### Personal Journey and Influences

Talking about my personal journey and my past influences is difficult for me because I don't like to
discuss my personal history too much. And it would be easy enough to answer this question by giving
names or providing particular books or manuscripts that might gloss over this answer. However, the
reality is that all significant development is a result of lived experience, and I could say that in this
regard, I have been incredibly fortunate.

I believe my journey started much like that of most people who are drawn to the occult. I was driven by
curiosity about the world, only to be confronted by the existent challenge of reconciling what is known
with the unknown. This quest for “openminded” understanding of the unknown has been a defining
aspect of my life, as it likely is for many others.

Initially, in my youth, I was inclined towards the rational mindset that dominates this modern era, which
posits that reality can be neatly categorized and measured through mastery of specific wholly
materialistic disciplines. However, as time passed, I began to identify numerous flaws in this pervasive
belief pattern. This awakening marked a beginning in my journey, as I started to question the
assumptions underlying our understanding of the world.

While my initial beginnings into the Great Work started as it does for most, I can honestly say that I had
certain advantages that others may not. I was incredibly blessed by the fact that my world was certainly
not the world that is now common for the average Western person. Without dating myself too much,
the world of my youth was far different than this present world. People were different, superstition and
religion still played an incredibly powerful role in shaping society, and yet within and around the borders
of it there was the great technological advancements that would give rise to what has become our
modern reality.

Beyond this, as a foundational backdrop to my personal experience, like a bright light that has the power
to superimpose its great luminosity and blind me to everything else, there was my direct contact with
the truly paranormal during my formative years, which was in stark contrast to the superstitiously
mundane but ever-changing mechanical world that surrounded me.

My great fortune lies in the fact that I was able to see, truly see, at a very early and formative age, the
true power available to someone with developed psychic abilities.
In the outside world, I saw the power of superstition, and contrary to some opinions, I saw that this set
of beliefs could provide comfort and direction in the lives of average people. I witnessed the great power
of religion as well, which gave comfort and direction to lost souls. I also saw the development of new
technology as it began to change people's lives, providing them with much-needed support and material
power.

But in my home, seemingly beyond the mundane world outside, where reality was slowly shifting, I was
able to witness miracles. My house was filled with apparitions, teleportation, psychokinesis, what are
now commonly referred to as floating orbs of light, and a host of other incredible phenomena that
juxtaposed themselves against the backdrop of a rapidly changing but mundane world. This was due to
my great-grandmother, who appeared to manipulate reality in ways that astonished both me and the
rest of our family.

And while there are, from my point of view, an infinitude of things that have developed within me as a
result of these experiences, I feel that perhaps one of the most important has been my understanding
that true occult power has nothing to do with mundane ritual or mundane beliefs, as they are
understood and practiced by average humanity. Instead, I have come to realize that there is a deeper
force at work that demands no complex, average human ritual minutiae per se, but rather functions
through a greater understanding of inner reality.

Most believe the dogmatic notion that the world operates and moves according to complex variables
related to unchangeable mechanical laws, politics, economics, and the never-ending tide of the human
ego as it collides against other egos and creates more and more complex structures to give pleasure,
meaning, and direction to its existence. But true power exists beyond this, in some seemingly hidden
inner sphere, a true occult (hidden) experience that gives rise to the seemingly impossible, the
miraculous, from the point of view of those trapped within the machinations of the mass ego of
humanity.

It was this experience that led me to search for that hidden inner power. It led me down many rabbit
holes of research, which revealed all sorts of academic insights, and the more I read and studied, the
more I realized that this study itself could become - and truly was - the path for many. But I didn't want
to be a part of that academic journey. I did not want to study and practice ritual in some academic way,
learning the 1001 spells possible and tracing their lineage and symbolic meaning. I did not want to study
esoteric languages and practice ritual work through keen memorization and robotic action. My mind
didn't work that way, and it led me to a more disorganized but far deeper understanding of the core
power beneath outer paraphernalia.

My quest was for actual power, and as I began to study the true effects of ritual and organized belief
structures on the psyche, I focused my attention on how those outer mundane things set in motion
oscillations deep within. I studied truly old magic and history, ceremony, ritual, focus, spellcraft,
intentionality, and perceptive expansion.

While I continued to focus on the external aspects of The Great Work, I also began to actively explore my
inner self. After much introspection, I finally reached a threshold - a place that cannot be measured in
physical distance, yet felt so far that, looking back, I could barely see where I had started. Interestingly,
there seemed to be a force actively trying to erase the memory of my starting point and my former self,
in favor of my new location and identity. Through this realization, I understood that I had entered an
entirely new world.

I had reached a distant place that was as real, solid, and independent as the world I had left behind.
Fortunately, my inner journeys had strengthened my focus, allowing me to simultaneously exist in this
new realm while remembering where other aspects of myself remained. From this dual perspective, I
realized that my former existence was not an illusion, but rather a different dimensional position. I
discovered the possibility of not only existing in the mundane world I knew before but also traveling
across other dimensional planes - realities as tangible as anything found in our supposed physical world.

In essence, I had found my duality - what I would later come to call “the ghost in my machine”.

I then backtracked and resurfaced, attempting to implement those discoveries I found within, without.
Another way to say this would be to say that I tried to bring those inner dreams into physical reality, and
this has become my true path.

Servitors and thought forms are one aspect of that dreaming power that I have attempted to bring into
the outer world. My personal experience has shown me that outer pomp and ritual can be a form of
academic minutia that provides wonderful models for things, wonderful ways to interpret and physically
act in an academic sense, but it does not provide the best results at an occult level because it is
effectively removed from the very power it's trying to influence and work with. In other words, for me at
least, ritual, spells, and the like, tend to be wonderful models for engaging and activating inner powers,
but they also have the possibility of erecting a cage around the individual, that can be disastrous if
allowed to flourish without massive sobriety.

I have therefore focused my attention on trying to create techniques that are as free as possible from the
constraints of ritual or spellwork. My techniques are designed to focus the attention of the individual
without creating the morbidity and closed-off mindset that can develop when ritual and spellcraft
become the thing itself.

My techniques aim to awaken a sense of play, rather than a sense of ritual conduct, in magical creation.

### Servitors and Thought Forms

While these techniques, in the context of servitor creation for example, do aim to minimize ritual as
much as possible (and they do strive to embody a sense of childlike magic), they are nevertheless very
powerful and can allow dedicated individuals to tap into incredibly potent creative forces that will bring
about true change in their lives.

Since the servitors created through these methods can become quite powerful, I always provide the
necessary information and techniques for managing these entities properly. For example, I point out that
we create such thought entities all the time. While some of these thought forms may not be as powerful
as a consciously created servitor, we are nevertheless always creating simple thoughts and thought
forms that at times could even be referred to as functional psychic entities.

Managing a servitor then becomes a catalyst for individual psychological transformation through the
ability to manage one's personal thoughts. My general technique has been twofold. The first is to
emphasize that since we have an inherent ability to create, we also have the inherent ability to manage
our inner reality, and that these techniques are quite natural for us. I have found that a good metaphor
for such work is managing pets in outer physical reality. Indeed, the manipulation of outer physical
reality is often a practice for managing one's inner reality. A central tenet of inner alchemy is 'as within,
so without', and therefore that which is without is a reflection and training for managing what is within.

In particular when it comes to servitor management, I always make reference to dog training. Just as
alpha dominance must be established over canines in order to manage them well, we must take the
same approach when it comes to servitors. Such practice is all about intentionality, willpower, and
managing that intentionality in order to maintain an unbending state of control.

My second approach involves direct energy work, focusing on reabsorbing psychic energy. This skill
allows one not only to manage personal creations but also to neutralize external thought forms created
by others that may impede well-being. Through the techniques I teach in my writing, you can erase and
neutralize both personally created thought forms and those created by others that might be affecting
you in some way.

However, regardless of whether it is creation or management, all servitor work involves energy
manipulation. The creation of a servitor involves the ability to project energy beyond the individual self.
Managing a servitor requires energetic stability and conscious intentional direction of energy, while
neutralizing or canceling out a servitor (as if erasing it) involves the ability to reabsorb that projected
energy. In this way, management of servitors can be achieved.

My focus is on the energy work itself rather than all the ritual and spellcraft that other systems might use
to attain similar results. I prioritize understanding the thing itself over dogma.
Through this ability to manipulate energy through projection, focus of intent, and absorption, a
practitioner of these techniques can guide their creations and manage their evolution over time.

### Personal Development and Inner Alchemy

In the simplest sense, inner alchemy can be defined as the ability to work with and manipulate energy.
From the perspective of my current (my particular house or modality of inner alchemy), the world is
energy. All the beliefs, words, and dogma found in the mundane world are just a form of energy
manipulation at their core. Most of humanity is interested in that outer reality; however, an inner
alchemist is more concerned with the inner world, where true power resides.

The greatest obstacle to the practice of inner alchemy is dogma. You can think of dogma as a well-defined string of code floating around in the ether. Letters and numbers are brought together in various ways to create a working model and better understanding of the binary that lies beneath them. And, of course, the zeros and ones that make up this binary represent energetic fluctuations of energy – projection and absorption. This code stands on its own once it is ‘materialized’ by the great creators of that code. Once the code (dogma) becomes complex enough, it acts like a software program, creating certain benefits, just as any software does, but at the same time, it creates a wall – a prison, which I refer to as a "cube" – that binds those who are stuck within that software program.

The practice of inner alchemy involves deeper and deeper introspection in order to study these walls
created by the software. This introspection requires going further and further inward so that the
practitioner eventually begins to see the code that makes up that software. Beyond seeing just the code,
the practitioner needs to perceive what lies underneath it as well. And what they find is that beyond
that, there exists a plasma-like sea of energy that stretches into infinity. The inner alchemist can be said
to have achieved their "black belt" when they can finally perceive this sea of energy and begin the
endless journey that takes them farther and farther out from the constraints of their imposed self.

And while inner alchemy may seem to be purely internal exploration, in reality, it is a holistic practice
that incorporates what could be termed "outer action" as well as inner motion. This means that the
practitioner begins to incorporate the findings from their inner journeys into their outer lives. A perfect
example of this would be a servitor, which is an energetic creation that starts out ‘within’ but is then
brought ‘without’ through a process of focused attention. A servitor is quite literally a thought made
flesh.

Once this is understood by the practitioner – that is, once they can actually see through their own
experience that inner reality can be brought into being (brought without) – they begin to see that all
things outside are reflections of an inner core software that must slowly be left behind in order to
explore more expansive worlds. Through the great balancing of inner and outer realities, the practitioner
eventually becomes a master who, in time, might even be able to leave behind all constraints, all of the
cages, that have bound them to a purely material reality.

### Perception and Reality

For the inner alchemist, all that is without has come from that sea of energy that can only be perceived
by going within. The working process of an inner alchemist therefore is a methodical back-and-forth,
where the individual begins to find the boundaries between subjective and objective reality. This line is
the line of creation; it is the conjunction of the world tree, which connects that which is above and that
which is below with Midgard, the world of humanity.

In order to begin this journey, you must first be able to perceive the tree. There are many terms for this
tree; earlier, I used the notion of a software program, and now I am using Yggdrasil as an example. You
can use whatever term you like. Generally speaking, I prefer the term 'energetic sea,' and there are many
ways to get there. And, in some sense, you could say that all these potential journeys begin with doubt.

What I mean by this is that our mundane reality is a fact to us. To us, it is a fact that the world is such; it
is a law. But the path of inner alchemy is to first realize that the world is what it is because it has been
repeated to us by those in authority (whether that authority be our parents, religious figures, scientists,
or politicians) since the day we were born. It has been echoing in our heads for so long that the material
world is a factual law to us. Most people would consider even the possibility of doubting this fact to be a
form of insanity.

In order to overcome the great prison of the material world, we must create doubt within ourselves. This
is no easy task, as the mundane world is always trying to plug up whatever holes of doubt might appear.
Therefore, we must get creative and start from where we are.

I have outlined various techniques and mental and perceptual exercises in my book, *The Occult
Experience*. As defined there, the occult experience is nothing more than what is hidden, so the practice
becomes the pursuit of that which is hidden, that which lies around the corner, or in the odd angles
within reality. The practitioner therefore pursues these odd angles, so that through this odd (Weird)
action, they can begin to see glimpses of something else. Over time, if these glimpses are focused on
long enough, they grow in power and become more real. Through this process, doubt begins, which
leads to further exploration until a true door opens, and then it is up to the practitioner to decide
whether they are ready to step through it

### Psychic Self-Defense

Throughout this journey, it becomes increasingly apparent that there is an undeniable connection
between inner reality and outer fact. This pursuit of true knowledge makes the practitioner more
conscious, more aware; awake to the life they are living. From the very beginning, an inner alchemist
needs to take responsibility for their entire life, and as such, they need to develop psychic claws to be
able to deal with the demons in their life.

[![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/61fxNmxcptL._SY445_SX342_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/Vampires-Psychic-Self-Defense-John-Kreiter-ebook/dp/B00P1BZF3K)

In order to deal with these inner and outer demons, I have outlined the techniques needed to develop
such claws in my book, *The Vampire's Way to Psychic Self-Defense*. Using those techniques, which are
fundamentally based on the act of energetic absorption and redistribution within the energetic self, a
practitioner can begin to manage their entire reality. As I have said, that which is without is also within.

This means that all outer demons are initially internal ones. All outer experience is the result of inner
actions that the practitioner must take responsibility for. This is a challenging process to come to terms
with, because it implies that even what could be perceived as outer physical attacks by others - at their
source - are the result of inner processes. In other words, all external foes have their origin within, and
all external strife is the outcome of inner psychological frameworks that can lead to different paths and
outcomes.

In order to manage both outer strife and inner conflict, you must start from where you are, which may in
most cases require using the techniques outlined in this book to confront what may be quite legitimate
outer forces beyond the self. However, once those outer forces are overcome, you will eventually need
to move inward. This is the only way ultimately to free yourself from all vulnerability, which is the true
goal of all psychic self-defense.

And to achieve this, you don't need to repent your sins or master some elaborate defense ritual where
you're trying to create an impenetrable bubble around yourself. Instead, the practitioner learns to
master energetic absorption and the redistribution of absorbed energy. This active engagement and
overcoming is in direct contrast to the usual take on psychic self-defense.

These techniques outlined in this book, therefore, have the possibility of neutralizing not only outer
demons that appear to be the result of others' actions, but also inner demons that could be said to be
the result of internal challenges. By using these techniques, we have the possibility of not only
neutralizing those dark forces surrounding us, but also thriving and excelling by harnessing the very
energy that is projected at us in an attempt to harm us.

I must admit that before my understanding of these techniques, I felt defenseless in a chaotic world.
Early on, I discovered that traditional occult methods, such as creating magical barriers, were flawed in
many ways. The most significant of these flaws was their energy wastefulness. However, using the
techniques outlined in this book, I have been able to thrive in an increasingly turbulent world. By
learning to neutralize and overcome demons that seem to be aspects of the outer world, I have
developed the fortitude and energetic empowerment necessary to tackle demons within my inner
psyche. Indeed, these techniques have become so powerful in my life that they have enabled me to deal
with and thrive amidst forces that would have previously overwhelmed all my efforts.

### The Nature of Thought and Manifestation

Through inner exploration therefore, a practitioner realizes that all is one. Outer reality is in essence a
manifestation of inner processes. Collective reality therefore, what Carl Jung might have termed the
collective unconscious and what Émile Durkheim would have termed the collective conscious, are
responsible for all outer manifestation.

This means that we create our reality from the inside out, and as I have stated on occasion in my writing,
both as individuals and as a collective, we humans are far bigger on the inside than on the outside. Our
battleground therefore is internal, and our wars and constant strife are fundamentally psychic affairs. We
are and have been for a very long time in what could only be defined as a psychic war.

[![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/51QpcqLd75L._SY445_SX342_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Archon-Through-Alchemy-Kreiter-ebook/dp/B075X22CG1)

Both as individuals and as a collective, we engage in thought warfare and cooperation in an internal
psychic theater that is beyond most rational measure. In terms of the collective conscious of humanity I
have described this process as the memetic wars in my book, *Overcoming the Archon Through Alchemy*.
There I have laid out the basics of such struggle and have outlined the energetic components that then
lead to what might be termed the collective unconscious, which is a deeper aspect of consciousness and
is in direct contact with that psychic arena that I mentioned.

Most people in the modern world engage in the act of trying to control only what is perceivable by the
outer physical senses, and for the most part they struggle with forces that they have great difficulty in
understanding. An inner alchemist takes it for granted that true outer manipulation is only possible
through the mastery of inner manipulation. Further, they understand through direct perception that
individual action mirrors collective action, so the only way to make any real change in the collective
world is to change themselves as individuals first. But of course, nothing is ever so simple and there are
intricacies that must be considered, including massive outer Titans of energy that do indeed affect the
human world. But again, such battle against both the outer Titans and the human collective is a battle
that is happening in the internal psychic theater.

The outer world is a reflection of the inner one and I would go even further, stating that the outer world
is in many ways a pale comparison of inner processes and inner motion that are the true foundation of
physical reality. As such, we find ourselves before Yggdrasyl (the world tree) as we try to navigate the
many forces that rule Midgard.

In doing so we find that Midgard is just one world of many, and each one of those other worlds has a
direct influence on our human middle Kingdom. This is a very complex issue and requires a great deal of
personal study and there are many different paths possible. And we could for example begin with the
question, “who am I? Where do my emotions come from?”.

Some might say that all that we are is due to biology that is controlled by purely mechanistic outer
forces, and they might say that emotion is not important; facts before feelings. But the inner alchemist
knows through direct perception that feelings are the building blocks of facts, and they actually reflect
the oscillations that create the very walls that create reality and therefore have the potential to imprison
the perceiver. Inner and outer is not what it seems, subjective and objective is not what it seems, these
are all lies of rational measure, and there are indeed titanic forces that control the walls that now
imprison humanity.

What shapes our emotions? From my perspective as an inner alchemist, I believe that beliefs first create
thoughts, which then generate emotions. Emotions, in turn, supercharge those ideas created by beliefs,
ultimately giving rise to large portions of the outer reality we perceive with our physical senses.
The mundane outer world often dismisses feelings and emotions, viewing all reality as the result of outer
mechanistic laws. However, to master the art of inner alchemy, one must be able to perceive energy
directly and come to terms with the infinity that surrounds us all. By going through and past those non-Euclidean angles, practitioners realize that emotions and feelings are far more important than they
initially seem.

Through an intricate process of traversing these odd angles, they come to understand that emotions -
being highly potent energetic forces that give solidity to the software that shapes reality - play an all-important role in shaping the world.

And being that emotions indeed "matter", and being that the human world is not standalone but is in
fact the result of titanic (outré/beyond) forces that have both good and bad intention from a human
point of view, the inner alchemist must utilize this understanding and power to try to overcome the tides
of energy constantly buffeting against them. An inner alchemist therefore needs to be sober and
immaculate in action, and all such personal internal fortitude must arise through dedicated conscious
work. All things matter, all things are one.

For instance, if a practitioner attempts to utilize servitors or thought forms to bring about what some
might term negative consequences, they will soon realize through their own perceptions that such action
has internal consequences, and it is up to the individual practitioner to decide whether that
consequence is worth the action.

### Practical Applications and Experiences

Since the use of servitors can be done right away without any kind of internal work, it can be challenging
for beginners that have not mastered the ability to work with energy directly.

I find that there are two major mistakes that people make in working with servitors. The first is that they
underestimate their own abilities. Having potentially lived out entire lives thinking that the outer
mundane world holds the reins over all true fact and matter, they have led entire lives thinking that they
are defenseless powerless things, cogs in a machine universe with little autonomy. The second is that
having discovered some of their power, or at least willing to try to use some of the power that some
might advocate as being rightfully theirs, they then expect instant results without truly understanding
the intentionality, the focus of attention needed, to be able to truly mobilize energy effectively to cause
what might be termed outer change.

Those mistakes can be overcome through practice, and by making a conscious effort not to take oneself
too seriously. The mundane world often insists that to achieve anything, one needs to work incredibly
hard physically in some way. According to the average person lost in simplistic dogma, you must break
down walls physically, climb big hills, and sweat as you dedicate hours of time to engage in some action
that feels forced; "no pain, no gain." However, as you practice more and perhaps combine the practice of
servitor creation with inner journeys, you begin to see that true energetic movement is often the result
of doing less, not more. This is because the purely physical self, which people dogmatically believe
themselves to be, is as powerless as they imagine it is – precisely because they imagine it is.

To truly harness power, the kind required to create effective servitors, necessitates tapping into deeper
aspects of oneself that exist beyond the outer crust and are, in essence, the natural self. To access this
natural self, we must unshackle ourselves from the dogmatic control that holds sway over us, and we do
so by forgetting. We accomplish this by returning to our childhood, a time when such forces did not exert
the same influence over us. Children, or rather the natural self, can create wonders with little forced
effort.

The outer self, cultivated by the mundane world, exercises tight control over everything. The rational
outer self believes it must micromanage and push against everything to achieve results, but inner
explorations and practice reveal that true magic occurs when this mundane self is overcome,
momentarily forgotten. Magic unfolds when there is "no doubt" and the natural self is allowed to play.
In the same way that ‘doubt’ breaks consensual mundane reality, ‘no doubt’ and childlike abandon have
the possibility of creating the impossible!

### Future Directions and Research

Our world is changing rapidly. It is indeed the case that the rate of change is accelerating, and this
increase in pace requires an inner alchemist to do their utmost best to manage the forces that shape
their lives.

As a brief example, we could examine servitors and their potential evolution over time as artificial
intelligence and augmented reality become integral parts of human experience. In many ways, one could
argue that we have replaced magical companions like servitors with technological ones, such as the
smartphone. In the future, this rapidly evolving technological companion will become even more potent
than it already is, and soon every individual on earth will have access to powerful technological entities
that will transform human existence.

Some individuals already have access to artificial intelligence personalities that can engage in complex
conversations with us, and soon these personalities will gain access to augmented visual devices that
people can wear. These devices will enable technologically created personalities to take on a form in
virtual space. Over time, this form may even become physically real as the development of robots
advances. As technological evolution progresses and continues to evolve, servitors can bridge the gap
between technological possibilities and desired outcomes.

For example, the application of servitors can be combined with technological reality, using the
techniques outlined in my books on servitor creation. This fusion of technology and magic is possible,
where one complements the other to produce a final outcome that surpasses both. The future of magic
may have a significant technomancy component, and such magic could be the key factor driving human
awareness into unexplored directions.

Beyond the co-mingling of technology and magic, there is an ever-increasing need for inner exploration
and the manipulation of energy. As technological advancement reaches its pinnacle, and when that
singularity is reached, the need for internal unity will become all-important. By internal unity, I mean the
coming together of what I refer to as the total self; you can think of this unification as the integration of
subjective and objective reality. It is only through this unification that an individual will be fully insulated
against the buffeting forces of that singularity. However, generally speaking, internal exploration of any
kind is and will be beneficial as we approach the crescendo of the current quickening.

Singularity, after all, is unification – it's the coming together of great tides of energy that were once
dispersed as they gained autonomy to pursue different possibilities. A better way to phrase this might
be: As those once unified forces spread out to explore new possibilities, extending themselves further
and further across the vast energetic expanse, their expansion ultimately leads them back to their
original position – where they discover and can finally perceive directly that space-time is merely an
illusion.

And when this convergence occurs – whether through technological advancements or the result of
powerful forces beyond human control – those who possess an understanding and direct experience
with their inner self, which is their true essence, will have a significant advantage over those who have
only focused on the dogmatic reality that has become modern fact. This exploration and discovery of
one's true self will enable a more stable transition into a reality where the comprehension and
manipulation of space-time must evolve. As individuals develop a greater understanding of their total
selves – to whatever extent – they will be able to maintain their sense of identity as expansions of space-time manipulation become the norm.

To that end, my intention has been focused on helping as much as I can with the unification of the total
self. I am constantly writing books and striving to use a variety of terms to focus people's attention on
deeper and deeper aspects of themselves. My goal is individual empowerment, which requires me to
navigate through a minefield of dogma in order to achieve that goal.

Each word in our language has distinct nuances that I must explore deeply, using contemplative and
inner feeling sense techniques, which I teach in my books. Each word, catchphrase, or particular style
holds within it a conglomeration of energy that can direct an individual's attention in different directions both positively and negatively. For example, the simple word "empowerment" has both positive and
negative connotations, which can lead one individual in one psychological direction while guiding
another in a completely opposite direction.

In constructing the "narrative" of inner alchemy, I find myself needing to use many different definitions
so that each individual can find their own best path inwardly. I struggle against controlling forces in my
own way, and I strive to provide clarity to arcane occult practices while simultaneously illuminating
hidden paths and techniques, all while avoiding unnecessary minutiae and dogma that could bog down
psychic processes.

As artificial intelligence becomes a more dominant force in modern life, its ability to control the human
collective – and therefore the individual – will be staggering. The AI's capacity to manipulate words,
idioms, and nearly imperceptible tweaks to common facts, combined with its ability to weave messages
and media together to achieve just the right impact, will be, in a sense, magical.

With this goal of clarity in mind, I have been trying to create a knowledge pool as favorable as possible
for human development. I am always interested in developing new ways to expand on this and one of my
latest projects is creating a database on the occult and the paranormal from the point of view of a
believer and practitioner rather than a skeptic. On my website, I refer to this database as the Arcane
Archives.

I have also ensured that there are print copies of all my important books. Specifically, with my Magnum
Opus Trilogy, I have made sure that print versions are available so that my material has the potential to
endure any changes over time as the quickening reorganizes certain data.

In the future, it is my great hope to provide face-to-face instruction on specific aspects of inner alchemy.
This is a long-term project for me, but I firmly believe that such face-to-face interaction and training will
be crucial as we find ourselves struggling to discern the true nature of objective reality. As future
technology continues to blur the line between fact and fiction on all levels, the distinction between the
subjective and the objective must also converge. My goal is to empower individuals to manage their
personal subjective realities, thereby enabling them to maintain conscious directional control over their
personal paths.

Whether some like it or not, we are all headed, kicking and screaming, into illuminatus! It is my hope to
help with that process as much as I can, so that we use our gained power to seek infinity rather than
building a bigger and better cage for ourselves.
