The whole Work is to prepare one for the reception of higher, subtler influences. Its knowledge must become one's own knowledge, if you want the Work results. One must study and make efforts for a long time, and think with the most genuine parts of oneself. Then one may become aware of being in contact internally with these ideas.
-- Maurice Nicoll, from Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, Vol. 2
