The Work is about applying what you know to your daily activies, rather than simply theorizing about abstract ideas of life. The author lived liver "the work life" and studied with Maurice Nicoll for almost two decades, beginning to teach a group at his request in 1955. The group had recidential meetings at Dorton House, and it was there that people had a change to experiment with what they learned. A level of community developed: group projects included painting a mural, building a summer house, and making a glass mosaic of the zodiac - all activities designed to bring out various talents in the group. It was a great opportunity for learning! This record of 'the Work' has been published to help modern students understand how the teachings of Gurdjieff, Nicoll and Ouspensky can be actualized.
