Blurring the boundaries between reporting, allegory and fantasy, Will describes his early search for spiritual wisdom, his unexpected encounter with a Indian fakir, and how the task given to him by the mysterious Indian led to meetings with an array of amazing people in his quest to uncover the truth he sought. These encounters included an early awakening from a gay Buddhist, initiation into a Celtic magic circle, being opened to esoteric truths by a follower of Subud and a Sufi initiate, seeing the world as taught by a Shaman, an apprenticeship in practical Kabbalah, and an apparently chance meeting with a General who supplied the final key.
