Laurence’s comments from the Authors & Reviewers group.

Hi Authors & Reviewers community!

I'm Laurence Galian, a Goodreads Author based in Puebla, Mexico. As an active pianist, composer, and author, I've published books exploring diverse esoteric and metaphysical themes, including Sufism, Aleister Crowley's teachings, the intersections of modern science and the occult, and Gnosticism. My works, such as Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence, Alien Parasites: 40 Gnostic Truths to Defeat the Archon Invasion! and The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis, draw literary inspiration from authors like Robert Anton Wilson, Ibn al-'Arabi, Neil Gaiman, Hermann Hesse, Ted Chiang, and Philip K. Dick.

I'm offering 10-20 free PDF Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) of my upcoming 187-page non-fiction book, Crossing the Forbidden Highway: The Untold Story of Orgone, Body Therapy, and Suppressed Emotion.

This work delves into Wilhelm Reich's orgone therapy, somatic bodywork, breathwork, character analysis, and Radix, while examining the life and influence of his successor Charles R. Kelley—including Kelley's connections to Ayn Rand and how her ideas influenced Kelley to adapt and redirect Reich's fundamental teachings to align more with her heavily armored heroes. It's ideal for readers interested in psychology, alternative health, body-mind therapies, or the evolution of esoteric ideas.

Launch: September 22, 2025, on Amazon KDP, as a paperback and Kindle ebook. In exchange, I'm looking for honest reviews on Amazon and/or Goodreads post-launch—focus on content, themes, engagement, or any insights (no need for grammar/proofreading).

If interested, reply here or message me with why this appeals to you (e.g., your favorite books on metaphysics, bodywork, or occult history). I'll send the PDF privately via email or Goodreads.

Thanks for supporting indie authors—excited to hear your thoughts!

Best,
Laurence Galian
