So who is Aeolus Kephas anyway?
Great cover! That's the first thing you notice. The content is a well researched romp through a choice selection of the more aberrant and outré aspects of 20th century human behaviour, from the JFK affair, through Charles Manson, alien abduction and Jonestown to the stranger spinoffs of the Twin Towers event......
All these subjects and many more are seen through the filter of the "paranoid cosmic viewpoint" though it's hard sometimes to tell whether Aeolus Kephas (Aeolus was the Greek god of wind) is expressing his own view, of `reality' or whether he is just amusing himself and his audience by viewing the universe through this particular glass, more or less darkly.

The various `magical worldviews' which were influential in the 20th century, (Hitler, Crowley, Gurdjieff and others) are examined in the context of the historical philosophy of Gnosticism, but the author divides his research into 8 areas, taking us through an examination of `archetypes', through what he calls `Illuminoids', and `Assassins' which is well researched on the Twin Towers and Charles Manson, to a reappraisal of history of the `alien encounter' literature.

There is a surprising amount of new material here, and it's written as if by a cross between the thinking mans Von Daniken, and a latter day Colin Wilson, (but with strong Gnostic leanings.)

Probably a future classic of the genre?

Not for New Agers
This book has a refreshing ability to refrain from judgment regarding its outlandish subject matter, being less interested in questioning (or proving) the veracity of occult/ufo/conspiracy beliefs than in whence they come and why, what they say about the collective consciousness of humanity in these current times of insecurity and paranoia. Perhaps this is why some readers are unable to appreciate this book? If they are looking for something to buoy up their flagging belief systems and support their flaccid "new age" worldviews, then this isn't it. Lucid View is the very antithesis of New Age fluff (though it does offer self-empowerment as the reward of paranoia): rather than downplay the darkness in order to provide comfort and solace in flimsy simulations of light, it is unafraid to plumb the depths of shadow, in order to test, prove, and fully engage that spark of light called "reason." Like Morning of the Magicians in its time, The Lucid View offers an overview that no other book I know of seems to offer at this time. A Masterpiece of creative research, and one of its kind.
