Stein and Day
Description
A classic of radical literature, this revolutionary study has challenged conventional knowledge and assumptions for decades, offering unique perspectives on everything from alchemy, politics, history, and supernatural phenomena to magic, Nazi occultism, and mankind's place in the universe. Drawing from the work of Charles Fort and Carl Jung, among others, the authors explore the importance of history and its varied perceptions and propose new ways of interpreting reality. Through these visionary ideals, they assert that mankind can ultimately achieve cosmic interconnectedness.

ideas which permeated it. The rest of the book concerning lost civilizations and mutations is something for me to think about later and didn't leave a strong impression on me at the time of reading. The only problem I have is the lack of bibliography although they do name some sources within the work there is much that is surely not there. Show Less
