Many people think moonshining takes place primarily in mountainous regions, but Bobby Watkins' thirty-five-year career as a Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agent shows that the illegal business of distilling liquor is Not Necessarily in Them Thar Hills. Each story has factual information, characters long remembered, and slight embellishment as he has spent decades retelling them over and over. And so his story begins.

Maurice Nicoll (1884-1953) was a British psychiatrist and noted Fourth Way teacher. He is best known for his Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, a multi-volume collection of talks he gave to his study groups. Nicoll was born at the Manse in Kelso, Scotland, the son of William Robertson Nicoll, a minister of the Free Church of Scotland. He studied science at Cambridge before going on to St. Bartholomew's Hospital and then to Vienna, Berlin and Zurich where he became a colleague of Carl Gustav Jung. Jung's psychological revelations and his own work with Jung during this period left a lasting influence on Nicoll as a young man.After his Army Medical Service in the 1914 War, in Gallipoli and Mesopotamia, he returned to England to become a psychiatrist. In 1921 he met Petr Demianovich Ouspensky, a student of G. I. Gurdjieff and he also became a pupil of Gurdjieff in the following year. In 1923 when Gurdjieff closed down his institute, Nicoll joined P.D. Ouspensky's group. In 1931 he followed Ouspensky's advice and started his own study groups in England. This was done through a program of work devoted to passing on the ideas that Nicoll had gathered and passing them on through his talks given weekly to his own study groups.Many of these talks were recorded verbatim and documented in a six-volume series of texts compiled in his books Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.Though Nicoll advocated the theories of the Fourth Way he also maintained interests in essential Christian teachings, in Neoplatonism and in dream interpretation until the end of his life

Sholto Douglas, James

A PHILOSOPHY OF DELIGHT -- We have of necessity to use our wits in contending with the conditions of our existence, but we may be intuitively aware that this is only a fragmentary interpretation of a reality about which our ordinary attitudes remain ignorant. It may then become possible, amidst the other activities of everyday life, to cultivate a practical awareness of this much deeper reality. The author was an electronic engineer who for many years ran his own business making electronic equipment, and later in life turned his attention to philosophical matters. He is the author of several textbooks, in addition to such works as 'The Diary of a Modern Alchemist', 'The Age of Miracles' and 'God Beyond Time'.
