Bey was born and raised in Cairo, and at an early age went underwent training in an Egyptian Coptic Temple. Ultimately emerging as a “seven-ring Master,” Bey traveled to America in 1926 intending to demonstrate to Harry Houdini—who had launched a campaign aimed at debunking spiritualist phenomena—feats of mind over matter that Houdini would be unable to explain.
When Houdini died before Bey found an audience with him, Bey remained in America and caused a sensation with a series of public demonstrations, including multiple live burials, permitting skewers to be stuck into his flesh, and mesmerizing animals.
In 1937, Bey moved to Los Angeles and founded the Coptic Fellowship of America, through which he continued his demonstrations and disseminated his teachings, in part via a home study course titled “How to Master Your Life,” with topics that included “The Law of Vibration: Energy, Electricity, Magnetism,” “Metaphysics and Mysticism,” and “The Magical Power of the Mind to Form and Re-Form.”
Hamid Bey passed away on July 16th 1976.visualizza meno
