"Maps of Consciousness. I Ching, Tantra, Tarot, Alchemy, Astrology, Actualism" by Ralph Metzner

"Metzner was a friend of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass (Richard Alpert); they all wrote of the "psychedelic experience." Those experiences helped define the essence of this book, further exploring yoga, Gurdjieff's self-observation, Reichian bioenergetics, Gestalt therapy, psychosynthesis, Buckminster Fuller, Teilhard de Chardin, Hermann Hesse, Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung, Lama Govinda, Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, Frank Herbert, Joan Grant, and the incomparable I Ching."
