Wright Stories Part Two is a continuation of Wright Stories Part One.

These stories about Wright were collected from various sources. During 1957 and 1958 I was at Wriight's home and drafting room near Spring Green, Wisconsin, called Taliesin, many times, talking to his apprentices about his houses designed after World War II. In order to get Wright's permission to photograph floor plans and perspective drawings for these houses, I talked to him twice, and in the fall of 1958 had an official appointment to see him. My wife and I sometimes with other Wright hunters drove around the Midwest to see and photograph many of Wright's houses since 1945. Only two chapters of my book on these houses were published, both in The Art Journal, 1961 and 1963.

In early 2006 a paper I wrote in 1959 was sent to me by the Wright Foundation containing information on the owner built Robert Berger house of San Anselmo, California and long quotes from a letter to me in 1958 by Robert Berger on building his house. All of this material had been lost. Its reappearing in 2006 inspired me to do two articles on Wright's smaller diamond module houses for a Chicago outfit devoted to the Chicago Prairie School called PrairieMod. The articles are online

The second article is on the Patrick Kinney house in Lancaster, Wisconsin which I visited and photographed in October of 1958, a small diamond module design similar to the owner built Berger house.

Many of these stories go back to 1957-1960, about fifty years ago, and I don't remember in many cases where I first heard them. Some may be fiction, or partly fiction, and others are true.

The New Age Occult movement arrived on the scene in the early and middle seventies, coming, in part, out of the Counterculture of the Sixties. The drug movement and the hippies were into aspects of the occult during the sixties, such as Hindu religion, the Chinese book of divination, the I Ching, and astrology. When the New Age Occult movement got going, it spawned many channelers of demon spirits, whereas earlier only a few spirit mediums talked to demons, often in attempts to contact the dead. Many doctrines of the current New Age Occult were obtained by channeling of demon spirits.

As part of the Counterculture, the New Age Occult movement was spread into the larger popular culture with the Counterculture as it expanded into the larger American culture. And it was popularized in other ways.

Demons supposedly instructed New Age Occult leaders in the coming elimination of all people opposed to the New Age Occult, who will not “evolve” into a “higher” state of consciousness. Alice Bailey, whose teachings are a major influence upon this movement, laid the foundation for the New Age Occult infiltration of organized Christianity. Her plan is being carried out now, especially in the infiltration of the Emerging or Networking Church movement. I am even aware of one or two New Age Occultists who have tried to infiltrate underground Christianity - a Yahoo Group of Remnant Christians who have dropped out of the churches.

Blindedsided is divided into three parts, with Part One on the Many New Age Channelers. Part Two is about the New Age Occult Elimination Plan, to get rid of its opposition - and part Three is focused on the New Age Infiltration of Organized Christianity.
