註釋"A perspective observer of American culture, Dr. Cooper writs to make the world of the occult better known to people live outside it, and better understood to those within. He takes a look at such cults as those surrounding Bishop Pike, Charles Manson, and the movie Rosemary's Baby—and draws an intriguing connection between politics and mysticism, between sex and witchcraft, between escapism and involvement. Astrology, LSD, and séances represent more than passing fads, says Dr. Cooper. Widespread enthusiasm for the occult and drugs is symptomatic of an anxiety in this time of radical world transition and indicative of search for identity and meaning. IN spite of Balck Masses and cults of Satan, which Dr. Cooper regards as destructive, psychotic forces in modern life, he sees a significance in today's movement that transcends that of the scientific-technological revolution. Concluding that organized religion is failing to meet the basic needs of many people, Dr. Cooper projects a revival of mystery in the religion of the future. Whether you practice occultism, read horoscopes occasionally, or scoff at superstition, this book will expand your awareness of the complexity of the religion emerging in the Age of Aquarius."-Publisher.
