"Most people know little or nothing about Sufism, and what they may have heard about it here and there is likely to be erroneous. In THE WAY OF THE SUFI, Idries Shah does an excellent job of cutting straight to the chase to give the reader an uncloude"

"A thought provoking book, that offers some first steps to wisdom. It begins to both outline and apply some of the breadth of methods used by Sufis to engender higher states of mind – the verbalised materials ‘intended to establish in the mind not a b"

of
The Way of the Psychonaut: Encyclopedia for Inner Journeys (Vol #1):
|
|
“[N]othing short of super-extraordinary measures must be taken to ensure that we make it through this interregnum and ensure our survival and that of the natural world we inhabit. [From Preface]”
H.M. Forester |

“Some want to turn the clock back, harkening back to some golden age of nostalgia, when women, children, the lower class, parishioners, and people of other races and creeds knew their place; not back to the 1950s, but further back: to Dickensian times and to (corporate) feudal fiefdom. They want to wind the clock back to a time before the hard-won battles for civil rights, social reforms, and worker representation. A time long, long before the “woke virus”, “illegal immigrants”, and gender identity, when life was more conservative and white lives mattered; though with a new, fundamentalist, Christian nationalist (or Islamist, or ultra-Zionist, or even atheist) and isolationist twist. And some will go to any lengths – and I do mean any desperate, violent, draconian lengths – to bring this vile and unholy vision about. [From Preface]”

“There was a great joke that was forever doing the rounds in the jail and it was probably funny not because it had a humorous punchline but because it was so very true at a deep psychological level. Put anyone in that jail and soon enough they'd actually become a cruel, twisted, sadistic and heartless thug. And some of the prisoners were just as bad.”
