Self-Improvement and Interesting Knowledge

I was honored to receive an invitation from James, the esteemed curator of the Perseus Arcane Academy site, to participate in a unique and innovative text-based interview. As someone who is generally extremely reserved when it comes to media appearances, I was intrigued by his vision for a completely digital conversation.

As I delved into the academy’s website, I was delighted to discover the impressive caliber of work being showcased. The comprehensive resources on energy work, magic, hermeticism, Kabbalah, and numerous other esoteric subjects are truly remarkable.

I highly recommend the Perseus Arcane Academy site to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in these fascinating areas. For those interested in reading my interview with James, please visit the following link.

  2. Dear John,

    Thank you for sharing this incredibly insightful interview with us. You continue to be a profound source of inspiration for me. One of the topics you discussed—psychic self-defense—stood out deeply. I read your book on the subject two years ago. While I recognized its validity and direct approach, I initially found it challenging to work with energy in the way you described. The practices didn’t resonate with me at the time.

    However, the essence of that book went far beyond the techniques and exercises. For me, it was the concept of the “vampiric mindset” and its implications that not only saved my life but made me feel like the luckiest person in the world. I adapted this mindset to my own circumstances, blending it with what I was experiencing. Though I faced situations that many would label as acute traumas, not only did I survive—I thrived. Rising from those experiences, I became stronger than ever.

    The vampiric mindset, at least for me, has been transformative. It allows me to perceive reality in a way that’s both empowering and liberating. By embodying this perspective 24/7, I’ve learned not to take emotional, psychic, or other attacks personally. Instead, I see them as energy, ripe for transformation. I don’t know if you’ll believe this, but applying this mindset in all areas of my life—be it romantic relationships or professional challenges—has turned miracles into an everyday occurrence. Answers to pressing questions seem to reveal themselves effortlessly. Those who sought to harm or undermine me have found themselves depleted, while the negative energy they directed at me has become a wellspring of power and resilience within me.

    This shift has given me the ability to move through life unscathed by external influences. Nowadays, the process feels automatic—an inner mechanism that absorbs and transforms energy without conscious effort. Those who once crossed my boundaries now seem to respect and even fear the resilience they perceive in me. You’ve helped me stand in my power, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

    Your teachings have changed my life in ways I could never have anticipated. I’ve never intended harm to others, but before embracing this mindset, I often allowed people to abuse me, mistakenly thinking that I was powerless. Now, they understand that isn’t the case. You’ve taught me to see energy as it flows around me, and with this perception has come an immense sense of relief and freedom.

    Thank you, truly, for everything. Your books, videos, and blog posts have made a lasting impact on my life, and I’m forever appreciative.
