Autobiography of a Sorcerer is a four-book series exploring the practical side of ancient spirituality. Drawing from Toltec sorcery, Zen, Yoga, Taoism, Hermetic philosophy, and mysticism, it examines what these traditions discovered about consciousness, awareness, and human transformation.

Rather than asking you to adopt new beliefs, these books encourage direct experience through observation, meditation, dreaming, and inner silence.

Not at all.

The series is written for complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Concepts are explained clearly, progressing from fundamental principles through to advanced practices such as Dreaming, Stalking, Inner Silence, the Assemblage Point, and the Second Attention.

Most spiritual books ask you to believe.

This series asks you to observe.

Every chapter is built around practical methods developed through more than forty years of personal research and direct experience rather than religious doctrine or philosophical speculation.

The emphasis is always on testing ideas for yourself.

No.

These books do not promote any religion, guru, organisation, or belief system.

Instead, they compare many traditions—including Toltec Sorcery, Zen Buddhism, Yoga, Taoism, Christian Mysticism, and Hermetic philosophy—to discover the universal principles they appear to share.

The goal is understanding—not conversion.

Across the four books you'll explore:

• Personal Power and Hara

• Inner Silence

• Meditation beyond thought

• Dreaming and the Energy Body

• Stalking the Ego

• The Assemblage Point

• The Second Attention

• Practical methods for self-awareness

• Ancient parallels between Eastern and Western traditions

• Hundreds of concepts explained in plain language

Castaneda's work is one important influence, but it represents only part of the material.

The series compares Toltec sorcery with Zen, Yoga, Taoism, Hermetic philosophy, Kabbalah, Christian Mysticism, and many other traditions to reveal the deeper patterns they share.

Yes.

Although the subjects explore consciousness and spirituality, their practical application includes:

• greater mental clarity

• greater emotional awareness

• improved attention

• reduced internal dialogue

• stronger self-awareness

• better decision making

• a calmer, more centred life

Build the foundations through Personal Power, Hara, meditation, stopping the internal dialogue, Zen, Yoga and Taoist practices.

Explore Dreaming, the Energy Body, Stalking, heightened awareness, Fear, Clarity and the psychology of perception.

Learn about the Assemblage Point, the Dreaming Double, the Second Attention, advanced meditation, and integrating the teachings into daily life.

A comprehensive reference containing hundreds of terms, concepts, symbols and practices explained in detail, making it the perfect companion to the series.

Practical.

Each book contains explanations alongside exercises and methods you can begin using immediately.

The emphasis is always on personal experience rather than abstract philosophy.

If you've ever asked yourself:

• Who am I?

• Why do so many spiritual traditions describe similar experiences?

• Can consciousness be explored directly rather than believed?

• Is there practical wisdom hidden beneath religion and philosophy?

then this series was written for you.

Many of the practices described in these books were preserved within small traditions, scattered across different cultures, or expressed using different languages and symbols. Rather than presenting a conspiracy, this series explores how the same principles appear independently across history—and invites you to examine the evidence and decide for yourself.
