A new book by Colin Wilson is always news. A religious mysticism may now be seen at the core of all his work : Sri Ramakrishna is one of the key figures in The Outsider and his Religion and the Rebel contains a whole series of studies of mystics. In the present book, Colin Wilson has developed an argument which runs counter to the most popular trends in occult thinking today^ to the extent that some might even call it “non-Zen” . Finding that mystical experience and poetic inspiration can be “pursued scientifically” and learned as one learns a foreign language, he has small enthusiasm for psyche­ delics and “non-thought” methods of arriving at the expansion of consciousness, showing him self to be much closer to William James’ Varieties of Religious Experience than to Alan Watts or D. T. Suzuki.
