Neil Kramer is a British philosopher and esotericist. His work focuses principally on spirituality, mysticism, and metaphysics. Neil explores the relationship between inner development and the many social and cultural factors that influence our everyday lives. Attention is drawn to embracing truth, confronting the negative, and transforming self. Neil shares his ideas in writings, recordings, interviews, lectures, private consulting, and workshops. He is a popular guest on leading alternative radio and internet shows, and has been broadcast on television networks in the US, Canada, Britain, and Europe. Neil has spoken at numerous international conferences, including Beyond Knowledge, The ARC Convention, Transitional Alchemy, Awakening Conference, New Living Expo, and The Transformation Conference. Neil lives in the USA, dividing his time between Oregon, Washington, and New York. He spends much of his time learning, teaching, and traveling. Neil Kramer was born Nolan Salmon, in 1972, in Greater Manchester, England. He attended high school and then art college in the neighboring county of Cheshire. He went on to spend many years working in the software industry, before finally devoting himself full-time to his enduring passion for mysticism. Neil is a self-avowed autodidact, almost entirely self-taught and self-directed, with broad experiential knowledge of interconnected philosophical, spiritual, mystical, Hermetic, and alchemical disciplines – all of which he uses to formulate his cosmology and practice. He has spent time with several orders dedicated to the wisdom of the ancient world. Neil’s synthesis of spiritual wisdom, social critique, anti-authoritarianism, deep knowledge-base, inventive language, and no-nonsense approach, has helped to develop his reputation as a widely respected figure in mystical, spiritual, and alternative communities. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Neil+Kramer">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
