@@youmemeyouFrom my personal experience and esoteric studies, one is recommended to follow a path from the philosophy of their origin because it will resonate better and be more of that person's nature. That does not mean you can not choose to study other paths ( that's why there is theosophy) but overall this channel seems to describe more western tradition. However, I agree that doesn't mean the eastern tradition books presented aren't exceptional too. Good point you made though for sure.
I thank you sir, the great Mr. Foolish Fish, for this honor. Your appreciation of the work that I do is a great boon to the effort. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year!

"Consorting With Spirits" was a real treat. I was glad they had an audio book. Spirits are probably my favorite topic in occultism, so I found it very useful. It gives you some practical advice that a lot of works don't touch on, not just techniques but also common pit falls. I was able to go out into a forest and contact a local spirit. I was able to confirm that I was actually communicating with something when a spirit told me to go to a specific location in the forest to find a specific object.

Big agree, the only book I have out of the bunch (hardcovers are a bit out of my reach :D) and I loved it start to finish.
The Kabbalistic Tree... I'm only about a hundred pages in so far (just got it a couple of days ago) and I absolutely agree with it being included in your top ten. Wonderful read and the images are incredibly fascinating. Happy New Year to you and your family. Your genuine kindness is truly a breath of fresh air. And I thank you for it and this channel. May peace always be upon your path and within your heart.
Your passion and enthusiasm for these books is infectious and its hard to imagine a better representative to bring these treasures to light. Thank you and happy new year.
William Swygard's Awareness Techniques book contains a simple exercise, easily learned, to explore other dimensions and expand one's realities/consciousness.
Always inspired by your knowledge and love for wisdom!
