Mexico: Ediciones Euroamericanas, Euram, (1979). Illustrated with many black and white photos and some. First edition. 8vo, 9-5/16" x 6-1/2" Fine / Fine dust jacket.
This study is a preparation to incorporate into scientific knowledge part of that unknown and mysterious land which now shows us only its highest peaks - Clairvoyance, Telepathy, E.S.P., and a few unclassified aspects of the drug experience - floating above the mist and ground fog, their exact dimensions occult in the purple haze. The value of each extension of the frontiers of knowledge is comparable to that of the discovery of a new continent to explore, conquer and cultivate. If we find that the mystery, beauty and romance of the Unknown have vanished, we need not weep for them: We will again find these Gypsies camped beyond the next range of hills . . . if we are young and adventurous enough to follow them.
