This was the organ of The Prosperos, a group founded on the enlightenment received by Thane Walker in, as he said, the bar of the Harbard Club in 1956 after listening to lectures by Lewis Mumford. He based his work on the works of Emma Curtis Hopkins, George I. Gurdjieff, Emmett Fox, Freud and Krishnamurti. The group offered "a transformative spiritual education" that merged modern psychology, astrology and sexual ideas, primarily homosexuality.
