Looking forward to it! Are any of your other books required reading to understand this one?

Without some familiarity with Kabbalah/Qabalah, Kashmir Shaivism, astrology, and QM, parts of the book will be challenging reading. FYI, I live in Tijuana, and we commonly refer to our town as TJ.

Ah, I didn’t know that – it also happens to be my nickname. I’m also in Mexico for the first time currently. Thanks for the suggested topics to look into more.
