Black Book Omega: Cirque Apokálypsis (The Black Books)

Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D., Adv. M.ED. was trained in psycho-physiology and clinical psychology. As a research scientist he has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in professional journals and was a Research Fellow at the University of Toronto and the University of Southern California. He fled the world of academia and state sponsored psychology to become an explorer of the human mind...creating such devices as the Radical Undoing Series. He is now a world-famous author of a wide variety of books, CDs, and DVDs on post-modern psychology, sex, tantra, kundalini and mysticism...and an advocate of brain exploration.

Nick Pell is the founder of the Esozone event and the defunct occulture website Key 64, was an editor of "The Magician's Reflection", and has been a student of the Hyatt Method for several years. Eschewing the religious dogma and mental slack that dominate the occult landscape, Pell has carved a niche for himself as a hard- nosed, evidence-based practitioner of modern Tantra. Along with Joe Matheny he carries on the legacy of Hyatt's work under the auspices of the New Extreme Individual Institute. He calls his take on the Hyatt Method "Motherfucker Tantra", and works with Tarot as psychological archetypes. Pell lives somewhere in the Pacific Northwest where he is a relatively invisible prole.
