Allan first learned of Meher Baba in 1964. Soon after, taking LSD while reading Baba’s Discourses and believing that he had reached the sixth plane, he wrote to Kitty Davy, ultimately resulting in a direct response from Meher Baba. At Baba’s urging, Allan gave up his drug use and became an “apostle” in redirecting Americans away from the physical, mental, and spiritual harm of psychedelic drugs. The  drug work was deemed so important by Baba that Allan and several other “Baba-boys” dedicated to the same goal remained in constant communication with Him even throughout times of His intense seclusion.

            Allan eventually became one of the top experts in the field of drug prevention. He enjoys continued collaboration with other Baba lovers, enjoys speaking and sharing at live and virtual Baba groups, and remains deeply involved in a broad scope of Sufi activities and service programs.

Doug Stalker first came to Baba after seeing the "Ancient One" poster in his favorite bookstore in Albany, NY.  Fifty-three years later, he continues to try to be worthy and to please his Divine Beloved.

 He is presently recording part two of his rock opera, "Jerusalem — A Symphonic Saga." He is also 6,000 verses into a long poem, a metaphor for his inner life with Meher Baba, called, "At the Adelphi.... a Cosmic Nursery Rhyme."
