Alan Watts

excerpt via Alan Watts on How to Fake Your Way as a Spiritual Teacher

"As soon as you can afford to wangle it, get hold of a country house as an ashram or spiritual retreat, and put students to work on all the menial tasks. Insist on some special diet, but do not follow it yourself. Indeed, you should cultivate small vices, such as smoking, mild boozing, or, if you are very careful, sleeping with the ladies, to suggest that your stage of evolution is so high that such things do not affect you, or that only by such means can you remain in contact with ordinary mundane consciousness."

"Stevens also identifies others (probable agents / assets) on the IFIF Board of Directors:

*In early January 1963, IFIF filed incorporation papers with the state of Massachusetts. Leary was designated president, Alpert, director, with Gunther Weil, Ralph Metzner, George Litwin, Walter Houston Clark, Huston Smith, and Alan Watts listed as members of the Board of Directors.[[64]](http://www.gnosticmedia.com/SpiesinAcademicClothing_MKULTRA#_edn64)

~ Jay Stevens*

Also, since Bowart’s wife was on the board of directors for New York IFIF, this point is especially interesting since it’s omitted from his book."
