I'm 63.

At 10, I began my 53-year study of ancient Eastern texts—Kashmir Shaivism, Vedanta, and Buddhist sutras...

What I discovered? Most Western "gurus" are reselling kindergarten versions of Eastern philosophies.

Here are my 7 best insights from a lifetime of spiritual work:🧵
1. Consciousness Creates vs. Consciousness Observes

Modern day: "Consciousness means being aware of the present moment."

vs

Ancient texts: "Consciousness is the creative force that manifests all reality."

This changes everything about how you practice.

I'm 63.

I've spent over 20 years as a Harvard-trained psychologist helping high performers inlcuding CEOs & founders worth $100M+.

They all face one similar issue.

If you're burnt out, stressed, and your immune system is always in chaos, read this: 🧵 In my PhD program at University of Texas Austin, I discovered the mind isn't just thoughts...

It's a whole system that includes your body, emotions, and nervous system...

This insight has helped my highest-performing clients recover from burnout when nothing else worked.

Modern medicine is built on a 2,000-year-old mistranslation.

103-year-old Dr. McGarey discovered this after Gandhi changed her life with a single glance.

She spent 70+ years proving why 90% of healing happens without drugs.

Here's the secret doctors won't tell you: 🧵 This is 1930s India.

A train departing for Bombay.

A 10-year-old American girl presses her face against the window, grieving her departure from the only home she's known.

Then she sees him, Gandhi, leading a crowd, carrying only a staff.

I am exposing Big Pharma's $60 billion secret...

They've been hiding the real cause of anxiety, depression, and fatigue for decades.

As a psychologist, you don't need more pills.

You need to fix what they'll never tell you about: 🧵 Here's what they don't want you to know:

Your anxiety, depression, and fatigue aren't separate "disorders."

They're connected symptoms in a network that feed off each other.

Fatigue → Social withdrawal → Worthlessness → Depression → More fatigue.

Your brain is lying to you 10,000+ times per day.

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman spent 50+ years proving this.

Test yourself with these 7 questions to expose the hidden biases sabotaging your decisions... 🧵 Kahneman revolutionized psychology by proving one shocking truth:

Your brain makes systematic errors you can't even see.

You can rewire your brain in as little as 8 weeks.

Chronic stress isn't your fault, but healing or not is.

Neuroscience shows exactly how anyone can shift from survival mode to thriving mode.

Here's your step-by-step roadmap to nervous system regulation:🧵 Your amygdala (fear center) has hijacked your brain.

When stressed, it floods your system with cortisol and adrenaline, then shuts down your prefrontal cortex.

The part responsible for rational thinking and emotional control.

You literally can't think your way out.

Your parents' unhealed trauma might be destroying your brain chemistry.

I've dedicated my life to decoding human psychology.

Science proved these wounds pass down anxiety, depression & addiction to your kids.

Here's the disturbing truth (& how to break the cycle): 🧵
Dr. Rachel Yehuda at Mount Sinai discovered something shocking about Holocaust survivors.

Their children — who never lived through the camps — showed the same altered stress hormone patterns as their parents.

The trauma had literally changed their DNA.

You don't have a "change is hard" problem.

You have a comfort problem.

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, I've found most people would rather stay miserable than feel temporarily uncomfortable.

Here's the science behind why you're stuck (and how to break free):
Your brain is literally wired to keep you stuck.

Status Quo Bias makes you overestimate the pain of change and underestimate your ability to adapt.

Researchers Samuelson & Zeckhauser found we'll choose familiar misery over unfamiliar possibility every single time.

Most people think healing childhood trauma requires years of therapies, pills or courses.

Nope. Your body needs a system reset.

Your vagus nerve is key to undoing decades of damage, yet 99% of people ignore it.

This took me 40 years to learn, I'll explain in 2 minutes: 🧵 Trauma is not stored in your memories.

It's trapped in your nervous system—keeping you stuck in "survival mode" 24/7.

Your brain literally can't access healing while it thinks you're under attack.

Here's why:

I'm a Harvard-trained psychologist who works with ultra-successful high-net-worth individuals...

And I hate to break it to you, but the cost of overthinking and anxiety is the life you could have lived.

Here's the protocol I created that actually works: 🧵
Most of my clients are accomplished professionals — dentists, doctors, and company founders with impressive careers.

Despite their success, they struggle with overthinking and procrastination, they can't seem to shake it.

But why?

You don't have relationship problems.
You don't have love resentments.
You don't have trust issues.

You have unresolved trauma, stress, and anxiety that's controlling your mind.

Here's how it rewires your brain (and the 4 patterns to fix it): Trauma hijacks your nervous system.

When triggered by intimacy, your body floods with stress hormones as if you're under attack.

This is why you sabotage good relationships or stay in toxic ones.

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Chronic Procrastination.

It's why you're stressed, anxious, depressed, and your immune system is in chaos.

Here's Andrew Huberman's 7-step protocol to escape the prison of procrastination: 🧵 First, let's understand what's really happening in your brain.

Procrastination isn't laziness or weakness.
It's a dopamine problem.

Huberman discovered that without sufficient baseline dopamine, you literally CAN'T feel motivated—no matter how much you want to.

"Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75." Benjamin Franklin

They're walking-dead stuck in someone else's dream, trapped in soulless jobs, and tangled in traumas.

Carl Jung Found 7 Laws for Finding Your Life’s Purpose: 🧵

1/ Your Purpose Has an Expiration Date Carl Jung identified 2 distinct life phases:

- 1st half: Build your life, achieve goals, establish identity
- 2nd half: Find meaning, integrate shadow, seek wholeness

Many mid-life crises occur when people cling on for too long.

If you're reading this, you might have alexithymia.

It makes you feel disconnected, alone, and stuck.

Here’s what it is — and how to fix it 🧵 Alexithymia means: “no words for feelings.”

You have emotions —STRONG ONES— but you can’t name them.

You might say:

“I’m tired" (for I'm sad)
“I don’t know.” (for I can't feel)
“I’m fine.” (for I'm confused/uncomfortable)

Your body knows something’s wrong but you can’t express it.

Your brain was NEVER designed to speed 80 mph in a 10-ton metal box.

Or, scroll 10X images in 20 minutes.

Here are 5 reasons why...

You can't sleep, overthink, and feel exhausted.

And, how to break free (Harvard-backed neuroscience)...🧵
1/ Anxiety and panic attacks aren't just fight or flight.

They come from chronic dysregulation of your neurobiological brain networks.

• The Salience Network (SN)
• The Default Mode Network (DMN)
• The Executive Control Network (ECN)

This chronic imbalance drives panic attacks, overthinking, and people pleasing.

I'm 63.

At age 10, I began searching for life's deepest truths.

I devoured the Upanishads, Buddhist texts, and Christian mysticism.

Here are 8 insights from my lifetime of inner work. A THREAD 1/ Eastern spirituality has been watered down in the West.

Texts like the Shiva Sutras and Chandogya Upanishad aren't about becoming mindful; they point to a reality shift:

You are not the watcher—you are the creative force itself.

The hidden cost of living inside other people’s worldviews:

Anxiety.
Overthinking.
People-pleasing.

Ludwig Wittgenstein points the way, and I'll show you how to break free.🧵
You weren’t born anxious.

You were trained to ignore your inner voice and obey invisible rules.

This training came from parents, your culture, and school.
Each had an agenda for who you should be.

You inherited their worldviews.

And now you call it “reality.”

The trauma trap no one talks about:

I call it: The Safety Script.

A survival mode that looks like self-care but's really...

Overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism all rolled into one.

Here are 5 ways to break free from it and thrive...🧵
The “Safety Script” is the hidden trauma loop behind overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism.

You think you're being careful.

You think you're being kind.

But you're actually stuck in a persistent trauma loop--

a blend of "fawning" and "functional freeze" that looks like self-care.

Perfectionism is never about getting it right.

It’s about protection.

Until you feel safe, your efforts will never feel like freedom.

Here are 7 steps out of perfectionism (you won't get anywhere else)...🧵
Perfectionism is a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

You're fleeing shame, failure, and fear of abandonment.

You’re not being “pushed by a vision.”

You're being pulled by your fear.

The most overlooked, deceptively simple path to true freedom:

Facing your inner demons.

Here’s Naval Ravikant’s 7-step framework for peeling back
your false self—and reclaiming your authenticity.

Most founders never get this far.
A THREAD 🧵 Who is Naval Ravikant?

A Silicon Valley legend.
Early investor in Uber, Twitter, and AngelList.
Built billions through clarity and long bets.

But his real success?

Freedom from his inner demons and the ideal/false self he grew up with.

A freedom most people have never experienced in their lifetime.

Most anxiety isn’t about fear.

It’s about belief.

Deep down, your nervous system is clinging to a story:

“If I perform perfectly, I will be loved.”

This thread will help you find that story—and rewrite it.🧵
Most people think anxiety is about:

– Rapid breathing
– Panic attacks
– Fight or flight

But at its core, anxiety is about a personal narrative.
