THE SECRET CODE CREATION

About the Author
Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was
drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope
by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but
became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the
universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has
pursued a writing career.
Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of
magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system
of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will
help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.
