In Search of the Miraculous is Ouspensky's recollection of his first meeting and subsequent association with George Gurdjieff and the esoteric teaching that Gurdjieff imparted to him. This teaching still exists today in various forms; Ouspensky himself taught it to various groups from 1921–1947.

Much of this probably sounded plausible at the time. Subatomic particles, radiation (the craze to label every new thing a "this ray" and "that ray") and relativity were cutting edge science at the time and seemed to open up a previously unsuspected invisible realm. However, it is all pretty clearly incompatible with even a rudimentary understanding of the world from the 21st century standpoint (Gurdjieff denies evolution, astronomy, etc., substituting in their place some quite outlandish theories).Saint John Vianney isn’t a saint from ancient days, but from the modern era. He was alive at the same time our Founding Fathers were establishing the Constitution, dying shortly before our Civil War.
