Nicoll, a student of both Jung and Gurdjieff, claims to take a psychological approach to interpreting the New Testament. Most would probably label it esoteric rather than psychological. There are a number of intriguing observations, although Nicoll's style and excess verbiage can be a barrier. He sometimes comes up with a fairly standard interpretation, e.g. the letter of the law (which Nicoll calls Truth) vs. compassion and mercy (called Good), although by a different and circuitous route. show more Nicoll usually calls the Law of the Pentateuch "Truth," whereas I would go with a more Gurdjieffian interpretation of a failed experiment in living consciously. While there is much that needs to be read symbolically or allegorically in the NT, Nicoll tends to go overboard. Sometimes a cigar is indeed only a cigar. show less
I will not recommend this book to anyone who is not familiar with what it is about. This is not foundational. It requires not one, but a set of pre-requisites from various streams.
It took me 5 months to complete this mammoth!

LA FLECHA EN EL BLANCO

La transformación del hombre es el blanco a que se dirigen las
palabras de los grandes maestros que en el mundo han sido.

Los dichos y hechos de Jesús tienen un sentido y propósito que
se dirigen a la mente superior del hombre, esa que ha de sacarlo
del nivel sensorial y emocional para llevarlo a la siguiente
etapa evolutiva.

El Dr. Nicoll, figura prominente de la escuela de psicología
trascendental del Cuarto Camino, nos lleva a través de las parábolas
y los show more prodigios de Jesucristo para mostrarnos cómo su intención
final es acelerar el camino de su posible, necesaria evolución.

Con detalle, profundidad y amenidad se muestra cómo los personajes
y las ideas del Evangelio son claves simbólicas de todos los aspectos
que el hombre debe analizar y transformar en su vida y en su ser
interno para usarlos como una flecha que aguzada y poderosa alcance
e ilumine el blanco de su crecimiento en todos los planos de la existencia.

Este libro nos lleva por cada uno de los episodios del drama cristiano de
manera que nuestra comprensión interior inicie el esfuerzo de transformación
y abarquemos las muchas interpretaciones que enriquecen la enseñanza de
un maestro universal e intemporal.
