory material, I saw that it was the record of the author's time spent studying under one Gurdjieff.
But over those years, the search had focused, even if I could hardly see that while in the midst of it.

 Powell's Books - In Search of the Unitive Vision: Letters of Sri Madhava Ashish to an American Businessman, 1978-1997 ...
Thus did the guru Madhava Ashish, at their first meeting, invite American businessman Sy Ginsburg on a spiritual journey that would last 19 years (until the guru's death) and include a lengthy correspondence and annual visits to Sri Madhava Ashish's Mirtola ashram, near Almora, in India's Himalayan foothills.
Along the way, the entrepreneur/author would not only be caught up in the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, but also in the search for the elusive unitive vision — the world viewed from the perspective of the greater Self and not the personality.
In this remarkable spiritual document, the reader shares the search, increasingly catching glimpses of the unitive vision as the book draws toward a close that is also an opening out, into the vaster dimensions of the human mind.

 Ouspensky was the first to write about The Fourth Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
After finding theosophical literature (which was prohibited in Russia), he discovered the idea of esotericism, which gave him the possibility of looking at religion and mysticism from a different angle.
In 1908 he traveled in Turkey, Greece, and Egypt, and upon his return to Russia in 1909 he left Moscow to live in St. Petersburg, where he began giving public lectures on his travels and his continuing search for the miraculous.
But perhaps the most important works are those that record his profound understanding and meticulous presentation of The Fourth Way: In Search of the Miraculous, published posthumously in 1950, and The Fourth Way, also published posthumously in 1957.

 Enneagram and Process....tales of the octave.
These are the Ray of Creation and and the Food Diagram (ie Diagram of Transformation of Food), both attributed to Gurdjieff in Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous.
The inner lines show certain non-obvious connections between the points, one of the main reasons for analysing a process as an octave is to learn more about it by contemplating those inner connections.
In "In Search of the Miraculous" by Gurdjieff's disciple Ouspensky, for example, the passage of food through the human organism was mapped onto the enneagram while the inner lines indicated the circulation of the blood.

It mattered to me to find the miraculous because my education had been the worldview of materialism and although I felt that it was not a complete picture I was not ready to let go of such an apparently sensible possition unless I absolutely KNEW the miraculous existed.
But after those years, if your ability to think for yourself hasn't been entirely eradicated by "the system", its beautifully crafted set of snares and it's frantic adherents, you may begin to see that "the system" is not what it appears to be.

 John Shirley: Gurdjieff
"In Search [his reference to Fragments] was written and meticulously revised by Ouspensky over a period of at least ten years in order to give as honest and objective an account of the teaching as possible.
And we had all the diagrams that are in In Search of the Miraculous and there was quite a lot to go on, but somehow it was all hopeless.
He agreed to this plan and authorized me to write and publish it." It seems likely that this was the genesis of In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching, and this account suggests that Gurdjieff had authorized such an introduction in advance, some 30 years earlier.

 In Search of the Miraculous
Man’s confusion, his lack of unity, his unnecessary suffering, his immorality—in fact everything that characterizes the sorrow of the human condition—come about because these centers of perception are wrongly related, wrongly functioning, and because man does not see or care to know this about himself.
A characteristic of In Search of the Miraculous, which from all other accounts doubtless reflects the Gurdjieff teaching accurately, is the unique mingling of cosmological ideas with teachings concerning psychology.
Ouspensky now begins the long, powerful portrayal of Gurdjieff’s teachings about the origin and structure of the universe, the laws behind the appearances, laws and forces that govern everything from the creation of galaxies to the movements of atoms to the energy transactions within the human organism.
