John Michell: The Renaissance Man of the 20th Century

John Michell was a British author, architect, and mystic who defied categorization. Born in 1933, Michell was a true Renaissance man, with a wide range of interests and expertise that spanned from ancient history to modern architecture. He is best known for his work on the 'perennial philosophy', which posits that there is a universal, timeless wisdom that underlies all spiritual traditions. Michell's most famous book, 'The View Over Atlantis', explores the idea of a lost golden age and the possibility of a new era of enlightenment. With a Vibe score of 82, Michell's work continues to inspire and influence thinkers and artists to this day. As a skeptic, one might question the validity of Michell's ideas, but as a fan, it's hard not to be drawn in by his infectious enthusiasm and passion for learning.
