  When Ouspensky saw anotice for Gurdjieff's ballet it was the beginning of the end ofhis search for the miraculous:"One day in the office of the newspaper I found, while preparingfor the next issue, a notice (in, I think, The Voice of Moscow)referring to the scenario of a ballet, 'The Struggle of theMagicians,' which belonged, as it said, to a certain 'Hindu.' Theaction of the ballet was to take place in India and give acomplete picture of Oriental magic including fakir miracles,sacred dances, and so on. I did not like the excessively jauntytone of the paragraph, but as Hindu writers of ballet scenarioswere, to a certain extent, rare in Moscow, I cut it out and put itinto my paper, with the slight addition that there would beeverything in the ballet that cannot be found in real India butwhich travellers go there to see."

• Blavatsky, H P - Isis Sin Velo

  Downloaded: 3 times | Add to wishlist | Download for @5 credits

  (Spanish)  Isis Unveiled  was H. P. Blavatsky's first major literary effort, a critical response to the growing materialism in both scientific and religious institutions, and a vindication of the ageless quest. In the author's words, Isis "is the fruit of a somewhat intimate acquaintance with Eastern adepts and study of their science. . . . They showed us that by combining science with religion, the existence of God and immortality of man's spirit may be demonstrated." Supported by extensive evidence from religious and mystical traditions, classical scholarship, and the testimony of nature, these volumes aid the student in detecting the vital principles which underlie the philosophical systems of old
