SELECTIONS FROM MEETINGS 1953: At Amwell House

Nicoll, Dr Maurice

NEW PAPERBACK WITH WRAPPER. This book is a companion to THE NEW MAN. It discusses, in relation to the Gospels, the idea that real religion is about another man, latent but unborn, in every man. The end of this transformation of a man is thought as THE MARK to be aimed at. The author explains that in the Gospels the word translated as 'sin' means in the literal Greek 'missing the mark', as of a spear thrown at some object and failing to hit it. And from meaning to miss the mark it came to mean failing in one's purpose, and so erring or wrong doing. It is Dr Nicoll's contention that when a man is overpowered by outer life and influenced only by all that acts upon him from outside, and argues only from what he can see, he is machine-driven by his senses, and externally, the wrong way around. He is dominated by external life and has no life in himself. That part of him which is truly himself, and from which his own individual existence and growth can begin is lost. It is in the wrong place. And this is sin. That is, in this sense, everyone missed the mark, missed the idea of his own existence.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE PLATO SAYS that to become a spectator of Time is a cure for meanness of soul. We live in a narrow reality, partly conditioned by our form of perception and partly made by opinions that we have borrowed, to which our self- esteem is fastened. We fight for our opinions, not because we believe them but because they involve the ordinary feeling of oneself. Though we are continually being hurt owing to the narrowness of the reality in which we dwell, we blame life, and do not see the necessity of finding absolutely new standpoints. All ideas that have a transforming power change our sense of reality. They act like ferments. (.....) One reason for this is that the soul is turned towards the senses, while ideas are internally perceived as distinct from the inrush of outer things (....) In the following pages a number of quotations, notes, and observations have been brought together that refer in the main to the invisible side of things. How can we begin to understand the 'invisible'? The invisible nature of man and the corresponding invisible side of the world are here dealt with from the standpoint of dimensions (not taken mathematically) and also from the related standpoint of higher levels of consciousness. The question of a new understanding of Time, and of what the life means in the light of this understanding, is discussed. The possibility of a change in the time-sense, with a changed feeling of oneself, enters into this question. The meaning of eternity, about which we have really erroneous notions, comes under consideration, and finally the idea of the recurrence of the life is reviewed. It is necessary to begin with a general approach which takes into review some of our ordinary 'notions of things', as derived from the world that is shown to us by our senses. In this connection some reflections about the visible and invisible side of people must be first made.

LIVING TIME: And The Integration Of The Life

This book comprises a series of Christian Teachings, given over a period of sixteen years, exploring in depth the meanings behind those quotations from the Gospels and Epistles used on Sundays in The Book of Common Prayer. They continue the work of G.I.Gurdjieff, P.D.Ouspensky and Maurice Nicoll, which is known to people familiar with these ideas as ‘The Work’.––“The whole world is in a state of chaos, of people doing what they want, of never listening to their higher. The answer is simple really, just to work on oneself. A simple remedy, one would say, but the most difficult in the world”.

THE NEW MAN: AN INTERPRETATION OF SOME PARABLES AND MIRACLES OF CHRIST

In this age of mass entertainment many people look to the theatre as a means of self-forgetfulness. Yet tradition tell us that the Drama was originally conceived to re-awaken in Man the memory of the purpose for which he was created. It revealed to him in allegory his relationship with the gods and sought to arouse him from the sleep of the senses, so that he might set forth on the journey towards his divine destiny. In this book, Beryl Pogson shows that Shakespeare wrote in the true tradition of drama, using his art consciously with the aim of freeing Man from the illusions that hypnotize and distract him, so that he might have a clearer vision of the path of self- development to which all the great Religions direct him.

History & Criticism

According to the Johannine tradition referred to by Clement of Alexandria, it was believed that "Christ imparted the truth to James the Just, to John and Peter, after His resurrection". These three disciples were said to share the threefold task of continuing His work - it was said that James the Just, as Bishop of Jerusalem, carried on traditional Christianity, Peter was the organiser and ruled the Church, and John was said to have understood and preserved the spirit of the Teaching. They formed the Triad, which springs from and is closest to the One. There was a similar Triad in the Hermetic tradition in which three disciples of Hermes Trismegistus, Asclepius, Ammon and Tat, represented knowledge, power and love. The Johannine tradition also says that tehe secret spiritual teaching received by John from Christ was handed down orally and survives to this day. Hints of this teaching are found in the Fourth Gospel, the First Epistle of St.John and in a cypher in the Revelation of St.John. Beryl Pogson (1895-1967) was a pupil of Dr. Maurice Nicoll for nineteen years and his secretary for fourteen years. Many of her writings have been published only privately for the benefit of her students and groups. Now for the first time much of her Tea

COMMENTARY ON THE 4TH GOSPEL

POGSON, BERYL

“The Lord’s Prayer contains everything. It is the summary of the Gospel, the very essence of all that is most perfect in the moral teaching of Jesus Christ. When He said: ‘Thus shall you pray’, He was in effect saying: ‘You shall regulate your lives according to this prayer’. It contains all the dispositions, which are required of a Christian, both towards God and towards his neighbour. And if the sentiments it expresses are not constantly present in our hearts, we cannot flatter ourselves that we are true Christians.” (Père Jean-Nicholas Grou S.J.) “Most ancient prayers have nothing in common with petitions; they are, as it were, ‘recapitulations’. By repeating them aloud or to himself, a man endeavours to experience what is in them – their content – with his mind and feeling, concentrating and reflecting on the real sense of each word – what it really means to him, how he can understand it. In this way, many ideas will become connected in his thinking and many thoughts relating to the words of the prayer will pass through his mind. And then it is precisely these thoughts which can do for him what he asks God to do.” (G. I. Gurdjieff)
