Why wait? There's no reason why someone cannot take the book of their
choice and post a chapter-by-chapter summary all on their own.

I think "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" is not just an exposition of
Buddhism meditation techniques but deals directly with many aspects of a
spiritual problem that every practicing magician faces. However, if one's
practice of magick is not considered a spiritual discipline, then this book
is probably is irrelevant that person.
