According to the Johannine tradition referred to by Clement of Alexandria, it was believed that “Christ imparted the truth to James the Just, to John and Peter, after His resurrection”. These three disciples were said to share the threefold task of continuing His work – it was said that James the Just, as Bishop of Jerusalem, carried on traditional Christianity, Peter was the organiser and ruled the Church, and John was said to have understood and preserved the spirit of the Teaching. They formed the Triad, which springs from and is closest to the One. There was a similar Triad in the Hermetic tradition in which three disciples of Hermes Trismegistus, Asclepius, Ammon and Tat, represented knowledge, power and love.The Johannine tradition also says that the secret spiritual teaching received by John from Christ was handed down orally and survives to this day. Hints of this teaching are found in the Fourth Gospel, the First Epistle of St.John and in a cypher in the Revelation of St.John.Beryl Pogson (1895-1967) was a pupil of Dr. Maurice Nicoll for nineteen years and his secretary for fourteen years. Many of her writings have been published only privately for the benefit of her students and groups. Now for the first time much of her Teaching has been republished and is now more widely known. She often made connections between The Work and sacred books, literature, plays and poetry as will be seen in these books. Her Work teaching was based on The Psychological Commentaries on the Teachings of G.I.Gurdjieff and P.D.Ouspensky by Maurice Nicoll, and of course, on G.I.Gurdjieff’s and P.D.Ouspensky’s own writings.
