IN A WORLD FILLED WITH CONSTANT DISTRACTIONS AND DEMANDS,
the search for self-realization and transcendence is a journey that beckons to many. Within the pages of my book,
“Back to the Source: Techniques for Self-Realization and Reaching Transcendence,”
I have endeavored to illuminate the profound connections between four fascinating realms of knowledge: Esoterica, Personality, Alchemy, and Psychology, merging all of them in one theme: CONSCIOUSNESS. Universal Human explores these interconnected topics and how they coalesce to guide us on a transformative voyage of self-understanding.
Esoterica: Esoterica encompasses the hidden or mysterious aspects of human knowledge and spirituality. It delves into the mystical, the occult, and the spiritual, seeking to unlock the secrets of existence. The wisdom of esoteric traditions often speaks to our innermost desires for connection and meaning.
Alchemy: Alchemy is not merely the ancient pursuit of turning base metals into gold; it is also a metaphorical journey of personal transformation. Alchemy teaches us to transmute our inner “base” qualities into spiritual “gold.” It is the roadmap for personal growth and self-improvement.
Psychology: Psychology is the science of understanding the human mind and behavior. It explores the intricacies of the conscious and unconscious aspects of our psyche. Through psychology, we can dissect the layers of our consciousness and understand our thought processes.
Personality: Personality, the unique combination of traits and characteristics that define an individual, is the canvas on which our life’s journey is painted. Understanding one’s personality can provide profound insights into our motivations, reactions, and life choices. It is the gateway to self-discovery.

Now, let’s unite these elements: Esoterica, with its spiritual insights; Personality, our unique foundation; Alchemy, the transformative process; and Psychology, the scientific understanding of the mind. These topics can be intertwined to facilitate our journey of self-discovery and self-realization.
In my book, I take you on a guided exploration of these interconnected realms, showing how the mystical wisdom of Esoterica can provide the philosophical and spiritual framework for understanding your personality. Alchemy becomes the transformative vehicle that empowers you to embrace your strengths and work on your weaknesses, all within the context of psychological insight.

“OK BUT HOW DOES IT APPLY TO MY LIFE”? YOU MAY THINK.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES
NOTHING IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A DIRECT EXPERIENCE. PEOPLE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS WERE TRYING TO REACH HEIGHTENED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH VARIOUS PRACTICES: ASCETISM, ECSTATIC DANCE, CHANTING, MEDITATION, RITUALS, CONSUMPTION OF HOLY PLANTS, MUSIC, ETC. VIDEO BELOW CAPTURES THE SIGNIFICANCE AND POWER OF THOSE ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
An introduction E-BOOK I wrote to guide laymen into topics related to mind exploration, altered states of consciousness, self-development and personality, all captured on 233 pages.
The wisdom of the ages is woven into the fabric of our being, and understanding these connections is a key to unlocking our inner potential. To get a taste of what this journey entails, I invite you to explore the first thirty pages of “Back to the Source: Techniques for Self-Realization and Reaching Transcendence” available on [this page]. It’s an opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation that unites the esoteric, the personal, the alchemical, and the psychological into a single tapestry of enlightenment and transcendence.

You may be lonely, but you are never alone. Inside each of us is a second self, another being. The great Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, named this gidden part of us the Shadow. The Shadow is an archetype – a universal motif or image built into all human beings. You can no more get rid of this inner Shadow than you can avoid casting an outer shadow when you’re in sunlight.
For most of us, that creates a problem, because the Shadow appears as the sum total of the weakest, most flawed, inferior, or even disgusting parts of yourself. It’s everything you don’t want to be, but fear that you are. It doesn’t matter how rich, beautiful or famous you are; as long as your fear that people can see your Shadow, you will be insecure.
SHADOW SELF EP is an exploration of those areas of our psyche we are avoiding. It’s a courageous answer to the calling of the soul to know thyself, and knowing thyself can only be done by facing the things we don’t want to face about ourselves. It is in the inner work that lies magic we all are looking for.
Magnum Opus is The Great Work in an alchemical term, used to describe a single greatest work of an artist, writer, or a composer. In psychological terms, Magnum Opus can be used to describe the hardest challenge every person has in front of them in their lives – to face their fears and overcome them.
A great representation of the unknown, the darkness and the shadow, in my opinion, is the ocean and its depths. Humans only have discovered 5% of the vast ocean depths. We don’t know what awaits us to find in the total darkness of the deep sea. “Warper” is a representation of depths of unexplored unconscious mind, through the the images of deep sea creatures, so different to ones we know from the visible land. In the world of total darkness these creatures adapted to survive and thrive. Scary and fascinating at the same time, they show us incredible designs of nature. Would you dive 2km+ deep to see those creatures with your own eyes, or you’d be devoured by thalassophobia?
