   Ahl-i-Haqq: The People of Truth
   
   | 
  
    
   Gurdjieff's writings reveal possible links to the Ahl-i-Haqq, The People 
      of Truth, a Shiite sect living in southern Kurdistan. J.G. Bennett believed 
      that this brotherhood was "in possession of technical knowledge of a very 
      special kind."

   Computers will achieve the capacity of the human brain by about 2020. 
      Computers, what computer pioneer Ray Kurzweil calls "non-biological entities," 
      will not only exceed human intelligence but become conscious.

   Why the massacre? Is it the parent's fault? Or the peers? Or, as Freud 
      suggests, has our society become neurotic? Do Ouspensky's and Gurdjieff's 
      insights apply?

   Book Review:
 The Occult in Russian & Soviet Culture Edited by Bernice Glatzer Rosentha
   
   | 
  
    
   Fifteen far-ranging essays show the effect of the occult on the Russia 
      of the Tsars, Lenin, Stalin and even into today. Aspects of the satanic 
      and demonic from those days seem very much in accord with our own "Goth culture."
