The Three Dangerous Magi: Osho, Gurdjieff, Crowley

[Zed]

Qualcuno di voi ha acquistato questo libro di Mistlberger? Io ancora no....ma sarei curioso di leggere qualche recensione. Purtroppo non mi risultano versioni in lingua italiana, almeno per adesso. :giagia:



Descrizione
The Most Dangerous man since Jesus Christ, the Sex Guru, the Ambassador from Hell, the Black Devil of Ashkhabad, The King of Depravity, and the Wickedest Man in the World. These were some of the labels given to three of the most notorious figures of 20th century spirituality: Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), G.I. Gurdjieff, and Aleister Crowley. Beneath the controversies and scandals that swirled around all three the author argues that these men, egocentric tendencies notwithstanding, were brilliant thinkers and extraordinary masters of their craft, that of the science of inner transformation, and in particular the art of balancing the so called Left and Right Hand spiritual paths.

Boleskine House - Jimmy Page

Beh... a parte Boleskine House, Jimmy Page acquistò anche le finestre dipinte da Crowley nell'Abbazia di Thelema a Cefalù.

E' pur sempre un punto focale di energie magiche.

Thus, the location of Boleskine House is to be the Omphalos or Center of Power for Thelema, and is to continue as such for the duration of the Aeon of Horus, regardless of the physical presence of the Stèle or of the house itself. Thus, O.T.O. Lodges, Profess-Houses and Gnostic Mass Temples are ideally to be oriented towards Boleskine.
