✨ Episode 4: Standing on Nothing — Mysticism and the Illusion of Measurement

This episode was recorded in one take — unscripted, imperfect, and real — just like the mystical life it explores.

Jacob dives into mysticism: what it is, why it arises, and how it appears across spiritual traditions. From the illusion of measurement to the poetic wisdom of mystics like Rumi, Kabir, and Meister Eckhart, this episode takes you on a winding but grounded journey through the conceptual filters that shape (and often limit) how we experience life.

Drawing from personal stories, sacred texts, musical metaphors, and moments of honest doubt, he invites you to consider that the world you’ve labeled is not the world itself. That maybe—just maybe—God, truth, and peace are found not in more thinking, but in being.

The episode closes with Rumi’s The Guest House—a powerful invitation to welcome every part of your experience with presence, compassion, and trust.

Whether you’re overwhelmed by thought, burned out by belief, or simply curious about what lies beyond the mind, this episode invites you to stand nowhere… and remember where you’ve always been.
