Publisher's summary
From zeniths of ecstasy and through valleys of darkness, one man’s journey leads him across a colorful landscape of strange adventures, and into the depths of truth that we all eventually seek.
After attempts to escape the troubles of his mysterious past through sex, drugs, and violence; things end up in ruin. But then, a series of profound mystical experiences compels him along the path of self-knowledge. An unfoldment of the spiritual sciences opens up before him and leads the way to realization and lasting happiness.
In Sex Drugs and OM: An Autobiography of an American Yogi, a journey of a hundred lifetimes is undertaken by one man. It is a tale of the dark night of the soul that leads to enlightenment. It speaks to all of us in search of something more from this life, and lights the way to unraveling the secrets within.
For anyone who identifies with sexual addiction, drug addiction, PTSD, or any imbalance that keeps us from living a full happy life, this book not only offers us hope, but the tools to bring balance into our own personal lives.
Available in Audiobook, Paperback, and Kindle.

David Icke has been writing books for decades warning that current events were coming. He has faced ridicule and abuse for saying that the end of human freedom was being planned, how, and by whom. The Trap is the "Rosetta Stone" of illusory reality and opens the door to freedom in its greatest sense. Listen to this book and the "world" will never look the same again. The veil of illusion shall be swept aside and the amazing truth this has kept from us shall set you free.

David Icke has become world-famous for his work exposing today’s fast-unfolding global dystopia more than three decades before it became reality. They laughed then. But he didn’t stop there. He went further. Icke knew that the world of the "seen" was only a reflection of something far deeper that ultimately originates with a non-human force in another reality.

Yung Pueblo’s path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it's one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible.

Story
Shaman, meaning "intermediary between spirit and the natural world", has become a much overused word in the West. It's not a job title one can give oneself, and in indigenous societies a shaman is usually born to this role. Ya'Acov Darling Khan is one of the few Westerners who have been acknowledged as shamans by indigenous elders or teachers. After being hit by lightning, Ya'Acov took a 30-year journey into the heart of shamanism to seek his own healing and to learn how he could serve others with the wisdom he acquired through his experiences.

“ Sex, Drugs and Om. Autobiography of an American Yogi” By Greg Reese BOOK REVIEW
Book Review and Drawing By Maria Grasmick
Sex Drugs and Om By Greg Reese Book review by Maria Grasmick
The Main Character is Greg Reese himself. Currently a reporter for Infowars, He writes here, an autobiography of his experiences in life. In the style of WONDERLAND AVENUE by Sugarmen but more SPIRITUAL. He is the narrator on the audible version.
The stage is various places, from Ohio Cleveland Catholic School California Florida New Zealand Desert Storm Marine corps London and Buddhist temples. There are minor characters he gives names as Cadence, Crystal, Xanadu, Steve, Cat, Hanover and Gaylord. Wanderings in the philosophy of books, and how they changed his life. And there seemed to be a presence following him, that showed him the way when he most needed.
The situtation was, he longed for, sought, relief from evil. Pining of, a LIFE WITHOUT PAIN. He had spiritual experiences, unexplainable, and supernatural, that healed him. The book describes an Escape from the prison of his mind. Finding meaning through years of existential and violent thoughts, destructive desires. That feeling of being born bad, transmuted into illumination.
Sex, Drugs and Om. Is a fitting title. There are many stories of those three. The aesthetic of those in vivid detail. Longing, I could feel the want. It is very well written and casually emotional.
He was a man trying to find himself in life. Its a confession. Its brutally unlocked and candid. There was a constant feeling throughout that he was hunting meaning in his life. That he could find nowhere but inside himself. In Meditation. I feel he was born gifted but could never find an outlet until he LIVED. And foraged the answers out.
There was a secret that was revealed to him at the end, where repressed memories came back. This was the key to relieving . This “skeleton in the cupboard”, even he did not remember for decades. There were abusive women and many negative people along his way, that had just been his undealt reflections.
What was at stake, was his very soul. He wanted control and peace. Its a journey out of darkness into light. Someone with true knowledge of evil, that wound up being saved in the end. There was malice, lingering in shadows that he could not quite understand. His life was at stake. His conscience.
This book you will love. I loved it. Its been a long time since I read a good book, so honest open, in a long time. Its for adults. He speaks candidly of things I wish I could speak about also, of my life. I want to say, I felt the same way, and I had many experiences just like his, uncanny. Maybe you can relate as well. Its very open. The book itself is a ritual. He is telling you things most people would never admit to. And its psychologically palliative to read.
Very juicy, all of his experiences with drugs from lsd to cocaine. The trips themselves and what he saw. Mescaline and a tupperware bowl, filled with cocaine. Noteworthy if you are interested in psychadelic experiences, firsthand. Spiritual disciplines he learned along the way. And paranormal experiences that changed his life.
His stories on sex, as a drug and his desire to find unconditional love in sometimes low places. Narratives of his childhood, in a relatable way. I could link to them. Tales of being a marine and his 40 days in the desert experience. The OM was his interest in buddhism, and how exactly he got enlightened and what techniques he used. So its like getting the discplines without joining a temple. He tells you how.
I was touched by reading this in one sitting. I couldnt put it down.

Wisdom by Mistakes.
If you are walking a path anywhere near this story, you will love this book. There is a plethora of wisdom from experience written/told here. If you want to know how someone acquires such wisdom, they'll usually tell you they've made many of mistakes. "I highly recommend this read."

Excellent
This was an excellent book for me to read during this time. I am similar in age to Greg and I have spent the majority of my life “living for the weekend” and partying/drinking almost every weekend of my life while holding down a good job during the week.
I had been listening to a lot of “self help” books but I felt I needed to find some sort of book I could relate to. I related to Greg so much in this book.
At times I hit the fast forward button and thought there were a few things that were kind of odd, but I kept listening and glad I did.
It’s almost like you needed to hear Greg’s full story to grasp the last hour of the book.
The last hour of the book was literally superb with good lessons.
Thank you Greg as I finally have listened to somebody that was similar to me and how they improved themselves organically.
If you feel lost, seeking desires, have addictions, etc., this may be the book for you.

Honest and Facinating
At the beginning it just seems like a tale of one suffering through life, but as the story continues you realize that the beginning was necessary to understand the rest. It is a story of an extreme quest for self discovery and peace and will be helpful to anyone seeking those things. The narration is very well done.
