MECHANICS OF MYSTIC: A Nervous System’s Guide to Being God

You’ve been told the Universe is testing you, your soul signed a contract, and Mercury retrograde is personally responsible for your last three relationships. Convenient. Especially for Mercury, who has no legal representation.
This book takes apart karma, soul missions, manifestation, spiritual hierarchies, and the enlightenment industry’s suspiciously profitable confusion. In their place: the Field, your nervous system, perception, repeating fractals, and the mechanics behind what you keep calling destiny.
A radical reconstruction of mysticism for people who want to understand how reality becomes experience.
Your spiritual awakening just got audited. Bring receipts.
REGULATION: A Nervous System’s Field Manual

Someone told you to calm down. Your amygdala responded by opening seventeen emergency tabs, activating the fire alarm, and appointing your childhood trauma as head of security.
Welcome to the actual instruction manual for your nervous system. Practical tools for overwhelm, shutdown, relationships, children, money, conflict, and those beautiful moments when your mouth makes a decision before your brain has clocked in.
Learn how to recognize your state, change your body’s response, and find the tiny pause where choice becomes possible.
Because inner peace is lovely. But Tuesday at 4:37pm, when your child is screaming and your partner asks what’s for dinner, requires equipment.

RIA & REGULATION: The Four-Book Illustrated Nervous System Series

Meet Ria. She’s nine, she feels EVERYTHING, and her brain is managed by a committee that should probably lose its operating license.

Four illustrated books turn neuroscience, big feelings, friendship, fear, mistakes, and growing up into unforgettable adventures.
Real tools. Ridiculous characters. A surprisingly accurate explanation of the chaos inside every human head.
For children who feel everything. And adults who could really use the manual.
