Welcome to the Glorious Grandeur of Ultra Spirituality

In case you haven't noticed, the New Age has become the Old Age. But don't recycle your crystals just yet! His Enlightenedness JP Sears is ushering in the Newer Age, blinding us with the dawn-like brilliance that is Ultra Spirituality. How to Be Ultra Spiritual presents Ultra Spiritual JP's none-of-a-kind guidance, so you can better yourself through teachings on:

  • Competitive spirituality—the Ultra Spiritual foundation that the rest of your Ultra Spiritual path rests on

  • Why burying your feelings alive makes you thrive

  • Dreaming up your awakening—how to engineer your carefully contrived spiritual narrative

  • Rigidly yogic yoga—the moisture-filled cloud formation that drops rain upon your river so your flow can flow

  • Following the light to the greener spiritual pastures of veganism

  • He-ness, financial levity, deathliness, and other qualities of the quality guru

  • Mindfullessness—all of the fullness of mindfulness with none of the mind

  • Merciless meditation—the most effective way to become more meditative (and, duh, more spiritual)

  • Accessing the forces of critical nonjudgment

  • Using plant spirit medicine to experience a degree of enlightenment that you aren't enlightened enough to experience without the spirit who lives inside its particular vegetation

  • Humbleness, and how to employ it in the most superior sense of the word

    With How to Be Ultra Spiritual, His Enlightenedness JP Sears brings the heart and soul of ancient spirituality back to life with a progressive aggression, replacing the diluted uselessness of modern spirituality with the waaay more spiritual wisdom of Ultra Spirituality. See if you can keep up . . .

        Sears translates his satirical YouTube series on spirituality crazes to a self-help guide in this humorous send-up. Ultra spirituality is the more intense, more insistent version of new age that amplifies the common claims of the spiritual-but-not-religious set. For instance: quality meditation is determined by length; truths are truer if you can cite your guru; the best intuitions are the vaguest; and being present in the now is a weaker version of the real goal of being present in the soon. Filled with unhelpful advice, the chapters cover a wide range of topics to make sure you are on the path towards more enlightenment than anyone else. The parody offers sharp critique of self-righteous vegans, image-obsessed yoga practitioners, and greedy peddlers of spiritual advice. Sears is at his best in the chapters on competitive spirituality and during his more antagonistic takes on mindfulness and the hypocritical disparaging of religion by those who consider themselves “spiritual but not religious”. The joke wears a little thin at times but hits its targets with pressing questions. Opponents of shallow, commercialized spirituality will be delighted, and practitioners of the practices pilloried will be reminded how their intentions and attitudes might be blocking their aims.
