Chilean Miguel Serrano phenomenon is very surprising . Like many intellectuals of the 20th century, it is somewhat split. Serrano came from an aristocratic and wealthy family, made a fairly successful diplomatic career, lived in India for a long time, was friends with many notable people - Herman Hesse, K. -G. Jung, Ezra Pound . He was fascinated by magic and esotericism since childhood - he spent several young years with the Arauco Indians and perfectly knows their amazing traditions and the technique of ecstasy. But with all this, Serrano's books leave an impression of a strange and discouraging: in them, traditional-mystical concepts coexist with bizarre adventurous ideas regarding underground civilization, magical geography, the kingdom of the Templars in the secret Cordillera regions, etc. p. This unique author arouses the alertness of intelligent people .
