Last year, I wrote a Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk novel about Biohacking and philosophy, wherein exotic solar particles - tachyons - harvested at CERN, in Switzerland, are used to alter consciousness and dramatically enhance human cognition. And…
Science fiction doesn’t remain fiction for long.
For the past two months, I’ve been on a cognitive enhancement stack, IgniCognition, unlike any I’ve tried before: it contains Ignitons (which is not just a cool marketing name - it’s short for eNPQ quasi-particle), which are tachyonic solar particles originally discovered at CERN.
So you can think of Ignitons in the same vein as neutrinos or the Higgs-Boson particle; something almost infinitely small that is passing through you at this very moment. Ignitons are transmitted by active stars, like our own. And in fact, you may have gotten an extra dose of Ignitons in late January of 2026, just a few days before we recorded this, as the Aurora Borealis lit up the night sky as far south as central Europe. (There’s another connection to the fictional events of my book!)
I interviewed the man behind this Nootropics stack, Ashley Grace. He has an impressive professional pedigree, serving high-level roles in the corporate world and as one of the founders of Charlotte’s Web. But what I think makes him most interesting is his relentless curiosity about what I’m going to term: applied pragmatic spirituality. So we’re going to bridge the gap here between exotic physics, practical Biohacking, and spirituality.

Try IgniCognition
Over the past 14 years, I’ve done Biohacker trials of over 200 Nootropics, and this Igniton-enhanced stack ranks up there. I was impressed with the brainpower uptick in working memory I experienced after about 30 days of being on it. But, it’s not cheap - so I suggest treating it as a sunk-cost investment into other transformative personal growth practices and an ambitious medium-term goal that you have for this year. While you’re on it, devote yourself to something demanding enhanced consciousness, and anticipate that “time dilation” effect Ashley described.
As you can tell, I really like what Igniton is about, so I’ve included them in the illustrious ranks of Limitless Mindset Secret Society partners. Pick up over $300 worth of their products, and you’ll be eligible to join our Biohacker secret society and get a free consultation session with me.
