After my mind had apparently done enough spring cleaning, it shifted focus. Old interests resurfaced. It began with my love of stars. I immediately bought Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and Elon Musk’s biography. At night, I’d find myself quietly lying alone on the beach, tracking the movements of stars. In the day, I bounced around on YouTube, learning all about celestial mechanics.
Somehow, somewhere along these lines, I remembered something I had come across before: How Jim Carrey, one of my (and probably your) favourite actors, had started acting up and was seemingly going through a mental breakdown.
Half curious, half concerned, I began researching him, just trying to see what the deal was, and stumbled upon an interview where he was discussing some wild ideas. He was trying to articulate something that sounded ridiculous…tying together Santa, Jesus, and your spine.
I remember thinking that Hollywood just claimed another victim.
He explained that there’s a substance that comes from your medulla and travels down into your spine, “Christ coming down in human form”, and if it’s not wasted, it will ascend again.
Hmmmmkay. Pretty sure science says there’s not.
Anyway, I would later come to realise this was the Sacred Secretion, the Kundalini Energy, the Coiled Serpent, Hermes’ Staff, Vishnu’s Serpent, the Djed Pillar… All pointing to the same thing: that life force dormant at the base of the spine.
A sacred secret
I had stumbled upon one of the most hidden and coveted occult secrets, previously known only to the initiated… and it was The Joker, The Fool, Jim Carrey, who handed me this information. I had no idea of the significance of what I’d come across, but it caught me hook, line, and sinker.
At the time, the video literally below this interview was from a YouTuber called John St. Julien Baba Wanyama, who, to cut a long story short, moved from Great Britain to Africa, just to start an orphanage, simply by following the 1111 number, which, apparently, follows this lad around.
I know right.
This clearly risk-tolerant dude had a few videos discussing the Sacred Secretion, and I quickly watched them all. He also had numerous videos about the esotericism of the Bible, and growing up with a somewhat Christian background, those really struck a chord as well.
I don’t know why it was so appealing. I’d had past inklings that hidden knowledge existed, but it had never occurred to me to go after it. After all, hidden occult knowledge was, in my mind, practically the same as satan worship. I had enough fear in me to believe you could awaken some demons if you went looking for this stuff.
In fact, I’m pretty sure that at some point in my life, I thought meditation itself was demon work or something like that.
And yet, strangely, that barely came to mind when I studied the videos of John St. Julien Baba Wanyama. He became a guru to me. He constantly spoke about how to activate the Sacred Secretion, why we should fast, observe the moon, and maintain an alkaline body. He talked about stories like David and Goliath being an allegory of the third eye, or Jacob’s Ladder being the seven chakras, or the bronze serpent wrapped around a pole that Moses created, well, guess what that was.
Additionally, he delved into how the Vatican already knew this, noting that their biggest statue is a giant pinecone (a classic symbol of the third eye), and the thing that holds the coveted spot at the top of the Pope’s staff is also a pinecone. He spoke about how they have this knowledge, but they suppress it. Lastly, he frequently discussed DMT and its transcendental effects.
I’d heard enough. A frantic spell descended and clung over me. Over the following weeks, I devoured information like a man possessed. I bought books, lots of books, and tore through their pages, highlighting, circling, colouring. YouTube played in my ears day and night: documentaries, lectures, interviews. I wasn’t just curious… I was desperate. It felt like I was chasing something, ever present but out of reach. I wasn’t just skimming; I wasn’t just listening – I was absorbing and retaining information in a way I’d never experienced before. I’d hear something once, and it’d stick. I’d move to the next, cross-referencing, triangulating, all with ease and excitement.
My mind felt like it was aflame, and every name, every term, every concept stuck like glue.

Pretty soon, the signs started appearing around me. I, too, began seeing the 11s and more. My mind teetered somewhere between flat dismissal and wide-eyed revelations.
The door to hidden knowledge had opened to me.
The choice came soon enough; the excitement grew too large.
I had to experience this firsthand. I had to try to pierce the veil. I. Had. To. Know.
Following the guidance of John St. Julien Baba Wanyama, I began a three-day fast on Thursday, November 9, 2017.
Three days later, my life changed.
