An essay in autobiography
Written and narrated by J. M. Cohen
Some months aKO Mr. Cohen broadcast an account of his experiences of the Work '-a system of ideas propounded by Gourdiieff and Ouspensky. He was then in early middle-age. In this programme he looks back to his childhood, his years at Cambridge.'- and brings up to the present his search for a system. intellectual and spiritual, which satisfies his individual needs as he recognises them. He sees his life, he says, not as a continuing development but as a spiral-progressing but repeatedly turning on itself.
