The three volumes of Boris Mouravieff`s Gnosis describe the inner doctrines of Eastern Christianity: Volume I the exoteric teaching, this Volume (II) the practical or mesoteric teaching, and Volume III the truly esoteric. Gnosis does more than simply explore the mysterious relation between the `Fourth Way` and the little known `Royal Way` of Eastern Orthodoxy; it forms a modern primer in the knowledge tradition of the early church, and gives practical instruction in methods of spirituality for serious seekers. After escaping the Russian revolution and the Nazi occupation of France, Mouravieff taught these doctrines in language compatible with modern thought at Geneva University. These three books agree to a high degree with the teachings of the early fathers of the church, as well as with the inner teachings of all religions. An astonishing display of brilliant and profound understanding of Fourth Way ideas ... will require all Fourth Way students, and certainly all who seek awakening, to reconsider in a newlight the great legacy left us by Gurdjieff. -- Theodore Nottingham in `In the Work`. ... one of those wonderful volumes that manage to rise above specific traditions to a plane of magnificent clarity. It is a challenging contribution to our literature which left me with a great sense of succor and hope. -- Timothy O`Neill in `Gnosis` magazine.
