From the far reaches of the human mind, come these tales of unrestrained, anti-authoritarianism. No government, no leaders, no authority, no rules, and complete freedom of action! Egoism, solipsism, anarchism, and other heresies -- now revealed to corrupt your mind!!!"What I found by turning my back on our society-generated mythology was so profound that I had to share it -- presumptuous or not -- because it indicts the social structures of mankind and demands social disobedience, or living according to our inner, heroic nature and not according to the intimidation and demands of society's ideology".

While Murray does have some very cogent points, some readers may lost them in the text that can feel somewhat repetitive and vague, especially to those resistant to the unavoidable "New-Age_ feel to the text. He spends a lot of time going over how everything is made up of systems, from the cosmic to subatomic level, and how individuals are both made up of and belong to numerous systems, and how nobody can truly know anything, and sometimes this can all become a bit vague and bemusing after the fifth time it's explained in a slightly different way. However, the overall point of Anarchic Harmony - the need for individuals to recognize their own identities and needs instead of having society assign them, comes across clearly and passionately, even if you do end up skimming the last couple of chapters.
