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.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Theo Fotopoulos — psychosomatic coach, plant medicine facilitator, and men’s work leader — to explore the depths of shadow work, initiation, and the mysteries of consciousness.

Theo has lived a life on the edge: near-death experiences, years of men’s coaching, dozens of plant medicine ceremonies, and relentless initiations into both shadow and light. What he’s discovered along the way is a path of radical honesty, embodiment, and service.

Together, we dive into:

• Theo’s near-death experiences and how they shattered his identity.
• The turning point that led him from PTSD into plant medicine.
• Why integration is the work — and why chasing ceremonies misses the point.
• How the body’s nervous system is the true gatekeeper for psychedelic depth.
• The vital importance of rites of passage and initiation for modern men.
• Cannabis as the “dark feminine” and how to work with her consciously.
• Bufo, Ayahuasca, Kambo, and the initiations that broke Theo open.
• The danger of spiritual bypassing and the shadow of “love and light.”
• The future of humanity: collective shadow work, split realities, and the return to wholeness.
• Why you will find your light by going into your darkness
• The lesson Theo would leave to the next generation

This episode is for anyone walking the path of initiation — seekers, leaders, facilitators, and those who know there is more to life than meets the eye.
