Anthroposophy's Open Secret - by Paul V. O'Leary

This book was written by a close personal friend of mine, Paul V. O'Leary. PVO - as he called himself - was a mentor to me and shared several of his unpublished works such as this one.

Unfortunately PVO passed in 2020 along with his friend and publisher Gene Gollogly. This has left me in an odd situation as PVO had no kids or surviving family. To my knowledge I am the only one in possession of his works.

You can learn more about Paul via his autobiography 'Intoxicated by Life' which is available on Amazon. He has published, edited, and translated several texts via the Anthroposophical Press.

Anthroposophy's Open Secret is - in my estimation - the clearest and most concise articulation of that philosophy. Paul himself once told me that by and large Antrhoposophists are full of shit; more concerned about showing off that they know why the inner ear is shaped the way it is, than anything of real substance.

In the end the philosophy is one of self knowledge. The good and the bad. But knowledge of the self is more than enough to consume this lifetime and what follows. I hope his writings bring you some level of deeper understanding of yourself and some peace within this fucked up world.
