The Series begins with
Cobalt Miracle: The Realm of Safanad
What is Cobalt Miracle: The Realm of Safanad story line?
A lyrical and deeply personal blend of memoir, mythology, and neuroscience, Cobalt Miracle: The Realm of Safanad is a study of mental illness, neurodivergence, and the power of storytelling to reclaim one’s truth.
The Realm of Safanad, full of lively townships and characters, brings to life the brain regions that govern emotion and memory. Based on fMRI scans, this neuromythos is real.
In Mr. P.’s brain, the echoes of childhood trauma remain—suffering that could only be extinguished through a once-thought-impossible quest: to rewrite his outdated solutions of a child, with raw grit and grace.
The brain, like any organ, strives to survive—this birth of hope is where the story begins.
Reviews from early readers
Testamonies from Early Readers
“I especially loved Mr. P’s interactions with the students – I could truly imagine him being the one teacher everyone loves and feels like they can talk to. There are moments of wonderful humor in the classroom chapters, rich with character detail and interesting use of dialect and culture.“
“This is an amazing book. It was so easy and enjoyable to read. The author’s creativity has no limits and it makes the story very interesting, entertaining, and relatable. It was also a pleasure to see how the title of the book comes to life in the second part of the book!”
“Overall, I found this book to be one of the most insightful pieces of writing that I have read recently. It was beautifully written and the ideas here will stay with me throughout life.”
“I could absolutely see this as a dialogue-opener for people with mental health concerns amongst family members and friends.”

📘 In Cobalt Miracle: The Realm of Safanad, Angel, a high school student shaken by recent trauma, finds an intuitive mentor in Mr. P, a beloved teacher who, like Angel, carries childhood wounds that still shape his world.
Through their connection, Mr. P introduces Angel to a hidden neuromythos—an endlessly imaginative world where brain regions become living townships and characters.
⛏️ The Inner Quest
As Angel begins to heal, his courage inspires Mr. P to confront his own past. Embodied through his Giant, Safanad, and three inner heroes, Mr. P must navigate a surreal landscape of trauma and imagination, facing down the pink-furred demon Radna, the haunting embodiment of suffering itself.
Together, they uncover what neuroscience knows but rarely says aloud:
Hope isn’t just a concept—it’s the brain’s tacit instinct to survive and grow.
🌿 Inspired by Real Science & Real Suffering
This story draws from the author’s lived experience as a teacher, mental health advocate, and trauma survivor. Fueled by fMRI research and poetic logic, it offers a new language for suffering — and the echoes that shape us through allegory.
