Have you ever witnessed someone so in flow that it feels like divine wisdom itself is speaking through them? ✨

 

That’s exactly how I felt over a decade ago when I first stumbled upon Jason Silva’s videos. He was this “mad scientist philosopher” channeling ecstatic wisdom in a way that was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was 23 years old, completely mesmerized, and I knew I was witnessing something sacred. 

 

Jason is known for hosting 5 seasons of the Emmy-nominated, global hit TV series Brain Games, on the National Geographic Channel, broadcasted in over 171 countries.  And now, 11 years later, I had the honor of sitting down with him for a full-circle conversation on the Highest Self Podcast.

 

In our conversation, we talk about:

 🌿 His early explorations of altered states and how they unlocked his creativity and voice

 📸 Why recording himself created a “container” to capture lightning in a bottle and refine his gift

 🎬 What it truly means to make your life a movie and why we are not just the main characters, but the directors of our own reality

 📖 His upcoming book Sacred Derangement and how ecstatic perception can break us open to radical creativity, outrageous self-expression, and a life lived in awe

 

What I loved most is Jason’s reminder that awe is an altered state. Wonder itself has the power to collapse our mental models and free us from the jadedness of adult life. In those moments, the mystery of existence cracks us open, and suddenly our problems don’t feel so heavy. We remember we’re here to create, to dance, to express, to play

 

This conversation isn’t just inspiring… it’s activating. It invites you to reclaim your inner artist, and your ability to weave your own cinematic reality.
