This book is geared
to opening up the ego mind to see how everyday people can change their
lives by working with their perceptions and energies. By using specific
energies to shift perception, a person can actually change their physical
reality. “The Path” provides an in-depth discussion of the
energy beyond the human physical body, presented with believable logic
and wisdom that belies an authentic experience.
Arana graciously
takes the reader into a fascinating universe of knowledge achieved
by her comparison, analysis, and experience of the Warrior’s
Way and Alcoholics Anonymous. Even though this book entails another
explanation, or path, to achieve enlightenment, nirvana, or to become
a "living myth," the intricacies of sorcery and the innate
wisdom of A.A. are delineated with an intriguing clarity and perception.
“The Path” is certainly a very practical, yet new vehicle
in which to reach a higher knowledge, and, from this viewpoint transcendence
can then be realized.

_________
THE PATH is a veritable
treasure trove of insight into the dynamic nature of
human consciousness and the greater reality, and of course into the mysterious
interaction between these two great extremes: between us
imperfect human beings and our higher selves,
between the mortal and the divine, and between human minds and
unseen negative influences. Full of hope and of practical
ways to overcome negative urges and influences. Well thought out and
beautifully written. Outstanding and highly recommended reading!

Fresh New Insights
Into Sorcery, Addiction & Perception:
Esmeralda
Arana's educational and entertaining book, THE PATH, is packed with
amazing revelations about the similarities between the Alcoholics
Anonymous (AA) Twelve Step Program, Carlos Castaneda's Warrior's Way,
Robert Monroe's Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), and Gurdjieff's concept
of hypnotic sleep. The key to transforming your life is in transforming
your perception of reality. You can change channels in your life from
one reality to another just like changing channels on TV, by tuning
in to a different perceptual station with sufficient energy and intent.
Arana describes her fascinating experiences with lucid dreaming and
some of the side-effects of lucid dreaming (such as hearing voices,
and knowing intimate and seemingly unknowable details about others).
THE PATH is intensely practical and transformative. I highly recommend
this book for its excellent down-to-Earth writing, original ideas,
and fascinating insights into how you can make small shifts in perception
in order to make big changes in your life.

The Path is a courageous
account of personal evolution on a Path of the Heart. It is a new
dream for the world, enabling the transposition of shamanic teachings
into a wider context than one would immediately perceive. Arana's
writing style is clear and eloquent. Her methods for the practical
application of shamanic techniques will have an undoubted appeal to
Carlos Castaneda enthusiasts worldwide.
As we rapidly approach
the predicted end of a Maya time cycle in 2012AD, it is vital that
humanity walks a path that honours its inherent guardianship of the
planet as true warriors of Spirit- this book opens that path.

Esmeralda
Arana picks up where Carlos Castaneda leaves off. With a wisdom born
from her own healing journey she takes us into a world most of us
have never dreamt of before. A must read for all serious students
of shamanism and sorcery.

_________
The Path is a practical approach to sorcery with story, strategies
and exercises. The manuscript touches on telepathy, telekinesis, lucid
dreaming and alternate realities--connecting with the spirit and higher
power, while intertwining experiences with those practical guidelines
and exercises found at an A.A. meeting. I think the manuscript will
appeal to a large audience of mature readers. This is something unique
and new that will spark interest in outsiders as well. Those people
interested in sorcery will add the book to their growing collection.
Those readers curious about A.A. and its process will find this useful
as well. This was an interesting book--one of a kind.
