Fun fact
Morley excels at demystifying complex tantric concepts, making them accessible without diluting their power. The 'mindfulness of dream and sleep' protocol is a standout contribution, offering a structured yet flexible path. However, readers seeking purely scientific or neurological explanations may find the spiritual undertones too prominent. It firmly occupies the niche of practical spirituality, serving as a vital bridge between esoteric tradition and modern self-help. A must-have for the serious occultist or yogi.

Worth every penny

This exceeded my expectations. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Definitely recommend.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Solid, if not essential.

Good addition to the shelf

Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. You can tell why this work has endured. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Great value for what you get.
