Overview

Sacred Derangement by Jason Silva is a vibrant and personal guide to staying awake and creative in the modern world. Blending manifesto and field manual, Silva explores how altered states, aesthetic wonder, and sacred play can help cultivate radical presence and boundless creativity. What does it mean to stay fully alive in a world spinning ever faster? In Sacred Derangement, Jason Silva - filmmaker, philosopher, and modern rhapsodist - offers his most intimate, electric meditation yet: a wild guide for anyone trying to hold their center while surfing the chaos of modern existence. Part personal manifesto, part ecstatic field manual, this book explores how to harness altered states, aesthetic awe, sacred play, and visionary ecstasy to cultivate a new kind of subjectivity: one rooted in both radical presence and outrageous creativity. In these pages, Silva shares the tools, lenses, and practices he uses to metabolize existence itself: - How to surrender to mystery and beauty. - How to train the nervous system for creativity and participation. - How to savor and how to build. - How to have many laughing fits. And just when the reader is anchored in the intimate, Sacred Derangement zooms out: revealing humanity's larger trajectory: the feedback loops of technology and consciousness, the planetary mind awakening, the merger of biology, information, and imagination itself. This is not just a book. This is an invitation to dance inside the mystery: to stay human, stay awake, and stay inspired as we hurtle into the future. If you've ever felt caught between rapture and dread, between cosmic wonder and daily overwhelm: this is your map.
