Tetralogy of a Shaman is an anthology tracing the arc in the life of a shaman- right through from initiation, to philosophy, embodiment, and the psychology of the transformation.
The four volumes move as one sustained inquiry:
EUNOIA starts “medias res” in the circumstances of a near-death experience. It then proceeds to capture the initiation. It is deeply personal of the four books- almost biographical. I bled on the page here;
PRINCIPIA articulates the philosophy that emerged from it. It’s explores an existential crisis and its sequelae- answering the questions- where am I? Who am I? And what is my purpose? Thrown in deep metaphorical waters I had to decide to either drown as a psychotic, or delight in swimming- like a mystic (to steal a Joseph Campbell quote);
YOGA NIDRA explores how that philosophy is lived and embodied. In this offering, I examine the world’s religions and belief systems in general. A cosmic impromptu play being dreamt by Vishnu is the premise- setting the gods against humans in a divine play. Is the play a comedy or a tragedy? You tell me; and
RE-MEMBER descends into the psychological architecture beneath it all. It examines shamanic existence through a Jungian psychology lens, again playfully using the story of the dismembering of Osiris by Set, and subsequent re-membering by Isis as the basis.
The anthology is narrated through a singular and unlikely lens, that of a medical doctor by training and a shaman by calling. The reluctant cartographer of the unseen, is tasked with mapping the liminal terrain, but without the goddess Hecate to hold the torch, like she did with Demeter in the search for Persephone. So, a lot of the heavy lifting is done through examining lived experience, and direct transmission from the spiritual realms. There is a tension between the scientific upbringing, and the new paradigm presented by otherworldly interactions.
As the narration unfolds, there is an increasing recognition that the maps science offers, while indispensable, do not cover the full territory of human experience.
Drawing from African spirituality, Christian mysticism, Hindu philosophy, Jungian depth psychology, and modern physics, the tetralogy refuses the false boundary between science and mysticism. To him, they are the same clouds being pointed at from different perspectives.
Each tradition is treated not as a destination but as a partial map- fragments of a larger, coherent whole that the series works, volume by volume, to assemble.
At its heart, Tetralogy of a Shaman is an exploration of consciousness, identity, and the nature of reality itself- told not as doctrine, but as a life.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed living the experiences, receiving the transmissions, and doing the research.

Since January 2024, when he published Eunoia, Dr Bobbie has mentored several aspiring healers at different stages of their spiritual journeys. In March of 2026, he finally published the remaining three books of the Tetralogy namely- Principia- his proudest achievement, Yoga Nigra- his somewhat controversial take on religious systems, and ultimately Re-member- the crowning glory.
