Was he onto something?

>His cousin Count Hermann von Keyserling, who later knew him well, wrote that the baron was very curious from his teenage years onward with "Tibetan and Hindu philosophy" and often spoke of the mystical powers possessed by "geometrical symbols". Keyserling called Ungern-Sternberg "one of the most metaphysically and occultly gifted men I have ever met" and believed that the baron was a clairvoyant, who could read the minds of the people around him.[19] Later, in Mongolia, Ungern became a Buddhist but did not leave the Lutheran faith.

I just ordered Beasts Men and Gods because of this post. Sounded like an interesting guy. Quite possibly mad as a hatter but had a good run for a while apparently

Ossendowski claims that the baron was very friendly towards him and told him all kinds of personal stuff, which is a little suspicious given the fact that he died not too long after Ossendowski made it back to Europe. I really liked the book but parts of it verge on "dude trust me" territory.

If you were upper class, you could ponder on the world like the schizobabble from a homeless meth addict and you’d be applauded for it.

I also recommend The Baron's Cloak, rather than being a biography it uses his life to explain the historical context of Russia at the time. It does tell his life story, but puts it into perspective and uses it as a narrative to explain the state of Russia.
