The Real Wise Crazy 😎
When I was diagnosed with "paranoid schizophrenia" in 2011, I never imagined that I would heal, let alone that one day I would be making silly rap videos!
But such is the psychospiritual development process that I call "sacredphrenia." Cutting-edge alternative psychiatrists such as R.D. Laing, John Weir Perry knew about this. They viewed psychosis as an attempt on the part of the unconscious to heal the psyche, eventually (key word: eventually - it took me years of trial and error experimenting with alternative modalities) resulting in a psychologically healthier human being.

Casting Some Pretty Big Pearls
Here, lemme condense my healing journey into a selfie that’s so grammable these Insta-lurking grambabes and grambros won’t know what hit ‘em. 💥
The truth is that some things are better left unshared on social media. “Don’t cast your pearls before swine,” as Jesus says in the Bible. “Or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.”

HERE-itual
Whatsup, internet! I’m Jacob. I’m a spiritual sorta dude. I recite mantras to Jupiter and draw oracle cards and all that shnazz. When Jehovah’s Witnesses come to my door, I tend to engage them in theological discussions.
But what I’m really working on is being more HERE-itual. It’s my new word to describe being HERE. In the flesh. Embodied.
You see, it’s all too easy for our spirits to flee our bodies when we experience the horrors of the world. 🙈

The Mexican Picasso
Last weekend, I attended a memorial service for a sacredphrenic man who made an indelible mark on the world, even in the midst of his great suffering.
Hundreds gathered to pay tribute to a remarkable human being, known by many as the “Mexican Picasso.” Through his paintings, he seemed to express concepts that were just outside the bounds of most people’s accepted definitions of reality. A cubist, hallucinogenic world, rich with symbol.

Undone
Watching Undone was easily one of the more profound experiences of my life. I sobbed for about fifteen minutes at the end of the final episode.
In many ways, it was like watching my own life. The brain injury, the psychotic break, the shamanic opening, the ear ringing, the timelines converging, the messianic vision…
I had a Truman Show-like experience watching this show, as though it was written exactly for me to see at this pivotal point in my life.

What if I Told You There's a Mental Health Renaissance Happening?
Can you feel it?
We’re in the beginning stages of a consciousness revival that will make the ‘60’s look like a straight-laced, corporate meeting.
The conditions on the planet are such that it is inevitable. Transformative technologies are appearing in more and more people’s peripheries, ecstatic tools to counter the drudgery of the Game A rendition of reality we’ve been force fed for so long, which, of course, tightens its grip in the face of such opportunities.

We Are Drugging and Numbing and Condemning Our Shamans
We like to pretend we’ve come so far since the days of lobotomies. Remember that only sixty years ago, we were driving ice picks through people’s eye sockets to damage their brains in the hopes that it would relieve their psychological suffering. 🔪🧠
One prominent example: President John F. Kennedy’s sister, Rosemary, was lobotomized at age 23 and left with the mental capacity of an infant who could neither walk nor speak intelligibly.

Changing the Story We Tell Ourselves About "Schizophrenia"
That’s my “feelin it” face. Fresh off my first public presentation and a day’s worth of connecting with dozens of people in front of my booth at the Re-Imagine Wellness Fair in Reno. I gave free Nessor sessions and signed people up for free consultations. Handed out business cards and got a better feel for my “elevator pitch.”
Cannot thank the Re-Imagine team enough for all the hard work they put in to make this event happen in only NINE SHORT WEEKS. And thank you to Aurelia Faylacawn for the fantastic photo. 👍😁👍

Thought Leader Thursday with Ashley Ahmadzai
In November of 2017, this very luminescent and psychic woman approached me and said she could feel there was something about me that was special, some leadership quality that needed to be brought out. It impacted me. ✨
I’d just started becoming more socially engaged, but was still frail from years of being eaten alive by my thoughts. They say first impressions are lasting impressions, and that was most certainly the case with Ashley Ahmadzai, who I’ve only grown more impressed with as time has gone by!

My one-on-one coaching program is officially up and running. Tell your friends to tell their friends there’s this dude saying “schizophrenia” transmutation is one of the keys to global healing.
The website is up. The free eBook is available, What I Wish I Knew When I Underwent a Horrific Mental Breakdown.
I want people’s heads to turn when they hear about this. I want to spark some uncomfortable conversations. I’ll be giddy when I start getting negative comments because that means this thing is starting to ruffle some feathers.

Angels of Empathy
When many people think of Reno, they think of quickie divorces, Johnny Cash, gambling, or Comedy Central cop mockumentaries. Arguably the last thing they think of is mind-body regeneration.
Well, this last weekend proved that when it comes to the alternative wellness scene, this city is really coming into its own. World-renowned health experts gathered here for the BioRegenesis Conference to talk all things holistic healing, detoxification, regenerative agriculture, marine therapy, deuterium depletion, morphogenetic fields, etc. I couldn’t believe the headliners when I first saw the list of speakers. Two of them had helped me immensely in my own healing journey.

The River Underground
In 2011, I wrote a song called The River Underground. Something compelled me to write these strange lyrics about a “living land.”
I never really knew what the song was about or why I gave it that title. All I knew was that it was important somehow.
None of it made any sense until 2017, when I found myself attending community events at this amazing property in the Sierra foothills and the owner told me a “river flows underground” beneath the property, partly accounting for its otherworldly energies.
