Book Reviews of Conscience: The Search for Truth (Arkana)
Book Review: for Work students this book is a near must-have
Summary: 5 Stars
If you already have Ouspensky's main work books this book, Conscience, is still worth acquiring. It covers the same subjects yet does it in a slightly different way. I actually found Conscience to be more helpful when I was first learning the work than some of the larger books. There are 5 chapters:
1. Memory (Memory, Self-Remembering, Recurrence)
2. Surface Personality (A Study of Imaginary Man)
3. Self-Will (On Controlling Self-Will for Growth of Real Will)
4. Negative Emotions (no subtitle)
5. Notes on Work (no subtitle)
Each was originally a separately published essay. It's a helpful presentation because it's intentionally designed to focused in a more concentrated way on each of the central work subjects presented (as opposed to the content of, say, the Fourth Way). My copy gave me alot in my initial study (and doing) of the work ideas, practices, and goals...
Summary of Conscience: The Search for Truth (Arkana)
The five works in this collection are an introduction for the lay reader, to the insights of the Russian thinker, P.D. Ouspensky. "Memory" teaches the reader how to attain "true self-consciousness" and appreciation of being alive. "Surface Personality" bids the reader to shed such superficialities and acquire a centre of gravity instead. "Self-Will", usually a recipe for disaster, is best replaced by mindfulness and responsibility. "Negative Emotions" can be destroyed, first by limiting them and then by getting to their roots. "Notes on Work" warns the reader of the commitment and self-discipline needed if one earnestly desires to change one's life.Occult Books
