The Three Dangerous Magi

This book, The Three Dangerous Magi - Osho, Gurdjieff, Crowley, examines the lives, teachings, and influence of three of the most controversial, important, and interesting 'crazy wisdom' teachers of the 20th century.

Back cover:

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, G.I. Gurdjieff, and Aleister Crowley.

Yet 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.

Editor:

For what I can see, an unusually relevant, well informed, and balanced book. Also, e.g., about the Ranch-period.
