A Child’s Guide to Altered States of Consciousness
Eugene J. Gold
Eugene J. Gold
First edition 1974
A self-published sendup of children’s literature by Fourth Way and Human Potential Movement-affiliated artist and writer E. J. Gold. In a series of disarming and at times moving prose poems accompanied by equally strange illustrations by Lin Larsen, the author conveys a series of Gurdjieffian ideas about “adult” society and the flimsy, illusory nature of its self-imposed limitations.
