Master Disaster: The Inner Lives of Gurdjieff, Meher Baba, Idries Shah and Omar Ali-Shah

The definitive study of Gurdjieff, Meher Baba, Idries Shah and Omar Ali-Shah, with background studies of Crowley, Nietzsche, Upasni Maharaj, Kant, Schopenhauer, Swedenborg, Bennett, Ouspensky, Collin, Orage, Shivapuri Baba and Offidani. Unique in that it analyzes its subjects from a realized and psychic perspective: these are not speculative biographies. Their occult interventions, secret agendas and psychic techniques are finally laid bare for the world to see, as are their own personal spiritual struggles, mistakes and limitations. For three of the four main subjects, their secret transmission indicators are published here for the first time. Mastership itself is called into question, and the scale of their activities is shown to be excessive and full of folly. Extensive proofs backed up by experiential accounts are given. With an experiential summary of Daoism, an essay on spiritual transmission, and a unique study of the occult forces at work behind the Jack the Ripper murders.
