Richard Rose’s Psychology of the Observer: The Path to Reality Through the Self
John Kent discovered the teachings of Richard Rose in the early years when Mr. Rose made a trip to the West Coast and gave lectures there. John later migrated east to be closer to Mr. Rose and the Albigen System working groups, attending weekly meetings and living in the local ashram with other group members.
John is a PhD and a licensed psychologist. In 1990, in partial fulfillment of his degree requirements, he wrote and later published Richard Rose’s Psychology of the Observer: The Path to Reality Through the Self, which is a detailed and thorough presentation of the Albigen System and the teachings of Mr. Rose.
