“McGilchrist contends that in pre-Socratic Greece, during the Renaissance, and throughout the Romantic movement of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the two hemispheres reached a brilliant accord, each augmenting the other’s contribution. Through their creative opposition (as William Blake said, “Opposition is True Friendship”…. i liked this a lot.. and will get the book…

Hello Gordon, Many thanks for your comments. If I can write anything half as good as Colin’s books, I’ll be very happy. His work has influenced me enormously, which is no surprise to anyone who knows his books and mine. I haven’t had a chance to read Tobias Churton’s Crowley bio, but reports are that it is good. It is on my list. Thanks again and keep in touch. Best, Gary

Hi Gary,
have read about half your books and have enjoyed them all. Minor criticisms here and there, but nothing to get excited about. Looking forward to the Hermes, Swedenborg and Blavatsky titles. Thought, a touch cynically, a few years back, you were the new Colin Wilson, and now I know for sure you are, quite sincerely I might add.
Any thoughts on the new Crowley bio by Tobias Churton? Just curious.
Do keep up the good work sir, your well researched and bullshit-free assessments are much appreciated.

cheers, gordon phinn

I’ll drop her a line, thanks. If you’re ever bored enough, this is probably the best thing I ever wrote. Best thing that got published, anyway:

Good luck on the move and do keep in touch. If you come across any publishers who might be interested in translating my work into Danish – it’s in Norwegian, German, and some other northern languages already – let me know! All the best, Gary

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply. I’m moving there from the UK in a few days time. I have already made several visits and will continue to gradually explore the culture and contemporary thinking of the land of Niels Bohr and Hans Christian Andersen. Denmark definitely punches above it’s weight internationally and like many small successful nations competes through concentrating on quality rather than quantity. I would expect that to be the case within the areas of consciousness and culture too.
I’ll keep my eyes and ears open and hope to provide you with some fruitful contact in due course.
Best wishes, John

I’d love to give a talk in Copenhagen, but unfortunately no one’s asked me to. Any suggestions? All the best, Gary
