  1. Stop Finding a Niche — Start Finding Yourself

    Stop Finding a Niche — Start Finding Yourself

    What if the problem isn’t that you haven’t found your niche…but that you’ve forgotten yourself? In this thing, that some people call an episode, I talk about deleting 400+ hours of work,walking away from strategies, thumbnails, categories,and reclaiming the only voice that actually matters — the real one. This isn’t creator advice. It’s a manifesto ( scary word to use ) about identity, destiny, and authenticity in a world that constantly asks you to shrink. If you’ve ever felt pressured to specialize, to fit into a box, or to perform a version of yourself that never felt right…this episode might be for you. Stop searching for a niche. Start searching for who you were before the world tried to organize you. Everything else is dust.

    Bob Monroe, the CIA, and the Out-of-Body History of the Monroe Institute

    What do you get when a 1950s radio exec accidentally astral projects, patents brainwave-syncing audio tech, and ends up training U.S. Army personnel to leave their bodies? You get this episode.Today we try explore the mind-bending true story of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute — the birthplace of Hemi-Sync, the Gateway Process, and one of the weirdest crossovers between science, spirituality, and national security.We’ll cover:Monroe’s spontaneous out-of-body experiences (OBEs)How binaural beats became a consciousness-hacking toolThe Army’s use of the “Gateway Process” during the Cold WarDeclassified CIA documents that sound like Marvel scriptsWhether the Gateway Program actually ended — or just went deeper undergroundAnd why your Tuesday night meditation might be built on a once-classified military experimentPart brain science, part X-Files, part idiot mystic — this episode is a good primer for anyone who’s curious about the limits of consciousness, the strangeness of history, and why the U.S. government once funded headphone-powered soul travel.This might be one of the last videos like this for a while, I think something much different is coming.I hope you understand that I am trying to lay the building blocks for you of what I know and how I think, so we can see things through a similarly colored lens.

  3. Vulnerability, Love, and Sacred Intimacy

    NOV 8

    Vulnerability, Love, and Sacred Intimacy

    There’s a kind of love that makes you feel seen—and another kind that makes you want to hide.This episode is about that second kind.The one that sees through your armor, the one that knows when you’re pretending to be okay. The kind that doesn’t look away.When we say we want intimacy, what we often mean is: we want to be known, but not too much.Because to be seen fully is to stand without defense—to let someone witness the parts of you that aren’t edited or eloquent. It’s terrifying because it asks for surrender, not performance.This is a reflection on love, safety, and the nervous system.On how we build our identity around being composed, only to find that love wants the trembling version instead.It’s about learning to unclench, one truth at a time—to let connection become the place where healing begins.🎙️ Topics: Vulnerability, Intimacy, Emotional Healing, Love, Fear, Psychology, Spiritual Growth🎧 Listen when: you’re overthinking love, when you’re scared of being known, or when you need to remember that tenderness isn’t weakness.If you want some stuff to read stop by www.idiotmystic.com or if you're looking for an actual conversation about things join our Discord.

  4. Why Witches Always Find Me – A Meditation Teacher’s Encounters with the Occult

    NOV 7

    Why Witches Always Find Me – A Meditation Teacher’s Encounters with the Occult

    People are usually surprised when I tell them that many of my clients are witches. They wait for a punchline, a warning—something to make it safer to believe. But it’s true. From the rural Midwest to the deserts of Arizona to the temples and backstreets of Thailand, witchcraft has crossed my path more times than I can count. I’m a Muslim, a meditation teacher, and a counselor. I never sought these encounters ( maybe I did? ), but they found me anyway. And somewhere between psychology and the unseen, I learned that what most people call “magic” often begins as pain, longing, and the need to be seen. This episode isn’t about proving or disproving witchcraft. It’s about the people who practice it—and the human stories behind the spells. The women ( and everyone ) reclaiming power after silence. The seekers trying to speak with something that listens back. And the thin veil between healing and harm that I’ve had to walk for years. Faith is its own armor, and I’ve learned that surrender protects better than fear. Whether you call it energy, the unseen, or the Creator—the truth moves through all of it. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sit across from someone who swears they’ve seen the other side… this is me trying to tell that story. If...yes another if, you're looking for somethign to read check out www.idiotmystic.com and for soundbaths that I can't upload here, there's always the YouTube channel. I hope you're well.

  5. On love and holy longing.

    NOV 3

    On love and holy longing.

    There’s a kind of pain that doesn’t scream.It hums quietly beneath the surface of your days — a dull ache that appears when you see love expressed in the world but not yet reflected in your own life.This isn’t emptiness.It’s remembering love — the love you were built for, the love that still lives inside you.In this reflection, we explore what mystic writer Mirabai Starr calls holy longing — the deep ache that comes from remembering something infinite while living in a finite world.It’s the ache of being full of love in a world that doesn’t always know what to do with it.You are not broken for wanting love.You are remembering it.The pain in your chest is proof of depth — the sign of a heart still awake, still capable of reverence.themes:– longing as memory of love– the sacred side of sensitivity– how pain becomes prayer– emotional depth as spiritual intelligence🎧 listen when:– you miss someone or something you can’t name– you feel “too sensitive” for the modern world– you want to remember that your ache is holy, not hopeless📖 “To be awake is to ache. The ache isn’t a flaw — it’s the soul remembering what it’s made of.”

  6. The Sacredness of Irn-Bru

    The Sacredness of Irn-Bru

    It’s ridiculous, really, at least from where I'm sitting, which is a creaky chair, to find something spiritual in a can of soda.And yet, here we are.This is a meditation on Irn-Bru...not just as a drink, but as a reminder that joy doesn’t always have to be pure, or perfect, or earned. Sometimes it’s sugar-free, fluorescent, and unapologetically alive.We spend our lives chasing meaning through suffering, silence, and self-improvement. But what if holiness can also hide in pleasure? What if divinity lives in the fizz, the color, the absurdity of being human?This isn’t a brand deal. ( I WISH...I think this is indicative of a problem...but this drink tastes unreal )It’s a love letter. ( ugh...me and the romance )To Irn-Bru.To savoring the unnecessary.To the kind of happiness you can’t optimize...only notice.Being alive doesn’t have to be profound to be sacred.Weirder than usual...I know.Come say hi on Discord or www.idiotmystic.com.I'm always around, I think.

  7. Society Is Abusing You

    OCT 15

    Society Is Abusing You

    You’re not imagining it. Modern life really does feel like an abusive relationship...one where you’re constantly gaslit into believing the problem is you. This two-hour rant ( which took longer to record than I had hoped ) traces that pattern across every part of life: work that drains you, schools that train obedience over imagination, media that monetizes outrage, food that makes you sick, and tech that tracks every breath while calling it convenience.From a psychological and spiritual perspective, this isn't some kind of coincidence. Society runs on the same abuse cycle: tension, explosion, reconciliation, calm. Stress builds, people burn out, the system offers quick fixes...and we repeat the loop. Every “solution” keeps you just functional enough to keep feeding the machine.I like trying to help people break that spell. You’ll see how burnout is ritualized, how schooling grooms compliance, how algorithms literally steer emotion, how advertising creates wounds to sell bandages, and how the modern world keeps you exhausted, sedated, and addicted. You’ll also see that there’s a way out...small, human acts that steal your power back: cooking a meal from scratch, resting without guilt, turning your phone gray, and remembering what real presence feels like.Running away from society works sometimes.But refusing to be programmed by it is better.Each moment of awareness, rest, and love becomes rebellion. Each act of care is resistance.This video wasn't made because I think it's the best thing out there.It's one of the bricks I'm laying in a foundation.So I can get to the bricks higher up in the tower.And talk about the things I've been wanting to for a long time.I apologize for the lack of constant stimuli in the video, I know it's better for retention.But like I said...I'm just laying bricks.If you want to talk more about it, you know where to find me.There's a discord link in the bio.And you can also get in touch on www.idiotmystic.com.Thank you for being you.AUDIO :Almost in F - Tranquillity by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100394Artist: http://incompetech.com/Fluidscape by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100393Artist: http://incompetech.com/Light Awash by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100175Artist: http://incompetech.com/

  8. I Counsel People Who See UFOs, Shadow People & Visions

    I Counsel People Who See UFOs, Shadow People & Visions

    I never set out to be a counselor for the strange and unexplainable...but as I taught meditation, continued my psychology education and opened myself to counseling work, a pattern formed. People didn’t just bring stress or heartbreak. They brought UFO sightings, shadow figures in doorways, mantis beings in dreams, voices with no bodies, premonitions that came true.These weren’t “fringe” people. They were parents, professionals, students. And they weren’t looking for someone to prove or disprove their stories... they were looking for someone who wouldn’t laugh. Someone to listen.This video is about what it’s like to sit with experiencers. How hearing enough of these stories softens your categories of science, spirituality, and psychology. How history is full of experiencers, in the form of shamans, saints, mystics, who had ritual frameworks to hold their visions, while today’s experiencers drift without containers.I talk about sleep paralysis, archetypes, Carl Jung, mantis beings, grays, and shadow people but mostly I talk about the power of witnessing without judgment. Because empathy can sometimes dissolve shame faster than explanation.It’s also about me...ewww I know and how listening to these stories has reshaped my own sense of reality. Certainty is brittle. Mystery is fertile. And maybe, in witnessing others, we start to touch a truth that doesn’t need proof to be felt.If you want to talk about your experiences...or really anything else, you're welcome to stop by our Discord server.https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMOr if you prefer my unsolicited rants in written form, there is a blog on www.idiotmystic.com and a contact form. I'll warn you though...there are typos. If you made it to the end of this...I truly hope you're well, should I have said that at the start?
