      A really good book, outlining clear and good concepts for the modern man. We often lack male role models these days, and live in a materialistic society where men are ranked only by how much money, luxury and sex they can access. This book goes deeper and insists, correctly, that a man is defined by his spirit, intellect, physical culture and relationship to his society.

      I warmly recommend its sections on self-reflection and the cultivation of mental energy, direction and will, even though I find some of its advice unscientific, as I do not believe in magical concepts of "Ki" or vague energy. Furthermore, the author's views on women are, at times, a bit dated. However, there is still great value in this book in that it teaches a forgotten, uncommon method of manhood-as-honor-and-morals, as opposed to the more frequent manhood-as-glorified-greed-and-lust.

      4/5, for some sections delving a bit too much into magic, rather than tangible physical phenomena, for my taste.

    I was born in the darkest of ignorance and the Master has opened my eyes with the torchlight of knowledge, it is unto such a Master I offer all respect.

    -THE VEDAS

    Mr Cooper Ali-Shabazz has worked as a life coach, self-defence instructor, philosopher and gentleman’s etiquette advocate since the 1990s.

    Born in Brooklyn, USA, he started training in warrior arts from an early age as a way to combat the violence of growing up on the streets of New York.

    Through four decades, he has travelled extensively as a personal bodyguard, security consultant, public speaker, actor, teacher and student.

    Shabazz has trained in several different martial arts and also studied with many great fighting men, including veterans from the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean and Vietnam wars.

    His achievements include:

    • 2002 ISKA 1st place Self-defence Black Belt division Australasian title

    • 2000 Martial Arts Games – 1st and 2nd place winner respectively

    • 2000 National All Styles 2nd place Black belt Division, Queensland

    • 1999 World Cup of Martial Arts Gold Medal.

    When he is not writing, Shabazz still consults to the security industry, operates his self-defence academy in Brisbane, Australia, is a prolific public speaker on philosophy and religion and spends time with his growing children.

    Dedication

    I dedicate this book to my parents, my extended family, my children, Azeem, Princess Imani, Zeniya-Mia, students and friends. May you find your path to further growth and enlightenment. I love you and am here to encourage you.

    This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge because it gives direct perception of the self by realisation.

    Acknowledgements

    The idea of this book has been on my mind for five years. It is the second part of the Warrior Trilogy, and I am excited that it is finally complete.

    Firstly I wish to pay respects to three of the many masters whom I have personally met and whose teachings have profoundly influenced my intelligence and personal growth: my spiritual mentor Srila Prabhupada, kung fu master Sifu Alan Lee and karate instructor Master Warhawk Tanzania Osceola.

    I also pay respects to many Masters whom I have not met but whose teachings I have studied and apply in my life.

    From their wisdom I have attained deep spiritual realisations, great health, physical and mental strength. Without them I would not be the man I am nor would I be able to further evolve into the man I wish to be.

    I also acknowledge the help of Ms Emma Louise Frost for helping me make this publication possible. Thank you, Emma Louise.

    I continually encourage my students undertaking the Warrior Mystic’s journey. I am proud and humbled by your advancement and personal growth on this path. Remain fixed and resolute in purpose and you will reap the rewards of your endeavours. Of this there is no doubt!

    Mr. Cooper Ali-Shabazz

    Throughout this book you will find the word Warrior beside the word Mystic without losing any of their historic and noble meaning.

    A Warrior is an ancient description of a special type of man in many cultures. A man who sees himself as such knows he is different from other men. It is evident by his manner and demeanor. He knows this is his calling.

    A Mystic is a person with unique perception and understanding of the principles of thought, mind, spirituality, Metaphysics and the power derived from such knowledge.

    Warrior Mysticism is the combination of physical strength and confidence coupled with mental powers and abilities.

    This book is my humble attempt to explain these Ancient truths.

    Introduction

    If the title of this book has grabbed your attention then I applaud you because your curiosity of things Mystical and your thirst for higher knowledge shall now be satisfied. As a seeker of higher knowledge, I challenge you to open your mind to the possibility that you can become more powerful than you ever imagined. Through study of the ancient, metaphysical concepts outlined in this book, you will become an uncommon man, a lion among men, a leader, a commander and chief, he who has his mind and senses under his control. You will also have the ability to move other people toward positive action.

    The exercises and Philosophy contained within this book are not new; in fact they are very ancient and are gathered from a variety of sources; from my Martial Arts masters, my spiritual mentors and studying many cultures from Ancient Civilisations to present day. Different abilities will be acquired on the mental, physical, emotional and psychological level. Simply keep an open mind and believe that it is possible to become strong and powerful. Just as a man who lifts weights becomes muscular and strong after years of practice, in time, a few days, weeks, months or years, depending on your belief, determination, time and facility, you too will become endowed with internal strength and ability that the common man simply does not possess. Practice the exercises that appeal to you, start out with one and you will notice a difference in your person in a very short while. Persist, be determined to be different, do not allow your mind, other people or circumstances to distract and deter you from your path to enlightenment, greater strength and Mystical ability.

    Once you have decided to walk the Mystic’s path to further enlightenment remain ever vigilant and as sure as the sun rises and sets every day you will reap the benefits of your endeavours.

    I wish you well on this journey.

    I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge both phenomenal and numinous. This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know.
