A man came in, and everything he said was life-altering. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is the unsettling and ultimately enlightening narrative of what happened that night. Strieber was never really sure who this strange and knowing visitor was--a \"Master of Wisdom\"? A figure from a different realm of consciousness? A preternaturally intelligent being? He called him the Master of the Key. The one thing of which Strieber was certain is that both the man and the encounter were real. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main concern of the Master of the Key is to save each of us from self-imprisonment. \"Mankind is trapped,\" the stranger tells Strieber. \"I want to help you spring the trap.\" In a sweeping exchange between Strieber and the stranger--which takes the form of a classical student- teacher dialogue in pursuit of inner understanding--the unknown man presents a lesson in human potential, esoteric psychology, and man's fate. He illuminates why man has been caught in a cycle of repeat violence and self-destruction--and the slender, but very real, possibility for release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In its breadth and intimacy, \u003ci\u003eThe Key\u003c\/i\u003e is on par with contemporary metaphysical traditions, such as \u003ci\u003eA Course in Miracles\u003c\/i\u003e, or even with the dialogues of modern wisdom teachers, such as D.T. Suzuki and Carl Jung.\u003cb\u003eWhitley Strieber\u003c\/b\u003e is the internationally bestselling author of more than 20 novels and works of nonfiction, among them the landmark work \u003ci\u003eCommunion\u003c\/i\u003e, his account of a close encounter of the third kind that took place in December 1985. He is also author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wolfen\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Hunger\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Global Superstorm\u003c\/i\u003e, all of which were made into feature films, most recently \u003ci\u003eSuperstorm\u003c\/i\u003e as \u003ci\u003eThe Day After Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e.
