⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Dirk Bruere presents a compelling, if polarizing, volume that merges technological paradigms with magical practice. While the concept of using NLP and hypnosis for reality modification is intriguing, the speculative 'statistical argument' may feel unsubstantiated to traditionalists. This book does NOT suit readers seeking purely historical occult texts or those uncomfortable with mixing science fiction-like concepts with serious esoteric work. It is best appreciated by those open to redefining magic through a technological lens. The practical advice is clear, but the theoretical underpinnings require an accepting mindset. It is a bold attempt to update the magician's toolkit for the digital age, though its appeal remains niche.
