When Maurice Nicholl was studying in Zurich, he met Jung, and
Ouspensky. He went on to study with Gurdjieff, and from 1931 to his death in
1953, he began at Ouspensky's request, a programme of work devoted to passing
on the ideas he had received. Reissued in hard cover, these five unedited
commentaries are taken from the weekly lectures and talks Nicoll gave to his
students in England and which were recorded verbatim; the sixth volume is an
index produced by the Gurdjieff society Washington DC. These differ from
Nicholl's more polished works - they are more concerned with directly applying
certain deep ideas to daily life.
