PSYCHOLOGICAL COMMENTARIES on the teaching of GURDJIEFF & OUSPENSKY
Maurice NIcoll

This 6 volume (special index included) encyclopedic set contains hundreds of brief, sharply focused, penetrating essays and commentaries on a wide range of specific topics connected with the practice of the teaching presented by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.

The first two volumes contain letters written to guide the author’s groups when personal visits were interrupted by war conditions in Britain. Maurice Nicoll continued the practice of writing these essays to groups until his death in 1953.

"They will remain the standard work on the subject as long as these ideas are of interest to mankind." - Kenneth Walker

About the index

This index for the commentaries was privately published in 1964 by a Beryl Pogson - Nicoll workgroup. This is not the usual Index of words - this Index is of Ideas and shows their inter-relation through the many different angles of view that Nicoll gave.

A customer reviewed the index and wrote: "In comparing these indexes with the Weiser index, I find for me greater substance to them in content and thought of grouping. These Indexes represent greater proximity to the text and proximity for the reader who is studying the Work."
