THE BOOKThe Path of The Warrior-Mystic: Being A Man In An Age of Chaos will be released by Inner Traditions in November 2021. In it, I explore the challenges facing men today, how to overcome them, and how to develop yourself as a man. As the title suggests, the book itself sets out a path of self-realization. Moving from an understanding of the warrior and chivalry, the book’s journey leads the reader to becoming both the creator of his own life and an example to others. Along the way, we explore ancient mythology, psychology, philosophy, meditation, dealing with stressful situations, turning disadvantages into advantages, and sex, among other things. THE AUTHORBorn and raised in England, I developed an early interest in religion, spirituality, and mysticism, and fell into the alternative spiritual world of that country at around the age of seventeen. While I learned many types of meditation and related consciousness-based techniques of self-transformation, I nevertheless rejected much of what I saw. By the age of twenty, I had become interested in both Eastern and Western spirituality and soon began staying in a Benedictine monastery on an annual basis. Around the same time, I was also studying fine art and Nam Pai Chuan Shaolin Kung Fu. (You may have noticed that these pursuits can be aligned to the three archetypal vocations of craftsman (fine art), Kung Fu (warrior), and meditation and an interest in religion and spirituality (magician or sage).
