The 12 Lectures of the Work

It's occured to me that if you wanted a concise, well-forumulated source of all the Work it exists in Ouspensky's 6 lectures contained in the Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution and the 6 lectures contained in the Cosmology of Man's Possible Evolution. 12 concise, though concentrated, lectures that can be more easily studied and mastered.

Of course the 6 lectures in the Cosmology of Man's Possible Evolution are material taken from In Search of the Miraculous, but there is a benefit of getting away from the narrative form of ISOTM and all the extracurricular matter (valuable as it may be in it's own way) and just get the concentrated teaching on the cosmological side of the Work.

Just having that number '12' before you is valuable. 12 basic lectures. Or 'books'. 12 basic units to read and study and put to memory and DO. I'm finding that in POMPE Ouspensky gives valuable definitions (of things like the state of Objective Consciousness) that one will pass over when first reading the book because you don't yet have the background to value it. It's really a goldmine of a Work book. It can be taken for granted since it's usually the first Work book we all read when we first come to the Work. Then we concentrate on the bigger books.
