Much love to you dear brother. Can't express how grateful I feel for showing us this and have us experience and take part in the joy that you obviously were sending forth. Highly curious and eagerly waiting for the video from Mr.Ouspensky's residence as you've mentioned. Many thanks indeed once again for sharing that you do. Good luck. Cheers!

Much love to you , too. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to get to Ouspensky's residence where he gave his meetings from. It's only round the corner from me. There is still a fourth way group there , established by Ouspensky's pupil , Francis Roles. I'll interview a few of them The work is my strength and song , and it has become my salvation.

You're more than welcome. It was a joy to share it. Thank you for watching. Have a great day. And , when you're next in London, I think I know where you'll be going 😉 Cecil Court and its magical stores don't see many people. Perhaps that's why it's magical. Just like the fourth way , and most other things

Kindle from old norse. Meaning candle or torch 🔦 🕯 to start ( a fire ) burning. To ignite interest and enthusiasm. The centenary fragments are amazing. I'm a great admirer of Beryl Pogson's. She has written a number of work books. She was Maurice Nicoll's secretary for fourteen years.

Hi again Noel. Btw I collected stamps for years. I would love to have Andersen's Fairy Tales and The Brothers Grimm fairy tale collections I had as a kid...I bet they have them there. I also need that Ouspensky book you show there, lol. That is a very big 4th way section. First picture I've seen of the Mullah Nasr Eddin....wonderful collection they have!
@hermesnoelthefourthway Жыл бұрын
It's amazing. That drawing of Mullah Nasr Eddin was done by pupils working with Beryl Pogson at the dicker. My favorite book was the centenary anthology by Beryl Pogson. Some truly extraordinary pieces in there from artists (painters and writers) she knew over the years. Also, A record of meetings, and A further record by Ouspensky cannot be recommended strongly enough. A bit of a miracle there. Especially the record of his last six months of meetings before permanently moving to Lyne Place. One simply must be directly connected to source. And this is source of the highest calibre. Such a shame about k.... You know who. In the Alice through the looking glass store they would definitely have editions of The brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales. Probably first edition also. A veritable cornucopia for the mind and soul is Cecil Court. When you come to london to see me, you can take me to the Ritz for dinner. The blinis and foie gras are on meeeeeeeee. And we'll then toddle off to Cecil Court. Sounds good to me. The Ritz. Now there's another story. Another tour. Rodney Collin lived right next door to it in St. James Street. And just off St. James Street you have the largest American hotel in London. Place called Dukes. Owned by Americans. And most of their guests are American. Beautiful hotel.

Great tour, I always visit when I am in London. Nice to see the shop has survived. Thanks for an interesting channel. I have recently revived my interest in the fourth way, and have been able to self observe and understand what I am seeing. It always went over my head before... Greetings!
@hermesnoelthefourthway Жыл бұрын
Thank you , Peter. Yes. Watkins has been home from home for many years. And we are all glad that it has survived. It was pulled from the brink of collapse in the late 1990s by two american businessmen. There always seems to be a "right time" when one comes into the work and sees wonderful things in it. And the truth of it. I have found that this "time" is completely outside of our control. That the fourth way selects people who it knows will benefit the work and influence C. That's been my experience over the last few decades. Especially when I met Gurdjieff's nephew a few years back , just at the time I was determined to leave the work behind. That was an experience , if ever I've had one. I will put the link to the video here , just in case you haven't seen it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9OKgteA057FiWw.html All the best , now. Noel

Hi Russ , You weren't shown the right places when you came to London. If one is on the tourist trail , it is hideous and gross. But if you wander off onto the London roads less travelled , it is truly delightful. Like all things in life. I really enjoyed making this video. There is a magic energy in it 📚🪄

Many Thanks Noel as always the guide in London !!! I am particularly interested in Jung's book " Il libro rosso - liber novus "....a journey inside the soul... you did't get thirsty after so much talk ? how about a glass of good one... Ciaooo

Leonida , Great to hear from you. As always , your taste is impeccable, of the finest . Yes. Jung's "il libro rosso-liber novus " is sublime. I haven't read it yet. But I really want to. And that particular edition they have in Watkins is really something else. Although at the moment I may be a bit too Jung for it. Not mature enough , like a fine gorgonzola 😳 😂 although come to think of it , wasn't Gorgonzola a French novelist ? 🤔 As soon as the camera stopped running I went to the highly praised Italian Restaurant Il Cucciolo in Old Compton Street in Soho (just round the corner from watkins ) and had some cheese and prosciutto cotto tortellini with a bottle of Chianti. I then slipped round to Bar Italia (very famous cafe in Soho ) for a few bottles of Birra Moretti's , before heading off to a gentleman's club in Piccadilly. Where lots of women were dancing around waving huge ostrich feathers 🪶 💃 🤔 I was eventually carried home on a stretcher , raving about Jung's liber novus and a place called watkins. Someone placed an ice pack on my forehead and i passed out🧊 👀 the rest is a blur. "When a man is sick of London , he is sick of life , for there is in London all that life can afford." Dottore Johnson. No relation to Boris , as far as I know. We must go on a little tour of London together one day. Seriously. We'd paint the town red!! Buon anno , Leonida 🎉🎈🎊🥞🍾🥂 Ps , I meant to go in the National Gallery but never got round to it. Shame . Michaelangelo and his Manchester Madonna will have to wait . Considering it's only a cartoon it's quite pricey !! And , a cartoon with a few pieces missing !! Bleedin rip off

Nice combo. Very nice. Celtic and Anglo-Saxon. That little alleyway , Cecil Court , is like going thru a portal into a truly magical world , where anything can happen and usually does. It's always been like that. London is also a deeply magical place. Well , certain parts of it. You know what I mean. The name London is taken from the roman "Londinium" and translates as "at the temple of ISIS. Cool 😎 That bookstore , Watkins , is mind-blowing. The sheer amount of books they have of an esoteric nature. And there's a second hand section at the back , where you have no idea what you'll find. But it's usually very magical and a one off. Many leading lights of the fourth way , such as Sophia Wellbeloved , have given talks there over the years. Maurice Nicoll even gave a few talks there in the late 1940s when it was owned by two men involved in the work. If you haven't heard of Sophia Wellbeloved , do check her out. Her work is superb. Her major book is called Gurdjieff , the key concepts
