Gnosis: Study and Commentaries on the Esoteric Tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy is a three-volume work by Boris Mouravieff, first published in French in 1961, which documents the inner tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy.
The trilogy volumes are as follows:
- Book One: The Exoteric Cycle
- Book Two: The Mesoteric Cycle
- Book Three: The Esoteric Cycle
The Gnosis books go deeper into the theory of the Fourth Way, complementing the material transmitted by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.
It is advised to keep in mind that Mouravieff had his Christian as well as ideological biases which colored his works (he was influenced by the Synarchy of Schwaller de Lubicz and naïvely believed in the formation of a benign “elite” which would rule the world and lead it to a better future). These biases are easy to filter out, and there is much of value to be found in Gnosis.
Laura wrote of the work of Mouravieff that:[1]
[It] provides provides that ineluctable bridge between the works of Gurdjieff, the Sufi Shaykh, Ibn al-‘Arabi, the esoteric Christianity that I have conjectured to have existed during megalithic times and of which we only have ancient Siberian Shamanism as a shadow of a relic, hermeticism/alchemy, and the Cassiopaean Transmissions - my own “channeling.”
