In a compelling interview on the MOYA YouTube channel, Jah Cyrus, a high priest and meditation teacher from California's Silicon Valley, shared his extraordinary spiritual journey that led him to South Africa, where he now dedicates his work to healing and empowering communities. Cyrus, who describes himself as a "psychopomp" capable of helping the dead cross over, revealed how he fights against spiritual principalities, breaks generational curses, and teaches people to unlock their own inner "soft technology" for wellness and protection.
A Calling Ignited by Loss and Channeling
Cyrus's spiritual path began with a profound calling after the sudden passing of his mother and grandmother. His clairvoyant girlfriend started channeling his mother's energy, providing specific instructions to visit "energetic spots" like Mount Shasta and Sedona, Arizona, for spiritual training. These tragic losses, coupled with family disputes over his inheritance, led him to seek balance for his chakras, an encounter that unexpectedly connected him with a psychic. This psychic, crying upon seeing him, revealed his destiny, writing down a place called Divine Lineage in California, where he was initiated as a high priest.
His training, which took him to India, Peru, Belize, and across South America, prepared him for "warfare" against "demons, witches, all this type of stuff".
Missions as a Psychopomp: Crossing Over Souls and Cleansing Spaces
As a psychopomp, Jah Cyrus has undertaken numerous missions to help lost souls find peace and to cleanse places of negative energy. His work began with personal tragedies:
- His murdered friend: His friend channeled through his girlfriend, asking for help to "cross over." Cyrus performed a ceremony with white flowers and sage at the site of the murder, after which a "big gust of wind" signified the friend's passage.
- His cousin: He also helped his cousin, who died from a pill overdose, cross over.
These initial experiences grew into larger, more complex missions:
- Biltmore Estate, North Carolina: Cyrus cleansed this estate where "thousands of Africans" died from rape and torture during its construction. He facilitated the crossing over of these ancestors from an area where they used to "hang and sing".
- Dominican Republic (Haiti): Recognizing this as where the Atlantic slave trade first landed, he went to "close portals" where "entities come in and out," including "mermaid spirits." He described the energy there as "really really strong," and after closing the portals, a "big storm" flooded the city. Cyrus explained his process as "reclaim[ing] the space in the name of the ancestors" with a "legion of angels".
- Egypt: He visited Egypt not just as a tourist, but to perform ceremonies and rituals, helping "political prisoners" in the spirit realm—souls unjustly held captive, similar to how political prisoners like Nelson Mandela were in the physical realm.
- Soweto, South Africa: He identified Soweto as having "spiritual jail[s]" due to the mass burials during the AIDS epidemic, where many souls remain "stuck on the third dimension" because priests weren't present to perform proper crossing-over ceremonies. This, he states, is where "witchcraft come in at because they can use these energies and these forces".
Breaking Generational Curses and Ayahuasca Battles
A significant personal mission involved breaking a generational curse, which led him to Costa Rica for a 7-day Ayahuasca retreat, a spiritual plant medicine journey. Before even taking the Ayahuasca, he faced a severe "spiritual attack," almost dying, and found "demonic spirits attached to my orura field," even manifesting as "mermaid women" pictures on his phone. Guided by his mother's voice in his ear telling him to "Get up" and "walk," he eventually participated, fighting in the "underworld" against his demons. After six days, he "spit up a leech" and had "scars on my legs" from the spiritual battle, signifying he had "broke the curse".
Despite initially wanting to quit the mission due to fear, his mother's spiritual guidance reminded him: "You can rest but you can't quit". A subsequent failed business venture further reinforced that he needed to continue his mission, as "no clients came" until he recommitted.
Arrival in South Africa: Culture Shock and Ancestral Connection
His mission eventually brought him to South Africa via Senegal, where he first visited Goree Island to symbolically "retract the trip" of the slave trade. In Senegal, he met a high priest who was "waiting on me," cleansing dungeons filled with thick negative energy.
Upon arriving in South Africa, Cyrus experienced a "culture shock" due to the large Black population, a stark contrast to the 10% Black population in America. He was particularly struck by the warmth of being told "welcome home brother". His understanding deepened when a local healer, with a simple clap, called his ancestors, describing his mother as an "Egyptian high priestess" in gold and jewelry, giving directions for his healing.
Cyrus emphasized that African Americans are fundamentally connected to African roots through their DNA, stating, "The oldest bone was filed in South Africa which is called Lucy 3.5 million years old so our DNA is that old you think 400 years is gonna stop something?" He uses the analogy of a lion raised in a zoo, whose hunting instincts still kick in when returned to the wild, to explain that the DNA never loses its connection, it just forgets how to "hunt".
Confronting Witches and Reversed Destiny
In South Africa, Cyrus encountered a "Sangoma witch" who observed his business and crystals. The witch offered to remove a block from his sacral chakra, promising greater power. However, his mother's channeled message later revealed that the witch had "stole[n]" his gift after seeing "so much gold and water" in his aura. The gold, his mother explained, represented the "wealth you going to accumulate" and the water represented the "life you going to give". Swift karma followed the witch, who was attacked and hospitalized.
Cyrus now focuses on fighting "principalities," viewing witches and warlocks as "weak" because he operates at a "higher ranking in the spirit realm". He recounted a dramatic spiritual battle after cleansing a prostitute, where he fought and "killed" a "reptilian demon" that was spiritually controlling women involved in prostitution in Sandton. However, his mother admonished him, stating, "that's not your job no more... you being a bully in the spirit realm... stay off the [battlefield]... you can get hurt". He explained that people can die in their dreams if they are "killed" in the spirit realm, which then manifests on Earth. This advice resonated deeply, particularly after he experienced the loss of his twin sons due to witches attacking his partner during her pregnancy, underscoring the dangers of spiritual warfare and the need for protection.
Empowering Minds with "Soft Technology" and Meditation
A central theme of Cyrus's mission is the concept of "soft technology," which refers to the human body and brain as a "supercomputer" that is currently "offline". This technology, which came to him in a dream, involves using specific "codes" and "frequencies" to activate DNA and release natural chemicals like oxytocin, endorphins, and serotonin from the "pharmacy" within the hypothalamus of the brain.
He teaches that by aligning the mind and utilizing affirmations and intention, individuals can:
- Manifest desires by "placing orders in the quantum field".
- Heal themselves by consciously releasing beneficial chemicals.
- Create a "ring of fire" protection around themselves, deflecting negative energies.
Cyrus believes that Africa "lost its mindset," not its land or gold, and that meditation is key to reclaiming it. He has implemented programs in South African schools, including Orange Farm and Randburg, teaching children meditation techniques in as little as 30 seconds. His method emphasizes breathing in desires and exhaling unwanted clutter, enabling children to navigate stress and anxiety. He has also written books for children, using affirmations to help them with issues like bullying. His work also extends to helping women overcome "wealth guilt" and general anxieties.
Jah Cyrus's journey underscores a powerful message: "Our spiritual ways... are of vital importance to document... to reverse the brainwashing of the past where we were made to believe our ways are demonic". His work highlights the deep connection between African spirituality, ancient practices, and the inherent power within every individual to heal, protect, and manifest their destiny. He emphasizes that this is a time of a "big movement spiritually," an "awakening" in the "age of Aquarius," with Africa, especially its youth, leading the future.
