Initiation and initiative : an exploration of the life and ideas of Dimitrije Mitrinović

200 NOTES

5. Maurice Nicoll, a Harley Street consultant and contemporary of Orage, was allocated to dish-washing for the first three months of his stay at the Chateau and was forbidden to read any books. Gurdjieff maintained that the growth of the individual required the development of all the centres within a person. Hence the rationale for directing intellectuals to manual labour. Residents were also expected to do tasks they disliked without objecting to them, so that they might learn to operate without their efficiency being impaired by emotions. See B. Pogson, Maurice Nicoll, A Portrait, London: Vincent Stuart, 1961, pp. 80-1.
