Today I turn 30.

The life odometer is getting a considerable upgrade. As that left digit flicks from a 2 to a 3, I can already feel my “Self-expectation” kicking into a higher gear. It does something to you psychologically.

So much happened in my 20’s, mostly internally, what felt like decades worth of agonizing, followed by spiritual surrender. I can hardly imagine what the next decade has in store, especially when the fault lines of our civilization are being revealed so dramatically and systems are beginning to collapse.

Everyone’s secretly been hoping Harry Potter’s a true story. Well, turns out it is.

Introducing my most ambitious undertaking yet, a comprehensive online course featuring 6 modules and 30 videos, covering topics ranging from “Sacred Psychology 101” to “Ancestral Medicine” to “Elite Biohacking” and everything in between. It will even have a “Defense Against the Dark Arts” lesson.

I’ve been researching the true causes of “schizophrenia” for 10 years. In that time, I’ve discovered a number of things that, if adopted en masse, will change the face of this so-called mental illness.

This week marks the ten-year anniversary of my breakdown.

And what a decade it’s been.

[This is one of the few photos taken of me in the weeks following my breakdown in late April of 2010].

In the days following the Deep Water Horizon disaster on April 20th, 2010, as millions of barrels of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico, I underwent a disaster of my own, a horrific mental breakdown that left no part of my life untouched. At the time, the two events seemed inextricably interlinked, as though I was plugged into the global mind and was energetically absorbing the etheric horrors of that oil spill.

Are you familiar with the Wim Hof Method? Wim Hof, AKA "The Iceman," is famous for developing a breathing technique that has helped him claim 26 world records, including the Guinness World Record for longest ice bath (1 hour, 52 minutes, and 42 seconds).

Wim Hof believes his method has therapeutic value for those suffering from severe mental health challenges. He once said, “I can bring people back to tranquility. Schizophrenia and multiple-personality disorder draw away people's energy. My method can give them back control.” Part of Wim’s passion to relieve such people's suffering derives from his own’s wife’s suicide, which took place after she began showing signs of “schizophrenia.”

John Weir Perry is one of the all-time greats in psychiatry and specifically the work of reenvisioning “schizophrenia” yet sadly, no one seems to have heard of him.

I decided to give him the modern treatment, laying a sound bed underneath his epic description of the true arc of “schizophrenia,” when successfully moved through and completed, which, of course, our society fails to see, by and large, because we are out of touch with such processes.

Did you go within? When all of civilization turned into a ghost town, did you curb your Netflix addiction and journey into the alone?

There is no better time.

Has it sunk in for you how unprecedented this is, how “once in 500 years” it is that so much outward human activity has come to a standstill? The world-devouring machine has decreased its speed more suddenly in the last two weeks than practically at any previous point in centuries.

I launched Sacredphrenia seven months ago, hoping to make a global impact on our collective understanding of "schizophrenia." So far, I've been able to work closely with seven clients all around the world (via phone and Skype) as a Mental Health Metamorphosis Coach, helping several of them improve their condition and helping one, whose testimonial you can read below, to transmute his condition entirely.

How I imagine “diagnosis” will go in the future when our society has become more enlightened.
⠀
Funny word, “diagnosis.” I like to think of it more as a kind of “discrediting.” That’s right. Don’t be fooled by the elaborate terminology of the DSM or the endless variations of diagnostic labels. It’s another ostentatious display Western psychiatry puts on to compensate for a rotten core.

It was such an honor to be interviewed by Josh Macin of the Detox Dudes, who I became friends with in 2016 as we were simultaneously discovering the game-changing healing power of detoxification. Watching Josh blossom since then, with his health and with his business, has been a huge inspiration for me. Sitting down for an official Detox Dudes interview felt full-circle in many ways. Hope you can check this one out.

I was profoundly influenced by a macrobiotic instructor who had a kind of religious orientation to what he put in his mouth.

What if your deepest hell contains the seed of your liberation?

Imagine taking what plagues you most and flipping it on its head, so your nightmare becomes your blessing.

I’m asking you to think big. Think beyond diagnosis. Think beyond stigma.

My mission is to remind us of something we’ve forgotten: “schizophrenia” is a spiritual teacher.

Think Plato’s cave allegory meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Think the world’s wisdom traditions pouring into psych wards. Think “schizophrenics” rejecting their diagnoses in favor of something much more profound.

Crystals are a sacredphrenic’s best friend. 🌈⠀

This magnificent specimen was unearthed and gifted to me by my dear friend, the lovely Livy Durgan, on 11/11 of all days, following our 11:11 themed hike and ceremony.⠀

Livin in the spiritual gangsta’s paradise…. 😎⠀

It’s funny, I’ve inwardly transmuted much of the stigma surrounding “schizophrenia” only to find it succeeded by a procession of other collective stigmas, condemnations, and vilifications.⠀

It has accumulated so much collective baggage from more than a century of misunderstanding that it does little other than shock and unnerve most people.
⠀
It conjures up images of deranged psychopaths, of madmen shouting gobbledgygook on street corners, yet nothing of the beauty or the wisdom inherent in the condition when allowed to unfold in an unrepressed manner, tempered with the right treatment.
⠀
We sweep it under the rug. There's a palpable sense of shame embedded within the word itself. It's a topic our culture refuses to have a real conversation about.

I spent years pretending my story didn't exist. I remained in the psychiatric closet. The word “schizophrenia” hung over me like a phantom I couldn’t shake off. I wouldn’t dare let people associate me with such a stigmatized title.

How could I tell people about my bizarre experiences? For years, I spoke around the edges of what was actually occurring. I was immersed in this torturous inward rollercoaster people would never be able to wrap their heads around, especially in the small northern Nevada town I was living in.

My first podcast interview! Details below👇👇👇

Two years ago, I was listening to the Synchronicity podcast with Noah Lampert and the “not-bullshit psychic” he was interviewing, Bernadette Dickinson, was so compelling, I found it necessary to reach out to her and get a reading. 🔮

During our first reading, Bernadette told me I was “in the process of breaking free from my cage,” that I was being liberated from stuck patterns that had been holding me back for years.
