Becoming Gary Lachman with Gary Lachman
Gary Lachman is the author of The Return of Holy Russia: Apocalyptic History, Mystical Awakening, and the Struggle for the Soul of the World as well as over twenty other books about the influence of esotericism on politics and society. He has written biographies of Carl Jung, Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Emanuel Swedenborg, P. D. Ouspensky, and Colin Wilson.
Gary Lachman speaks about his extraordinary journey from the rock stages of Blondie to becoming one of the leading cultural historians of Western esotericism. Gary discusses the formative influences that shaped his inner life—from comic books and counterculture to his encounters with Rudolf Steiner, Colin Wilson, and the transformative power of consciousness. Lachman explores how creative evolution and spiritual seeking converge in a lifetime devoted to understanding the deeper dimensions of mind and meaning.
