Every now and then arrives a man who contains within his life the momentum of an entire movement. Hermann Hesse comes to mind for the spirit- and soul-starved generations of the late 1800s and early to mid-1900s. The man for our time is Ralph White, a native of Wales who started out as a shy boy dreaming on the coast of the Irish Sea. From there he traveled around the world in search of depth and wisdom, met and spoke with virtually every significant representative of the Human Potential Movement, and co-founded New York Open Center on an aspiration that came to him in his twenties: to create oases of meaning, in urban settings particularly. In many ways his life has been one extended pilgrimage to rediscover the lost sources of Western esotericism.
