Greetings,I was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Between 1992-1995, a war in my country changed the course of my life forever. As a result, I came to Toronto in 1994 as a war refugee.I led a seemingly normal life in Canada for many years until October 2004, when I had a spontaneous Kundalini awakening. This radical, intense Spiritual experience turned my life upside down from day one. After all, once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no putting it back in. My old life had ended with that event, and I slowly began transforming into something different and more advanced on all levels—an interdimensional Being of Light. One of the first gifts to manifest in my life was the unfoldment of new creative expressions. Visionary painting, inspired acting and comedy, and expressions through poetry and musical lyrics entered my life as I allowed this newfound creative energy to channel through me. Knowledge and understanding of the hidden mysteries of life and Creation inspired my tone of speaking and writing on Spiritual topics. A new thirst for expressing these truths evolved inside me as my consciousness continued to expand as a result of the Kundalini energy awakened within me. This energy propelled me to the "Fourth Dimension," the "Dimension of Vibration" (or Energy). I started to operate on a higher level as I was experiencing energies around me, which transformed me into a total empath and telepath. I began Lucid Dreaming daily and visiting strange, never-before-seen lands while embodying my newly activated Body of Light and exhibiting powers in my dreams reminiscent of Marvel superheroes. I also underwent a complete visual upgrade that enabled me to see the Holographic nature of the world daily, which is a jaw-dropping experience to this day. As the years went by, my memory of who I used to be dissipated as the inner Light was remodelling my consciousness so that I could function entirely through intuition. This part of the transformation process prompted me to live in the present moment, the Now, continually, allowing me to tap into my highest potential as a Spiritual human being.These are some gifts that unfolded after awakening the Kundalini and raising it to the Crown. However, it was not all sunshine and rainbows for the first little while. Quite the contrary, an initial purging period occurs in spontaneously awakened people like myself who were unprepared for such a profound, life-altering experience. The first negative expression manifested seemingly right away as unfounded fear and anxiety. It didn't matter what I was doing; I had a general sense of nervousness that never seemed to subside. Since the Kundalini rose to the Crown, completing the awakening process, the Chakras were blown open systematically, making them all function simultaneously. As such, many debilitating mind expressions manifested, like scattered thoughts, the inability to focus my attention, and highs and lows in my emotions that led to utterly neurotic behaviour that I had no control over. Awakening the Kundalini and raising it into the brain was a massive blow to my Ego, which began holding on for dear life as it was being eradicated from my consciousness. A general sense of apathy took over as I was lost and confused with no one to turn to for help. However, something inside me told me it was all for the greater good, which made me confident and determined to find answers and overcome this inner negativity. After all, I knew what happened to me was a gift, even though I was seemingly living a curse. And so I began looking for a viable method to help me heal Spiritually. I tried meditation, Crystals, Reiki, and other healing modalities, but nothing seemed to do the job. And lo and behold, after a year of searching, I came across a Western Mystery School called the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn course of study included learning about esoteric subjects like the Qabalah, Hermeticism, Astrology, Tarot, Alchemy, and much more. However, their Spiritual practice of Ceremonial Magick truly piqued my interest since it sounded exactly like what I needed. Since I was fully awakened to the world of pure energy, I needed to cleanse and tune my Chakras while removing negative Karmic energy from my Aura. And Ceremonial Magick was designed to do just that. It purified each Chakra via the Elemental ritual exercises and proved to be an invaluable tool in my overall Spiritual evolution with the Kundalini energy over the years. As the Kundalini inner fire did its thing daily, I would assist it by isolating different parts of my Aura to work with through Ceremonial Magick, allowing me to remove any blockages and stagnations from my energy system. This permitted the Kundalini Light to shine brightly within me, continuing its work of transforming me in mind, body, and Soul.I practised Ceremonial Magick every day for five years within the Golden Dawn, fully mastering its system in the process. I was such a firm believer in the system that I was excited to share this sacred art with others in need right from the start. And so, I taught Magick to many people who required Spiritual cleansing. Some were Kundalini awakened individuals, some were friends, and others were people I met on the street who wanted to evolve Spiritually. After finishing the Golden Dawn curriculum, I even spent two years leading a sanctuary here in Toronto and sharing my expertise with them.As the Divine would have it, I started going public with my knowledge and experience with the Kundalini and Magick. My first written work was an article for the ICR Newsletter discussing my journey with the Kundalini and Ceremonial Magick's impact on my Spiritual evolution. Next, I had an appearance on a local Spiritual radio show where I again had the same message for people. Finally, however, I found my home within the Kundalini Consortium blog and continued to write articles for years. The Kundalini Consortium is involved in the scientific study of the Kundalini energy as it pertains to expanding consciousness and evolving humanity. As time went by, my purpose in life became clear. My mission, nay, my solemn duty, is to serve as a messenger to the people regarding the Kundalini energy and its ties to the myriad of esoteric subjects I learned and experienced on my vast and intricate Spiritual journey. Thus, in 2016, I began working extensively on four bodies of work, the first of which ("The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn") was published in late 2019. I published this book first because I wanted Kundalini awakened individuals to have the same tools I had to combat the negativity they may be undergoing. "The Magus" features all of my learned knowledge and experience, as I tie in the Western system of Ceremonial Magick with the Eastern system of Chakras and the Kundalini. My second body of work, "Serpent Rising: The Kundalini Compendium," was published in early 2022. This book, hailed as "The World's Most Comprehensive Body of Work on Human Energy Potential," features everything you need to know on the Kundalini, including the science of bioenergy crossed with human anatomy, a complete course on Yoga and Tantra, Crystals, Aromatherapy, Tuning Forks, Tattwas, Merkaba Mysteries, and so much more. This massive work was becoming so big during my two-plus years of research that I broke it up into two parts and am continuing the Kundalini exploration journey in "Serpent Rising II: Kundalini in the Ancient World" by examining the Spiritual traditions of our Ancestors and their symbology with relation to this subject. My autobiography, "Man of Light," is conveyed through a trilogy of novels, which I will begin releasing after the second part of "Serpent Rising." Finally, "Cosmic Star-Child" will be my final planned book for which I have been travelling the world to Ancient sites to find clues about our human origins and the role that Extra-terrestrials played in our development over the years. These four bodies of work are the pinnacle of my 17-year journey with the Kundalini and my gift to people worldwide experiencing an awakening.
