Protocol Breaker

What happens when something meant to be lived becomes something that must be managed? Protocol Breaker: Spiritual Minefields explores how spiritual language, good intentions, and thoughtful systems quietly transformed relationship into administration. Without naming villains or proposing replacements, Yram Hossoo examines how pressure entered spaces once marked by ease—and how effort, compliance, and self-monitoring came to feel normal, even virtuous. This is not a religious book, a self-help manual, or a corrective framework. It offers no steps, practices, or outcomes to achieve. Instead, Protocol Breaker traces a single category error: using thought—an effective tool for coordination and explanation—to mediate what was never meant to be processed, optimized, or maintained. When that misplacement is recognized, control loosens on its own. Written in short, precise movements, the book is designed to be read—or heard—without strain. It does not recruit belief or demand agreement. It invites recognition. For readers tired of managing meaning, carrying responsibility that was never assigned, or feeling pressure where there should be presence, Protocol Breaker does not offer answers. It removes the need for them.
