Synopsis: Lost in a dark wood like Dante, Nicholas Hagger tells the story of his search for meaning, purpose and truth that took him to Iraq and Japan, and encounters with Zen and China&’s Cultural Revolution, which he was the first to discover. In Libya, then a Cold-War battleground, he began four years&’ service and a double life as an undercover British intelligence agent (here revealed for the first time). He witnessed Gaddafi&’s Egyptian/Soviet-backed coup, and its terrifying aftermath tore into his personal life, plunged him into a Dark Night of the Soul and faced him with execution. He went on to serve in London as Prime Minister Edward Heath&’s &“unofficial Ambassador&” to the African liberation movements at the height of Soviet and Chinese expansion in Africa during the Cold War. Despite being routinely followed by surveillance squads he found Reality on a &‘Mystic Way&’ of loss, purgation and illumination. He now perceived the universe as a unity, and had 16 experiences of the metaphysical Light.
