Idiot Mystic

I seem to have really gone off the deep when you look at the kind of videos I'm making...but I'm a good swimmer.Look, no human-made system is ever going to outdo the system, the one that governs everything: time, action, consequence, life itself. But that doesn't stop people from trying. Every self-help guru, productivity hacker, and business coach is out here selling you the system. The one that promises success, clarity, and maybe abs if you just follow it exactly.But here's what I think the truth is : they didn't follow a system. They stumbled, stole, remixed, and tweaked their way to something that worked, then they repackaged it to sell to you.This mini-rant is about breaking out of the cycle of dependency on other people's blueprints and learning how to build your own. Because real system-building isn't a five-step formula; it's messy, chaotic, and, most importantly, yours. So if you're tired of searching for the answer and ready to start asking better questions, this might be something you want to watch.If you want to interact more...because we can do that, check out the blog on www.idiotmystic.com, find us on your favorite social platform ( IG, Tik Tok ) or come talk to us on the Discord app where someone is being a person, 24/7.

Did you know you already possess a secret superpower? It's called metacognition...the incredible ability to think about your own thinking.Explaining metacognition might sound simple, but in my experience facilitating over 1,000 hours of meditation for clients, it's consistently the most life-changing technique I've encountered.In this episode ( if that is what these are ) , I try to get as deep as I can in 7 minutes, into what metacognition really is, why it's your mind's ultimate hidden skill, and how mastering it can genuinely transform your life.Imagine stepping outside your mind, looking back, and finally seeing exactly why you keep replaying awkward conversations, procrastinating, or spiraling into anxiety. Understanding metacognition lets you do just that, giving you the tools to shift negative patterns, enhance your learning, and make clearer, wiser decisions every single day.You could think of this as your friendly guide to unlocking the hidden superpower you didn't know you had. Grab your headphones, relax into a liminal vaporwave atmosphere, and let's gently explore the fascinating landscape of your own mind.I know it sounds dumb...to think about how you think.But try it.

Hey there, conspiracy enthusiasts and truth-seekers...wait a minute, is that why you're here?Sorry I've been filling the channel and internet with sound baths for the last month. I kind of just go by what I'm feeling.But I think I've figured out a way to talk about the stuff I want to talk about, even if it's just for a few minutes.Those 40 minute videos were taking too long to make and my sped up brain prefers to tell you everything I know, as soon as possible, so you can tell me everything you know as soon as possible. ( yes...I tend to sound this juvenile whenever I'm exicited ) But yeah...buckle up ( because seat belts still have buckles...at least some things stay the same ) because we're about to take a wild ride through the twisted corridors of MK Ultra, where the CIA played mad scientist with our brains. And I know I'm making it sound a little lighter than it is...but sometimes you have to do certain things, to be able to talk about certain other things. Imagine a bunch of suit-wearing spooks trying to create real-life Jason Bournes ( super soldier type people but not Captain America style ), only to end up with a generation of TikTok addicts. Coincidence? I think not! From LSD-laced brothels to hypnotized assassins, MK Ultra was the OG of "let's see what happens if we push this button".But what if MK Ultra never really ended? What if it just traded in its lab coat for a hoodie and started coding social media algorithms? Now, I know what you're thinking: "This guy's been microdosing too much." Astaghfirullah. But hear me out! ( READ...I GET IT...this is reading ) Everything is connected. From the CIA's secret LSD parties to your aunt's obsession with cat memes – it's all part of the sci-fi tv show that is our REAL LIFE.So, put on your tinfoil hats (they're very fashionable this season) and join me as we connect dots so far apart they're practically in different galaxies. Because sometimes, the craziest connections yield the most mind-bending revelations. CONNECT THE DOTS.And hey, if you want to dive deeper ( people love saying deep dive but the depths of the ocean are SCARY ) into this rabbit hole or chat about other weird stuff that makes your brain do somersaults, hit us up ( ew...that sounded so lame ) at www.idiotmystic.com. Or better yet, join our 24/7 discord of well intentioned weirdos at https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM.Remember, in a world of MK Ultra, be an MK Awesome! ( idk what's wrong with me...)

Welcome to 2025, where we're kicking off the year with...this. A video. A ramble. A cry into the void of the internet. Once upon a time, making videos was just about putting something out there because it felt right. Now it's all, Is the title clickbait enough? Does the thumbnail have text? But not too much text? Should I slap a face on it so people will trust me?And speaking of thumbnails—yeah, this one's a joke...in case you were concerned.The internet is chaos, and honestly, so is this video.In between thumbnail philosophy and existential spiraling, I remembered I need to pay rent (shoutout to adulting), reflected on how the tide sometimes takes over your ship (deep, right?), and tried to figure out why any of this matters. Maybe it doesn't. But maybe it does.If this video made you laugh, think, or just helped you avoid whatever you're putting off, thanks for letting me be part of your day. Welcome to the wild ride that is 2025. Let's see where the tide takes us.

Someone asked me the other day, quite beligerently ( but at my asking ), "WHAT IS YOUR CHANNEL EVEN ABOUT?!?!".I didn't really know how to explain it.He said I need to focus my niche more.I need to tighten up my thumbnails.Maybe have multiple channels.Like I said in of the other descriptions recently, I don't even know what a video is anymore.I don't know if it's just me saying what I want to say to someone who wants to hear or see it.Now it's a thumbnail and a title and what time I release it.But I don't think that is something I can participate in very well.I enjoy variation where it is healthy.I enjoy trying different things.Because that's how the human being is designed.Repetition in some things, variance in others.I'll show up and make something for you because some of you enjoy it.And our conversations are crazy and wonderful.Sometimes, unexpected friendships are even formed.But I can't really explain what I'm doing here or what this is.If I could, it wouldn't be a journey...probably something more like a quest.Think of this channel like a walk in the forest...except, you don't have to go home at the end.We're just walking around, taking it in. I hope you've been well since our last one way conversation in this description box.Feel free to reach out, either through www.idiotmystic.com or the Discord app, where there's something weird going on 24/7.

*This was recording in 2024 but uploaded in 2025 because...well I'm mostly focused on YouTube now as I can upload everything there easier. Sorry and I hope to see you there...or on the Discord app. *So, we're back playing Webfishing, where you cast digital lines into the weirdest corners of the internet while contemplating life's deepest mysteries...and also socks.I know you don't really expect gaming videos from me, but I don't know what I expect from me here.Let's just try to get through this together.Some questionable highlgiths include:

Welcome to the Cozy Library in My Head. It's the same place that lofi playlist video was at.The Mind Palace.It's snowing outside (well, not really, but let's pretend). I really seem like I've lost my mind haven't I?A video a day?So you can relax?I think it's a good idea.I'm sitting here in warm socks, recording this meditation for you. If I sound like I'm falling asleep, I probably did ...I might've ( did ) even edited out some dead air where I drifted off. At least you know it "works".This isn't just a holiday meditation ( kind of because of when I'm uploading it ) but you could find this video next summer, or in ten years, assuming YouTube is still a thing (a weird thought, right?). But right now, we're here to breathe together.What to Expect:Simple Breathing Practice: In through the nose, hold, out through the mouth — repeat until life feels a little softer.Relaxed, Real Vibes: No overly polished, “perfect” meditation voice here — just a cozy space to be yourself.Mindful Escape: Imagine snow outside, the warmth of a quiet library, and the feeling of finally slowing down. Let's Breathe Together:Find a comfy spot (lying down, sitting up — standing if you're bold).Close your eyes… or keep them open.Breathe in deeply… hold… and let it out slowly.No rush. No pressure.We're aiming for more than ten deep breaths, something most people don't make time for. If you stay with me ‘til the end, thank you — and if you're just here for a moment, I hope it helps anyway.It's been nice hearing from so many of you lately. Keep stopping by the Discord app ( link in bio ) if you get a chance or reach out through the comments or website ( www.idiotmystic.com ). FOR ALL THE CONTENT go to our YouTube channel...I can't post things that are audio only through Spotify for podcasts.

I don't know why I make these videos... maybe I'm just some kind of emotional hoarder. You ever get hit by that weirdly intense 5PM light and suddenly remember stuff you didn't even know you were missing? Like the last time all your friends hung out… or when cartoons still felt like magic (before life hit you with “bills” and “responsibilities”). This is a monologue ( I think that's what this is called ) about those “last times” we didn't see coming ,when “GTG, dinner” turned into “sorry, been busy lately.” It's cheesy, it's dramatic, and yeah, maybe a little too real. Watch it, feel things, and maybe text that friend you've been “meaning to catch up with.” PLEASE stop by the YouTube where we have ALL Idiot Mystic content including probably 100 hours of Sound Baths for you to relax and meditate to. :)

Okay, so I honestly didn't ever think I'd get this weird. Like I knew I was strange, but sharing this has been cathartic. I do voices all the time. For my son, for jokes, for family...it's just something I've always done. Fictional characters have also always been a part of my life...sometimes they seem to take on a life of their own. Lemon Tart is one of those guys. I hope you're doing well and that we talk soon. Reach out through www.idiotmystic.com or the Discord app.

* NOTE ( eww ) : ALL EPISODES ARE ON YOUTUBE...I can't upload soundbaths and episodes that are mostly sounds and not talking on Spotify or Apple Podcasts * I'll still upload what I can here. ( IM is better with video to be honest ) --------------

Today, I finally sat down to play Webfishing—a cozy, retro-inspired game where you fish as an anthropomorph in a surreal world. Shoutout to Drew (yes, I have friends) for gifting me the game and to the people gently pushing me to play it. This isn't just a gameplay video—it's a window into my slightly anxious, often reflective brain. I'm trying to balance making meditations and sound baths with letting people get to know me better. I also managed to escape a death loop, jump on some mushrooms, and put fish in an aquarium (after way too much trial and error). Fake fishing as a creepy looking cat turned out to be strangely compelling, even if I'm still figuring out how to enjoy gaming without guilt. If you've ever felt too anxious to play a video game, or just want to relax with some low-pressure gameplay, come hang out. Let's see where the digital waters take us. And hey, if you've made it this far, try a deep breath—inhale through your nose, hold it, and let it out slowly.

"Who am I, really?" It's a question that's both simple and complicated, and today, I'm journaling my way through it. In this quick reflection, I scribble down thoughts on identity, purpose, and the roles we play in life – father, student, coffee lover – and wonder if there's more to us than the labels we wear. As I write, I ask: Who is this "I" that I keep referring to? Is it just the part of me that has a cold right now, or something deeper? And if you ask yourself the same question, what comes to mind? I figured I'd bring you along on this weekend journaling session as I explore these questions, unfiltered and a bit scattered, because sometimes the simplest writing sessions spark the biggest questions. So, who are you, really? It's nice that you're here by the way, I hope you're doing okay. Good even.

When was the last time you sat with yourself...like really, truly sat with everything you are and everything you've been through? In this video, I think I made some kind of 90s-inspired meditation, a nostalgic journey that touches the deepest parts of your soul and brings you back to the moments that shaped you. Remember the kid who believed in magic, who saw the world as a canvas filled with possibility? The teenager who felt everything so deeply that it hurt? And now, here you are, carrying stories and memories, both beautiful and painful, that you never asked for but have grown into. This meditation reflects on those chapters, especially the moments when you learned that life doesn't always go as expected,when growing up meant carrying things you never thought you'd have to. Through gentle visuals and a super cool ( at least to me ) soundtrack, let this experience guide you to the quiet resilience that's kept you moving forward, the strength that's allowed you to keep breathing, keep feeling, and keep finding beauty in the small things. Dust in the sunlight. Coffee swirling in the morning. The softness in your heart despite every ache it's felt. Who are you, really? Beyond the face you show the world, beyond the person others expect you to be? This meditation is about sitting with that person, dancing with your shadows, finding acceptance in your story, and discovering a quiet beauty within every scar, every laugh, and every tear. This isn't what we usually do, but it's a moment to pause, reflect, and remember: you're still here, still writing your story, still learning to love the parts of yourself you once thought were unlovable. Press play and join us on this journey down memory lane. You're not alone in it, and your story is far from over. Come talk to me and everyone else on the Discord app ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) or check out www.idiotmystic.com.

What am I even doing? From meditation to rain sounds to secret societies...I'm just doing what I know I'm supposed to. Isn't that what we're supposed to do...what we're supposed to do? But how do you know what you're supposed to do? There are ways. In this episode ( I think that's what these are ) of Idiot Mystic, I talk about the Golden Egg Theory, a concept that reminds creators to honor their natural creative process rather than succumbing to the pressures of constant output. Inspired by a conversation with my friend Caldinovin (link to his youtube below), this theory uses the metaphor of a goose laying golden eggs—your ideas, your art, your content. These golden eggs represent the best of what you create, but they can't be forced. In today's unrealistically fast-paced world, driven by social media algorithms and the demand for frequent content, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the pressure to produce more and faster. I talk about my own experience with burnout, how rushing the creative process impacts quality, and how the joy of creating can fade when the focus shifts to output rather than connection to the work. We'll also explore the science ( well a sentence ) behind creativity and how it thrives when given the necessary time to rest and recharge. Drawing inspiration from legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki, we'll look at the importance of patience in the creative process and why rushing it can lead to burnout. I'll share some apparently practical advice on how to protect your creative energy, avoid the pressure of perfectionism, and let your work flow naturally. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the weight of content creation (even any other job) or lost touch with the joy of their craft. Also please check out my friend Caldinovin's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Caldinovin If this message resonates with you, feel free to share it with others who might need to hear it. And as always, I love hearing from you, so reach out anytime. Until next time, take care of your creativity and yourself. You can also come say hi on the Discord app. ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) Audio : Drone in D 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=USUAN1200044 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

Hi. I'm back with another questionably long video. But I think you might enjoy it, unless you hate nature...in which case, we should probably talk. I think you'll be able to relax and unwind with this 1-hour nature sounds video, featuring the peaceful sounds of birds chirping, leaves rustling, and streams flowing. Since ancient times ( I know I say ancient times a lot ), people have found solace in the sounds of nature, using them to meditate, reflect, or simply enjoy the moment. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve focus, or enhance your meditation or nap, these soothing sounds will create the perfect ( as close to it as something can be ) calming atmosphere. Research has shown that listening to nature sounds can reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels, boost mood through the release of dopamine and serotonin, and improve concentration by providing a steady auditory background. These natural soundscapes are ideal for meditation, napping, studying, or just taking a moment to breathe and reconnect with yourself. If you're using this video to meditate or nap, try practicing deep, slow breathing: inhale through your nose for about 3 seconds, hold for a moment, and then exhale through your mouth for about 6 seconds. This simple breathing exercise can help deepen your relaxation as you listen to these sounds of nature.

I know, meditation doesn't work for everyone...except it does. Maybe this one doesn't, but one of the others will. If they don't, get in touch with me, I assure you...there is a way. This 10-minute stress relief meditation is perfect for a Friday night ( which is when I'm uploading it ) when you need to unwind, soothe your anxiety, and let go of the week's tension.

Another guided meditation designed to help you explore but this time through liminal spaces—the in-between moments where transitions occur, and stillness meets potential. In this meditation, you'll pause and reflect in these often-overlooked spaces, discovering how transformation begins in the quiet moments of life. This calming session will hopefully guide you through deep breathing exercises and mindful visualization, allowing you to fully experience the present. Whether you're navigating life's transitions, feeling stuck, or simply seeking inner peace, this meditation will help ( I hope ) you embrace the unknown with ease. Take a deep breath, let go of distractions, and find peace in the space between phases of life. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this meditation is for anyone looking to slow down, connect with the present, and embrace transitions. Discover the power of stillness in the liminal spaces of your life. Be kind to yourself, slow down, and embrace the in-between moments where transformation quietly begins. You can come say hi on the Discord app if you'd like ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) or stop by www.idiotmystic.com for that old timey website feel.

Back with another meditation. The inner child is an important thing. Yeah I guess it is a thing. But lately it's been co-opted by endless hours of therapy and people making into a tragic experience. Of course there is always sadness, wherever there is humanity. But this can be a joyous experience. Let's try it. This is a gentle journey to reconnect with your inner child through a soothing meditation. In this video, you will be guided through calming techniques designed to help you rediscover the joy, curiosity, and wonder that defined your youth. As you relax and breathe deeply, you'll explore cherished memories and tap into the natural curiosity that resides within you. Sounds a little too good to be true, I get it. This meditation is perfect for anyone looking to explore their inner self, find peace, and reignite the playfulness and joy that adult life can sometimes overshadow. Your inner child is always with you, ready to bring back a sense of wonder and delight into your life. Allow yourself to embrace this journey of self-discovery and healing. I mean...what's the worst that could happen? Oh, this is a picture of a park in Pakistan. I miss it.

So I did another meditation thing and fell asleep during it...I love deep breaths. You can tell after I come out of my trance or whatever I was in because I'm much quieter. I'm glad you're back...or here for the first time. This is a guided meditation designed to unlock your creative potential. Whether you're a writer, artist, musician, or innovator, this session is perfect for you...well, again as perfect as something human-made can be. Find a quiet space where you can relax and clear your mental clutter. Imagine a blank canvas before you, ready to be filled with your unique ideas. Through deep breathing and the release of self-doubt, we'll ignite your creativity and allow vibrant ideas to flow freely onto your mental canvas. And if you never needed help being creative, well you just got motivated by listening to an idiot talk about it and should go ahead and keep doing what to do. Which is being you. The only person you're meant to be. You can come say hi on the Discord app ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) or www.idiotmystic.com.

Ever find yourself pondering life's big questions over a morning coffee? I do consistently, but sometimes I don't think it's pondering as much as it is knowing that I kind of know something. That doesn't make much sense but that's not why I do this is it? In this Sunday morning video ( that you might watch on a Monday or some other labelled day on the Gregorian calendar ) , I'm journaling ( is that what writing in a tiny notebook is called ) about purpose, free will, and what it all means—while sipping a questionable tasting coffee, of course. Is life about leaving a legacy, making money, or is there a deeper purpose we're missing? Whether you're into writing, meditation, or just love those cozy Sunday videos, this might not be the worst place to dive into the tunnels of the mind and explore what's really going on in there. We'll talk free will, mindful breathing, and why I had to grab a canvas for my kid at 7 AM ( because he wanted to paint ). Perfect ( well is anything perfect? ) for anyone looking for a mix of journaling, meditation, ordinary-ness, and some Sunday morning idiocy. So grab your hot beverage and take a deep breath, just not at the same time. That usually doesn't go well. You can come say hi on Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) if you want or stop by www.idiotmystic.com. Also, I really like these tiny lamps my son bought for 70 cents while we were in Pakistan earlier this year.

Yeah I know I'm here a lot...but this time it's with a soothing self-compassion meditation designed to help you release self-criticism and embrace kindness towards yourself. In this gentle guided session, find a comfortable spot, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Together, we'll loosen the grip of tension and self-doubt, replacing harsh thoughts with nurturing affirmations that honor your humanity and worth. This meditation will empower you to treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding you would offer a dear friend. As you journey through this experience, you might come closer to developing a lasting sense of kindness that you can return to whenever you need it. Be good to yourself, and when you do something that isn't the best, know that you can come back from it. You really can. We can talk on the Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) or you can stop by www.idiotmystic.com.

I know...it seems like I'm losing it. From talking to strangers and friends about stuff for four hours at a time, to recording 5 minute meditations and hour long videos about secret societies...yeah it's been a big change. But I hope you enjoy change and progress and me being myself. Here's an hour of rain sounds designed for a quick nap or sleep, relaxation, and focus. This video combines gentle rain sounds with some visuals, perfect for meditation, stress relief, or as a background for studying. The sound of rain has brought comfort to humanity for centuries, and I hope this track offers you the peace you seek. I even added some volume elevations and audio you may not outwardly hear, that could in theory help alter your mind state for the better. Well that is if you believe in better.If you're using this to meditate or nap, try taking deep breaths in through your nose (if you can) and out through your mouth, slowing your breathing down to relax further. Let the rain wash away your stress, guiding you into a state of calm. And if you'd like to enjoy these rain sounds for more than an hour, right-click on the video and select the loop option. If the weather isn't great where you are, or if rain isn't what you need right now, know that I wish you peace and comfort. And hope that you find calm in your own way, at your own pace. You can come say hi on the Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) if you'd like to talk or visit www.idiotmystic.com.

Hi again. We all have panic attacks from time to time, even if they are different places on the spectrum and even if we refuse to admit that we are in an elevated or compromised state. It's okay. This calming 5-minute meditation is designed specifically for those experiencing panic and anxiety. In this session, I will guide you through effective techniques to help you regain control and find peace in moments of distress. I almost fell asleep at the end of it because I was doing it as I was recording. We start with deep breathing exercises, focusing on slow and intentional breath patterns to calm your mind and body. You will also learn the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method, a powerful tool to help you reconnect with the present moment by observing your senses. As we navigate through this meditation, you will be encouraged to release tension and let thoughts pass without judgment. Together, we will hopefully create a sense of tranquility and safety, allowing you to feel more grounded and centered. Whenever panic creeps back into your life, remember that you can return to this meditation to breathe through it together. Don't be afraid to take this moment of self-care and take a step towards emotional well-being...seriously, you deserve to feel better. Come stop by the Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) if you want to talk or check out www.idiotmystic.com .

This isn't a meditation, but I think a rather delicious companion to my video about Adam Weishaupt and his secret society in Bavaria. Sometimes you have to learn about things that appear unrelated, so that you can see the connections. A few more breadcrumbs for you on the journey through the forest. Discover the secrets of Skull and Bones, Yale University's prestigious secret society founded in 1832. Renowned for its influential alumni in politics, finance, and beyond, this society is steeped in mystery and intrigue. I tried to cover its shadowy origins and unique rituals, including Tap Day and coffin confessions, while examining its iconic symbols like the skull. Often associated with conspiracy theories and elite networks, Skull and Bones exerts significant influence through its exclusive connections. They have stuff to do with elections, presidents, global finance and whether you believe or not...Time Magazine. Despite the evolving landscape of power, Skull and Bones remains a powerful emblem of ambition, secrecy, and legacy. Let's try to figure out how this enduring society continues to shape future leaders and maintain their power and influence in today's world. Or just play it in the background while you do the dishes. Who cares about secret societies that rule the world any way? If you want to say hi you can stop by the Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) or visit www.idiotmystic.com.

Greetings fellow overthinkers!

Hello again, you dopamine chasing, thumb swiping legends! In this episode...or thing. I don't know because I've gone from mulitple 3 hour recordings a week to 11 minutes of whatever it is, whenever it's done. We're going into the matrix and talking about one of its primary mechanisms, doomscrolling . I tried to talk about how it hooks your brain and impacts your #soul . There's even a little ( or a lot depending on who you ask ) science behind your scrolling habits, why your brain loves those quick dopamine hits, and how neuroplasticity is making those endless social media sessions harder to break. Then there's also the spiritual side of constant scrolling and how it disconnects you from the present moment. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! I found some practical, science-backed techniques to turn mindless scrolling into a mindful practice. There's a way that breath awareness , emotional check-ins, and mindful pauses can transform your relationship with your devices. By setting intentions and curating your feed, you can reclaim your attention and nourish both your mind and spirit. As annoying as it may sound, let's try to turn your digital habits into something that uplifts and enriches you...maybe even changes everything. I talk about that a lot, but to be honest, you don't need to change everything. I guess I just want everyone to know how important they are and what's really at stake in every moment we are alive. But that's something for another time. You can come say hi on Discord ( https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM ) if you like or read something weird I've posted on www.idiotmystic.com. In th end all that matters is that you spent some time today be aware of you #destiny . And where this is all going.

This isn't a meditation. In fact I recorded it despite constant noise, car backfires, motorcycles, my mom yelling about how she messed up lunch and my son trying to record his own YouTube video with a vintage Panasonic tube tv and cassette deck combo. This is me, trying to teach you something that I've been doing since I was 12. Because I've taught other people how to do it with far reaching affects on their lives and those around them. Lucid dreaming is a gateway to other non-physical processes that are highly touted in the modern world, especially the realms of spirituality and healing. But first, let's just start with this. Because why would I start at step 2 or 9 if I could start at the beginning. Feel free to get in touch through Discord if you feel like...I'll be around. https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM

I spent way too long wondering whether or not to turn the backing track down or not. To the point that I had a realization, the longer I spend fighting myself, the less time I spend making things that are important to me and doing what I need to do before I'm gone. And that's what this is about. Why you're here. And if it's one of the six hundred million ways to make money, I appreciate it, but I'm not interested...as unlike me as that sounds. Because usually I'm interested in everything. Why wouldn't I be? It's all from the same place. But I've realized...there is something afoot. A collective forgetting, amplified by enthusiastic participation. So...this is me not participating. But still being here, in case you need to talk. You know where to find me. Physically and on the astral. But digitally, come talk to me and the rest of us I've had the blessing of collecting t in one place on Discord. https://discord.gg/pGDCxv6pgY Maybe this is a meditation but more than that, I hope it made you know that all the specifics matter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idiotmystic/message

I know...background music and the founder of the Illuminati , I must have really lost it. Maybe I have. But everything has a reason. This is specific period in seemingly linearly progressing time, so I touched on the life of the founder of the Bavarian Illuminati because it is in important narrative that has affected the world you see before you to a degree that you may not realize. Instead of making bold claims, well maybe I made some, I just wanted to tell you the story of the person that started some stuff that kind of got out of hand. But then again, can people even start things? Or is it all coming from somewhere else? A lot of people like to tell me tha there is no consensus reality. So maybe this never happened? Maybe Adam Weishaupt was never born? Maybe he never had an entire life and maybe the Illuminati never existed? Maybe the founding fathers of the United States weren't travelling around Europe meeting with members of the Illuminati prior to its founding? Maybe literally everything this video is about is a ridiculous fabrication. If it is, I encourage you to find that which is not. And hope that you never find your way into this forest of lies again. But if...if there seems to be some truth here. Maybe there's more truth somewhere else. And I think we should look together. We can talk about here if you want. Or somewhere else. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idiotmystic/message

Why do I care about the way you think? Why does why you think the way you think matter so much to me that it has driven to me near insanity over the course of my life? Because understanding you was the only way to understand me. It is. Because we are one thing...or at least eventually, we will be returned to a singular place. But I can't build width anymore. Because we need to go deeper. Into the water. Till we think we might not be able to come back up. And in depths...you'll find what awaits you. But that was about water and this is in a desert. Sometimes there's water in deserts. If you lasted till the end of this and/or the video...woah. Hi. We're have a little thing on Discord where we talk all day...about stuff like this. ( tap this ) You should stop by and say hello. If you're already there, I'm glad you're here too. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idiotmystic/message

A thing about why I wear three beanies at time. Really? Yeah, that's why I deleted everything and started from scratch. Because I feel like talking about three hats and teetering on the edge of madness has more value than some of the utter garbage I was allowing to be promoted and accepted as potential truth. Manifestation lies. Meditation bs. Awakening? HAH. We were all sleep-walking and the some creepy energetic Pied Piper was leading us astray. Authors who were just rich guys who wrote about magick after they got rich. Spiritual people who weren't spiritual unless they're being recording. People who are LOST, trying to help others find themselves. A truly lovely circus. But as the ringmaster, even I realized the show must come to an end. And the clown make-up off. Because...one day I'll have typed my last word. And you would have breathed your last breath. And I wouldn't have wanted to have done anything gross to the precious, divinely ordained time we have between the moment you read this and then. If you feel called to, stop by the Discord server. Talking to you would be great. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idiotmystic/message

This is kind of what it's like in my mind sometimes. This is also kind of what it's like during my #meditation sessions. This is also kind of like when someone loses their mind and burns everything they've spent the last few years working on, and suddenly pivoting to something totally different, with a sureness that is the absolutely right thing to do. What? I'm not really ever sure, are you? Whether they are seeing an actual object, a trick of light or an otherworldy apparition...people telling me about the orbs they've seen as lead me down a strange road. A road paved with high strangness and love. But then again, all roads are on the same highway. Going one place. You might want to consider that. Or come talk to us here. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/idiotmystic/message

What looks like a vaporwave fever dream is probably actually my truest expression. But I didn't know that till I started typing this. Saying that I am you, wouldn't make much sense at a time like this either. But things happen to be the way they are. And this might be one of the places you find out about them. After 300+ hours of recording, I understood what I needed to understand. To move beyond that space. Now, I have different things to understand. And perhaps others to teach.

Hold onto your hats (or blankets, in Haider's case) for this abomination of an episode of "Idiot Mystic"! Our ever unhinged host Haider Qayyum ( https://instagram.com/haideraliqayyum ) , armed with his blanket cape and a plush snake that's probably wondering how it got here, dives headfirst into the swirling vortex of what is actually in his head.

Kat The Alien somehow being in Kansas ended up a few streets away from another member of the Navigation Guild and co-host Steve Bragg in Arizona, causing Haider to overreact and manifest an impromptu Idiot Mystic roadtrip. After picking up the official lore snacks for Kat ( Dr.Pepper and QuikTrip Pretzel ), we proceeded to Steve's house where we facetimed Zak El Fassi to discuss the future of this reality and if in fact it was actually a simulation. Following glorious Steve-time (which is something all of you should incorporate in your liife ), we made our way to the Idiot Mystic studio to get in an IRL session, something that we hope to do more of in the future and that definitely caputures our awkwardness more completely than a video call. Kat effortlessly weaves us through conversations about aliens, giving zero hoots, battling global warming, and the mysteries of the universe.

Trump, UFOs, and the mystical potential of oat milk coffee...wtf.
