sleep easily

no drugs needed

be present

and slow down your mind

feel regulated

no matter if your work is stressful

end depression

it’s not your fate

Even if you tried and failed at meditation before


Even if you have tons of thoughts.


Even if you distrust anything spiritual related.


This is different.

You really can experience the super-conscious state.

It’s real, it’s simple, it’s not what you think, and yet it changes your life.

This is infinite-based stillness meditation.

No spiritual theater.

A different kind of meditation with an entirely different goal.

This kind of meditation is not what you’re expecting...

No sitting on the floor

No obtuse philosophies

No focusing on the breath

No religious concepts

No visualizations

No spiritual theater​

No chanting

No gurus

No postures

No.   Sketchy.   Stuff.

How refreshing!

What can a former monk teach you


about your mind & meditation


...who side-steps the entirety of spiritual theater to empower you without lock-in?

...who shows you how to feel so good again, rescuing you from the worst places that the mind can end up in?

...who teaches you everything he learned but in a compact way, respectful of your time?

Let Michael Persimmon, an expert teacher, show you a gentle, effortless, and sustainable way of meditating.

This goes far beyond


mere calm


Peace is entirely different than calm.

Calm is nice.  But limiting compared to what you could have.

Calm comes from the level of the body 💪

It’s the eternal, timeless aspect of your larger self.​​

No, you can’t measure this “larger self” in a lab.  

But you can refine your awareness of it.  It’s definitely real.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to have an experience of something larger—instead of a roller coaster of emotions and an internal jail cell of repetitive thoughts?

You can undo the tech stress overload on your mind and body


anytime you want*

*yes, even eyes-open 👀 in pressure situations

You don’t become passive.


You become steady.


When you shift your state of consciousness, you...


  • End depression
  • Say goodbye to anxiety, say hello to feeling really good
  • Recover from emotional upsets in 15 minutes
  • Shake off negativity from media overload
  • Release grieving

  • Super-charge creativity
  • Raise self-worthself-love
  • Uncover your greater purpose

  • Bonus:  experience something larger

When you shift your consciousness, you...



Do more.

Relax more.

Understand more.

Reach more.

Play more.

Serve more.

Relate more.

Perceive more.

Receive more.

Create more.

Embolden more.

Intuit more.

If you’ve been diagnosed


with a brain dysfunction


...then you owe it to yourself to explore what it would be like to experience a peace so deep that you question the premise of taking self-numbing medications for the rest of your life.

Imagine feeling...

clear in your mind

light in your heart

hopeful in your outlook

sleeping easily and deeply

...like when you were little

Yes, it is possible.  No, you’re not beyond help.  

👉 No one taught you how to use your incredibly powerful mind to shift your state of consciousness anytime you want.

What should you look for 👀 in meditation?

It must be sustainable

Or what’s the point?  You’ll just give it up

It must be effortless, gentle, & natural

All essential for sustainability

It must be comfortable for the body

Strange to have to even mention this

It must be healthy

Or you’ll be forcing yourself to do it

It must make sense

So you can feel confident about what you’re doing

It must be clean

No hooks or surprises should be the norm

It must awaken you to something larger

Or it's no different than simple relaxation

It must be infinitely deep

Or you’ll eventually get bored

It must give back more than you put into it

Otherwise it’ll feel like work

It must not be super $$$

This is meditation, not Gucci handbags

It must not dictate behavior

Or you’ll suspect you’re being controlled

It must make you independent

So you can grow

You can have the inner experience that religion promised, but forgot to deliver...


...without the spiritual theater.

17 ways this meditation format is different


  • It’s in the self-transcending family of meditation, which is unlike mindfulness or Vipassana

  • You sit comfortably in chairs, not on the floor, nor in stress-inducing rigid postures

  • There’s no focusing on breath, thoughts, energy, objects, nor sensations

  • It’s affordably by donation, without hidden charges nor endless upgrades

  • It’s understandable, so you can feel confident about what you’re doing and where you’re going

  • It’s sustainable, because it’s gentle, effortless, and natural

  • It’s customized to you, by you, and is not one-size-fits-all

  • It’s time-efficient, taking you further than expected

  • It’s charming to the mind at ever deeper levels, so you can’t get bored
clear blue body of water

  • It’s usable anytime, with eyes open, even in pressure situations, when you need it the most

  • It pulls the power of gratitude, love, and appreciation into your mind and your day

  • It’s healing, undoing three root stresses of our modern life

  • It balances the mind and heart, making you as lovable as you are intelligent, or vice versa

  • It’s deep, so that there’s no glossing over the really important yet tricky stuff

  • It’s taught by an expert  a former monk, and goes far beyond putting attention on the breath, visualization, or concentration

  • It’s free of religious ties, gurus, or hooks to join an organisation

  • And it’s empowering, designed to make you free from the teacher 

Refreshing, isn’t it?

Even if your thoughts are


🥨 looping
😧 worrisome
👿 self-bullying

☠️ depressive

 

These are not your fate.

No matter the family history reasons.

Nor the medical reasons.

You were born to have peace in your mind and heart 

because of what you are.

You don’t need a religion to rest back into the stillness of your soul.

You don’t need the tediousness of dry meditation either.

This is soul-based meditation.  Or Infinite-based.  Or super-consciousness-based.

The label is unimportant.  It’s the experience that matters.

You can experience the expansive qualities of your soul anytime you want.  It’s not a void.  It’s a positive, full something.

The experience transforms you from the inside out—to whatever degree you want.

And it’s simple.  The soul has to be simple.

Taught by me, Michael, a former monk.  I tested this on my friends for 15 years to be sure it would work for you.

No spiritual theater, promise!

Transform your mind,

transform your life.

What about intense emotions and dark thoughts?


Believe it or not, these are not your fate

no matter how long they’ve been hanging around.

And you don’t need head drugs to “manage“ them.

When you use the incredible power of your mind as it was meant to be used, intense emotions and dark thoughts cease to be nourished, cease to be front-and-center.

They’re replaced by qualities at the root of who you are:

Lightness, clarity, joy-for-no-reason, creativity, connection, timelessness.

Yes, the very same qualities you had when you were innocent.

(Before the thinking habit took over.)

Curious?  Skeptical?  Try a completely different way to meditate that doesn’t wither at the “tough stuff”.

Learn how to be present in a world of chaos

Afraid your neurodivergent, ADHD thought patterns


won’t cooperate?


No need to worry, this is a completely different way to quiet the mind.

Because it synchronizes your brain hemispheres 🧠, 

your ADHD mind stills.

You experience the super-conscious state that is already a part of you.

This state is where you experience creativity, clarity, self love, confidence, fullness, joy-for-no-reason, feelings of connection, healing, and so much more.

This isn’t work.  Synchronizing your brain hemispheres is effortless.  

It can uncork all these wonderful qualities because the super-conscious state is not a separate thing.

Frequently asked questions


No.  

No worship, no devotion, no specialness.  This training is clean—there’s no hooks to follow a leader or join an organization.

It’s about empowering you to be independent from the trainer so that you can live your life freely.

The opinionated manifesto details more about what meditation should and shouldn’t be.

This is entirely different from mindfulness.

Broadly speaking, mindfulness is a finite-based meditation practice, while this is an infinite-based meditation practice.  The two are worlds apart. 

Mindfulness is something that can be taught in 10 seconds by a 10 year old:  “Put your awareness on your breath.  Bring it back to the breath.”  Or:  “Put your awareness on the sensation in your hands.  Bring it back to the hands.”  Or:  “...on the sounds in the environment,” the object doesn't matter.  This creates breath consciousness.  Or body consciousness.  Completely different from infinite consciousness.

Mindfulness is accessible because it is simplistic.   Yet it is not sustainable as a skill-for-life because the mind will bore from it.  As it does from any finite thing.

Broadly speaking, most meditation practices are finite-based and completely miss the infinite.  Most fall back on spiritual theater to compensate.

What about “Some Other Popular Practice”?  Check out the detailed comparisons page.

No.  Not difficult at all!

Most traditions believe it’s inherently difficult to experience this state.  It’s not.  

It’s a natural extension of you, so it should be natural and effortless to reconnect with it.  That’s just logic and it will be your experience too.

Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t had a clear, concise, efficient teaching to guide them.  They are perpetuating the narrative that was passed down to them.  (You’d be surprised to know that within a tradition, questioning the narrative is frowned upon... and yet here we are.)

Not religious in any way.  This is not about adopting new beliefs or referencing religious thought.

Great care is put into this teaching to make it as accessible and useful as possible.


Yet if you are religious, this practice will not conflict with your faith or beliefs.  Rather it will enhance them.


In other words, you will have the inner spiritual experiences that you’ve often heard about.

Just because you work with technology 


doesn’t mean you have to feel trashed by it



Nights that drag out under the glow of a screen.

Days that start with body pains... a headache that won’t go away.

A vacation isn’t an option.

You need something NOW because the stress is starting to affect your how you’re treating others, never mind yourself.

The good news is you’re not broken.

You absolutely can get get back to feeling good, de-stressed, light, creative, energized, and hopeful again.

Even if you work with technology—immersed in it.

Only infinite-based stillness meditation can reverse the aching symptoms anytime you choose.

It’s a powerful way of managing mental/physical health that works because of your mind-body connection.

And it’s cultivated by a former monk, who is a tech nerd, just like you.

Have the inner experience that religion promised but forgot to deliver

The more in control of your thoughts, the less stressed you’ll be.


Your thoughts have more impact 💥 than you realize. 

It’s because of that that you’re tied up in knots 🥨

Don’t settle for the level of consciousness that got you here by default.

Tired of listening to the


voices in your head?


You aren’t destined to feel trapped with the mundane, looping, depressing chatter of your thoughts.  No.

Let a former monk and tech nerd show you how easy it is to activate a different state of consciousness.

(Even if you don’t believe in any of that stuff.)

Where you’ll have space-in-your-brain, that feels like, ahhhhhh, a vacation, finally!

Drugs no longer necessary.

Tech nerds need something that is stronger


than the hot mess 🔥


...that screen-life does to our poor brains 🧠

Take a drug? 💊  Not sustainable, plus all have side-effects ☠️

Get fancy brain treatments? 🧬  Sorry, not guaranteed 🎲

and targets the symptom 🩹 not the root cause 😬

Cut 🔪 through  the mental chatter


...even if you can’t shut it off.

...even if you have bullying thoughts.

...even if you feel your brain is broken.

You cut through the chatter... and go where exactly?

You return to the stillness of the super-conscious state.

It’s the larger, eternal part of yourself.

Only here is lasting, sustainable, healthy relief.

Everything is moving faster and faster.


That doesn’t mean your mind has to follow suit.


When you  👉 slow the eff down 👈  you speed up.

You focus.  You get more done.

You're present.


Even if you’ve tried and failed before, let a former monk (and tech nerd) show you a completely different way to slow down your incredibly powerful mind.

A different way


Even if you’ve tried meditation and failed before, this approach is different...

Sustainably different.

Gently different.

Can’t do it wrong different.

Take the edge off your day


(forget micro-dosing)


Workplace insecurity.

Everything so easy to criticize.

Focusing on the “not enough’s”.

Feeling less and less connected to anything worthwhile.

But you’ve done that.  It’s no longer satisfying—it’s doesn’t truly help your headspace.

15 minutes of Infinite-based meditation has zero negative side-effects.

Your mind clears, your emotions reset, your body relaxes, you feel so good again.

This goes far beyond what you’ve tried with other meditations.

When you synchronize your brain hemispheres, it’s like you’ve come back from a long vacation.

You feel renewed.  This is satisfying.

Phone and laptop addiction affecting your life?


you can break the cycle


Even if you wake up in the morning and grab it 📱 first thing...

Even if you eat dinner with your laptop 💻 ...

Even if you prefer to relax with most anything digital 👾...

So you don’t feel locked into a loop.

Even if technology is designed to be addictive,

there’s a state of consciousness that you can access without psychedelics, that frees from the loop.

You are meant to feel free in your mind and emotions any time you want.

If you struggle with over-thinking 🌪️🧠


feeling depressed ☠️,
being anxious 
😵‍💫, 
twisting into knots
 🥨


...the first step is to get control of your mind.

Because your mind is so powerful, it’s imperative to start there first.

That treats you as a walking, chemical structure.

Do mindfulness?

Focusing on your breath or scanning your body feel too limiting.

You need something safer, more powerful.

It must be capable of handling all your stress combined.

No one taught you to actively choose for a different state of consciousness—have a completely different state of being.

This is an immense calm and moment-stopping, raw peace.

Infinite-based stillness meditation takes you there, giving you back control of your mind and your life.

It effortlessly melts away the over-thinking, mind-spinning habit, revealing the person you always knew you could be.

Make time stop racing by


yes!  you can do that


Experience a slower 🦥, more appreciative pace of life.

Like when you were little.

Because your mind won’t be racing.  

You’ll be present.

Just because you’re super technical


you can still have fantastic intuition


...the part of you that brings you your greatest ideas

...that knows your true purpose, and knows what it isn’t

...that gives you a hunch, and let’s you know that your hunch is good

Intuition is definitely a distinct kind of intelligence.  It works best when the body is relaxed and the mind is quiet.

You can develop this side of you, nurture it, reap its advantages.

How?  

By meditating.  Especially meditation that is infinite-based.

This is where you experience the larger part of yourself.  The what?

The presence of The Infinite.  The timelessness of the quantum.  The creativity of the heart.  

It’s not new—it’s the subtle aspect of you that you knew intimately when you were little.

Let a tech nerd/former monk show you how simple it can be.

Tech nerds need something reassuring


from the upside down, unpredictable


...scare-inducing job market 

Yes, you want to control what’s happening out there.

You need meditation to calm you, ground you, and build you back up.

You won’t be doom-worrying anymore.

You’ll be in control of your mind and emotions.

You’re relaxed and highly creative again, coming up with a abundance of out-of-the-box solutions that keep you ahead, excited, thriving, present, and purposeful ❤️‍🔥

Tech nerds need an antidote 🧪


for imposter syndrome


Even if you’re certain they’ll see through you and show you the door,

Infinite-based stillness meditation more than calms your nerves.

It transforms you from the inside out.

You replace all the old stories you’ve been telling yourself—identifying with!—replacing them with gratitude and a sense of sufficiency.

You effortlessly become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

More than what you’re expecting


The most surprising part? 👉 It’s transformative.

No matter if you feel you’re beyond help.

It’s stronger than your mountain of stress 🤔

Yes, really!  You’ll feel stabilized.  

You’ll feel satisfied at the core of your being.

“Should I just use AI for meditation?”



It’s an innocent step, but it’s also the worst thing you could do.

  1. AI is just statistics.
    It’s a ginormous file stuffed full of numbers sitting on a hard drive somewhere.  That’s it.  You’d be listening to numbers numbering.
     
  2. AI depends on the data it’s trained upon.
    All AI is trained on spiritual theater, so its responses will mimic spiritual theater.  [Meaning: all the sayings, behaviors, and concepts that are expected around anything spiritual-related.]  This will set you on a busy path to nowhere, keeping you in your head, not satisfying you at a soul level.
     
  3. AI is not conscious.
    Remember, it’s just statistics.  It cannot guide you back to the experience of the super-consciousness state because machines do not have a refined, subtle awareness.
     
  4. AI’s value is deceptive here.
    AI may be cheap/free to use, and who doesn’t like to save money?  However, a steady, reliable expert like Michael Persimmon teaches by donation.  So traditional high course fees cease to matter.  And with a teacher like Michael, you are guaranteed to grow.  AI cannot promise that.
     
  5. AI is not real.
    Do you really want to trust the illusion of intelligence when nurturing the most intimate part of your identity?

“Should I just use a meditation app​?”


You could do a lot better.

  1. Apps have an extractive revenue model.
    The unspoken premise is that you’re on a treadmill subscription, in the same way a for-profit drug company wants you stay on their expensive drugs, not outright cure you.  Similarly, apps are not designed to make you independent of them.
     
  2. Apps’ value appears high yet it’s throwing spaghetti at the wall.
    They offer loads of pre-recorded programs and it seems like it’s a great value.  But in that, there is no direction, no focus, no steady opinion on the shortest path to achieving your goal.  And sustaining it for life.
     
  3. Apps are designed for convenience, taking away the human touch.
    If you have no one in front of you who’s been where you are, guiding you, providing feedback to your heartfelt questions in the moment, then you’re going to feel frustrated, left to figure it out on your own.
     
  4. Apps claim to be helping you while they’re actually limiting you.
    Apps cannot provide the reliable, nuanced guidance on how to reconnect with the root of your being, the Infinite.  It’s just much easier for them to focus on limited, finite pathways.  This puts you on a busy treadmill to nowhere, with tiny gains compared to what you could be having.
     
  5. Apps bolster spiritual theater or they bolster the intellect.
    Either way, it’s you that misses out.  Neither approach takes you to the raw peace of your innermost being.

Who is this not for?


...if you are perfectly content with your meditation practice

...you like the feeling of doing spiritual rituals

...you prefer quoting spiritual authorities

...you prefer complexity over simplicity

...you want to collect meditation techniques

...you value impenetrable leaders with exotic accouterments

...you want to look like you’re spiritual
act like you’re spiritual
feel like you’re spiritual 
craft an identity of being spiritual...

...then sorry, this isn’t for you.


However, when all of that ceases to be satisfying, 
when you come to distrust anything spiritual...
then try a simpler, sustainable way inwards.
Spirituality works best as an experience.
