Mystical Warrior is an approach to human development that both integrates and moves beyond the spiritual traditions many of us are familiar with. In particular this approach to personal transformation seeks to marry the ways of wisdom, action and magic—if by wisdom we mean true knowledge of the whole gained through direct experience; and if by action we mean conscious behavior; and if by magic we mean that which reason alone can neither comprehend nor explain.Based of the Way of Action, an offshoot of Sufism, founded by Fazal Inayat-Khan in the late 1970’s-early 80’s, this work draws on many streams beyond Sufi sources, from Jung to Castaneda, from the TaoTe Ching to Quantum theory, from the Buddha to Christian mystics, from sacred medicine to the creative imagination.
