About the book
About The Blue Germ by Martin Swayne, Fiction, Literary, Fantasy
Martin Swayne was a pen name used by British psychiatrist and noted Fourth Way teacher Maurice Nicoll. It's an engaging book -- and a little silly, too, as it begins with a rural British doctor getting a marvelous revelation as he trips over his black cat, then making an abrupt visit to Russia. Silly, and quite delightful -- and nothing at all one would expect from the author of the six-volume Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, or Dream Psychology, Living Time and the Integration of the Life, The Mark, The New Man: An Interpretation of Some Parables and Miracles of Christ, or Informal Work Talks and Teachings . . . But there's a brightness, here, something that tells a strange and engaging tale with something deeper hiding in the silliness.
