The Magnum Opus, A Step by Step Course: 1 (The Magnum Opus Trilogy) Paperback – Import, 1 January 2019

If you want to learn ways to absorb and conserve energy and also ways to make your own philosopher's stone, then this book shows you how you can do that.

Kreiters "Magnum Opus" is the usual helping of a few useful nuggets that attempt to lull you into a false sense of security so he can sell you an absolute crock of sheet.One of these is a version of the microcosmic orbit, which Kreiter interestingly never refers to as such.In fact, oddly for one speaking on behalf of "alchemists", Kreiter never says the words "microcosm" or "macrocosm", at all.Probably because as soon as you get into these concepts, the doors are blown off the silly Lovecraftian metaphysical world-view he is promoting.Genuine authors on this subject include the translated works of Charles Luk (bit dry) and Dr Jerry Alan Johnson.You will note that a key element concentrated on by these esteemed authors on the subject is conspicuously absent from Kreiters works: Sublimation of the sexual energy.Kreiter advises you to squander this energy on his website: with awareness mind you, as if that makes any difference.I believe Kreiter is a barely closeted follower of the inverted pentagram playing games with people, as such types like to do, often at the behest of a "PNOB" of some kind, to use his terminology.Pull the other one Kreiter.

Dieses Buch ist Teil 1 von 3 von John Kreiters Kurs zur inneren Alchemie. Und damit Grundlage für die weiteren Titel "the way of the Projectionist" und "the way of the death defier".Das Buch vermittelt interessante Übungen. Im großen und ganzen geht es um das Sammeln von Energie und das Raffinieren bzw. Veredeln derselben, sowie Übungen zur Konzentration und Atemübungen. Außerdem werden die Grundlagen zur Visualisation und Erschaffung von eigenen imaginativen Welten gegeben. Desweiteren wird "the archon" erwähnt. Ein anorganisches Lebewesen, dass sich von den negativen Emotionen der Menschen ernährt.Das System der inneren Alchemie von John Kreiter erinnert mich erfrischend an das Material von Carlos Castaneda, aber mit neuen Techniken ohne Schnickschnack. Im dritten Buch spricht J.K. von einer Gruppe von "spiritual mavericks", denen er angehört. Sie haben über viele Jahre die effektivsten Techniken zum Thema gesucht und ausprobiert. J.K. versprich demnach eine Destillation der wichtigsten effektivsten Techniken und erspart dem Leser langes eigenes Suchen.Das Buchformat ist etwas größer als gewohnt, eher wie ein Fachbuch. Das ist für das lesen im Bett aber grad noch ok. Die farbigen Bilder treiben den Druckpreis in die höhe, sind aber hier und da eine gute Ergänzung. Ich hätte lieber 10€ weniger, dafür ohne farbige Bilder bezahlt.Ich selbst kann das Buch allen empfehlen, die an Magie, Energiearbeit, Carlos Castaneda und vor allem der Exploration menschlicher Grenzen und Grenzwelten interessiert sind.Hier braucht man einen langen Atem, es wird Arbeit. "Eher ein Marathon als ein Sprint." (John Kreiter)

I can't wait your next book

As a philosophical taoist among many other things I may not have gotten far with his exercises as of yet, but I can say that so far, it seems the admission is worth the price, especially if you've read and enjoyed John's other books ESPECIALLY the books of vampire's way to psychic Self Defense and Overthrow the Archon. It, so far, expands upon the previous books. When you get to the first exercises you realize he means business, one of the more difficult thought experiments I've worked with is the very first, intimidating, exercise I've dealt with to date, and trust me when I say that as I've dealt with a lot of very... Unconventional/unscripted... thought experiments in my day in pursuit of my path.I have yet to flesh out the rest of the work and expect to update this review accordingly.If you like John's prior books either buy this or the physical copy, you'll not be disappointed from what I can tell so far. The question you shouldn't ask is IF you should buy it, but, which would more suit your needs? It is a course book proper. Me? I sort of wish I'd bought the physical copy since I'd be able to access it more readily since there are places I can't have my phone.

I've spent an inordinate amount of my personal time digging for answers about the mechanics of Maya. This book along with others penned by this author, are a distillation of practices that I've had to sort through in my own journey but without all the extra static.If you want to find the clearest station on radio, where you can hear the message and immediately start to apply what you learn to your life, than this is the book for you.The many mystery schools teaching these same techniques, are very dangerous in my opinion for any lay person.On the contrary, The Magnum Opus is all about mastering yourself, and does not require that you involve yourself in any precarious rituals that have led many on the path to insanity and self destruction.If you are looking for answers, this work will facilitate the process of getting to know yourself deeply, intimately and courageously.To be completely honest, my life is improving since I started to embody this work and it is going to continue to evolve as I further implement these teachings.I can taste hope again and that is a gift that simply cannot be quantified.All the best!
