Life in a Psychedelic Church: Memories and Musings - Paperback

by Jack Call (Author)

A mild mannered philosopher becomes a disciple of the man Timothy Leary called "the mad monk of Millbrook," and things get very interesting very fast. Life as a follower of Art Kleps, the Chief Boo Hoo of the Neo-American Church could be entertaining, maddening, puzzling, or a combination of all three. Life is a dream, Art said. But what does that mean? And is it true? Jack Call, who plays Sancho Panza to Art Kleps's Don Quixote, tries to answer those questions, but only after telling the reader in entertaining and ironic detail what life was like as an active member of the Neo-American Church from 1972 to 1978, including the surprising story of what happened after Art had secured 180 acres of prime marijuana-growing land in Northern California, in order to establish a self-sustaining showcase of a psychedelic residence/amusement park called Mandalit. If you enjoyed Netflix's "Wild, Wild Country," or H.H. Price's Essays in the Philosophy of Religion, then you'll love Jack Call's picaresque and thoughtful Life in a Psychedelic Church.
