Discover how to overcome fear and anxiety by applying the placebo effect to your deepest beliefs about life and death.
Dear soul, in this journal entry, we dive deep into our psyche to see that fear lies at the bottom of our constant overwhelm and franticness. I share my own emotional journey with loss, and how my fear of abandonment and loss of financial security always comes back to the ultimate fear: death.
But what if you knew you were an eternal soul? This counter-cultural philosophical exploration looks at the science of the placebo effect and how truly believing in our soul's continuity changes our present-day reality. This conviction fundamentally shifts us away from fear toward a state of love and genuine security.
Learn two practical steps to cut out fear-pumping media and become more conscious in your daily decisions. Your personal growth depends on facing these fears.
✨ If you're feeling brave, let me know what you think. Do you feel like you have a soul, even if the world says it's silly?

My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.
Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.
I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.
