masterpiece

This is a rare book that keeps on giving. I have read it about 5 times already and each time new insights and understandings emerge. This book is primarily about the higher dimensions beyond the normal three-dimensional world perceived by our senses. In our everyday experience, the fourth dimension of time enters our consciousness but in a very limited way. 'Living Time' explores the greater breadth and meaning of this fourth dimension and delves into the fifth and sixth dimension of space-time. The primary sources of this book include some of the highest thinkers in the history of human thought both known and unknown. Nicoll himself presents his keen insights and does so in a writing style that is of very high literary quality. Many wonderful visual metaphors are given to assist the reader in understanding concepts dealing with the higher-dimensional world. If you are like me and have never come across any viable and reasonable explanation of reincarnation, you may finally find it here in 'Living Time.' If you are deeply interested in philosophy, psychology and religion, this book is indeed important and of value.

nicoll on cosmos

I don't like Nicoll's Platonism, but I forgive it in light of the brilliance of his exposition and even occasional expansion of Ouspensky's theory of time. As a primarily cosmological work, it is much deeper than Nicoll's better-known Psychological Commentaries. If you like New Model of the Universe and O's other works, you'll like this.
