He&#8217;s a Youtube sensation who first caught the eye of folks online in 2013. Now, with more than 600k subscribers, he makes fun of everything from the essential oil fad, gluten intolerance, astrology,&nbsp;and Bitcoin.\n\nHis jokes are good\u2014sometimes too good\u2014and make us question ourselves a bit. That is exactly his point, these jokes roast himself too. Humor keeps&nbsp;us humble, it is the opening of a new conversation stripped of ego.\n\nAfter dropping out of college, Sears began studying holistic cultures at age 18, going on to become a life coach. After gaining recognition as someone with an acute sense of humor, he went on to write a book called&nbsp;<em>How to be Ultra Spiritual \u2013 &#8220;<\/em>a 12 1\/2 Step Guide to Spiritual Superiority&#8221;.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q_Ecmciv9zI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&#8220;I needed it for self-therapy because so much of the New Age culture and New Age practices are a part of my life and a very beneficial part of my life, yet there&#8217;s another side to the beneficial coin for everything,&#8221; Sears told the Charleston City Newspaper.\n\n&#8220;I was finding myself having egotistical agendas and judgments hiding within my new age and spiritual practices. The videos and the book [<i>How to be Ultra Spiritual<\/i>] became a way for me to shine the light of awareness on the shadow side of me.&#8221;\n\nSears compares his humor and sincerity with his left hand and right hand\u2014both are different and don&#8217;t work quite as well alone.\n\nFeature photo:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlestoncitypaper.com\/charleston\/ImageArchives?oid=14907060\">Jonathan Boncek \/ Scott Suchy<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have stumbled across JP Sears&#8217; comedy videos taking loving pokes at &#8216;New Age&#8217; lifestyles.
