Ouspensky on esotericism

If we take history in the ordinary way as a series of separate events, we shall not find proofs of esotericism. One thing will follow another, on the surface and without apparent connection. But if we know that things are connected, and look for connections, we shall find them hidden beneath the surface.

Peter Ouspensky

Pyotr Demyanovich Uspensky, known in English as P. D. Ouspensky, was a Russian philosopher and esotericist known for his expositions of the early work of the Greek-Armenian teacher of esoteric doctrine George Gurdjieff. Wikipedia

Born: March 5, 1878, Moscow, Russia

Died: October 2, 1947

Featured Books from New Thinking Allowed

From the second-century celestial models of Ptolemy to modern-day research institutes and quantum theory, this classic book offers a breathtaking tour of astronomy and the brilliant, eccentric personalities who have shaped it.

In the wake of socialism’s demise and liberalism’s loss of direction, new ideas are needed for the next major realignment of the social and political domain. Making a unique contribution to the idea of ‘the commons’, this book offers a radical form of direct democracy with real-world implications.


In The New Science of Consciousness Survival and the Metaparadigm Shift to a Conscious Universe, Alan Ross Hugenot argues that developments in quantum electrodynamics, nonlocality, and near-death research challenge classical materialism and point toward consciousness as fundamental rather than derivative. 


The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality by Colette Baron-Reid, with contributions from Anna Denning, presents a meditative drawing practice that combines creativity, neuroscience, and intention to support personal transformation. The book introduces a gentle seven-step method using simple drawing, meditation, and reflection to help readers reshape habitual patterns and engage consciously with the process of manifestation.
