400 Years Of Imaginary Friends: A Journey Into The World Of Adepts, Masters, Ascended Masters, And Their Messengers is a fascinating, detailed, definitive survey and study of why people get into cult-like groups, why they stay, and why they leave. Based upon extensive personal experience and research, Kenneth and Talita Paolini share their adventures among such groups as the "Church Universal and Triumphant", and follows the history of the concept of "Master" through Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Spiritualism, New Thought, Theosophy, Agni Yoga, I AM, Bridge to Freedom, and The Temple of the Presence. An evolution of the belief system developed by Rosenkreuz, Swedenborg, Mesmer, Fox, Quimby, Eddy, Blavatsky, Leadbeater, Baily, Krishnamurit, Roerichs, Ballards, Innocente, Prophets, and Shearers are thoroughly and accurately presented. The Paolini's also explore a variety of possibilities for people's mystical encounters and conclude by offering ex-members of these various groups sound ideas on life after involvement with a "Masters" group. Well-researched, clearly written, 400 Years Of Imaginary Friends demystifies the web of assumptions, deceptions, and self-rationalizations that surrounds the Masters and the messengers.
