Unlock God Mode is the best way to go deeper with me beyond the guest interviews on
The James Xander Trip. It’s a 30-day journey with more than 10 hours of transmissions and practical exercises, distilled from my own spiritual path, psychedelic explorations, and the wisdom of my teachers and mentors.
Think of it as a 30-day initiation into living from your highest self. Instead of just listening to me interview someone, you and I walk side by side through the exact practices that have transformed my life.
👉 Join today at
unlockgodmode.orgRight now, you can access it for a
one-time lifetime deal of just $97. One payment, full access forever. This is a rare opportunity, and I don’t know how long I’ll keep it open.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to anchor these teachings into your own life and go deeper into my world, this is it. Begin your journey today at
