Kurt rarely wrote out his presentations in advance, preferring to prepare notes from which he could speak extemporaneously. He would either outline a topic or simply prepare a precis upon which he would then elaborate. Such is this brief set of "notes" Kurt prepared for a joint presentation with Claudio Naranjo (pictured at right) for a talk at the Institute of Asian Studies in April, 1977. Claudio Naranjo, a Chilean-born mystic, scholar, psychiatrist and psychonaut shared many qualities in common with Kurt; he too was a student of Oscar Ichazo, the founder of the Arica School.
