#17 - Spy Of The Heart: Pseudomysticism and Idries Shah (Patreon)

Dimitri and Khalid discuss the charmed career of "Sufi master" Idries Shah, his MK-ULTRA scientist friends, the Wiccan/OTO connection, plagiarizing George Gurdjieff, Western instrumentalizations of Eastern mysticism, and Shah's 1980s turn as the mujahideen-stanning Tom Clancy of the Soviet-Afghan war.
