Sub-Series A: Temple of Esoteric Science Files (1976-1983) contain material related to Art Kunkin's work with Andrew Da Passano, an Italian-Russian spiritual teacher based in the Los Angeles area. Together, they ran the Temple of Esoteric Science, a meditation group that taught yoga, hypnosis, life extension, and other esoteric and spiritual practices. The Temple of Esoteric Science had changed names a couple times including the Temple of Esoteric Knowledge and the Way of the Magi. The material in this series contains business records and class material including reports, proposals, financial records, class handouts, marketing material, and manuscripts and drafts.
