Idiot Mystic

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. T...

Some obsessions look ordinary from the outside. But inside? They’re ritual, tether, even sacrament. I’ve watched creatives, dreamers, physicists, singers, and everyday workers treat dried mangoes not as snacks but as sacred companions...a kind of chewable sunlight that holds them steady between chaos and infinity. For some, it was survival. For others, rebellion. For one physicist, it was the only...

What if the strange lights in the sky aren't just a modern mystery, but the oldest one we know? This is the story of UFOs, not just as flying saucers or Pentagon footage, but as a phenomenon that’s haunted human history since the first time we looked up and wondered. From ancient Sumerian tablets and Ezekiel’s wheel, to World War II foo fighters, Project Blue Book, modern Navy encounters, and...

Welcome to the descent. ( maybe welcome back if you're here again somehow ) In this episode ( I'm getting comfortable calling these episodes again ), we pull back the velvet curtain ( I don't know why I thought that would be cool to say...I said it in the video too...so cringe ) on Project Monarch, the alleged ( love that word ) mind control program said to have shaped Hollywood, pop c...

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...

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 d...

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...

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,...

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 jus...

*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...

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 pro...

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 c...

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 t...

* 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 ) -------------- 🎣 Playing Webfishing again, solo again—it’s finals week, and life is a little hectic. Between catching fish and figuring out how to put them in the aqua...

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 le...

"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 t...

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 poss...

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 n...

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 i...

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. 🌙 In this calming session, we’l...

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...

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 meditati...

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 a...

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 tha...

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 h...
