Key

<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Communion</i> comes the mysterious true story of how an unknown visitor barged into Streiber's hotel room late one night--and imparted extraordinary lessons in personal development and man's fate that challenge us to rethink every assumption about the meaning of life. </b> <p/> At two-thirty in the morning of June 6 1998 Whitley Streiber was awakened by somebody knocking on his hotel room door. A man came in and everything he said was life-altering. <p/> This is the unsettling and ultimately enlightening narrative of what happened that night. Strieber was never really sure who this strange and knowing visitor was--a Master of Wisdom? A figure from a different realm of consciousness? A preternaturally intelligent being? He called him the Master of the Key. The one thing of which Strieber was certain is that both the man and the encounter were real. <p/> The main concern of the Master of the Key is to save each of us from self-imprisonment. Mankind is trapped the stranger tells Strieber. I want to help you spring the trap. In a sweeping exchange between Strieber and the stranger--which takes the form of a classical student- teacher dialogue in pursuit of inner understanding--the unknown man presents a lesson in human potential esoteric psychology and man's fate. He illuminates why man has been caught in a cycle of repeat violence and self-destruction--and the slender but very real possibility for release. <p/> In its breadth and intimacy <i>The Key</i> is on par with contemporary metaphysical traditions such as <i>A Course in Miracles</i> or even with the dialogues of modern wisdom teachers such as D.T. Suzuki and Carl Jung.
