Idiot Mystic

So you want to be spiritual?Usually that urge doesn’t show up because life is going great. It shows up when old explanations stop working. When advice feels rehearsed, achievements feel hollow, and silence starts getting louder than noise.In this episode, I talk about what happens after that crack appears—when spirituality turns into something we consume, collect, organize, and apply, instead of something we actually enter.Books, frameworks, cosmic explanations, star-seed theories, tidy narratives for pain. None of it comes from bad intentions. Most of it is people trying to make sense of intense inner experiences with the only tools available: language, metaphor, story.But somewhere along the way, experience starts arriving already explained—and the encounter itself gets shorter.This episode explores:How spirituality can quietly become another form of avoidanceWhy labeling pain doesn’t always transform itThe difference between knowing about consciousness and encountering your ownWhy some practices perform for identity instead of grounding the nervous systemI also explain why, for me and my clients, breathwork has remained the cleanest entry point into real inner work. No mythology. No identity updates. No audience. Just breath, sensation, attention, resistance, calm, boredom—whatever actually shows up.This isn’t anti-spirituality.It’s a return to it.If things start feeling overly abstract, overly cosmic, or disconnected from your real life, this episode is an invitation to return to the simplest thing in the room.Your breath has been here the whole time.It doesn’t exaggerate.It doesn’t theorize.And it doesn’t lie.🎧 Listen quietly.🧘 Sit with it.🌫️ Let meaning arrive later—usually sideways.If you want to read stuff there's always www.idiotmystic.com or if you'd rather talk there's the Discord server.https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM
