Summary: Evolutionary psychology
Comment: Although in a genre of the mystical rejected with vehemence by a scientific age, this, the best, of Ouspensky's works, before he got caught in the morass of the Gurdjieff system, outsmarted such charges by the cogent beginning of his consideration in the works of Kant. Any metaphysical startup needs a Kant bypass routine, Ouspensky's is clever (J.G. Bennett's at the beginning of Dramatic Universe is mostly hot air). The beginning is a tour de force in its perfect pitch for an age of positivism determined it seems to make men forget what man is, and what constitutes his real evolutionary psychology. From this gambit the work is suspect in so far as this invocation of metaphysical austerity is a moment's penitence for a renewed vision of the ghostseer, yet finally it asks the question that haunts the modern technological world, with its ideologically impoverished one-dimensional man. Like Schopenhauer and Hegel together in the shadow of Kant, Ouspensky nonetheless knows he must risk the venture beyond the finished critiques of metaphysics, and his journey carries an extraordinary resemblance to the forgotten steps of Hegel's journey into his own logic of the infinite. One often suspects these reactionaries of wishing to rewrite Hegel without his modernist vein. The comparison is useful, for it reminds us that Hegel, as so often, came here in his groping fashion, and did so alone with less polish what Ouspensky finds in derivative readings of ancient texts, and brought to it the idea of freedom, where Ouspensky still labors in the murky obscurities of political antiquity. The demand for a new logic is, in principle, a perfectly acceptable move, however premature its hope, and the imperfection of the result. At the end, we are left to wonder how a man who struck this note of such charm succumbed so readily to the suspect metaphysics of Gurdjieffian hucksterism.

Summary: Our time is really motion through extra dimensional space...
Comment: This is one of those great Books that has suffered because of a lack of readership capable of comprehending it. If one has the left brain traits necessary to grasp the transfinite logic and mathematics, then the mystical implications are ungraspable. And if you have the right brain intuition to understand the mystical implications, then you often struggle with the logic and mathematics. This book requires a reader with not only a first rate mind, but also a balanced one.
To briefly abstract the primary thesis: time is really motion in extra dimensional space. This is profound, for Ospensky was the first to actually point towards where an actual, physical fourth dimension can be found. Our brains confuse this dimension with time. It can be split off from time with an adjustment, or evolution, of consciousness. You see, this represents the next huge leap in understanding the nature of the universe and reality. Just as Newton's undefined quantity of "gravity" was shown to actually be curved space, so does Ouspensky show Einstein's undefined quantity of "time" to be motion through higher physical dimensions.
If you want a book that will challenge you, this is it. One day these ideas are going to shake the very foundations of mainstream science, of mankind's collective view of "reality"....

Summary: Excellent reading for higher dimensional truths
Comment: P.D. Ouspensky lucidly and along definite philosophical reasonings guides the reader from our 3-dimensional world to higher dimensional realities. As humans we perceive the "World" not as it is, but rather as our perceptive faculties communicate it to us. Therein lies the difficulty of comprehending higher orders (our own hard wiring). Ouspensky's greatness is his ability to elucidate higher truths by straightforward analogy and reasoning. The author marries the ideas and teachings of many great thinkers into one multifaceted format. Mystical teachings are explained from a scientific slant and revolutionary scientific Ideas lead to a mystical end. The ultimate aim is to lead the reader to the ultimate truth of "THOU ART THAT" or "I AM".
