Seeing the future, but changing nothing 

The blind Muslim Yogi22:54

Transcription

So, I want you to imagine something for a second. Imagine you get the ultimate superpower.

>> Oh boy.

>> Right. The one we've all been writing myths about for thousands of years. The ability to just, you know, see the future.

>> Sounds pretty good on paper.

>> Exactly. We all secretly want it. But what if it isn't a gift at all? What if you realize there's a massive terrifying catch?

>> And let me guess, the catch is you can't actually do anything about it.

>> Bingo. You can see what's going to happen, but you absolutely cannot change it. And suddenly this amazing superpower is basically a fast track to well being locked inside a psychiatric ward.

>> Yeah. That completely shatters the whole comic book fantasy. I mean, we operate under this unspoken assumption that getting profound knowledge automatically grants you agency, right? Like omniscience comes with omnipotence,

>> right?

>> Right. But if you sever those two things, if you give someone the sight to see a tragedy coming, but explicitly deny them the power to move the pieces on the board, that turns the fantasy into a total psychological nightmare.

>> And that exact separation, that gap between sight and agency, that is the foundational architecture of what we are unpacking in today's deep dive.

>> It's heavy stuff.

>> It really is. We are examining the intensely complex, sometimes terrifying worldview of Osman. You probably know him online as the blind Muslim yogi,

>> right?

>> He's got quite a following.

>> He does. And quick note for you listening, Osman is permanently blind. He lost his sight back in May of 2023,

>> which is important context.

>> Yes.

>> Very important because in his videos, he often describes things in ways that only someone with eyesight could describe.

>> And that's because, you know, he had normal eyesight for most of his life before then.

>> Yeah. You have to keep that in mind when you're engaging with his content.

>> Exactly. So Osman is a master level bioenergy healer. He claims telepathic capabilities utilizing quantum and entanglement principles

>> which we'll definitely get into.

>> Oh, we will.

>> He specializes in critical care, recovery, and terminal illnesses. And he's got over 50 years of rigorous advanced practice under his belt.

>> 50 years is no joke.

>> It's incredible. Yeah. And you can find a lot of his methodology on his site, which is yogawwellness786.com. He always reminds viewers that there's a free 5-minute yoga and meditation program available for download there.

>> And just to clarify, everything we're talking about from his YouTube channels is completely free.

>> Yes, all his relevant information is free. He does have a Patreon channel for paid live daily videos, online lessons, one-on-one consultations, and group talks.

>> Right. But he doesn't withhold the core information from the free channels.

>> Exactly. The only exclusive paid service is his premium energy healing service, which frankly has a relatively high fee. But he justifies that with his extensive study, his extreme practice hours, we're talking up to 18 hours daily at some stages.

>> Wow. 18 hours.

>> Yeah. And his high success rate, he actually cites a 90% success rate in his specialized fields,

>> which sounds wild, but he frames it very specifically.

>> He does. But listen, our mission for this deep dive isn't just to look at his healing protocol directly. We are zooming in on a very specific agonizing reality he describes which is clairvoyance.

>> Right. We're stripping away the mystical parlor tricks here.

>> Exactly. We are looking at this as a rigid scientific reality that demands just an inhuman level of burden carrying.

>> And to frame this correctly for you the listener, we really need to establish the parameters of what we're doing today. We are not here to conduct some metaphysical audit.

>> Right. We're not debating magic.

>> Exactly. Whether or not you subscribe to the existence of telepathy or precognition, that's entirely secondary. Our objective is to dissect the internal logic of this highly structured belief system,

>> which is fascinating.

>> It is. We're analyzing what happens to the human psyche when decades of intense scientific yoga practices collide with near-death physical trauma, the violent realities of survival, and modern biology.

>> Speaking of scientific, Osman makes a big point about that. His whole mission is to encourage a scientific approach to life.

>> Yeah. He takes these ancient yoga and meditation sciences and simplifies the methodology. He wants to revive it in a way that actually benefits modern society, health, peace, relationships, finances.

>> And he emphasizes the word scientific over mystical terms. It's a very grounded approach. If you want to hear it straight from him, you can find his podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Just search for The Blind Muslim Yogi. He's really trying to get this message out there to help people. So giving him a follow or subscribing to his YouTube channel helps that mission.

>> It does. So let's start with the origin of the site because Osman immediately dismantles the cultural trope. When we think of clairvoyance, we picture like the storefront psychic,

>> right?

>> The neon sign in the window.

>> Yeah. Someone studying tarot or someone who sets out with this specific career goal of predicting the future. Osman draws a super hard boundary there. He does have respect for those disciplines though.

>> He does. But he states that in advanced yoga and meditation sciences, clairvoyance is never the goal. You just don't aim for it.

>> It's a side effect.

>> Exactly. Unavoidable collateral damage. It happens when a practitioner reaches an advanced stage and the third eye completely opens. And Osman hit his first samadei experience by the age of 19. So he got there early.

>> 19 is incredibly young for that level of realization, right? and the terminology he uses this idea of a spiritual byproduct. It actually tracks perfectly with a lot of discussions on the neurobiology of meditation.

>> How so?

>> Well, look at Professor Andrew Huberman's podcast, Huberman Lab.

>> Oh, I love Huberman.

>> Yeah, he's great. So, in an episode Huberman did with Sam Harris on meditation and consciousness. They talk extensively about how the brain's default mode network filters reality.

>> The bouncer at the door of your brain.

>> Exactly. The phalamus is this aggressive bouncer. We are bombarded with billions of bits of sensory data and the brain filters out almost all of it. Huberman also touched on this in his episode with Dr. Robert Seapolski on stress and his episode with David Gogggins on willpower.

>> Right? Because if you couldn't filter things out, you'd be paralyzed.

>> You'd go crazy. You'd feel the fabric of your shirt every single second. But through advanced meditation like Swami Sivananda teaches or what's detailed in Paramahansa Yogananda's autobiography of a yogi which Osman heavily relates to you are intentionally suppressing that default mode network.

>> So the bouncer takes a break.

>> The bouncer goes home and suddenly you have this radical permanent hyperconivity in the brain. You are exposed to raw unfiltered data.

>> I always think of it like a overclocking a computer's processor.

>> That's a good analogy. You know, you go to the gym or you do the meditation just for the health benefits. You just want raw processing power. But suddenly your brain becomes so hyper sensitive it starts picking up random radio broadcasts

>> and you didn't ask for the radio signal.

>> Exactly. You just wanted peace and now you have this incredibly disorienting stream of noise that no one else can hear.

>> Rick Archer explores this a lot on his podcast Buddha at the Gas Pump.

>> Oh, BGTV. Yeah.

>> Right. Rick interviews people who have had these awakenings like the his episode with Rupert Spyra on non-duality or Bernardo Castro on analytical idealism or even Anita Morjani discussing her near-death experience.

>> All three of those are phenomenal.

>> They are. And a common thread across Rick Archer's show is exactly what Osman says. Processing that sudden influx of unfiltered reality without losing your grip on daily life requires massive cognitive restructuring,

>> which leads directly to what you actually see when those filters dissolve.

>> Yeah.

>> Osma makes a really shilling distinction here.

>> Yeah, this part got me.

>> He says, "Looking into a person's past is amazing. It establishes credibility. It makes you look mystic. It's a neat trick."

>> Sure, people love that.

>> But seeing the future that forces you into an entirely different philosophical reality. Because often what you see is imminent death or an accident or tragedy.

>> And that leads to Osman's most controversial conviction,

>> hard determinism. He believes a person's time of death is absolute and predetermined. It's a locked clock. Accidents, illnesses, they happen at the exact millisecond they're supposed to.

>> The philosophical weight of that is just staggering. We are stepping out of Eastern philosophy and straight into quantum physics.

>> Which fits since he utilizes quantum and entanglement principles in his bio energy healing. Exactly. Joe Rogan has actually tackled this exact physics problem a few times on the Joe Rogan experience.

>> Oh yeah, he loves the quantum stuff.

>> He had Sir Roger Penrose on talking about quantum consciousness and the structure of the universe. Then there was his episode with Paul Stamuts which got into the interconnectedness of nature and his chat with Wimhof about overwriting biological programming.

>> All tying back to how much control we actually have.

>> Right? If you subscribe to the block universe model in physics where past, present, and future all exist simultaneously, then the timeline is fixed. The clairvoyant is no longer an agent of change,

>> which is so bleak to me. I always view determinism as passive. Like, why even try? But reading Osman's transcripts, I formed a different theory.

>> What's that?

>> I don't think this rigid belief in a predetermined clock is just a philosophical conclusion for him. I think it is an absolute biological necessity for his mental survival.

>> Oh, that is a brilliant way to frame it.

>> Think about it. If he didn't believe the script was locked, the sheer guilt of foreseeing all this suffering and failing to stop it would shatter his psyche.

>> You're identifying the defense mechanism. It's like cognitive dissonance on steroids. Believing you have the power to intervene, but constantly witnessing your failure to do so.

>> The human mind can't sustain that guilt.

>> It can't. So by adopting a framework where death is an immutable coordinate on a map, the mind insulates itself, you shift from a failing savior to a pure witness.

>> But wait, doesn't that raise a massive contradiction about the utility of this whole pursuit?

>> How do you mean?

>> Well, if you're stuck behind one-way bulletproof glass, you have absolute visibility into the future, but zero agency to alter it, doesn't that render the gift completely useless?

>> Ah, I see what you're saying. In western society, knowledge is power. If I know a bridge is out, I stop the train. But if Osman knows the bridge is out and believes he can't stop the train, it feels less like a superpower and more like an inescapable curse.

>> Yeah, it absolutely appears as a curse if you judge it through a utilitarian lens.

>> But Osman is operating from an ancient yogic architecture. Knowledge isn't a tool for manipulation. It's a mechanism for surrender.

>> Surrender.

>> Yeah. It's about achieving equinimity. The value of seeing the train crash isn't in stopping it. It's in completely dissolving your own terror of the crash.

>> Okay, that makes sense. Yeah. And he does specify one singular exception to this immutable timeline, which is interesting,

>> right?

>> Suicide.

>> Yes. He states that the only way a person can prematurely end their clock is through suicide, which he defines as an unnatural act that breaks the script. Everything else is coded in.

>> But debating that in a safe room is one thing. Living it is another. Oh, absolutely. Osman didn't just theorize about this clock. He subjected it to the most extreme realworld stress tests imaginable.

>> His early years in South Africa.

>> Yes. Let's put ourselves in his environment. We are talking about his younger business years in South Africa during severe sociopolitical unrest.

>> A very dangerous time and place.

>> Extremely.

>> Yeah.

>> Economic desperation's peaking. He needs to feed his family. So, he takes a job selling photocopers. But his sales territory includes these violence ridden townships. active war zones basically

>> literally. He describes scenarios where heavily armed military vehicles are parked on the outskirts and the army absolutely refuses to go in because of open automatic gunfire in the streets.

>> And what does Osman do?

>> He drives a tiny car right in.

>> Totally unarmed, no security, just driving through crossfire to sell office equipment.

>> You have to analyze the biomechanics of that scenario. Steven Bartlett talks about this kind of extreme stress on his podcast, The Diary of a CEO.

>> Stephen gets into some intense business psychology.

>> He does. He had Mo God on to discuss accepting reality and the mathematics of happiness. He had Simon Synynic on discussing highstakes business environments and Joe Dispensza talking about the mind body connection under stress.

>> All incredibly relevant to Osman's mindset. Barry, because what Osman was doing was at the intersection of brutal economic necessity and absolute zero arousal, spiritual fearlessness.

>> He justified it mathematically. If the clock says it's not my day, the bullets will miss. If it is my day, locking my doors won't save me.

>> And he escalated it later in life.

>> He did as he became massively successful in real estate. He drove highly expensive luxury vehicles into zones famous for armed hijackings,

>> places where a gun to the head is just the toll for entry.

>> Exactly. He endured home invasions. Most terrifyingly, he mentions his own children being kidnapped for ransom,

>> which is unimaginable.

>> Yet through all of this, he claims he never experienced or displayed an ounce of fear, and he always emerged physically unharmed.

>> Now, the knee-jerk reaction is to call that survivorship bias,

>> right? The guys who got shot aren't making YouTube videos.

>> Exactly. But that completely misses the biology of the encounters. Ranir Alabatia explores this extensively on the Ranvir show, also known as beer biceps.

>> Oh, I've seen some of his deep dives into Indian traditions.

>> Yes, Ranvir had Sadguru on to discuss the science of yoga. He had Dr. Joe Dispenszon talking about energy fields and Swami Mukundananda on mind management.

>> Great episodes.

>> And what they talk about aligns with Osman from an evolutionary psychology standpoint. His lack of fear was his primary shield.

>> How does that work practically? You'd think being oblivious makes you a target.

>> It's about how predators process autonomic arousal. Human predators scan for physiological markers in their prey, microp expressions of panic, stress pherommones, erratic eye movements.

>> They're smelling fear

>> literally. And that triggers the script to attack. But Osman enters with a flatline parasympathetic nervous system. Zero cortisol.

>> He basically breaks their script.

>> Exactly. The attackers experience cognitive dissonance. They hesitate. They wonder, "Does this guy know something I don't? Is he dangerous?" And that hesitation diffuses the violent impulse.

>> That is wild. The utter surrender of self-preservation becomes the ultimate armor. But I have to ask, how does a human mind crystallize this level of certainty?

>> It takes extreme proof.

>> Right? If I walk away from a mugging, I think I got lucky. I don't assume spaceime bent around me. For Ozaman to drive into a shootout with zero adrenaline, this concept of destiny had to be an empirical law of physics for him.

>> And that hinges on a brutal trauma when he was 19,

>> the 120 km perh catalyst,

>> the Beijian updating moment where extreme evidence overwrites the brain's models of reality. Lewis House covers this phenomenon beautifully on the School of Greatness podcast.

>> Oh, Lewis is great at unpacking trauma in recovery.

>> He had Robin Chararma on discussing elite discipline. Dr. Dr. Caroline Leaf on rewiring the brain after trauma and Wimhof again on extreme physical endurance.

>> So, how does Osman's trauma map onto that? Well, let's look at the crash. Osman is 19. He's a passenger in a pickup truck during a DUI joy ride in the mountains.

>> A recipe for disaster.

>> The driver is hitting roughly 120 km per hour and misses a hairpin bend. The truck slides off the road toward a fatal drop down the mountain.

>> And what happens in Osman's brain in that microcond? He goes completely silent. He accepts his predetermined death.

>> Spontaneous parasympathetic dominance in the face of lethal threat. Most people dump massive amounts of Norpenfrin. They panic. Osman just surrenders to the void.

>> But he doesn't die. A massive boulder perfectly positioned stops the truck.

>> The physics of that deceleration

>> devastating. The driver gets thirdderee hand injuries. The middle passenger cracks his ribs on the steering wheel. Osman smashes his forehead directly into the dashboard at 120 kmh,

>> which should be a fatal brain injury,

>> at least a massive concussion, but he walks away with zero injuries. X-rays show absolutely nothing.

>> For a materialist, that's just friction and astronomical luck. But for a 19-year-old steeped in yogic discipline,

>> the boulder ceases to be geology. The boulder is a physical manifestation of his timeline hitting the pause button.

>> It wasn't luck. It was empirical data.

>> Hard data proving that if the clock hasn't struck, the laws of physics will literally bend to keep you alive. That crash cemented his entire belief system.

>> It burned it into his neurosircuitry.

>> So, if you've proven to yourself that your destiny is sealed and you can see timelines, you'd think the next step is becoming a prophet, right? Warning everyone.

>> You'd think so. But Osman's primary rule for advanced practitioners is the exact opposite.

>> Absolute silence.

>> Total unbroken silence. And this shows a piercing understanding of sociology. He warns that speaking your visions aloud is the most dangerous thing you can do

>> because society demands consensus reality.

>> Exactly. Rain Wilson talks about this a lot on his soul boom podcast.

>> Rain Wilson like Dwight from the office.

>> Yes. He has a fantastic podcast on spirituality.

>> Oh, I had no idea.

>> It's excellent. He had Resa Alen on discussing the history of mysticism, Dr. Gabbor Mate on trauma, and Arthur Brooks on the science of happiness. And a major theme on Soul Boom is how modern society rejects mystical experiences.

>> People want predictability,

>> right? If you predict a tragedy and it happens, society doesn't reward you. They scapegoat you.

>> Osman points out people will accuse you of cursing them or using dark magic. It's easier to blame you than to admit they have zero control over their mortality.

>> It's the Cassandra complex. But Osman takes it further into the realm of modern institutions,

>> the systemic eradication.

>> Yes. He explicitly warns that talking about hearing voices or seeing the future is grounds for forced psychiatric institutionalization.

>> He applies it directly to business, too. If you're a successful business person and you talk about visions, you hand a loaded gun to your competitors.

>> They don't have to beat you in the market. They just get a judge to declare you schizophrenic and seize your assets.

>> Weaponized psychiatry for corporate theft. It's terrifying.

>> Which forces profound isolation on the practitioner. Imagine the emotional regulation required. You see a friend walking into a health crisis, but modern society mandates you just smile and pass the salt.

>> It reminds me of Tony Robbins. Tony talks so much about state control and mastering your internal environment.

>> Yes.

>> But normally Tony Robbins is teaching you state control so you can project confidence and succeed. Osman is using extreme state control to actively conceal his capabilities just to survive. He has to pretend to be blind to survive among the actually blind, which perfectly sets up the paradox of his current professional life.

>> The bridge between the mystical and the biological,

>> right? Because society rejects mysticism, he found a different language to heal people.

>> And keep in mind, he's a telepathic master who practices 18 hours a day. He claims a 90% success rate using quantum entanglement principles.

>> But he doesn't talk about auras in his clinic. No, he is stubbornly anchored in western empirical science. He refuses to replace medical doctors. He makes patients exhaust traditional medical avenues first.

>> And he strips away the esoteric vocabulary. Mel Robbins is great at translating these concepts on the Mel Robbins podcast.

>> Oh, Mel is fantastic at making things actionable.

>> She is. Her episodes with Dr. Russell Kennedy on healing anxiety, Dr. Tara Schwart on neuroplasticity, and Dr. Peter Atia on longevity. They all do what Osman does,

>> which is translating the spiritual into the biological.

>> Exactly. Osman talks about the HPA axis. He talks about cortisol.

>> He explains his bioenergy healing as a mechanism to radically calm the nervous system and plummet cortisol levels

>> because chronic stress suppresses the immune system.

>> Right? By removing that stress, he gives the body's natural defenses the runway to fight the illness. He asserts the will to live is 80% of the battle.

>> He's using psychonuroimmunology.

>> It's brilliant. He even addresses cancer this way, stating that cancer is often a result of modern lifestyles that completely deplete our natural energies.

>> And natural spirituality and yoga protocols replenish that lost energy.

>> Yes. Which reverses severe ailments with practice and time. So that's why his 90% success rate isn't extraordinary to him. It's just the natural result of boosting immunity without external blockages.

>> And he utilizes yoga nadra concepts too. Right.

>> He does, which is a massive nervous system reset. But he's also incredibly humble about his limits. He admits he lacks knowledge in certain areas like crystal therapy and he actively seeks formal education.

>> He was looking into a Harvard University yoga certification, right?

>> Yeah. And reading peer-reviewed nutrition journals,

>> which is the ultimate irony. A man who survives crashes via destiny and has telepathic abilities is stressed about getting Harvard accreditation.

>> Why do you think that is?

>> Because he understands that efficacy requires translation. Authority in the west isn't granted by enlightenment. It's granted by peer review.

>> By building a Trojan horse.

>> Exactly. He packages profound ancient healing into a language cortisol markers that a latigious skeptical society can safely digest.

>> So synthesizing this incredible journey, we started in the violent streets of South Africa, proving surrender is the ultimate armor.

>> We unpacked the physicsdefying mountain crash that cemented the predetermined timeline. We explored the agonizing burden of the Cassandra curse, the necessity of silence,

>> and we arrived at cortisol and translating quantum principles into modern biology.

>> Clairvoyance isn't a magic wand here. It's a heavy silent responsibility.

>> And whether you believe in the third eye or not, his framework is deeply pragmatic. Manage your physical stress. Trust your path

>> and have the wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain completely silent. Again, if you want to explore his methods, check out yogawwellness786.com for his free five-minute program or find the blind Muslim yogi on Spotify and Apple podcasts.

>> Like and subscribe to his YouTube to support his mission.

>> Absolutely. But I want to leave you with a final thought to maul over.

>> Let's hear it.

>> Imagine you were offered that key to unlock the absolute unfiltered truth of the future. You'll know every triumph, but you'll also foresee every tragedy and fatal crash of the people you love. with the unbreakable condition that you can never intervene.

>> You can never change a single outcome and you can never warn them. Knowing the agonizing weight of that silence, would you still want to open your
