The Holy Mountain is the attempt to enlighten the entire society. To prepare, he found a Guru, who gave him LSD. Then after he had gathered his cast, he took them on a three month retreat to prepare, and the film itself seems to have taken six months to shoot.

All three are essential works. Jodorowsky truly is Alexandro the Great. Holy Mountain is not about being high, it is about seeing through all illusions, of which getting high very much is one of those illusions.

It is a huge satire of the modern world in which the Alchemist played by Alexandro himself finds the most horrible people in the solar system, and then takes them on a quest that pacifies them by promising immortality - just like the regular religions! For a film that does not go "inside" any of the characters -- we see them in beautifully framed compositions -- it is very easy to follow and never lets the viewer down.

In the end, he even reveals the secret of immortality. I believe The Holy Mountain may be the most perfect Utopian vision ever put on film. And if someone tried to make a film like this today, they'd probably be arrested. Also included is the Tomos of Mount Athos in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts -- an important Orthodox doctrinal document, written in the fourth century by St. Gregory Palamas and signed by the elders of the Holy Mountain.

These writings, together with the others in this volume, have all been written by Athonite monks; all but one of them appears in English for the first time, translated by Hieromonk Alexander Golitzin , who contributes, in his lengthy Introduction, an examination of Athonite history, organization, and daily life.
