"THE PATH is a veritable treasure trove of insight into the dynamic nature of human consciousness and the greater reality, and of course into the mysterious interaction between these two great extremes: between us imperfect human beings and our higher selves, between the mortal and the divine, and between human minds and unseen negative influences. Full of hope and of practical ways to overcome negative urges and influences.  Well thought out and beautifully written.  Outstanding and highly recommended reading!"

Robert Bruce

at revamping your lifestyle in order to resist these influences and to
live a life of peace, balance and serenity.

Book description and blurbs:

'The Path' is a book about alcoholism, recovery, astral projection,
sorcery and 'The Matrix'. It is the most unusual self-help book you will
ever read. How much of a role do unseen negative forces play in our
lives? More than you could possible imagine. Learn practical techniques
to reclaim your true mind and the magick lying dormant within you.

"The Path: A Practical Approach to Sorcery" is a very realistic glimpse
into the true meaning and purpose of a Sorcerer's journey. With
breathtaking visualization and a deep level of understanding, Arana
exposes the reader to the discipline of a Sorcery apprenticeship".

"Fresh New Insights Into Sorcery, Addiction & Perception
Esmeralda Arana's educational and entertaining book, THE PATH, is packed
with amazing revelations about the similarities between the Alcoholics
Anonymous (AA) Twelve Step Program, Carlos Castaneda's Warrior's Way,
Robert Monroe's Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), and Gurdjieff's concept
of hypnotic sleep. The key to transforming your life is in transforming
your perception of reality. You can change channels in your life from
one reality to another just like changing channels on TV, by tuning in
to a different perceptual station with sufficient energy and intent.
Arana describes her fascinating experiences with lucid dreaming and some
of the side-effects of lucid dreaming (such as hearing voices, and
knowing intimate and seemingly unknowable details about others). THE
PATH is intensely practical and transformative. I highly recommend this
book for its excellent down-to-Earth writing, original ideas, and
fascinating insights into how you can make small shifts in perception in
order to make big changes in your life". Cynthia Sue Larson, Editor,
