The Work

This guide of the Work is published on the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky, GI Gurdjieff and Dr. Maurice Nicoll. They provide a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff’s teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky’s and then later Dr Nicoll assembled these teachings into a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Work describes a new way of living. Illustrating a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life, as distinct from traditional ways that call for retirement into seclusion.
