I’ll be on Coast to Coast Radio in the wee hours of Tuesday, December 8, talking about my new book The Secret Teachers of the Western World. The book is released that day and everyone awake at 3:00 AM will hear about it. Give a listen if the insomnia keeps you up…

Hi Gary,
I was just listening to your Coast guest appearance today. I like your work. On the show, at some point, it got a little confusing.
As you know, there is a big difference between people who may do some esoteric reading and then becomes leaders of various groups or whatever, versus the actual esoteric teachers.
Esoteric readers may not at all turn out to be esoteric teachers. For example, Hitler and those in his office. And others.
My unasked advice, is for you, as a guest, to make a clear distinction between the teachers and the readers who take the material elsewhere, so to speak.
To that end, I would also suggest although not asked, so please forgive my trespass, that, as a guest, you speak of what all these esoteric teachings have in common.
This would make it clear that many alleged esoteric readers, are certainly not esoteric teachers.
It would also make clear how readers who become harmful leaders do not espouse much in common with the actual “principles” that esoteric teachers share; but rather they stray in significant ways so that they can’t be considered esoteric teachers themselves.
They would fall into the category of esoteric readers who misunderstand or twist the inner wisdom to their own selfish and violent and/or harmful ends
