NORTHERN PAKISTAN, April 15, 1961: "One can almost say that
someday the corrupt government in Afghanistan will be overthrown
and we shall have another Czechozlovakia or Viet Minh. I hope
you take this seriously. I am tired of predicting the mobbing
of USIA libraries only to find it happening--or in the last instance
to see it happening." (S.L.L.)
Political and religious turmoil in faraway lands ... Organic
agriculture and seed exchange for peace ... The great mystics
and sages of the 20th century...
All play a part in this story of an American scholar and scientist's
search for truth.

Reviews:
"I have no fonder memory of the 60's than the appearance
of this strange-looking man, who said things which made me first
laugh, then smile, then later pause in appreciation of a spiritual
original, a pioneer."
--Dr. Jacob Needleman, author of The
New Religions and Lost Christianity
"The Dances of Universal Peace ... came to stay, and so does
the indelible memory of their pioneer, veteran in the art of carrying
the experience of the meditation on the Divine attributes right into
the body."
--Hazrat Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
"Everytime I remember Sam, I end up laughing at myself. That's
pretty good work for a dead-rascal-saint."
--Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now
"By being spiritual, Samuel Lewis expanded the range of being
human; and by being human he deepened the meaning of being spiritual."
--Hazrat Pir Moineddin Jablonski, Spiritual
successor of Murshid Samuel Lewis
