Dr Evans did consultation work for a favorite TV show from childhood, "The Tomorrow People". I has be looking for this books for several years before finding it in the Monkey's Paw in Toronto. He examines UFO cults, Scientology and more. A quick informative read. My copy's falling apart, let me know if you are done with yours. ;) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The cult aspect of the book covers Scientology, The Aetherius Society (born of the flying saucer fad), George de la Warr and his black boxes, Ivanovich Gurdjieff and The Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, and Besant and Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society (the origin of Krishnamurti). The book also provides a general overview of books, individuals, and assorted small groups whose views are driven by such things as flying saucers, black boxes, EKG feedback, Orgone accumulators, etc.
I think the book is an acceptable overview of the subject and would be of interest to anyone wishing to gain some understanding of cults whose beginnings can be traced to 1974 or before. ( )
