Russell Brand? For a period of time he was angling himself as a mystic around COVID.

Did he do anything besides 2 x 20 min of transcendental meditation a day?

If that's all he did then that's too little.

Oh I really don't know. I only ever saw thumbnails of his stuff and maybe watched 5-10 minutes total of it. He really leaned into the enlightenment stuff and seemed very stage green at the time. He has fully regressed into blue. I have seen it before. There is a type of new age person who turns blue after an existential crisis. But yeah he was really leaning into the mystical stuff.

Russell is just a bullshitter. Not even worthy of quasi-mystic status.

A fair share of cult leaders, I reckon.
