Written in Our Hearts

This work presents insights from a great variety of teachers from various traditions, including Gurdjieff, Durckheim and Christian mystics. It also details the author's search for meaning that led him across the continents, into an esoteric school, religious institutions, and culminated with a new synthesis of these ideas and experiences.

The universal essence of spiritual awakening This book is the product of nearly two decades of a spiritual search that led me through a variety of esoteric and religious studies. From the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff to the mystics of Christianity, the reader will find here connecting links that point to radical personal transformation. Full of quotes from the readings that guided me through difficult times, it is my hope that fellow seekers will find a compass for their own journey. This work is also a critical study of contemporary Christianity and points to its mystical origins rather than to its dogma and deviations. Practical methods and an extensive bibliography offers the reader an opportunity to apply ideas to his or her daily life and discover new horizons of conscious awareness
