I have only just come across this sad news, from February: Dr Christopher Hyatt, occultist, publisher of New Falcon Press and collaborator with Israel Regardie died on the 9th of February.
Honestly, I always had mixed feelings about Dr Hyatt’s work – on the one hand he was a daring, insightful writer and on the other he flirted and advocated much which I consider inappropriate or down right dangerous. He also seemed to love making money and his publishing press found many ways to market material at the annoyance or expense of the reader.
However, his encouragement, support and publication of Israel Regardie’s revised Golden Dawn compilation, The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic, deserves our respect and gratitude. Despite a poor editing job, the book revealed more of the GD tradition than the older version. Dr Hyatt’s early works, such as Undoing Yourself With Energized Meditation and Secrets of Western Tantra contain many gems and some of the most potent body based spiritual exercises outside of a formal Yoga tradition. Dr Hyatt was obviously a man of intelligence, vision and energy.
As a young student, over 20 years ago now when Falcon was just starting, I relished pretty much every new Falcon Press book, even ringing overseas to ensure a prompt arrival of Robert Anton Wilson’s Prometheus Rising. I also participated in the Golden Dawn correspondence course run by Falcon (with material from Pat Zalewski). All of this was, ultimately, through Dr Hyatt’s work. I am sure he will be sorely missed.
"We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured." ~

How does my spiritual practice and daily life serve the earth?
How does my spiritual practice and daily life affect the poorest third of humanity?
How will my spiritual practice and daily life affect the generations to come in the future?

“For most of us, however, we only think seriously of food or sex or money when it becomes a problem, which is to say when we feel we are not getting our share. When we find ourselves in that situation then I regret to say that meditational visualisations are really not the best way to remedy the lack. … We are here in a physical condition in a physical world and while in that state we have to abide by the laws appropriate to it.”
"The biblical texts have been strained out through a Greek/Latin mindset, which is very surface and static. I sometimes think it would have actually have been better if Western culture had based so called "Western religion" on Greek philosophy, rather than middle-eastern, because then at least you'd have all one thing. It would be eternally consistent. But what we have now is sort of half of each. And you're left with a basically schizophrenic tradition." 
Sad. But with the gifts he’s given and conveyed were never far off in the dark. Farewell.
