“The Oragean Version” is a rare and precious text which compares, and perhaps favorably, to Ouspensky’s “In Search of the Miraculous”. King’s text is a better organized and more coherent and more direct presentation of Gurdjieff’s ideas. Subjective biographical context has been well contained to the forward and afterward of this volume.
Charles Daly King was a key member of A. R. Orage’s inner circle and Gurdjieff groups in New York, where King served in a teaching role for certain groups.
This text was NOT INTENDED TO BE PUBLISHED, but rather, to be exchanged among serious students of the Work. Publication was explicitly forbidden by the author. May its availability today serve as a blessing.
