⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL ART EXPRESSION—WARNING Project Codename “Samsara” is a multimedia series, an invocation, not an argument. It is meant to be felt as much as understood—received the way you receive water, not gripped the way you grip a proof. Its voice is total and absolute on purpose; that is the register of vision, not a claim asking to be tested. The falsifiable work lives behind the other doors (The Synthesis). Here, language runs as parable, image, and current—slow down and let the connections form on their own.

Pilot

Episode 0 | Sept 20th, 2023

We emerge from what some call darkness. Nothingness. Timeless void. That which is not. Yet, in reality, we spring forth from the only place that truly exists. From where we have the ability to perceive this world for what it truly is. A vast but fleeting gleam that emanates from the shadow of absolute light, within which absolute darkness also resides.

The entire cosmos is nothing more than an idea, an imagination.

As humans, we embrace the transience of this place. As if it were our soul nature, the only thing we possess.

At the moment of our birth, our beings marvel at the spectacle of which we are a part. However, the perfect serenity of our origin is disrupted by a resounding noise that immediately puts our attention into a prison.

We shift our focus from perfection, where nothing is lacking, to a reality that lacks everything. A beautiful setting, yes, but one filled with intriguing and exquisite chaos that we cannot resist. We find ourselves entangled in an eternal compulsion to solve problems. And a titanic enigma arises as a consequence.

What are we?

Who are we?

Why are we here?

And more importantly, where are we headed?

In our frustration, we self-proclaim as the supreme predators, the indisputable sovereigns of Earth.

However, in reality, we are the sum of what little we remember about ourselves, and even what others in a similar state say about us here.

Without the maturity to access our memories consciously, we are condemned to relive them again, again, and again.

We lose ourselves completely in the pursuit of new knowledge and discoveries. Yet uncertainty drives us, curiosity motivates us, and adventure beckons us.

From the moment we allowed ourselves to arrive at this place, we were willing to risk it all, risk it: Everything.

I can confidently assert that our purpose is simple, yet complex.

We aim to know ourselves.

We chose this journey to test our determination. To challenge our inherent resistance to identifying with anything. We are born into a reality and contexts perfectly designed to put all of this to the test.

Akin to holding a red-hot coal with bare hands.

An ostensibly senseless act, but necessary if our purpose is to prove something to ourselves.

Perhaps we need eons on this Earth to finally abandon our infancy as intelligence and attain fullness.

The goal, To conquer and surpass:

• The Grand Construction.

• The Ancient Prison.

• The Eternal Conflict.

• The Enigma.

• Samsara.

Perfection and Divinity pave our way,
It's our state of origin.
And it's where we're destined to return.

Search within yourself and uncover The Truth.

The Art of Precipitation

Chapter 1

“You’re funny and weird. Why are you like this?”

Some kid in class asked me that once—watching me, as usual, off in my own world, turning everything into a joke, using my desk as a drum pad. I’d build the music in my head and tap the rhythm onto the wood; I loved the vibration of it. Everyone’s loud at that age (12-13), so I figured I slipped right under the noise—an elephant hiding behind a lamppost, certain no one could see him. Funny, seeing it now.

He kept going. “Aren’t you afraid of your reputation?” No. “Well, you should be—aren’t you afraid of what they’ll think of you?” No. “Why do you even do that if no one’s watching?”

I don’t know, I replied. I don’t need to know. I could, easily—but why? Why would I even try to know and spoil the fun? I just do it; it feels right, and I love it. He had such a disapproving face on by then—hurtful and hilarious at once; I couldn’t help but laugh. Yet I knew it all along, and I wondered: Why do people give validation more value than it deserves? Why should we miss the whole point of life over something so small—sometimes so insignificant?

To Do is to Live.

The Natural Order of Things.

Doing beats opinions. Simple. And yet, once upon a time, even I hesitated to do so, again and again. I was very little, though—almost always because of some opinion or idea I was dragging in from the memory of an old experience, either from me or somebody else, right when the concept of an "I" was being formed. But whenever I took the time to set those memories aside, to swat them away like flies and submit them like prey, what was left of the scene was the bliss and wonder of an absolute present. I lived it the way a storyteller lives inside his very own movie: savoring every small thing the character does—thinking, dreaming, watching others, breathing, building monumental little projects—and finding all of it beautiful even when he was doing nothing at all because I knew I had found something. I had found it.

I had found—The Joy of Doing.

Metadata: This work is the first forged device needed to navigate “The Truth’s Return” universe. It was originally published as an encoded LinkedIn newsletter from May 23, 2024, to July 26, 2024. A Child’s Paradox was later extracted from this work—specifically from the chapter “The Hideout.”

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL ART EXPRESSION—WARNING This work operates as a high-density cognitive and narrative space. It is designed for non-linear reading, where meaning emerges through patterns rather than sequential explanation. Multiple interpretations may coexist without contradiction. The reader is invited to slow down and allow connections to form organically rather than immediately resolving them. Readers may also use analytical tools to explore structure, patterns, and alternative layers of meaning within the text.

An additional note to the reader: if you experience anguish, isolation, or distress while reading any of this material, please seek professional help.

Context: This text is the lived, raw experience—and the first principle the rest of the universe rests on. If you want the historical case study of how all this played out across a single human life, read A Child’s Paradox. If you want the architecture I am navigating—the historical and mechanical bridge between Science and Mysticism—start with The Synthesis.

The Ambience

I used to call it “The Ambience” literally, because it was something I felt all around me. Suddenly everything was steeped in wonder—a colorful prism, full of joy, excitement, and hope—like the memory of a distant future I was somehow already feeling, like drinking water drawn from another time full of nature and wonders. It arrived at specific moments. I had a complicated childhood and was sick for a great deal of it, and here sits the paradox: the moments I felt physically worst were the ones I lived with the most absolute bliss. Right in the middle of the fever, the annoyance, and the pain, my body would protect me, and it would provide my mind a total clarity that lingered for a few days afterward. I wondered if I could hold that state while being totally awake and productive, as I sensed it was something my body was doing to help me cope with the stress of dealing with being weak.

I kept this little-big phenomenon mostly to myself for years, as I tried as a kid to explain it and failed to find the words. I usually said, “There is this ambience all around, like, that makes it all make sense, something in the air. Can you see it, can you feel it?” But explaining a very subjective experience was, and still is, a challenge, so I just focused on enjoying it—The Colors of Joy, I would later call them.

Along the way I found—hidden in plain sight—a huge door into the same state, and it opened automatically whenever I was doing something I truly loved. I enjoyed my toys, but I enjoyed far more the activities that would have me do the things myself, not consuming but creating; not seeing what others did but doing things myself and discovering it all myself. Things I could shape with my own hands out of something like plasticine or crayons, or little stories I would have my toys play; or enjoy whatever sweet melody I could come up with on my toy keyboard. It didn’t matter which. The end goal was never the asset, never the finished item; it’s far from any product. I was after “The Ambience”—that unique feeling, the state I slipped into while building. That unique micro trance was my own private discovery of what other cultures have found, studied, and refined for thousands of years: active meditation, karma yoga, flow, Wu Wei, and Zen.

When you cultivate it and devote yourself to anything for real and focus on it, that trance becomes an inevitable effect, and it opens a small gap, a small distance between the experience of life and life itself—a small room to live, digest, and reflect on what is unfolding in front of you. The more you focus on it while you do something you love and enjoy, the bigger that room gets, and the more the Joy can come in. The more you do, the bigger the feeling gets, and the smaller your own identity becomes; that unique discovery and your life experience collapse into a single thing. The gap that lets you focus on the Joy of Doing is something I think they call now “flow,” and as a child, I simply lived inside it.

The Factory Setting

Here is something most of us are never told—ever, at least not in my times back in the eighties. From what I kind of understand of the science language, I’ve found the following possible explanation of the phenomenon:

Your brain does not start from neutral. It starts from “off.” Deep under the cortex, in the basal ganglia, sits machinery whose default job is to hold a brake on movement—a steady, low “no.” Every voluntary act you have ever performed was you releasing that brake for a moment. So when you feel that heavy resistance before doing the thing, that is not laziness, and it is not a flaw in your character. It is the factory setting. Doing is not the absence of resistance. Doing is the act of getting past it.

What I believe I did was this: instead of fighting the brake downstream, I went upstream and hacked the river itself—my own thought-processing river. I learned to watch my thoughts as they formed, to stand one step behind them. That step back was the gap itself—a Zoom Out. I described this capacity in A Child’s Paradox as the Scopes: the ability to Zoom In and Zoom Out, as if I carried a sniper scope somewhere behind my eyes. Here is what I found from that gap: attention is never idle—the being is always Zoomed In on something. So the work is not to stop focusing; it is to choose where to aim, and to Zoom In on what you want to multiply. As I experienced it, the mind has no reverse and no real negatives—there is only one gear, forward, and only one time, the present. You cannot grow a “not”; you can only multiply what you land on. So I learned to land on The Joy. And once I had that, I no longer needed to wrestle the brake at all; I could release it quietly, from the inside. The resistance was never my enemy. I just found a different door than the one made of willpower; the secret was hidden in plain sight, in the basic act of letting myself be absorbed by the Joy—of Doing. There’s the window! You see it?

Floating

I understood, eventually, that it is not even what you do. You can enter this state doing absolutely nothing, because the goal is what you experience while doing it. It is like floating on seawater: you don’t have to do anything special to flow with it, as natural as walking, dancing, or breathing—you can tap into Joy itself and multiply it while Doing something that generates Joy by default. It is not the resulting project, the product, the artwork, the writing. No.

I actually believe that this state predates matter itself! It is the state of bliss we originally come from as intelligence: a place where nothing is needed, where nothing is lacking, and where we already are in absolute joy.

So, if we come from that, why not tap into it strategically to attain fullness?

When you operate in The Joy of Doing, you need little to nothing to feel absolutely happy, which ironically makes you super productive, which gives you the power to take it all, yet you don’t need any of it.

To enter this state is key. No true power can be wielded unless you are out of its reach, and that is something that must be cultivated within rather than outside.

You are happy and in The Joy of Doing, ergo, things go well. Not the other way around.

The Battlefield

There is a tale from India that my wife told me about. It says that three thousand years ago, a man named Arjuna stood frozen on a battlefield, unable to lift his weapon, undone by the weight of the outcome. The whole of the Bhagavad Gita is the answer he was given, and it opens with a single blade of an idea: you have a right to the action, never to its fruits. Act, and let go of the harvest. They had no scanners. They carried the same nervous system you and I are carrying right now, and they reached the same floor I keep reaching.

We are what we do. We are our habits—the words that leave our minds as letters, as speech, and above all as actions. Thought and action are one and the same, each shaping the other, but action is the strongest delivery system for our deepest intentions. And when you wonder what is blocking you, you will usually find it is just an opinionated memory sitting in the middle of the path, waiting to become your prey the moment you decide to take control of your life. Opinions are easy to submit, break, and reshape—through the power of action. Make action a habit, and you overwrite everything at every chance.

You see, it takes a little craziness to come to this planet; it takes even more to succeed at it.

Campfire

Nice. We made it this far—time to see what’s gathered in the bag of this first walk.

If you already played A Child’s Paradox, you know The Scopes. The Scopes are just how I named the innate ability to aim your attention: to Zoom In on something until you’re inside it, and Zoom Out until you can see the whole field. You already have them—we all do, at some level. But like any muscle, you only really feel it once you use it. Everyone is born with one; it’s just a matter of developing it through constant use.

The equation looks something like this:

• You need to get from point A to point B. But let’s assume you’re frozen—stuck for some reason you may not even be able to name.

• The usual move is to dig into why you can’t move. Don’t—that digging is just more staring into the dark.

• The hack is to drop the “why” completely and pour your whole attention into the Joy you live through doing something you truly love. It doesn’t matter if it’s a microsecond of it. Anything, as long as it’s real.

• And here’s why it works:

  • It’s like pouring water from one plant to another—except while the water is still in the air, you multiply it.

  • Now there’s enough for both. You didn’t drain the first plant to save the second.

  • You made water out of thin air, just by using your consciousness the right way.

  • The Joy you pour into the thing you love overflows, and that overflow is what finally waters the plant that was stuck. You never pushed it. You just grew so much that it got watered, too.

Your attention is your scope system.

This is why music is so important, because it’s one of the mediums that let you do everything else—though you should have your own melody running 24/7, without needing any actual music playing in your room. You can use a melody, a song, a memory, or really anything.

If you learn to be in two places at once through this technique, you can pretty much do anything with the same level of energy and the same level of results.

Like any muscle, you need to use it wisely, and don’t overdo it—just develop it.

Effortlessness in performance is the product of enormous prior effort.

The Joy of Doing needs to be summoned.

Such is The Art of Precipitation.

See what I see

In case you haven’t noticed, I live in fractals. I don’t know what it is to not be in them. I live inside a prism that hands me countless colors at once—to put it into readable words—so being easy to understand, providing simple and actionable ideas, is about the hardest thing I can do. You have no idea—hard to even explain. I had to come up with such engineering systems when I was still in the crib just to be here today, able to write these words at all. Oh yeah! Like that! So at the end of every tour I walk you through, I’ll leave a small Micro Fractal section: a micro walk with a couple of examples of what all of this looks like from a plain, feet-on-the-ground, physical point of view. This is me honoring those who have been nice to me, because there are a lot of things I can’t see that those who are totally grounded help me to see. So I learned a long time ago that we can be nice to each other. Let’s train your fractals too, as much as I’m constantly trained to be grounded—starting with the most ordinary thing there is, which I had to beat first in life. Ready?

[ Application ]

Let’s mess with—drum roll—boredom! Yes, let’s digest it!

Boredom.

You don’t want to do the thing for no reason other than it looks boring. Fine.

1st Scope: if it’s boring, that part isn’t going to change—the thing is what it is.

2nd Scope: even so, you can still draw water from it. You can draw water from a stone. You can pull a whole spring out of a stone if you know where to aim.

[ App 1 ]: You’re stuck in traffic—a dead stop. Forty minutes you’ll never get back. Hating it won’t shorten it by a second; that’s the stone, and the stone won’t budge. So don’t aim there. Aim at the one real thing in the scene with water in it: the song that happens to fit the weather, the late light hitting the building ahead, a voice note to someone you love, or even the slow tide of the brake lights. Zoom in on one of those and let it multiply. Same forty minutes—but now they’re yours, not the traffic’s. You didn’t beat the jam. You drew a spring out of it.

[ App 2 ]: A pile of dull admin: forms, a spreadsheet, the same field a hundred times over. You can’t make data entry thrilling—that’s the stone (ugh, I had so many of them back in the day—or... manufacturing thousands of metal pieces at the industrial business we had? Oh boy, I felt the pain). But you can try to run a melody underneath it, catching the small, clean rhythm of one row done, then the next, and aim there instead of at the dread. Twenty rows in, the resistance is gone and your hands are just moving. The task was always boring; you simply stopped drinking the boredom and started drinking the water you found in the corner of it.

The Key: You don’t escape a current by fighting it—you move, strategically and continuously, using your arms (your Scopes) to swim (your focus), and you let the right current—the Joy—carry you out. Got it?

Oh, simplifying is so, sooo hard for me to do! ... How did I do it? Did it work? It better have worked—it better have precipitated! I ain’t doing it again until our next stop! Chop chop, everyone! Gather up! We’ve got more places to go! Leave that behind; we’ll pick it up later... go, go, go, come on! Oh boy... I’m so afraid of heights! Difficulty is the way; difficulty is the way! How can you people live this way? Go, go, go!

Here goes the map!

Three doors into the same house—walk in through whichever one calls you:

• If you want the architecture—the historical and mechanical bridge between science and mysticism—start with The Synthesis.

• If you want the lived story—how all of this played out across one human life, from birth onward—read A Child’s Paradox.

• If you want the practice—the first working device, the one that keeps everything else anchored to real life—you’re already holding it: The Joy of Doing.

A Note on Genealogy

A small, beautiful fact of this universe: The Joy of Doing came first. A Child’s Paradox was born from it — extracted and expanded from a single chapter, “The Hideout” — and then grew into a full work of its own. So the first book fathered the second, and the second turned out to be the origin story of the first. You don’t have to bury a child for an adult to emerge. They are one and the same.

GLOSSARY — Episode 1

The Art of Precipitation

The Truth’s Return—My life’s body of work: everything I’ve found, passed through my own prism of light, and delivered as a vision—first as books, then as music, film, and the rest. A multimedia universe bringing science and mysticism to the same table. The Joy of Doing is its first forged “device.” Its research foundation is The Synthesis; its lived case study, A Child’s Paradox—a child of this book that outgrew its page.

A Child’s Paradox—The companion memoir of this universe, born from this very book: it was extracted and expanded from the chapter “The Hideout” of The Joy of Doing and grew into a full work of its own. It’s a mini book; I wrote it in less than 2 weeks—the raw, up-close account of how all of this played out across one human life, from birth onward. When a story here feels like it’s pointing somewhere deeper, that’s usually where it points.

The Synthesis—The foundational essay of the universe: the historical and mechanical bridge between science and mysticism. The architecture, the “why it all fits.”

The Joy of Doing—Both this book and the principle at its heart: to live at the level of doing, where the subtle becomes real. The first key I forged as a child to survive and the solid ground that keeps an entire inner world anchored to real life.

The Ambience—my childhood name for the state of wonder that would steep everything around me—a colorful prism of joy and clarity. It arrived on its own, often the hardest when I felt physically worst. I later found the world had other names for the doorway into it: flow, Wu Wei, Zen, active meditation, karma yoga, etc.

Flow — The modern name for that gap I lived inside as a kid: the small distance between the experience of life and life itself, where attention narrows and the self goes quiet. The room where the Joy comes in.

The Factory Setting — The brain’s default “off.” Deep in the basal ganglia sits machinery whose job is to hold a brake on movement—a steady, low “no.” Resistance before acting isn’t a character flaw; it’s the factory setting. Doing is the act of releasing the brake.

The Scopes—The innate ability to aim attention: to Zoom In on something until you’re inside it, and Zoom Out until you see the whole field. Everyone is born with one; it’s a muscle you develop by using it. Introduced here and in A Child’s Paradox.

The Art of Precipitation — Summoning the Joy of Doing on Purpose: Pouring attention into something you love until it overflows and waters even the thing you were stuck on. You don’t push the stuck thing; you grow until it gets watered too.

Micro Fractal—The grounded landing at the end of each walk: plain, feet-on-the-ground examples of what all this looks like from an ordinary point of view. My way of honoring the people who keep me grounded—and of training your fractals as they train me.

The Nature of Ice

Chapter 2

When I was little, I woke up in terror. Every single time. That was just how waking worked for me — open your eyes, and the fear is already there, sitting on your chest.

By the time I was old enough for kindergarten, the terror had only grown. I could feel it pressing down on my chest, physical and heavy. But I got used to it—“Oh well,” I’d say; you shrug it off and go. School was school.

Only one thing was ever bigger than that terror: curiosity. I was so curious about what the day might bring that even soaked in fear, I went anyway. Every morning was like walking into an unknown country full of variables that could spin out of control at any second — a dog breaking loose to bite me, someone robbing me, a car drifting out of its lane. Anything could happen. And as I walked, I saw it all, felt it all—not dozens, but hundreds, even thousands of possibilities—and I suffered every one of them at once, all of them, in a single blast, every step of the way.

If you trace almost any “I just couldn’t do it” far enough down, you don’t find laziness at the bottom. You find fear. You find TERROR.

The Freeze

And fear, it turns out, has its own dedicated wiring for stopping you. When the brain’s alarm — the amygdala — fires hard enough, it reaches down through a circuit into the midbrain, into a structure called the periaqueductal gray, and triggers freezing. This is not a metaphor. The same circuit that nails a mouse to the floor when a hawk’s shadow crosses it is in you, and it does not know the difference between a hawk and an unanswered email, a hard conversation, a project you have to deliver, a piece of software you need to deploy, the chores at home, or a blank page.

And in my case, the body didn’t stop at the brain. Around those same school years — when they finally let me walk there on my own, after going so long at my older brother’s side — my skin joined the conspiracy. Any spike of feeling, fear most of all, set off what I would much later learn is called cholinergic urticaria: needles firing under the skin, a punishment for the simple act of feeling. So the terror had a partner. The freeze pinned me from the inside while the needles bit me from the outside. (I tell that whole story in A Child’s Paradox—I called it “The Whip.”)

The Map-Makers Were Scared

This is the part nobody flatters you with: the people who drew the great maps of action all started here, scared. Arjuna — the one my wife told me about, frozen on his own battlefield — was scared. It’s the same Arjuna from the last walk; only last time we watched him drop the brake, and this time we watched him freeze. The Stoics wrote their drills because they were scared. Fear is not proof that you are weak. It is proof that you are standing at the edge of something that matters. I enjoy so much the stories my wife shares with me.

A Born Hacker

The First Terror

So here is the first thing I ever did about it, walking to that school. I couldn’t stop the flood of possibilities—so I accelerated them. I sped every one of them up so hard that they blurred into nothing. If I see everything, then I see nothing. If I feel everything, then I feel nothing. Little by little, that is how I first learned to hold the fear.

But holding it was never the real move, and stopping it was never possible. What I did instead was digest it—like food, making it part of me—until I could feel the fear itself put on a little apron and go to work. If I can imagine all of this, I told myself, then I can imagine other things too. That is how I trained my mind in those years and how I got to live a completely normal life without anyone noticing—not even my own family.

You don’t do the thing by removing the fear. You do it by making the fear part of the thing — integrating it so cleanly that it becomes just one more face in the crowd up in the stands. Let it be useful for something; fear is a defense system, after all. Today I don’t just have it under control—it works for me in wildly creative ways. Except it doesn’t answer to “fear” anymore. Now its name is Insight. And I made him bend the knee the day I was born, because the very first fear I ever felt was the fear of dying and of losing everything. That was my first experience as a human being in this world.

The Drop

I’m terribly afraid of heights—and I hide it so well that even my wife still acts surprised when she remembers it’s real; not long ago she caught herself realizing, all over again, that heights actually terrify me. It doesn’t stop me. When we travel to Mexico City, I head straight up the Torre Latinoamericana or over to the Monumento a la Revolución. At the local fairs we go right for the Ferris wheel and honestly any machine I can climb onto, though my wife isn’t a fan, so the wildest we get together is the wheel and “las conchas locas.” I have vertigo: clouds set it off, and so does anything stretching out to a horizon—I feel it already suctioning me in. But I hacked it. I came up with a basic logic for how to use my body, and that’s it. Homeostasis.

The Deeper Drop

It’s not a particular muscle to abuse—no—but it is one I like to keep active, to keep it from atrophying. Because the same vertigo I felt looking down from a tower, I felt even deeper looking at people. When I saw someone, it was the same drop: I’d stare, like I could walk straight into their life just by looking—reading every detail they carried. The gestures, the posture, the way the hair was arranged, the shoes, the movement of the hands, the breathing, the way the eyes moved. Pure vertigo. Absolute vertigo. I had to learn to control that one very young, still in the crib, because vertigo like that is completely paralyzing—and I know a lot of people live their whole lives inside it. But I learned it is something you exercise, not something you run from. You don’t flee it. You train. You beat the fear.

The War Inside

I did the same thing with my own body. There was a stretch as a kid when I simply could not eat. Brutal abdominal pain every single morning, starting the second I opened my eyes. The medicines they gave me did nothing. And because I’d look fine at certain hours, the adults sometimes figured I was making it up — that maybe I was just “afraid” of going to school. My dad didn’t always believe me; a couple of times he drove me over and dropped me off anyway. I inherited so many great things from him, including his courage to start.

The pain and that sensation of being devoured from the inside would let go around eleven in the morning. But between six and eleven it was war. Constant. Every day. For years. And if by the afternoon I felt better and got brave enough to eat something, an attack could come roaring back at any moment. They’d take me to the doctor and prescribe something new, and nothing would work. Imagine living like that every day. I wrecked more than one family outing. And still, through all of it, my family carried me—put up with me and supported me—and I felt horrible for ruining their lives. Tell me that doesn’t feel like pure terror.

Finally, around nine, a doctor looked at me and said it plainly: “This kid is completely infested.” From that day, they started giving me things that actually helped—and from that same day, the bitter taste turned into my favorite flavor. Sweet and bitter, both extremes in the same swallow. I was the host of those things, so instead of only suffering them, I learned them, weakened them, and colonized them. “Either you bend the knee,” I told them, “or we all go down together. “That is exactly how the immune system thinks. Ruthless. Committed. (The long version of that war is in A Child’s Paradox.)

The point is to use fear to beat fear. You see?

The Long Game

Here is a terror I don’t talk about much: forty years of cultivation. The Truth’s Return has been growing inside me this whole time, in private, in the dark, slow-cooking like something in an oven nobody could see.

That is not how I drew it up. As a kid I thought I’d do all of this young—start at five, at ten—and by fifteen I had a whole life sketched out: a profession, degrees on the wall, and my family and my friends proud of how far I’d carried all of us. It was my dream at that age. So many promises I made as a kid, I would have to redraw all the trajectories early on, on a constant basis, until a point where it didn’t even make sense to have a plan. And there came moments when I had to stand in front of that terror and look at it dead on—the life I had promised everyone, myself included, simply was not going to show up that easily. Life gets cracked another way.

How? Well, guess what? Bigger than the terror was the curiosity. I wanted to know what would actually happen! In the end, I found happiness and fulfillment, the absolute kind. It was never really about me alone, and it was not even entirely about what I did. Life, in the end, was all about an “us,” and the experience turned out to be a representation of the inner work I had done—my universe, my world. The outside arranged itself around the inside. The move is always the same: go inward, do the work, and resolve it there, and the rest follows through your very actions. That’s it. Be patient with yourself; let yourself grow, let yourself learn.

Don’t get lost in things; better get lost in the Joy — The Joy of Doing, which is being alive.

The Crack

Here is the move again, and it’s almost insultingly small: you do not wait for the fear to leave. You make one motion while it is still there. The freeze breaks at the joint between thought and movement—so you put something, anything, into motion. The fear doesn’t vanish; it just stops being in the driver’s seat. The body leads, and the mind — that great inventor of reasons not to — follows along behind it, like it always does.

Motion brings motion.

Same Water

Remember the last chapter. In The Art of Precipitation, the water fell—vapor condensing into rain, the subtle precipitating into the physical, the doing. Well, this is the same water. Fear is just what happens when that water freezes mid-air and locks solid. The ice is the freeze. And that one small motion—the whole being moving before the mind gives it permission—that is the first crack, the first drip running down the surface. The thaw. And once it runs, the water remembers what it always was: flow. The same flow we floated in last time. You don’t smash the ice with willpower. You let one drop move, and the whole sheet remembers it is water.

Do you see the pattern?

Thirty-Five Years

And then there’s the one happening right now, as I write this. For years and years I hadn’t drawn or painted. Then, a couple of days ago — June 4th, 2026—the painting things started arriving. The gear, the easels, the canvases, the paints. All of it.

I waited thirty-five years for this. I wanted it as a child, and I couldn’t have it this way—the conditions outside weren’t there: money, context, or all of them. But most of all, maturity. I needed maturity. The dream had to wait for the man to catch up to it. I still had what I needed, though. I can feel in my hand the paints my parents gave me on one of my birthdays—the scent, the paper, the sunlight coming through the window, their smiles, their faces, my older brother to my left, the balloons, the face of my mom, and the feeling of the wood. I can even feel the blue pajamas I wore that day. I waited about thirty-five years to relive that as the adult I am now. You know what true art is? A Life. If only you could see what I see and feel what I feel. A Life. And there are... so, so many. All beautiful. Oh—I just realized I’m wearing blue pajamas today too. I live in the fractals, remember? Life itself, to me, is the absolute and ultimate piece of art—and we happen to be it. Cherish your life, love your life, and like your life depends on it.

Because that is what those thirty-five years really were: the time it took me to reach the point in my life where I could feel safe enough to finally just... feel that again. Like a turtle that survives the path from the beach to the water—in one piece. Not that there won’t be challenges or risks ahead; the ocean has plenty. But now I can dive fully. A water turtle swims better in water, and that, to me, is what being forty years old feels like. I wanted this at ten. But the adventure of the crossing? Nothing will ever take my adventures away from me — and oh boy, have I lived.

When I saw the boxes arrive, when I caught the smell of the brushes and the paper, I turned to my wife and said, “I waited thirty-five years for this.” You think that didn’t tear me apart inside, out of pure Joy? It tore me completely apart—absolute bliss—through a subtle smile, which is all I let show.

Can you spot what hides behind your fears and terrors now? Being afraid is absolutely fine, but aren’t you curious to face it? Aren’t you curious to see what lies on the other side of it? I have so much curiosity to see what I can make now. But most importantly, I’m curious to see how happy I can feel for it. That is the Joy of Doing right there. Hidden in plain sight.

I owe it to my wife. She has been telling me for years: “I wish I could see you making art again. Go back to music. Go back to drawing, to painting. Go back to writing,” she says. “I’m so curious to see what you’ll make now. Every time you play the piano, I feel the warmth in my heart. “Ah—her divine kapha droplets of love. How not to honor that love? How not to make her even happier?

Having an angel of a woman next to you is the greatest gift a man can have in this life. What a bliss. I always say I must have done something truly awesome in one of my lifetimes to deserve such a goddess next to me.

One person who has faith in you is all you need—and we usually have more than one, if you start to think about it. You are loved. I know it. If only you could see it. Even I am writing these letters in absolute bliss, for you.

Ship the Fear

Deal with it. Deal with fear.

It’s like fear is someone standing in a doorway, trying to stop you from unpackaging something wonderful that is rightfully yours. So unpack the fear along with it and spill it all over the place. That way fear learns what it’s like to get in your way. Certainly; I’ve been the one terrorizing for ages.

Once upon a time, Fear, with his haunting eyes, looked at me face-to-face—and when he looked into my eyes, he discovered the true terror. He had found the event horizon by then and never came back from it and never will. Fear now dreams within me—a little beautiful marble I cherish too—where he calls me “father.”

Campfire

Oh, that was high! Breathe now! Eyes up — we’re on stable ground again. Listen up, everyone: what’s in the bag after crossing this bridge? You guys in one piece?

The brake from last time was general—the factory’s “no.” This other kind of freeze is older and meaner: its own circuit, fear’s private wiring, straight from the alarm down into the midbrain. The map-makers all started here, scared. The only thing that ever needs to be bigger than the terror is the... who goes for it? Yeah! You got it—curiosity. Ah, what a beauty, isn’t it? You don’t wait for the fear to go; you make one motion while it’s still there because the freeze cracks at the joint between thought and movement. The body leads, the mind tags along behind. Make the fear part of the thing, give it an apron, put it to work—and it stops being fear and starts being insight. And the whole arc, in the end, is just water remembering how to move: ice, crack, thaw, flow.

[ Micro Fractals & Application ]

So—some got stuck in the middle of it? Okay, let me throw out my lifeline again. Here we go:

Let’s mess with—drum roll — Fear, Terror & Horror! Yes, let’s digest them like the sweet little fruits they are!

Fear, Terror, and Horror.

You don’t want to do the thing for one reason and one reason only? It scared the hell out of you? Fine.

1st Scope: If it’s scary, that part isn’t going to change—so you’ll have to become bigger than it.

2nd Scope: Do you see a big mountain? Take a few steps back. Watch it shrink the farther you get, right? Now reach out and grab it like the little toy it is. You see it? It fits your hand now.

[ App 1 ] I’ve got a project to deliver—but, geez, work can be so immersive, right? Even I struggle with it. I love to just flow, doing art and printing The Truth’s Return into reality, but I know that in a few hours I have to hit pause and get the job that pays the bills done—and that terrifies me. Why? Because I drop into flow with anything I touch. If I start coding, testing, compiling, deploying, sending emails, and sending WhatsApps, I can wake up from that dream days later and find out it’s now... two years on. That already happened to me. I got hooked on work, a degree, and a hundred other things. I knew the mission would take a while, but that one maneuver cost me two years. Two years! I climbed back out two years later, and here I am. I mean, literally, I published “The Jump” on LinkedIn on May 7, 2026, when “The Eye” had been posted on July 26, 2024; and from the 15th of May to the 25th, I wrote A Child’s Paradox while zoomed into “The Hideout.” Did I just lose two years? Just like that? Yes, I did.

The terror is real. But so what?

It’s all a game in the end. When I take my distance from it, what do I actually see? A big drama in a single drop of water. That’s it. It is not about the activity; it is about how I feel while doing it. Nothing is lost; it all just transforms.

See what I did there? I made myself bigger than what I feared the most, right on the spot. I didn’t deny it; I didn’t negate it. I just digested it so deeply it’s pretty much gone now. I dealt with it. Simple.

That, by the way, was a real example. So you see I give my own too—I live through all of this every day. I’m not just pretty words either.

[ App 2 ] A hard conversation with a friend or a family member, one that needs to happen and that you’ve put off far too long. A knee needs to bend—yours or theirs, or both—and once that’s decided, here’s the move:

You can’t always make it less awkward. That part’s settled, right?

So find the closest emotion to what the outcome should ideally be—and grab a support token. The way a kid grabs his teddy bear. Anything that anchors you, anything to hold on to: a memory, a melody, a physical object, a picture. A track you love works beautifully—set it in front of you. Drop the volume low, let it run, enter its rhythm, and after you’ve heard it enough... make the call, holding on to that emotion. You can even take the whole thing outside: Make the call from a mall, walking down the street, or from a bench in the park. SET THE MOOD FIRST, got it? And make your move right around it — just before it takes place. That’s the trick.

And in the middle of it, if it gets heavy, say it to yourself, quietly:

I’m dealing with it. It’s only pain. Wounds need to be taken care of. Dodging it won’t make it go away.

Those little mantras are your counter-punch. You eventually learn to be your own cornerman—got it?

As kids, when a wound needed cleaning, we’d cry a little, remember? Try this only with wounds you can handle. If a wound is too deep, don’t play surgeon on yourself—do yourself a favor and go to a clinic to get it treated. In this case, a professional of the mind to help you carry it. The fact that so many of us tough nuts survived without one does not make it okay to skip the help when you actually have the choice. In my day, I only had myself for the complicated things. These days there’s help everywhere—you live in paradise. There are so many trained, ready, brilliant people who want to help — and even they have their own people helping them. So don’t be ridiculous: raise your hand if you’re hurt. We’re adults. We’re not alone. We have each other—remember?

The more you practice this, the more you’ll enjoy it. Even pain can be enjoyable when it’s taking you somewhere: the pain of the gym, of eating well, and of working on things you don’t love; the pain of growth, of good decisions, and of letting go. Take your distance; see the whole picture—isn’t it an absolute piece of art? You need to go to the mountains more. I’m the third one—I’m up there all the time; I just send my body back down. My heart stayed on top of the mountain so I could show you the view. You remember? The story of the three kids in the previous chapter?

The Key: You don’t melt the ice with willpower, and you don’t wait it out either. You let anything get bigger than the fear—curiosity will do—and you move on it once while you’re still frozen. That motion is the crack; the thaw takes care of the rest.

Oh, interesting! I’m getting the hang of it! It didn’t hurt that much this time, which means I might even trust you one day and that I could get used to this.

And there’s the current, already carrying you. On your feet—the ice only looks solid from the chair.

My wife always tells me, “Difficulty is the way.” “Difficulty is the way,” I repeat.

I owe so much. I love you, baby; thank you so much for everything and for that protein bar you just dropped at my desk.

Living the dream.

GLOSSARY — Episode 2

The Nature of Ice

A Child’s Paradox — The companion memoir, born from “The Hideout,” a chapter of this book, and grown into a work of its own. When a story here points to something deeper—”The Whip,” the protozoa war, the two brothers—that’s where the full version lives.

Cholinergic urticaria (”The Whip”)—A real, years-long nerve condition I lived with as a child: any spike of emotion fired needle-like pain under the skin. I named it “The Whip” long before I knew its medical name. Its full story is in A Child’s Paradox.

The periaqueductal gray (PAG)—a structure deep in the midbrain that the brain’s alarm (the amygdala) reaches down into to trigger freezing—is the same circuit that locks a mouse to the floor under a hawk’s shadow. It does not tell the difference between a real predator and a hard email.

Insight (formerly Fear)—What fear becomes once you stop trying to remove it and learn to integrate it instead—give it an apron and put it to work. A defense system turned creative. It bent the knee the day I was born.

The Two Brothers—A balancing tool from childhood: moving through my inner worlds as two at once—an older brother (logic, strategy, and structure) protecting a younger one (raw emotion and instinct). Roles I held, never selves that held me. Central to A Child’s Paradox.

The Crack / The Thaw / Same Water—The chapter’s spine: fear is water frozen mid-air (the freeze). One small motion while still afraid is the first crack. The crack becomes the thaw, and the thaw becomes flow—the same flow from Episode 1. You don’t smash the ice with willpower; you let one drop move.

The Scopes—The ability to aim attention: Zoom In to enter a thing, Zoom Out to shrink it down until it fits in your hand like a toy. Introduced in Episode 1 and in A Child’s Paradox.

Support token—Anything you hold onto to anchor yourself before a hard move: a memory, a melody, an object, a picture—the grown-up version of a kid’s teddy bear. Set the mood first; make your move right around it.

The Key — The one-line takeaway of each walk. Here: you don’t melt the ice with willpower, and you don’t wait it out—you let something get bigger than the fear (curiosity will do) and move on it while it’s still frozen.

Difficulty is the way—a line my wife gives me and I repeat: the resistance isn’t the obstacle to the path—it is the path.

Chapter 3/20 (Being edited) —
Come back later!! :D

A Child’s Paradox

I just learned to hide it.

Is remembering a way of living? Or is living, in fact, a way of remembering?

On May 1st, 2026, I woke up with irritated eyes. For months by then, often when I stepped out in the early morning to take some sun while looking at the flowers I had planted, my irritated gaze had been catching waves along every distant line—edges of things rippling, moving on their own. Like the heat shimmer you see in the distance on a hot road, except indoors, except everywhere. “My vision has seen too much; it must be overheating,” I figured—or maybe I had simply been running on too much Pitta these past few weeks, and the cells in my eyes—those tiny watchers of the skies, gazing through my atmosphere at the celestial phenomena I present them every day—were simply asking me to bring the fire down. But really, what was happening was that the light itself was deforming as it entered me. The light came into me differently. I imagined it was just the irritation, but no—the light bent on its way in. Maybe it was time to activate the forty-year-old’s midlife crisis—sounds like a good plan, honestly.

I would have to throttle back again. For ten years now—since I was thirty—I have lived outside the standard rhythm of work; not retired from the building, only from the grind. At that age, caring for my health stopped being optional. So whenever the fire has been burning too hard and needs to cool, I find myself tempted to open my memories.

Most times, when someone wants to remember something, they go to a photo album or, these days, straight to Google Photos. I prefer not. If I want real memories, I only have to look inward.

Each time I open a memory, I must be willing to feel it. Whether the memory is beautiful or sorrowful, I must be willing to suffer it in equal measure. It is not that I have a photographic memory in the visual sense—maybe once I did, but less so now; I have learned to ignore, to save resources. But where I have no mercy with myself is in my emotional memory. There, my memories are absolutely photographic. If I decide to open one, I live it; I experience it again. I would even venture that my brain gets marked every single time I choose to remember something, because for me a memory is walking down a path—a road I take with my whole body.

What is a life if not a memory?

What is a memory? What is a “sense”? If you were given the opportunity to access your whole existence consciously, would you do it? Being able to see everything at will—all you’ve lived, felt, and thought... Would a mind be able to handle it?

Note: This is a live book. It evolves with me—paragraphs may shift, sections may grow, details may sharpen. If you return, expect changes. [ V. 03/June/2026 ]

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL ART EXPRESSION—WARNING

This work operates as a high-density cognitive and narrative space. It is designed for non-linear reading, where meaning emerges through patterns rather than sequential explanation. Multiple interpretations may coexist without contradiction. The reader is invited to slow down and allow connections to form organically rather than immediately resolving them. Readers may also use analytical tools to explore structure, patterns, and alternative layers of meaning within the text.

An additional note to the reader: if you experience anguish, isolation, or distress while reading any of this material, please seek professional help. Read the epilogue before continuing.

Context: This text is the lived, raw experience. If you wish to first understand the architecture of the universe I am navigating—the historical and mechanical bridge between Science and Mysticism—I highly recommend starting with my foundational piece: The Synthesis.

Memoirs from the Sandbox

I mean, it’s all in there somewhere, right? If everything is found deep in your subconscious mind—like layers of a tree—is all of it written in what is known as time?

If so, where is everything recorded? Where is the present? Where is the past? Where is the future? What is the brain but a desktop to the soul and the spirit? What would life be if, suddenly, we could see the unseen? Where is the spirit? What is a spirit? What is a soul? When is it the soul and not the spirit, or the spirit and not the soul? What is a dimension? How many dimensions do we live in? Where is God exactly in all of this? What is God? Why do we have to die to see God? Why do we have to die? Why does life exist? What is life? Where is the fun in all this? What is a life but a message?

What guarantee is there that the red I see is the red you see? We could each be looking at entirely different colors our whole lives and never have any way to tell. The word “red” would line up perfectly between us, and the experience underneath it could be completely different.

What if we are a different person every single day—but because we inherit the body’s memories, we never notice the switch? And if it could happen daily, why not every hour? Every second? How would we ever know? Hey, eyes up!

I began asking these types of questions to everyone around me from the time I was about three years old until I was ten. Yet, those were just the easy ones. The hardest questions I asked were not about the universe, but about the people themselves and their very own memories. I asked everyone not because I lacked answers but rather to confirm my own observations and life experiences. I needed to see if I was just creating this whole thing in my mind or if, in fact, there were others who shared the same type of data, journeys, and discoveries about the fabric of reality we all inhabit.

Some people say that you change through life, but I say the following: You change through birth. For me, my entire existence has been a single, continuous day. From the moment I was just a mathematical potentiality and being formed in my mother’s womb to this very second, I have lived only one day. In my perception, the passing of days and years has been nothing more than a blink. It is not that I haven’t changed at all—that would be illogical. The physical body changed, it grew, and the mind adapted. But my core—my very own burning sun that gives life to this body—has not changed. I am the exact same consciousness I was when I took my first breath. Today I am an adult, yet my childhood feels as though it happened just a few hours ago. I perceive absolutely everything from a constant, absolute “present.” My present has never changed.

You don't have to bury a child for an adult to emerge.
They are one and the same.

Since I can remember, I have always felt a kind of electricity running across my whole body. I experienced this primarily in two centers: the first was in my heart and chest—a high-speed spinning energy emitting pulses, like a portal, a sonar, or a machine. The second was right on my forehead, where I felt a constant movement, a continuous, very low-level vibration. Right where my nevus simplex (birthmark) is. I call this overarching machinery: “The Vortex”. Somehow, thanks to this living energy in motion, I was able to see the fabric of reality itself and its wonders, all of it hidden in plain sight. I was able to connect to whatever shared this same type of electricity and field, which, in fact, is almost everywhere and in everything. I am that electricity; I am that field.

The experience I am about to share is a subjective one. I have waited forty years to sit down and remember where I come from, to write down and tell my stories through text. I had already documented all of it through music, whose patterns let me access these memories faster—so this episode is to share how I perceived and experienced everything, how it evolved, and how I perceive it to this day. Regardless of the psychological, sociological, or medical background…

While editing this chapter (May 22, 2026), I just learned that these phenomena have recently been carefully studied by science, I guess I was too busy to even notice. But I just have set myself free to start reading, I will start reading books now, at almost 41!

…I wanted to cross every path and experience it fully, completely undisturbed by any external opinions or interventions that might have disrupted its natural form. I am, after all, the chief researcher of this particular experience I call “me.” I took the term “self-discovery” very seriously. No one who has never been lost has ever found an interesting place.

We create nothing, yet we express everything. And still, imagination does not exist—only creation.

I believe that mystical experience is something all humans should be able to attain, access, learn to navigate, and use in their lifetime. It is a magical part of who we are. To cut this out of a life like a weed is to miss out on an entire dimension that is inherent to our material nature, to our hearts, and to our very existence. Still, I believe that experiences as intense as mine are only run, executed, and lived as strong survival mechanisms—only when you truly need them. Pursuing them from the outside in a non-natural way, without proper insight or a deep understanding of the field, can turn into a dangerous, tricky ride where people often become obsessed. Therefore, research documentation such as mine is useful; it’s the case study I’ve worked on my entire life.

Having such a vivid, rich inner experience gave me the resilience and the capacity to face life and all its hardships. But above all else, it simply made me deeply, immensely happy, and optimistic enough to carry the immense weight it represented. I just learned to hide it.

Let’s begin.

Birth and Early Years

I always had access to memories that most people probably only lived once and forgot. And should they remember a bit of it, they would probably dismiss it: “It’s just fantasy,” “Just imagination,” or simply give it zero thought. As a baby, there was a point in my life where it felt like I had all memories right there in front of me, just waiting for me to open them, one by one, along with what each one of them represented.

None of this was there to make me feel special or to feed my ego out of vanity or useless entertainment. No. You see, this is no hero story, no savior complex, and no sage initiation. Far from it. This is the story, and the resulting complex structures, of someone who had to open his eyes wide in order to survive. I had to increase the chances of survival at birth for both myself and my mother in a precarious, life-threatening situation we had just endured. It was a trauma that later unfolded into a full understanding of what being born truly represented for me.

Looking at it from the outside now, I believe that from the exact moment I was born, the act of opening my eyes meant that my brain’s hemispheres instantly connected—or at the very least, established a remarkably strong bridge between them. This early neurological embrace gifted me with a profound metacognition. My mind developed within a hyperconnected brain, forced to process pure survival and absolute awareness simultaneously.

Important: Memories are just like people; they have a lineage. Every time you remember something, you have to recreate it. Regardless of whether the original information gets slightly altered in the process, the end meaning and result remain the same—just like a lineage, but in a memory state.

For me, memories have always been entirely vivid. While some may naturally lose minor details as time passes, I can reconstruct absolutely all of them because they are “tuned memories”—highly refined, dense, and intense material. Accessing a memory is not a passive act of remembering; it is a literal transportation. I can step back into any moment from my past and experience it with complete, luxurious detail, feeling exactly as though I am physically standing right there in that very second.

Early Childhood Experiences and Memories:

• Consciousness: I have reconstructed early memory templates that I can now navigate as if they were a 3D environment in my mind—pieced together from somatic fragments, family accounts, and the patterns my body still carries. Inside that reconstruction I can step into things like being in a crib, throwing my baby bottle out of it, and asking for more—unable to speak, just mad and crying like the little baby I was. I got incredibly bored there and just wanted people to come visit me. Being a baby was honestly the most uncomfortable thing in the world. I revisit the babbling, the attempts to communicate, even the times I fell down. There was a profound hunger for absolutely everything at that age; new experiences were all I wanted, and they were all right there. I also reconstruct the very first impressions of this blurry, weird, strange new experience right after being born. Yes, as crazy as it sounds—and yes, navigating it now is like watching a movie I am also inside of. What I can say is that the reconstruction is consistent, navigable, and useful.

• Senses & Crash Landing: I remember the white, cloudy sky and big trees near our house, the scent of the plants, the singing of the birds, and the sound of horses, cows, and cars. I remember seeing myself as a newborn baby, about a month old, trying to understand the distress in this being that appeared as visual patterns—which I later realized were my grandmother’s eyes. Both my mom (her daughter) and I had almost died due to medical malpractice. All these things are what experts say the brain typically ignores and bypasses so you can function in life. If we were fully aware of everything that is part of us and around us, it would probably leave us unable to move, or even unable to think.

• UX (User Experience): From the moment I was able to sit up by myself, it was like I could tap into the essence of things, moments, and situations. I could feel them, almost seeing through them—from simple objects like toys to moments and emotions in different parts of the house and everywhere else that was new to me. People were no exception. Life felt like being in an immersive virtual experience the whole time; I was there, yes, but at the same time, I was not. I had no choice but to learn how to live with this strange interface. Gladly, I was just a baby.

• Scopes: I realized early on that if I focused my attention on something, I would immediately immerse myself in it. I was able to zoom in and zoom out, as if I had a sniper scope embedded in me—not in my physical eyes, but somewhere else. It was like having a dream while being totally awake, with my eyes wide open and fully aware. Because of this, I had to get used to being in multiple places at once.

• Multi-thread Processing: You actually know this feeling, I’m sure. Try it: When you run a basic arithmetic operation in your head... you still listen, observe, and interact with the room, but you are processing “something” “somewhere” else. In my case, however, the layers of attention were starting to nest—one on top of the other, one next to the other, underneath, and inside of it. It was a beautiful phenomenon happening right in front of me. I didn’t even have to try or invent any of it. It was a machine. Like sleeping while sleeping. Have you ever dreamed that you were sleeping inside a dream?

Early Childhood

That state of mind was brief at the beginning, oscillating in and out. It felt as though I had to “unzip” all the data I had experienced during those brief moments. Once downloaded, the task was to understand it and, eventually, feed from it—turning a cognitive knot into usable energy. It was so exciting that I wanted more and more, like finally being breastfed, but this time, from reality itself. Yet, it wasn’t always pleasant, as I experienced many things that remain incredibly hard to explain to this day.

I officially started my research when I was about three or four years old. For me, the “Joy of Doing” was never just an option; it was the first key I forged to survive. I was not interested in simple things. Knowing the basic systems of the world was boring to me, as I could see how bored everyone else was under their masks; some systems were too simplistic, based on simple inertia, and the printed version of the world was always a bit pessimistic, ergo disappointing. I wanted more. My goal was to understand the underlying mechanics of reality itself—the rules not written in any books or languages taught anywhere; that right there, to me, is where the fun was.

THE LAB:

• Data: The memories of every single day were like precious jewels and marbles I cherished. Having this “vision” to gather data 24/7 from dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of layers of perspectives of a single event was the pure bliss of discovery. To be precise about what “vision” means here: I am not describing seeing any of this with my physical eyes. The data arrived as a kind of ideasthesic and synesthetic processing—my mind would render the information internally as patterns, shapes, colors, or geometries on a secondary mental screen. The physical world in front of me remained exactly as it was; the rendering happened inside, like a projection.

• Storage: These memories were not stored as mere thoughts or words, not even ideas. They were stored as raw feelings and emotions throughout my entire body. But when the data load was too heavy, I noticed they were being stored somewhere else. Sometimes it felt like I could actually touch that place, but not with my physical body. This led me to discover the mechanics of storing memories inside other memories and data inside other data and literally “pasting” them onto physical space itself—onto toys, clothing, and places. Existence itself became a canvas I could write on. Everything, in essence, is writeable.

• Upside-Down: I loved running experiments with my own body. When I was around three, I remember playing around with my sight. I didn’t touch my physical eyes but rather played with the visual signal itself. Suddenly, my vision flipped completely upside down—up was down, and down was up. The effect lasted for about a minute and threw me so off balance that I got scared. “What if I can’t flip it back?” The test was completed; I recovered my normal perspective a little later, cross-checked the data, and never played with that specific switch.

• Nature: I could tap into nature so deeply that I would actually have such magical visions and dreams of being animals. I remember being in flocks of birds. I remember “being” horses, cows, bees, and butterflies. I recall experiencing life as the grass and the trees. But most of all, I cherish the memories of being “the wind.” I thoroughly enjoyed flying completely free, roaming unburdened. Soon, I started to learn how to be more than one thing at once and, eventually, to be “all” of it. I never bothered testing if this went beyond my subjective experience into the shared objective reality; I wasn’t interested then. My surroundings felt like a neverending game anyway, and there was too much to explore. I would save those validation efforts “for when I’m old.”

• The Empath: By age five, this skill of tapping into and feeling anything led me into complex dilemmas—especially when I tapped into pain. If I saw people who were sick or hurting, I would immediately suffer with them. Once, I was riding in the car with my dad when we had to stop because a person had taken a hard, high-speed fall on the sidewalk. It was deeply tragic. I returned home unable to stop crying because of what I had witnessed and physically felt. Thankfully, my dad showed compassion for my sorrow: “Oh, you sensitive little one, don’t worry, he will be all right.” - This happened all the time, so much that it made no sense how people were to one another: street discussions, fights, people yelling on the road, always angry, always fighting, and always someone hurt.

• Little Ones: I simply could not prevent myself from caring too much or even loving people unconditionally. When I looked at others, I didn’t see strangers; I saw myself, perceiving them as a direct extension of my own being. It was as if everyone I encountered was my own small child, my little one. I have always looked at the world through this protective, paternal lens—even my own parents. From my earliest years, I saw them not as looming figures of authority or such but as “my little ones”—precious, delicate souls who needed to be held, cared for, and shielded from the harshness of the world; everyone was, to me, a soft, delicate soul behind all masks, like children.

  • The reason I saw people that way and still do is simple. Watching a life from the outside is not the same as living it. Living it means carrying the full weight of that person—their history, their fears, and the cost of every decision they make from inside their own body. It is easy to criticize football players from a couch in front of a TV; standing on the field, carrying that weight, is a different matter entirely. Precisely because I understand and feel pain from the inside, when I open my eyes I see everyone as a child. Not as someone smaller than me—just as someone carrying weight nobody on the outside can fully see. This is really hard to attain and keep; I would eventually learn how getting angry at everyone kind of “protected” me—what a paradox.

• Tuning Memories: Because my mind experienced everything as layered data, everything to me was, even to this day, in essence, memories. When I interacted with people as a child, I had an insatiable desire to ask them about their lives. It wasn’t simple nosiness; I wanted to step into their world, to feel their memories alongside them, and help them fine-tune those recollections. Sharing their stories allowed me to touch their inner templates, helping them order and process emotional landscapes that often got stuck in loops. Some ideas can be troublesome. I remember asking pastors when I was about seven or eight if it was possible to remember things from before I was born. Gladly, I was just dismissed as a kid with a great imagination.

• The Knowing: These experiences and “visions” did not happen visually or optically in the physical world when I was awake. I didn’t experience hallucinations. Instead, they occurred entirely in my mind. When awake, I simply know. I rationalized the data, and my mind rendered everything on a secondary plane or screen—a synesthetic mechanism, where information arriving as one modality gets rendered internally as another. This phenomenon is best described as an absolute state of “knowing.” When I chose to deepen this “knowing,” all the intricate details, multidimensional aspects, and nuances would render themselves automatically on that inner screen. It was a cognitive and intuitive structure, not a sensory illusion. This was key; I didn’t want to lose my mind. I was very aware of what “crazy” looked like from seeing people struggling with mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism around the local market.

• The Fabric: As soon as I could, I divided reality into multiple levels, from Level -2 (and below) to Level 3 (and above). These core levels were my “default” reach, as far as my observations let me by then, based on how “subtle” the patterns were. Level 3 was the standard material plane where life is normally executed by human beings. I learned how to exist there when I needed to cool off, for obvious reasons. Objective reality, or normal 3D, is where you can “rest” more if you are unaware of any of these other things and levels. Still, I built my primary research station at Level 0—the place where the magic happens, which is truly complex and adventurous. It was near the physical realm but far enough from it, possessing a powerful, subtle UX (user experience). From there, I could easily access my very own constructions 24/7. Suddenly, the entire universe was a clear canvas to me. I built in there like a “panel” from which I felt I could operate everything and keep it as a safe place. Life is a hyper-focused ‘solid’ dream. To me at least.

• The Night Shifts: Since I was about three, phenomena like being “somewhere else” or “outside” my body became completely normal, even while awake. I would just leave a “thread” attached so I could work simultaneously on multiple levels while having a normal regular life as a kid. I had a lot to study on this “other side.” I remember roaming through comprehensive mental projections of my house in this out-of-body state, “cleaning” it—removing subtle, invisible things that felt wrong and observing how those changes would immediately reflect back onto “Level 3” (the physical world). I did this for years, always guarding the house, sometimes for entire seasons; it was really exciting for me, as it felt like I was a double agent, a normal kid by day and like a vigilante at night. In that unseen subtle realm, very few people came in and out, briefly, before they would dissolve, like it was just for a moment that their thoughts crossed mine, and the place was often empty and “glitchy.” For instance, I would turn a corner, and the entire landscape would suddenly change, forcing me to retrace my exact steps just to return. It could get spooky too, with unexpected visitors and entities I had to confront. The way I perceive them, they are life forms—subtle ones: some, like viruses, are inert until the host's own life animates them and they run like nasty automatons; others are more advanced, closer to bacteria and bigger organisms. Some were born of my own unprocessed material and karma; others I had picked up from the people I crossed. Over time I learned to understand them, face them, contain them, bring them under my own command, and even purify and digest them. After enough of these encounters, they had no choice but to follow me and submit. I promptly named these places in this subtle realm “The Simulations” or “The Scenarios,” which later evolved into “The Arenas.” It was my very own sandbox of reality, where I have spent most of my time while sleeping and even awake, as I learned how to be in all these places at once up to this day. I have always considered myself a scientist researching the unknown—so exciting! As I perceive it, being able to interact this way with life has given me an edge; we usually do all this unconsciously, and for a very good reason. Getting lost in the ocean is easy; not everyone makes it. Learn to swim first.

• The Voice: Awake or asleep, but especially when asleep, I was constantly narrating my life and everyone else’s. I still do, just as I am writing these stories now. I am the narrator, and I genuinely enjoy that role—living from inside the narration, watching, describing, holding the thread. At first, I thought it was the voice of God, but it also felt very mine. Later on, I concluded that at that level, they could end up being one and the same. I am happy at that level of experience. Because my work in the unseen world was so important to me, I built multiple “Arenas” with layers of protection, as things could go wild in my lab.

• The Thought Patterns & The Science of Connotations: Where did I get these tools? I derived my own thought patterns mostly from pure observation of nature itself. Since I was very young, I learned to detect the “divine patterns” in all the environments. I have always been able to feel “God” in absolutely everything—hidden in plain sight. As I began to interact with more people around the age of six or seven, I realized that absolutely everything had an “association” and a “meaning,” a lot of it. I discovered that when I changed my own internal posture or perspective regarding something, I effectively “change” it within myself. To navigate this, I developed a framework I originally named “The Thought Patterns” and established specific “Levels of Power.” These were internal protocols I used on myself to modify how I held and reacted to the world around me. I tested it constantly, and it became a lifelong practice. From those Thought Patterns I built a working system I called The River of Thoughts Practice—my own way of debugging the "programs" running in me, catching viral thoughts before they could install themselves. To address the heavier patterns I picked up from others, I evolved these concepts into “The Science of Connotations”: a way of increasing my own vibration / frequency / energy and momentum so that my own internal state would remain stable in any room. It’s like the blending of thoughts, emotions, and ideas and getting a resulting one in return, like mixing paintings of different colors to get a specific color. Thoughts alone are slippery—a truly viral thought can't be fought head-on, thought against thought. Underneath each one sits an emotion: its nucleus, its real engine. The Science of Connotations works one layer deeper, at that emotion. Neutralize the core and the viral thought simply loses its power. I applied this in the physical 3D world through mere presence and subtle information contact. We communicate one hundred percent of the time, whether we want to or not. The unconscious of every person is always broadcasting and receiving, regardless of what the conscious mind is doing; what I learned was simply to make my side of that ongoing exchange conscious. Most people communicate non-verbally without knowing it. I learned to do it on purpose, with warmth, attention, and physical presence as the carriers. Among thousands of little cues, we always mix ourselves with others on how we feel; emotions can be contagious, I deduced. They could also be refined. After all, our life itself is a message, nested within millions of other messages.

• Synchronization: The way I reconstructed my memories, even those when my body was still forming in my mother’s womb, is remarkably similar to how paleontology operates in the present: taking fragments to reconstruct and project exactly how things were in the past. The only difference is that I actually possess the internal technology to enter those reconstructions immersively... to step directly into the memory of the things themselves. Over the years, I learned to develop and master this system, which I named “Synchronization.” Executing it felt just like trying to board a moving fighter jet mid-air—I had to perfectly match its immense speed, spin, and chaos to successfully slip inside my own deep simulations. It operates on the exact same principle as pendulum clocks, which naturally synchronize their rhythm to the strongest one in the room. In other words, I use “empathy” with things and calculate their history, but we can do that with our bodies too and track the lineage of our very own cells. We are in the end, the sum of all that makes us, us, right? Well, because of this, I’m connected to all my cells; a human has about +30 trillion, and when you get in sync with all these, you discover absolute wonders of nature right within your being and your reach—wonders that have always been there, but we just miss them due to distraction.

• The Hidden Network: Throughout my many observations, I rediscovered the profound, networked influence we have on each other from my very own prism of life experience. There are countless hidden networks all around us, and they cannot be hidden once you start detecting them. Consider “culture,” for example. As we know it, it is formed by subtle elements such as language, clothing colors, styles, gestures, eye movements, postures, and ways of walking; music; television; art; the gossip people pass to each other across counters and screens; and the daily transfer of emotion from one person to the next. It’s an entire dimension on its own; it’s a huge realm hidden in plain sight, co-living with us, through us, and not only us but also the entire animal kingdom and even the plant kingdom. All emotions transfer and permeate even from country to country, through multiple media, and even through air, as the dust that comes from the Sahara has its very own signature and its very own messages. Consider the light of every star we have a micro-subtle influence from; see it or not, WE ALL INFLUENCE EACH OTHER. None of these emotions stay neatly inside one single body. In this example, culture itself is like a liquid thing, a cloudy thing, a shared medium, a broth in which we all are connected to one another. And not all of what travels through that broth is healthy; just as habits, not all of them deserve to be living inside us, making a home in us. Much of it needs to be purified. That is simply the right thing to do—for ourselves and for everyone we touch downstream. It is, in essence, the unconscious dimension of being human, operating beneath all our spoken exchanges. From my observations, that is part of what is known as the spiritual realm, the subtle realm. I do not say it is “all of it”; no, there is more, a lot more. What is known as spirit, to me, is pure emotion—information by another name. The discerning of spirits, the transfer of spirits—what the church gave those names, I have only ever met as emotional discernment and emotional transfer. One event, two vocabularies.

• The Two Brothers: While I was always “the voice” narrating everything, there was another fundamental aspect of my inner travels. In many of my journeys, simulations, and many “Arenas” and inner realms, my avatar was not singular. I existed as two people at the exact same time: two brothers. For many years during my childhood, I projected the image of my real-life older brother into my mind. I associated this “older brother” persona with my intellect, calculation, logic, and strategy, while the “younger brother” embodied raw energy, emotion, and instinct. The older brother always protected the younger brother. I navigated these inner worlds as both simultaneously, feeling the distinct qualities of each. It was a fundamental balancing mechanism for me back then, and even now, I sometimes find myself operating through this dual perspective and even bringing more processors if needed. Now that I think about it, I can have multiple conversations with different people at once forever, so it was something like that, like using both hands at once to do something different, like playing the piano, which I loved.

• The Paradox: I was the type of baby who hated having photos taken, especially with a “flash,” as I remain highly photosensitive to this day. I always covered my eyes outside, yet I loved the outdoors. I enjoyed crowds, the noise, and the drums of live music or big speakers, yet I have always been deeply sensitive to sudden loud noises and got scared by anything all the time as a kid. I was extremely ticklish and hated being touched—I wouldn’t even let anyone touch me. In kindergarten I would extend my hand to say hi to my teacher and wouldn’t even let my mom hug me sometimes—yet I loved to hug her, and I deeply desired to touch and connect with everything and everyone. Today, I am the type of person who walks down the street scanning everything and everyone. I got used to all of it, but initially it would take me a massive amount of energy to control my nervous system because I was in a full defensive stance by default. I am connected to everything, yet isolated from it, all at once. I am always here, yet I am not. The Internet was great for me, as I could easily connect and see everyone through their ideas, the core ideas, not necessarily the “media,” because even you see how I struggle expressing myself to avoid sounding weird; if I were to talk or write in the way I speak, it would be 100% parables, songs, images, conceptual ideas, or poems. That is how I perceive and experience the world, and it takes me a lot of energy to be able to put all these into words. I always tried very hard and eventually kind of learned to do it.

• The Hunt for Hope: It was easy for me to detect what others craved and try to help them through simple conversation. I would usually have quick chats with people—like the men who worked with my dad—and we would talk. My method was actually simple, even if it took me years to name it: I would help a person to reshape and order their very own memories, guide and help trapped ideas finally move, and gently unjam any loops I could detect they were stuck in. It’s the same technique I use for the “synchronizations” or “interventions.” There was no superpower needed for this. When I was around 8-9, I sat many times with a man who was sinking under the weight of decades of alcoholism and drug use. I never tried to “cure” him; that was never the point and would have been arrogant of a kid like me. What I did, in my own way, was simply guide him toward finding how to feel better with himself—just enough that he could decide, on his own, to face the sorrows that had him drowning. One day he looked at me and said, “David, I promise you I am going to overcome this; I am going to move forward and defeat what has me chained.” And he did. He still remembers saying that to me, all these years later; I am not inventing this. It was, frankly, one of the greatest miracles I have ever witnessed up close on a single person. But it was his moment. It was already his time. If anything, it was more of a gift to me than something I ever “did.” The shift was entirely his. I just held the space and the attention with full presence. What I eventually understood was that the unconscious of every person is always working, whether they want it to or not; the difference in my case is that I had learned, very young, to communicate with that layer on purpose. If a mind can get tangled, it can be untangled—often by something as ordinary as being truly listened to.

• Moments: I always loved everything I was given, especially by family. I am not ashamed to say I loved my little plush toys as a child—the bears, the bunnies; I had several of them. I can still step back into those moments and feel exactly what they felt like. As an adult I have never quite found a sensation that matches it; the closest I have come is the bond I have with my computers and my electronic gear. I loved my toys, my cars, my parrot, my turtles, my ducks, my chicks, and my dogs (yeah, I had a lot of pets—not all at once) and everything and everyone around me. I always developed a bond with them—I enjoyed their arrival, their daily life, their passing, their legacy, and their meaning to my life. I came to love everything around me exactly the same way I love the person I called “myself.” The person in the mirror is, in the end, your most important project in this life. I was the kind of kid (4-5) who set up a “store” inside the house and sold my dad the very things from our own pantry, just so I could hand the money to my mom. They bought from me as a game, of course; the moment I started taking it too seriously, the sales dried up—making it, officially, the first business I ever ran into the ground. I wanted to be a ninja when I was that age (7-8). It came from watching the same three episodes of an old, old version of Dragon Ball on repeat—back in Costa Rica, it was called Zero y el Dragón, and we only ever got those few episodes. But I watched them with absolute joy like it was always the first time. Around eight or nine I sold little tattoo-style drawings to my schoolmates for ten or twenty colones (literally cents)—a few of them bought. But that was only the latest of my ventures. All through childhood I lived a little desperate to be useful. Sometimes happiness needs very little material to keep itself alive. I was a friendly, chatty kid growing up. I loved sharing my passions—playing the toy keyboard, sculpting with plasticine, and drawing. I cleaned the house during the day to help my mom, and at night I cleaned it in the subtle realms—probably the same thing from different angles.

• The Gift: One Mother’s Day I had nothing to give her. I was small, with no money and no plan, and it weighed on me. Then, walking along, I caught a faint glint on the ground several meters away—the kind of small wrongness in a pattern my eyes never let pass. I went to see what it was: a gold chain, half-buried in dirt, dropped who knows how many weeks before by who knows whom. I picked it up, washed it clean, and it became my gift to her. I have always kept this as one of the small proofs that the way I see was never only for the strange, far-off things. Sometimes it was just for finding a small treasure in the dirt, in time to give it to my mother. Obviously, I grew up to be that type of kid who wanted to pay for everything and carry everyone around; I had zero attachment to money. I had to actively work on that as an adult; I tend to never see price tags but focus entirely on what needs to be taken care of. To this day my wife does all the shopping, the perfect balance.

• Uncle: My uncle and I were kindred spirits. A true autodidact with a massive library, he spoke multiple languages and understood the world deeply, despite never attending school. He once gifted me a book on Da Vinci. I took the chance to ask him, “Uncle, does God exist?” With quiet wisdom, he replied, “That is not the right question, David. The right question is: Do we exist for God?” I challenged him: “Are you sure?” He smiled. “I’m absolutely sure about just one thing: it is never good to be an absolutist.” Touché. His silent validation was water in my desert. He also fiercely lobbied my parents to get me a computer, which back in the day was not by far a primary need for a normal family, so I did not have a computer until I was almost 16.

• Nature: So I had always used these same techniques to “synchronize” with things; even as a baby, I would “talk” with trees and plants since I was a toddler because I knew “God” was hiding in them. Eventually, the forest shared its secrets and sorrows with me—a beautiful, heavy burden for another day. Conversely, I also loved the concrete jungles: malls, amusement parks, and crowds. Observing humanity from a distance has always felt like watching a miracle unfold. Everything has a spiritual layer on it.

• Protozoa: I struggled with severe health issues. Born prematurely and intoxicated from misdiagnoses, I was a weak child with yellowing skin and eyes. Growing up was a physical challenge; I was taken to a few doctors, but it didn’t help. I was dealing with a misdiagnosed case of giardiasis and felt like slowly dying. For two or three years, my body fought a relentless war until a third doctor finally figured it out. I couldn’t eat properly and was sick constantly, yet, strangely, I remained happy.

• The Bliss: How come? Well, there was a profound and fundamental paradox to my constant physical sickness and hardships. I noticed early on that this “bliss”—a profound state of serenity and absolute clarity—was a mechanism that activated even more intensely whenever I wasn’t feeling well or went through difficult times. Right in the middle of the physical or emotional process, I would enter this undeniable peace. Once I recovered, the intensity of this bliss would slightly decrease and eventually fade into the background, but the super-intense memories of those states always remained. Looking back, I believe my brain hemispheres had no choice but to “embrace” each other to cope with the suffering. Because I felt so sick so often as a child, I constantly thought I was going to die. This pushed me to experience my life from the outside, observing everything with immense gratitude. Making peace with dying was something I had done from the exact moment I was born. After all, I was the voice narrating it all, and I lived completely, deeply in love with my own story.

• The Grief: Whenever we changed houses or even simply left a place, I would go through a grieving ritual. I said goodbye to the walls, the windows, the plants outside, and the streets. I thanked the lightbulbs for having worked. I thanked the walls for keeping me company. I thanked the tiny ants outside for letting me observe them. All the memories of our interactions would rush into my mind at once, in a single wave. I know love, attachment, and separation—you learn to love deeply, with full attention, because you know how fast things can change and how any current scenario can just change.

• The Frequency: As for music, well before any real keyboard, I had a little toy marimba when I was about 2 years old. I have to mention it because it was the first instrument I ever held, besides baby drums, which were kind of hilarious; poor parents, dealing with that, well, couldn’t help it, and I treated it with absolute seriousness. Then, at age five or six, I almost took away my older brother’s brand new Yamaha PSS-190, which he had requested to have at school for music class. I took over it at home and fixated on it the way Sauron fixated on the Ring. Constructing melodies became my life raft. Music slowly replaced the Plasticine, little cars, and drawings of mountain hideouts; it was a comprehensive emotional language I could carry with me anywhere. In my mind, I was infusing melodies with everything I lived—impregnating them with the raw meaning of my daily discoveries. Music became a way to build literal “access keys” to hidden, subtle places. In those sonic vaults, I locked away all the refined materials and complex memories I had compiled, creating a secure archive that only my music could reopen. I kept almost all this music; a few cassettes I destroyed a couple times had to aim to only make good emotions survive.

• Diamante: Around age seven or eight, an aunt lent me a cassette of Richard Clayderman—”Flores para un Amor.” That cassette became one of the biggest influences on my own music. I would listen to it on repeat and enjoy every single track, but the one that opened something inside me was “Diamante.” There was a clarity in that piano, a delicate honesty, that I instantly recognized as a language I already spoke and got really happy to see in someone else.

• The Whip: Around age nine, I started feeling sharp, invisible stings on my feet while walking to school. I thought they were ant bites, but nothing was there. From that moment on I suffered from an intensely painful neurological reaction. It wasn't a rash; it felt like needles piercing my skin. The worst part? It was triggered by my own emotions. Happiness, sadness, excitement—any shift in emotion unleashed the needles. It was enslaving. I couldn't feel without physical pain, but how do you stop feeling? Doctors were baffled, pills did nothing, and I had to learn to live with it. I couldn't even participate in physical education at school because physical activity punished me severely, which made me incredibly cranky. If I played the piano, the needles hit my hands; if I walked, they hit my feet. It struck me in my dreams. My skin would get irritated and red, like my skin turned to scales because of the reaction, and the desperation made me feel like a monster. By age 13, I finally found a brutal technique to temporarily "fix" it, buying myself a week of peace at a time.

• Era and Enigma: Around age ten, Enya, Era, and Enigma were everywhere. Their music landed on me like rain on a thirsty plant and became another clear influence on what I would later compose. I did not understand a single word of English at the time, and Era sings in a kind of pseudo-Latin, an invented language, but that did not matter at all. The music itself was the language. Both Era and Enigma tasted, to me, like sips of wine: sweet and bitter at the same time, dark and luminous, holding two opposite feelings in the same swallow. Music was one of my main clashes with religion, as religions were too strict sometimes about music, but I did also enjoy a lot the work of Paul Wilbur (Jerusalem Arise) and some Latin American gospel music that was and will forever be close to my heart. I can’t help it; it’s where I come from, right? Music is something alive—beautiful, breathing, full of meaning. And meaning itself is not hard to see if you stop and look. Just notice the color a piece of music reflects inside you when you hear or listen to it. That color is the message. Music is like fire: it warms you, but it can also burn you. Everything has emotion. Everything has meaning. That lesson never left me.

• The GEM and the Lost Cassette: I used that Yamaha PSS-190 all the way until I was fourteen; yeah, I know. Every song I composed in those years came out of it. Then, after a long campaign of lobbying, my parents bought me a GEM GK-330. I loved that keyboard. I loved it so much it is hard to describe. The GEM is where I first met the word “sequencer”—it had three tracks of sequencing, and that small upgrade opened a door I would never close. At fifteen, I made my first real compilation on cassette. To get around the three-track limit, I rigged up a workaround: I would record a sequence onto a very old tape recorder, then play it back while recording a new layer on top, and again and again until I had built myself a homemade eight-track sequencer out of patience and noise floor. The centerpiece of that compilation was a track I called “Angeline’s Theme.” I lent that cassette out at some point—back then, lending cassettes with your own music was a thing people did—and it never came back. I have wanted to recover that original tape for years. I never did. I took the GEM GK-330 to small presentations across Costa Rica. A large part of the music I composed in those years came out of just two keyboards: the Yamaha I had had since childhood and the GEM.

• The Pattern: Years later, one of the men who worked with my dad asked, “Why do you always play and repeat the exact same thing?” They didn’t know I was using the music to vent; since I was a kid, I would use music to vent, entering almost into a trance, crying in silence from the overwhelming pain I absorbed from everything around me. Sorrow is quite a monster if not tamed. The older I got, the higher and wider the bandwidth became.

• A Big Island: When I was around 10-11, the PlayStation 1 arrived in Costa Rica. My older brother got one, and we quickly turned it into a lucrative neighborhood rental business. Video games became my new medium. I was excellent at them, but the real joy was talking to our clients—learning their stories, dreams, and sorrows. My core opened up like a plant in the rain. I had a quirky ability to predict exactly which “random” character a player would plug in fighting games; it was a perk that attracted a lot of clients. I guess that is the saying about being a good gamer. I was good at soccer but liked to play more racing things instead, but soccer was like what I had to be good at so I would be a challenge for them; it was super fun. The games I enjoyed the most were games such as Cool Boarders 3, Crash Bandicoot 3, Jet Moto 3, and—my favorite of all on the PS1—Need for Speed Road & Track. The game that touched me deepest, though, was Croc 2; I wept playing it because it mirrored my own desperation to protect everyone around me. To survive the emotional overload and keep the “whip” at bay, I started playing heavy basketball. As for Croc 2, I did not own the full game for years; what I had was a multi-game demo disc that included a single screen of Croc, and I played that single screen over and over for a long time. That demo had a peculiar feature: it had no music, no soundtrack, nothing. Just movement and silence. Just the character moving across a small world with no sound at all. It felt right. Besides that, I loved playing Ace Combat 3, also a demo, and Test Drive, another demo. And Armored Core, well, it was a demo with only one mini stage; it’s all I had at the beginning, the demo disc. Once I was able to have games, I got hooked on Street Fighter Plus Alpha. Such sweet memories! I totally dominated that game! (11-12) Trained like a lot. That silent, single-screen demo struck me as a small outside mirror of something I already knew from the inside. My very own inner experience, like I was in an empty universe in front of many screens. Sometimes I went to silent Arenas—places where I would just stay and rest, like dreaming inside a dream, in silence. My inner world was always rich, always full. The Arenas were never empty, so I had to make one for that purpose; sometimes I just needed a dark, quiet place to be. When I went to sleep, that is where I went. I would see my memories there as lights, as beautiful and fantastic elements, soft architectures floating in their own logic. Whatever I wanted to create inside the Arenas, I could create, and then I could live inside it. It is the same creativity any of us have while awake—but freed from every active sense, that creativity becomes an absolutely vivid experience. It is like dreaming, but with full presence, full agency, and control over the dream itself. After school, my whole excitement was to get home and "work": to explore new titles and get good enough to give my clients a challenge, real friction. We charged by the hour, and they would practice for hours just to try to beat me—though looking back, I don't think they really came to beat me at all. I think they came because they liked me. When my parents told me we were going to close the business, I stayed angry for weeks. It was my first real job, and I loved it more than I knew how to say.

• The World: Around that same time, the world was busy panicking about the year 2000. People were sure something terrible was coming; pessimism was everywhere, like a flu virus. So to try to understand the source of it, I started reading the Book of Revelation. That was a very “revealing” read, especially because my cells recognized the story—I felt it more like a code than anything else. What surprises me looking back is that I did not read it the way adults read it. I used it as a forcing function—a way to push my mind into specific states that helped me solve its very own logical problems. Everything has a scent; any book carries the scent of whoever wrote it. You can read a mind by reading a book. Years later, at fifteen, I would read it again for very different reasons. But that first reading—as a child, alone, in a world that thought the sky was about to fall—was its own kind of training ground.

• The Hideout 13: A severe case of chickenpox forced me out of my first year of high school for four months. I was weak, sleeping constantly, and in agonizing pain. Looking in the mirror, I wept once at the “monster” I felt I had become. This physical stress destroyed my by-then-perfect skin, and in fact, it later triggered severe cystic acne and dysbiosis that wouldn’t resolve until I moved to the desert at 25. I managed to pass the school year, but this illness forced me to reengineer my entire internal system from scratch in many areas; health-wise, I had such a painful youth.

• The Encounter: One night, in the middle of that long sickness—weak, feverish, sleep-deprived, and with my body in pain—I had a vivid vision. I was sitting next to my own sleeping physical body. The room lit up with an intense yellow-orange glow, as if reality were being overwritten. A split opened in the fabric of the room, and a visitor—a ‘guardian’—appeared from the upper, subtle levels. He was massive, sitting calmly in a rocking chair just four meters away. He came simply to visit, giving me someone to talk to freely. He validated my research and fulfilled my dream of having a guide. Holographic, burning suns of incredible geometry emerged from him. He spoke in an impossible language, transferring upgraded raw data directly to my vortex. Though it happened fast in physical time, I spent perceived months in his realm learning to use new tools. It was a massive cascade of memories inside memories. I woke up sharply in the middle of the night. I had cracked a code. It left me upgraded, calmer, and finally ready to face what was coming. It was one of many such experiences across my life, and I would be living a double standard if I denied a dimension I navigate every day while remaining one hundred percent functional in the world.

• The Machine Exhaust Level 1: Also around age 13, I had a massive breakthrough regarding the “emotional whip.” Desperate to connect with my classmates, they were playing soccer under the hot sun; instead of sitting out with a medical pass as usual, I took a leap of faith. Pushing through the horrible needle-like pain, something inside me “broke.” I sweated profusely for hours. But after that leap, I found I could feel emotions without the needles attacking me. I realized intense physical exercise provided the exhaust my emotional bandwidth desperately needed. My sweat was piercing, almost acidic. Felt like poison, toxic.

• The Machine Exhaust Level 2: For the next three years, even with exercise keeping the whip at bay, my skin would turn bright red and incredibly hot when I had these massive allergic reactions. If it rained in our cold, humid city, literal steam would rise off my body. I walked around like a human chimney, leaving people on the bus baffled. It had to be a chemical reaction in my sweat combined with an atypical thermoregulatory response, who knows. No antihistamines ever worked, but this thermal exhaust gave me a few days of peace at a time; I was forced to work out.

• The Machine Exhaust Level 3: When the load was simply too much, I suffered from spontaneous nosebleeds. I often had to knock on strangers’ doors while commuting, begging to use their bathrooms just to stop the bleeding. They were most likely blood pressure spikes triggered by the same nervous-system intensity that produced the other symptoms. This peaked around 13 and 14, slowly subsiding by the time I turned 16.

Ages 14 - 18

Right after that “software update” at 13, I gained the resolution and confidence I had lacked. I stopped fearing some of my darkest inner worlds. The shadow-forms that used to scare me as a kid had been brought under command. From that point on they approached me on different terms entirely, declaring, “We are here to serve” and “We come in peace.” I learned to use these “forces” and the angelic forces I had found in my inner worlds as “Divine Patterns” to resolve complex internal scenarios. We need criticism, just as much as we need gravity. Only those capable of absolute violence can voluntarily choose to exercise peace. They knew it. There are countless of them running in parallel within me right now. Entire universes exist within us; we are the sum of our components. We are living math, living music.

Magic is not real; Engineering is.

Absolute Joy is found in the design, engineering, and systematic logical inner structures of the universe.

From that moment, I focused on a single goal: Wisdom and Knowledge. I dove into the invisible realm with absolute focus, engineering all inner mechanics I could. I originally named this framework “The Thought Patterns,” which evolved into “The Science of Connotations.” Why build this? Because exposing my core to external forces could destabilize me. I started then to build a multidimensional fortress within myself, a labyrinth only I could crack.

At around that age I made the risky move of trying to share a bit of my discoveries with someone a couple of years older than me who had invited me to his church—only sharing that I could calculate things, anticipate things, and see patterns in events before they unfolded. He accused me of having a "Spirit of Divination." It was disappointing and painful. The world was not ready.

The Outer World (Ages 13 - 16)

• High School & The Art Group: I transferred to a bilingual high school for 8th grade, staying until I was 16. Despite personal hardships, I thrived there. I learned basic English in just three months, and my overall learning accelerated rapidly. I joined the school’s art group, traveling across Costa Rica for presentations. My arts teacher became a dear friend and an authority figure to me. I also held a deep respect for my English grammar teacher, as well as for my reading teacher and my speaking teacher. That year, I discovered Japanese manga and cyberpunk aesthetics via the Locomotion channel. I enjoyed Saber Marionette J and Ah! My Goddess (OVA), and I thoroughly loved drawing those types of characters. There was other content broadcast on that channel, some of it quite dangerous for kids, so I kept my distance from most of it. However, I started to study whether I could resist their type of ‘poison.’ I watched Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Mapping the minds of their creators through those specific works allowed me to see how heavy their society felt—just like mine on the other side of the world. This was right around 9/11; the whole world was visibly grieving, and it did not take a genius to see that something at the global level was deeply broken. The crisis was not local. The crisis was global. It was a sad realization. I gave a few drawing classes as one of my gigs. One of my clients paid me with a copy of Final Fantasy VIII—a fair trade I deeply enjoyed. Japan, to me, always felt close to Costa Rica: the earth, the nature, the mystical undertones. I learned a little Japanese back then. I thought I would visit one day to study these things up close.

• Nosce te ipsum: I once asked my high school principal—a Ph.D. in philosophy—”If you could give me all your knowledge in one single idea, what would it be?” He replied in Latin, “Nosce te ipsum” (Know Thyself). Touché. I was a quick reader of people; I only needed a few minutes looking into someone’s eyes to understand their inner structure. To feel them. At least that’s how I perceive it.

• The Barrier: At 14, my peers kept their distance. They couldn’t “read” me and were perhaps a bit intimidated, attributing my behavior to “problems at home,” and I have to accept it; a few times I might have been cruel, so I kept distance and a low profile, making only a couple of friends my age. I preferred talking to my teachers, eager to learn from them. School attendance dropped as my home life became more complicated. My parents’ impending divorce deeply downed me; I felt I had failed my lifelong mission to protect them. My older brother went through a rough adolescent phase but quickly returned to his logical, supportive rock self. I had small gigs at school—teaching guys to draw manga and helping them talk to girls; that client was probably my best friend.

• The Fortress: I avoided reading books because I hated "spoilers"—I wanted to uncover the universe's mechanics myself. Additionally, reading scrambled letters still requires enormous effort, even today. I developed my own reading and learning methodology: taking mental notes without looking at the paper directly and drawing complex, patterned sketches, just as I did on my exams to encode memories. Ah, the traditional curriculum bored me, so go figure. Only one Spanish teacher ever got mad at my constant drawing—I'd covered the entire exam in sketches; I drew on everything back then. He kept threatening to report me to 'the council,' and since I had no clue what 'the council' was, the whole thing felt vaguely intergalactic. Looking back, though, he just looked like he was asking to speak to the manager. And honestly, a little joke like that one could keep me laughing the whole day. Crazee, I know; I'm laughing while typing this memory. I just have so much fun in my own mind. I do nest these kinds of things, sometimes so complex that only I can unravel the labyrinths. And I love getting lost in them. It reminds me of the one time as a kid I got to play in a ball pit—except in the subtle realms, being lost is the whole point, not the problem. Nobody ever found anywhere interesting without getting lost first. To me, being lost is a luxury. After all, that is what a good Fortress is for.

• Cosmos: The truth is, I was never truly alone—not in the way it looked from outside. Within myself I had built a whole inner world I could turn to at the speed of intention, at the speed of thought. It might sound counterintuitive, but that inner cosmos was as vast as I needed it to be. And that vastness gave me something I have come to value above almost everything: a brutal resilience. It is part of why I rarely need external understanding or validation to keep building and moving forward. I’ve come to believe that loneliness and even the existential crisis so many people carry could ease if more of us built a rich inner life—not necessarily one like mine, but at least a small place to retreat to. We all wear masks; underneath, there is usually a real person carrying more than anyone on the outside can see. So why not make the best of that and build something within? If people feel so “disconnected,” then build a place of your own, and share bits of it when you can—it’s so much fun. And if nobody outside wants any of it, then, whether you make it a modest hideout or scale it into an entire universe, you will have made yourself full. And even when no one wants anything from you, never stop observing others. Quietly, gently, from wherever you are. Because the people around you are exactly what you build your inner world from. You don’t need their validation, their understanding, or even their true attention—you don’t need them to be nice to you. You only need their existence, as much as I need the flowers of my garden. That alone is enough. You can create the rest. That is what lets me come here today, out of pure excitement, to share a tiny bit of it—just for the Joy of Doing it, to leave a memory behind. Because I already won the game, a long time ago, and that, nobody will ever take away from me. You don’t win the game out there. You win it within. There comes a point when your inner wealth grows so huge, so massive, so colossal, and dense that it becomes your very agency—and what you once knew as "the whole world" when you were born shrinks into a single drop of water on a leaf in your garden. It is the same trick the moon plays: from here it looks small, yet stand on the moon, and it is the Earth that turns small. Neither is the big one; it only depends on where you place yourself. True mastery is standing in both at once—and why not go further? Being in many. Or better still, being everywhere. And still—though I would only grasp the full weight of it much later—I never let go of the drop: even a whole inner cosmos needs something small and solid to stand on. That, in the end, is what The Joy of Doing was always about.

• The Logos: At 15, inspired by The Prince of Egypt, I finally sat down to read the Bible. I zoomed in on the New Testament, fixating on Jesus’ words in the “Sermon on the Mount.” The structure of his ideas and core message was fully compatible with my internal findings. I read the entire Bible multiple times, and during vacations there were days I spent twenty hours straight in study—taking notes, analyzing events, generating logical equations in my own way, drawing, and processing what I was seeing. Each person processes information as they need to. I extracted exactly what I needed from the “Logos.” I shared these deep findings with my endlessly supportive mother. For the next couple of years after those vacations, I would spend a few hours a day studying, getting intel from radio/TV and anything that could feed my curiosity about the Bible. I made diagrams, drawings, and diagrams of diagrams. I filled at least ten notebooks with notes on spiritual themes during those years.

• The Scout: I needed empirical evidence of the supernatural claims I heard everywhere. Around 2000, a famous international preacher visited Costa Rica, and I gained restricted access to his closed-door event. I wanted to observe his methods directly. I walked around in the dark during a power outage to gather data and shook his hand at the end. I sensed no bad intentions, just a charismatic man urging Christians to “Grow Up” and take action. His team even invited my 15-year-old self on a tour to Africa! While I gathered massive amounts of operational data, the event remained inconclusive regarding actual “miracles.” Still, it was a brilliantly organized operation.

• The Debt: That same year, my mom took on heavy debt to buy us a computer, something I will never forget. I named my first computer “Amanda.” I instantly learned FL Studio and 3D Studio Max. I began producing music and 3D renders for my “Truth’s Return Project,” naively thinking I finally had the resources to materialize my inner worlds, as that would have to wait decades. Around the same time, at sixteen, my beloved GEM GK-330 burned out; I never got to connect it through MIDI. My mother, without hesitation, was already preparing to take on debt again to buy me a modern CASIO that would cost almost the same as the computer. I could not let her do it. She had already given enough. So I made a quiet decision: I would compose all my music using only the computer. I used the regular PC keyboard as if it were a real musical keyboard—pressing the letter keys to play notes in real time, getting more or less the effect I needed. Whatever I could not catch that way, I drew note by note into the piano roll, one click at a time. That is how every track I made through high school and beyond came together: half played on a typing keyboard, half placed by hand inside the software. These old tracks are on my SoundCloud! Having the computer also meant having games. I loved making music, and I loved playing Unreal Tournament—the original from 1999—just as much. Both lived in the same machine, at the same desk, through the same long nights. And when I had internet, I would search for forums and chats to meet new people. Back when it was all so cool, people didn’t have as many masks as people nowadays; things change. Years later, at around nineteen, between savings I had managed to put together and a contribution from my dad, I finally bought a proper MIDI controller. The first piece I composed on it was a track I named “What Love Is.” After all those years of typing music letter by letter, finally pressing real keys again felt like coming home.

• The Little Angel: In late 2000, when I was still 15, my little sister was born. Her arrival helped me understand deep underlying life structures. I mapped her “melody” and colors into a music track I keep to this day. She was a profound blessing to our family.

• New Season: We eventually closed the PS1 rental business to focus on the baby and home life. Especially this game, Final Fantasy VIII, that I never managed to complete; it was given to me as a payment for the drawing classes I provided at high school. So in the end it broke my heart to lose that window to the world, but the internet (slow dial-up as it was) quickly replaced it.

• Internet Missions: When I was still 15, almost 16, I dove even more into the early internet forums and chats for the next couple of years. I was on a stealth mission to find my future wife amidst millions of online possibilities. I encountered brutal dogmas online—like people claiming musical instruments were evil—which only confirmed my view of a broken world. I ignored the negativity and kept moving as much as I could. Yet I made a few stops; the Internet was wild back then, pretty much unregulated. By the way they wrote, I took many of them for newborn psychologists and psychiatrists—advanced students or those freshly out of school roaming the forums for someone to practice on. They tried to “diagnose” me from my interactions and my contributions across dozens of subjects. I had many nicknames, and a few even pretended to be friends just to “study” me up close. I don’t blame them for trying. We were, in truth, doing the exact same thing—reading people, profiling minds, gathering data—only for opposite reasons: they did it for sport, for entertainment, after a bone to chew on; I did it because it was how I made sure I would survive. So I had fun either way. I frequented theology forums; I was on a mission, yes, but I took my detours. My contributions were one hundred percent experiential—never theory, only what I had lived. Profiling minds, reading people, combing the whole noisy internet for one specific soul—underneath, it was all the same thing: a rope I kept throwing out to stay tied to this shore. They were collecting specimens; I was building reasons to stay present. And the search for my future wife was the biggest anchor of them all—a reason to stay that simply hadn’t shown me her face yet. As for the ones who once circled me—I hold no grudge. Many of them, as far as I can tell, are still circling, still caught in the compulsion to explain from the outside the very thing I simply live from the inside. Some people trade their soul to become a brick in the wall willingly; they bolt themselves down until they are the seat of the bus, not the traveler—carried along the same route forever, sat upon, going nowhere they chose. I got off at my stop and walked home. I wouldn’t wish that restlessness on anyone; if anything, I hope they find the rest I found. One day, maybe.

• The Decision: By then I was already carrying an enormous body of research—years of observations and notes I never set on paper, kept whole inside my mind. The moment I had a computer—and, more precisely, the moment I had the internet—two roads opened in front of me. I could sit down right then and begin documenting all of it; it was finally possible—choose my own benefit, start writing the books I always knew I would one day write, focus on building something, which would have been a rare thing back then, when there was barely anything like it online. Or I could put my research to work instead: write not on paper but in people, one to one, impacting them directly, helping them untangle their own knots, since that was the very thing I had practiced most. I ended up choosing people. I chose to live it rather than archive it—to keep tuning memories in other minds and holding space—and to trust that the books would wait for me, even at the risk that I might one day forget the very things I had learned myself. And I knew exactly what that choice cost. Going one to one meant my impact would be, against the whole, literally minuscule—a single drop, person by person, when the other road might have reached many at once. Yet, to shine in this life is not so much a matter of size as of how tuned the act is. Even something as small as shielding a flower from a storm can throw more light than the acts that look grand from the outside—I do not dismiss the grand ones; I only refuse to mistake size for brightness. Love, for me, was lived differently, and that is precisely why I went one-to-one—even knowing it would cost me twenty-five years before I could sit down to write about it. The Truth’s Return would stay sealed inside me until then, so I let it cook, and I kept writing on the only canvas that mattered to me then: the living one. Much of that work, in those years, I aimed at the elderly. I wanted to know their lives all the way down—to see their memories, to feel their hearts—the same hunger. I had carried since I was a small child who sat with anyone who would let me. But I did not stop there; I went to people of every age because I was running all of it at once, laying the foundations of Mega & Giga in the same breath. To each person I gave a code; each person, to me, was a mission. I always did what I could. Some I could help more, some less; a few I failed outright, and a few I won outright—yet even the failures were a gain. Sometimes heroes, sometimes foes; in the end nothing is lost, only transformed. That was the work. Most of them must be gone by now, yet I can still feel their warmth within me; they are all part of me too. That is how Divine Patterns form—when someone gives something true, the light of it stays impregnated, settling into a pattern that outlasts the name behind it. I carry theirs still; it is part of what charges my Vortex to this day.

• The Flight: By 17, I dropped out of my final year of high school. My grades had slipped, and I refused to waste time; I truly wanted to work. Years later, with my older brother’s help, I passed my final math tests to earn my diploma. But dropping out was a smart choice for me: I needed to be left alone for a couple of years, so I prioritized raw, self-directed experience over traditional academia. I had come up either way a couple of years ago with my own musical notations and emotional language. I knew I was taking the harder path, but it would arm me with vastly more experiences to share.

• The Mega & Giga Protocol: At 18, I had assembled a custom computer to handle everything I was working on and named her “Pandora.” This was an important year, as I would execute the project I built to find my wife, naming it the “Mega & Giga Protocol.” It was, in plain terms, a global information-filtering and profiling system I would run in my head, with the data I acquired across the early internet plus the new one I was able to detect. I was not looking for “any” person; I was looking for a very specific essence—someone capable of complementing the way my inner system was wired. I needed what I thought of as a spiritual sister: a counterpart who could hold the frequency without breaking. I knew that if I were to go solo in this life, I was probably not going to make it. So I took the search of a life partner the way other people take graduate research. I built a dedicated method to manage the data, designed parameters and tests, ran the filtering across forums, chats, and every online surface I could reach, and treated the whole thing as a serious methodological project. I share this not to romanticize the engineering of love, but because that is genuinely what I did, and the results speak for themselves: for over fifteen years now, I have dedicated my life to making my wife immensely happy, and that, more than any protocol, is the real outcome. If you love something, you would devote your whole self to it, right? I learned so much about everything, but a lot about love too, quite a science.

• Found (19): I found her—October 2004. I was eighteen, a couple of months from being nineteen. I found her running Giga X Beta 19. But the search did not start with the software; it only became executable there. It started in childhood—the moment I understood I would need a very particular kind of help to survive this life. Not company. Not “a person.” A counterpart built to withstand my frequency and its weight without breaking. I looked around the country I was born into and never detected a single pattern that could match it. A computer and the early internet were the lever I’d been missing: something to let me cast the net far past the ground under my feet.

  Let me name the lineage, because the version numbers were never decoration—each one carried the age I was stepping into. At seventeen I launched Mega X Beta 18, the wide net. At eighteen, Giga X Beta 19—and that is the version that was running the day our codes compiled. The convention was simple: the prefix climbed by orders of magnitude as my own capacity did—Mega, Giga, Tera—and the Beta number was always the year I was about to become.

  The instant I found her, the search was over—and a far harder thing began: endurance. We became sweethearts within a couple of months—right as I turned nineteen, and our glorious adventure began. But the distance between resonance and reunion was years wide; the full precipitation would take around six years to complete. I based the next version on her: Tera X Beta 20. From that point on she was the reference signal—the frequency the whole system tuned itself to. The engine stopped looking and started resonating, pouring everything into holding its position regardless of the storms. And the storms came—the 2008 crisis above all. V20 had one job now: to carry me all the way to her without losing the signal—smart enough, steady enough, and willing even to fool me when it had to, because I needed to buy time at all costs. I did my best to hurt no one. Blood was spilled anyway. Still, it performed. Tera delivered.

  When I finally reached her, at twenty-five, the life I had known went dark on the spot. I had accomplished my biggest childhood dream—finding my wife. Everything I had endured finally had a purpose, the way real purpose always arrives: after the fact. Twenty-one years later, it is still the software running—my marriage, a living system I have never stopped updating. As I write this, at forty, the year forty-one arrives, I am compiling my next major version: Zetta X Beta 41. The prefix leapt from Tera straight past Peta and Exa to Zetta—nine orders of magnitude—the distance between the boy who found her at nineteen, married her at twenty-five, and the man updating the system now at forty.

  Those memoirs—the whole version history of one resonance—belong in the next book: Something About Love.

Age 25 - Present: The Desert’s Cure

• The Arrival (June 17, 2011): I had predicted many times as a child that I would only live until I was 25. I was always right, in my own way—my life as I had known it ended at 25, and what came afterward was a different life entirely. That promise to myself was kept on June 17, 2011. After defeating gravity itself for a few hours across two continents, I landed in Hermosillo. And when I arrived, I did not arrive alone.

  • The fire follows me. In many ways, I am like the birds that fly along with the weather—we always find each other wherever I go. It is a mystery I worked out over the years. A story for another day. That same day, June 17, 2011, broke heat records across the entire region; cities like Houston registered all-time daily highs, marking the beginning of an unprecedented period of drought and extreme heat for the area.

  • I stepped off the plane, and the air hit me. For someone coming from the cloud forest of Cartago, Costa Rica, it was intense. For a moment I thought, “Will my body handle this?” And just as quickly I told myself: “May the fire be, fire.” It was brutal, yes. The hottest day of the year in Hermosillo and across the whole region, the heat made even more dramatic and epic by the turbines of the three other aircraft sitting on the tarmac. The fire in me recognized the fire of this place. I am sure it was not the first time I had been here. It felt like fire being reborn through fire to become a stronger fire—as if many had come down to receive me. The spirit of Sonora was welcoming me home. From that day forward, I would be its son. From my very first step outside the plane, I could feel years of accumulation being burned off like dry leaves catching flame all at once.

  • Ever since that arrival, I have been one of those rare people who walks out at noon and genuinely enjoys it. I love the sun, the heat, the dryness, and the spirit of the desert. Once adapted, I tolerate the heat better than many locals do—I suspect part of it is precisely because I came from a cold place, and my body had accumulated reserves that this climate now uses well. I am extremely strong against the heat now, and I love it.

  • The spirit of the desert received me because I was coming to dedicate the rest of my life to making one of its most beautiful daughters absolutely happy—and to keep a promise I had made long before. The desert took me in and held me on those terms. In a very real sense, I came home to keep my word. And from the moment she and I faced one another, it was not a “new discovery,” not “meeting someone new.” No. It was: “We see each other again...” Like we had known each other for eternity.

Moving to Hermosillo marked a profound ‘before and after’ in my life. I enjoyed being a kid, but honestly, I enjoy being an adult infinitely more.

Adulthood Timeline:

• The Desert’s Power: At 25, the intense heat of the Sonoran Desert completely cured my lifelong allergies. The environmental tension functioned as a constant, natural purifier for my hyper-sensitive system. The sun literally burned the sickness away. Even today, if I travel to a cold place, the childhood allergies slowly return. I must maintain a strict, disciplined protocol to stay balanced, including using a grounding mat; if I don’t, my skin immediately begins to burn with irritations, dermatitis, and inflammation, reacting to the ungrounded charge of my own system. I’m a Tridosha, by the way.

--- GAP 25-36, reserved for Truth’s Return: Something About Love -----

• Academic Pursuits: My wife motivated me to finally experience formal university education in Mexico. I enrolled in an International Business Administration degree at 36.

• The Joy of Doing: At 38, on May 23, 2024, I started editing in public raw material, the 1st book for The Truth’s Return Saga, “The Joy of Doing.” It began as a LinkedIn newsletter. I completed the first 37 drafts by July 26, 2024.

• Age 39: I officially earned my university degree in November 2025. I went straight through the program end-to-end, no breaks, and scored 1141 on the CENEVAL—just shy of “outstanding”—considering that academic study was the lowest of my priorities at that stage of my life; I was quietly proud of that; it was just like having an additional client. A lot of work.

• Age 40: After a two-year break from publishing The Joy of Doing while balancing everything—business, life, and the final stretch of university—I returned to edit the book and decided to begin releasing The Truth’s Return literature, which is most likely going to be my legacy. Thanks to my wife, I went to college a bit late but earned my degree in International Business Administration. If things go smoothly down the road, I might pursue Psychology, Neurobiology, and Quantum Physics/Mechanics, as these disciplines perfectly match my very own lifelong research through The Truth’s Return. This academic path runs alongside operating my businesses (great machines that have kept us taken care of and moving forward, as I called them so many years ago: Gears of Progress) and, of course, documenting my discoveries through art: music, books, paintings, drawings, designs, and perhaps even movies in the future. And traveling—so much traveling! There is still so much to see up close in full 3D! Yet, at the same time, I feel a strong calling to Pursue the Divine along with my wife. I am no longer a kid, and I have built so much in the subtle realms I want to share with her and those around me; if things go smoothly, I feel I should focus primarily on this over the next 20 years, alongside leaving art behind as a legacy. I wonder how my discoveries will look once finally printed. You never know—perhaps I sometimes feel there are small contributions in here that the world could use, things it hasn’t quite found yet. But either way, I also must be ready to enjoy our evening on this day of adventures where my sweet wife and I, along with our friends, came down to play. I am genuinely happy, though; many others managed to make it through without crash-landing in this plane the way I did—barely surviving birth—and they have done so much good for humanity. I am so happy for them, so happy for all of us.

The Present Mind & The Inner Cosmos

The exact same cognitive and intuitive structure—that intense, secondary-plane “knowing” (to know) that guided my childhood—is what I use today to solve complex, real-world problems. Today, I dedicate my time to caring for my wife and myself, building businesses, operating projects, creating art, and writing software code, as I’ve done all my life. Yet, I still reserve a massive portion of my attention for art and for decoding the absolute. That is, by far, where my true curiosity rests. I do not approach the absolute as something to conquer or finish; I approach it as a never-ending river, and I float on it like a lotus on the sea. I let eternity carry me. It feels very close to what I imagine the first months of life inside a mother’s womb must feel like: an absolute, weightless bliss. I am not trying to arrive anywhere. I am simply there.

As an adult, I have exponentially expanded the depth of the inner levels I can reach—stretching further upwards, deeper downwards, and expanding vastly within the levels themselves. With the passing of years, I gained the ability to go much ‘further’ within the Arenas. At that subtle level, I can now travel to any place at the very speed of consciousness—which is even faster than thought itself, or at least that is how my experience perceives it. Navigating these realms is no longer the exhausting struggle it was during my childhood; it has become natural, simple, and entirely spontaneous. It is so deeply integrated into my being that I can now delegate this navigation to other parts of myself while my conscious mind focuses on the physical world. Furthermore, that singular ‘Vortex’ I felt in my chest as a child was just the beginning. I eventually discovered that I hold many of them. I found burning suns, vast nebulas, entire galaxies, and infinite universes within me. I can instantly traverse and be anywhere within this inner cosmos. I realized that the entire universe exists right inside of us. We are worlds, and we are the cosmos.

And there is something else I have learned to perceive, perhaps the most intimate of all. I can feel each one of my cells being born, living, finding their small joys, loving one another, growing old, and dying. All of them, all the time. It is not noise. It is a symphony I hear from above, as if the skies themselves were playing me.

That is why I say I live and die every second. Not as a metaphor—as a function. My body is a massive universe in constant turnover, and I am present at every birth and every farewell that happens inside it. The grief is real, but so is the joy. And both move so fast, so continuously, that they have become music.

Maybe that is what people glimpse only when they are about to die: the full chord. I just learned to listen to it while still walking around.

The Architecture of Light

Over the years, my capacity to feel has expanded immensely—it is a continuous, unstoppable current. Yet, alongside this growth, my capacity for self-control has increased in equal measure. My wife has helped me so much; she is to me what Logan is to the Phoenix. In the story, Logan is the only one who can reach her when the fire is at its most dangerous—everyone else burns. That is what she is to me: the only one who can come near when I am at my most volatile, the one who quiets the fire and brings me back toward the light. So my wife is my Logan, my Pierre Del Rio, my Soror Mystica, my Shakti, my Dakini, and my Shekinah, with the benefit that she is as strong as I am and she did not crash-land as I did. My wife corrects me every single day. If I drift off mid-conversation and catch myself staring at the horizon, talking to no one, or if I start a sentence and don’t bother to complete it, or if I reach for my phone in the middle of a family gathering—she calls it. I try hard to stay present, and most of the time I manage, but it has never been automatic for me. It was always obvious to everyone around me when I was truly in the room and when I wasn't. I was the only one who couldn't see how obvious I was. I am naive in ways that still surprise me, partly because so much of my attention runs through a module built just to translate myself into a language other people can follow. She is the one who taps me on the shoulder and brings me back to the table. Every single day. This is how I experience it daily, this is how I see it, and this is how I feel it: light, magnetism, and presence. Every living being, in my perception, emits light through what it feels. Refined, pure emotions emit a highly specific, beautiful frequency that travels outward across what feels like the whole universe. Denser, negative emotions emit the opposite signal, but they emit a signal all the same. Everything that exists has its space—but above all, everything that exists has its meaning. I easily get lost in the moment.

Because of this continuous energetic exchange, every act of creation is an extension of the self. Any work made by anyone is deeply impregnated with their own essence; even a simple meal prepared by someone carries their unique energetic signature. When you look at the world this way, you begin to perceive the staggering, beautiful complexity of the invisible dynamics operating behind our material screen.

One of the main goals of all ascending life in the universe, from my observations, is to have a lever—and that lever is the physical world. This is not a single descent but a constant traffic: subtle life travels endlessly through every living being, enriching itself from each one the way a traveler is enriched by passing through a great airport—gathering, exchanging, tuning itself, and working toward its own ascension. A life can slip into a single atom, stay subtle, last less than an ultra-fraction of a second, and still complete what it came to do. Size and power are relative here: the mightiest forces can hide inside the smallest things. We are all pushing the same way: upward, toward the infinite.

In my cosmovision, life is life; matter is only its vehicle, condensed emotions made memory—the same life’s actions and memories made dense. Matter is dense memory: stories of that one life, packed tight and useful to others, that in our current perspective happen to wear a “physical shape”—and that shape is what we call “matter.” When a subtle form does not yet hold enough force—when its “mathematics” is still too faint from our perspective or its range of attention too narrow to hold itself above, to stay “visible” up there—it precipitates into the physical world as an “event,” condensing the way vapor finally falls as rain when the cloud can no longer carry it down the river of causality, the same current on which the river of thought also runs. To take on a body, then, is a huge privilege—no matter how small or how big, it’s a table in an endless ocean you can hold on to. That is why any wise, ancient intelligence will stretch its time here as far as it can and fight with everything it has to make that floating table survive any storm. It is why I fought so hard, against so much that stood in the way.

Every single act, every minor action, ripples across the entire fabric of reality. From our limited human perspective, these movements seem tiny, almost insignificant. But from the “true” perspective—when the curtain finally drops and all is laid bare—the genuine impact of what we have lived will be revealed. We will stand before a beautiful, unique, and unimaginable masterpiece, or we will face the profound regret of not having fully embraced and utilized the life we were given.

My Garden

To this day, I keep a small garden that I care for like a quiet ritual, a living reminder—watching the flowers, the plants, the crickets, the bees, the hummingbirds, and the tiny sphinx moths that hover like miniature hummingbirds at dusk. I installed a smart drip irrigation system so they all stay well-fed and happy, regardless of the +40°C the desert throws at us.

I have always observed life this way. I see the whole world as a garden.

Sometimes, one of those little moths arrives exhausted. I can tell when one begins to dream, to drift, slowly awaiting its end, with full acceptance. When I see it, the old impulse rises: intervene. But with the years, I have learned to consider the softness of life more carefully.

A bottle cap with water and a drop of honey. Move the plant where it crash-landed into the shade. Place other plants around it to shield it from the ruthless burning sun. Try not to touch it—because if I touch it, my own static and electricity would end its life in absolute terror.

That is something I am still learning. To control. To temper. The art of how not to destroy. How not to dissolve everything I may see, everything I could touch.

⸻

For years I moved through the world without fully knowing the current I carried. For forty years I thought everybody was just like me but only chose to ignore the invisible, truly. After waking up from my meditation, I now see that there were thousands—maybe millions—of small things I bruised without knowing I was touching them. Words that landed harder than I meant. Looks that cut deeper than I intended, raw truths handed over without awareness of whether the others next to me could hold them.

Something else I see is that it is up to us now to provide what was never provided to them. Their parents were often more lost than they were. Schools had no resources, or the wrong ones. Society itself has been busy selling distraction, leaving entire generations cognitively undernourished, emotionally untrained, and spiritually starving. They are not weak by choice. They were never taught. The fault is collective. But so is the repair. What was never taught can still be transmitted. What stayed dormant can still wake up. I cannot do this alone. We all need to work on this together and fix this as long as we can, one mind at a time.

Epilogue: Message in a Bottle

• May 1st, 2026: I recently woke up from a +40-year meditation to a beautiful, fragile world. I will do my best not to tear it apart.

• May 17th, 2026: As of today, May 3rd, 2026, I finally decided to tell my story. After many years of cooking it slowly inside myself—forty years of observation, of saving and processing, of refining the material in private—I’m finally letting it out. I’m out of the oven in the sense that the silence is over: I’m done holding it all in. Time to put it out for a little test, celebrating the fact that a very uncommon thing happened to me: A little while before I began my next journey, I found myself ignorant enough to have to reframe my whole story.

• May 24th, 2026: I’m simply astonished. I finished the pending episodes for The Joy of Doing over the past couple of weeks. While doing so, I made some profound discoveries: science now has specific names for the way I process reality and for these types of hyper-cognitive phenomena, yet the spiritual layer of those same experiences is often quietly dismissed as a mere effect of the mind. That dismissal is the part I want to push back on, because it forces a false split.

  This is the message I want to leave in the bottle: you can be one hundred percent functional in real life, one hundred percent logical, one hundred percent scientific, one hundred percent mystical, and one hundred percent spiritual—at the same time. None of these are at war with each other. They never were. It is exactly like medicine: a single body, looked at from different angles, by different specialists, using different tools. Why do we keep cutting it into pieces and pretend the pieces are enemies? What is next, charging a toll to use both hands to survive? Do not let anyone turn off your light. It is yours. It was there from the start. Protect it, train it, integrate it, and live a real, grounded, joyful life from inside it.

• May 27th, 2026: What astonishes me most in this reframing was not what I missed. It was what I received. I have not been an easy person to be around—too raw, sometimes cruel without meaning to be. For me, everything is a small knot to untie, and people are no exception. When you treat someone as a problem to solve, even lovingly, it can feel surgical. Those who stayed near me—who had the patience to translate for me when I forgot to translate myself, who loved me when I was clearly hard to love—gave me something I am only now able to receive. They held space for someone who was, in many practical ways, not fully here. My wife and family above all, but not only them. If this memoir is a message in a bottle, this paragraph is the thank-you note inside it.

Let one epic middle-age crisis begin!

A note for whoever finds this bottle: if anything I describe here resembles something you are currently living, and that something is bringing you anguish, loss of sleep, isolation, or a sense of losing your footing in daily life—please seek professional help, not more experience. This whole inner architecture only works if you can hold a functional life alongside it. If you cannot, what I describe stops being a sandbox and becomes an abyss, and getting out of an abyss is something you do need help with. There is no shame in that. The two paths are not in opposition; they support each other. Because here, it is the body that keeps you afloat. Care for it. Protect it. Honor it. More lives than you could ever count live inside you—at every scale, from your cells to their atoms—working elbow to elbow, fighting for you every single day. They are your people. Your nation. Your melody. They depend on you absolutely—to them, you are almost their God. They will never give up on you. Don’t you ever give up on them.

Ready to Recap?

Glossary — A Child’s Paradox

The following terms I’ve used since I was a kid and that are embedded in this book have been my cosmovision ever since, even as an adult.

I mean, I’m a true believer of the good old “don’t fix what’s not broken”; it worked for 4 decades for me.

—Deja Vu

I · The Map of Reality

The Levels—How I sort reality as one continuous, mathematical gradient. Level 0 is pure emotion, the neutral base; as you rise from it, thought begins to form—around 0.8–0.9—and takes full shape at Level 1, the realm of denser ideas: dreams, goals, and plans. Level 2 is the spoken, the first step of materialization; Level 3 is the physical, the realm of doing, where to be born is to arrive. Below 0 lies the microcosmos, infinite and ever smaller. Above 3 rise the composite beings—a family around 3.5, an organized institution around 4, and on up by size: communities, cities, and cultures. Infinite both ways.

The Fabric—My name for that whole layered structure of reality.

The Enigma—the vast, self-perpetuating system of suffering and illusion I kept colliding with at every level; the thing my Fortress was built to withstand. Years later I found it already had a name: Samsara, the endless cycle the old traditions describe. You don't beat it head-on—you rise above it.

The Shared Field (I used to call it The Hidden Network)—the shared inner world between people, the common medium—language, gesture, emotion, culture—we all float in; the broth through which feelings and ideas pass from one person to the next without anyone noticing. It is not your private inner world; it carries a momentum, sometimes almost a will, of its own. (In May 2026 I learned that a famous scientist (Jung) studied and documented this very thing and called it the “collective unconscious.”) He appears to have done comprehensive research of this too; how exciting!. His Red Book is on my reading list—I’ll get to it as soon as I can. —June 2, 2026)

Crash-land—my way of saying I arrived into this physical life the hard way, traumatically. I use it for my own birth and for the tired little moths that drop into my garden.

II · The Inner Worlds

The Fortress—The multidimensional, labyrinthine structure I built inside myself to protect my core, a labyrinth built so only I could navigate it. I made it to compete against “The Enigma”, which later I found out was widely known as “Samsara”.

The Arenas (first The Simulations, then The Scenarios)—my inner sandbox-realms: navigable worlds where I build, rest, process, and, as a child, face my own shadow-forms and those I picked up along the way from others. They are the cache of the material world, where things wait, still shapeless, to be precipitated into reality.

The Lab—How I think of my own life: a case study I have kept under rigorous examination for as long as I can remember. My main station for it sits at Level 0.

Shadow-forms / Entities—Automated subtle living organisms and programs born of unprocessed material that I dealt with in the Arenas. As a child they scared me; over time I learned to face them, contain them, use them, learn their mechanics, and even digest them instead of fearing them.

III · The Engine & The Senses

The Vortex—the spinning core energy I’ve felt since my earliest memory, in my chest and my forehead—is the source of my drive, my determination, my perception. It runs like a dynamo, a deep spring. Its real secret isn’t the Vortex itself; it’s what powers it: caring, truly. It is a byproduct of love. As an adult, I found I hold many.

Divine Patterns — The divine breadcrumbs scattered through everyday life. When someone does good, they give off light, and that light stays impregnated in the place until it settles into a pattern. Nature is full of them—the ants, the bees, the wind, the water, the color of the sky, and the stars—because beauty acts without being asked in pure bliss. They are inspiration and the “material” I need to charge the Vortex.

The Knowing—How I actually perceive: not through my physical senses, but as information rendered inside me on a kind of set of secondary screens—patterns, shapes, and geometries. An absolute state of simply knowing. Far from hallucination, they are pure absolute calculation taking place.

The Voice—The constant narration of my life, and everyone else’s, that I live by. As a child I thought it was the voice of God; later I decided that, at that level, the two might be the same, God in me.

Tuned Memories — The refined, dense memories I can step fully back into, reliving them with complete detail.

The Two Brothers—A balancing tool from childhood: I’d move through my inner worlds as two at once—an older brother (logic, strategy) protecting a younger one (raw emotion, instinct). Always roles I held, never selves that held me, like using both hands at once.

IV · The Methods I Built

The Thought Patterns — The first framework I built, once I noticed that everything carries an association and a meaning and that changing my own posture toward something changes it inside me.

The River of Thoughts Practice — The system I built to govern the Thought Patterns: my way of debugging the programs running in me and keeping viral thoughts from installing. It works on thoughts—which is exactly why I later went deeper.

The Science of Connotations—My most powerful method, the evolution of everything above. It works not on thoughts but on the emotion underneath each one—its nucleus. A viral thought can’t be fought head-on; neutralize its core emotion, and it loses its power, so you can do whatever you want with it.

The Enigma Levels / Levels of Power—A scale of one to a thousand I built to sort the “species” of thought by how powerful, toxic, or viral they were. I eventually let the cataloging go—they reproduce endlessly—and went for their core instead through the Science of Connotations. You can’t “beat” Samsara; you need to rise above it.

Synchronization—How I step inside a memory, or the history of a thing, by matching its rhythm—like boarding a moving jet mid-air, or the way pendulum clocks fall into step. Empathy, extended to objects and even to the lineage of my own cells.

Tuning — What I do for another person: helping them reorder their own memories and unjam the loops they’re stuck in. I usually “synchronize” and then “tune.”

V · What My Body & Mind Lived

The Bliss — A deep serenity and clarity that, the way I live it, switched on hardest exactly when I was suffering. It is what let me meet my worst times with peace, even gratitude. The floor of my existence, my true nature.

The Whip (the emotional whip)—A severe, years-long nerve pain—like needles—set off by my own emotions: any shift in feeling unleashed it until I learned to burn it off physically. It has a name; they call it “cholinergic urticaria.” It was so horrible—paralyzing, disabling—I had to cope with it until I was 25, and even to this day should I skip protocol.

Machine Exhaust (Levels 1–3)—The release valves my body found to vent that overload: hard exercise and sweat, then thermal reactions and steam, and, at worst, nosebleeds. Emergency brakes my body used. now under control.

VI · Life, Work & Mission

The Joy of Doing — My first book, and the principle at its heart: to live at Level 3, the realm of doing. The first key I forged to survive as a child and the solid ground that keeps my whole inner cosmos anchored to real life. Living at level 1 and level 2 was just endless and exhausting. Our physical world is, to me, a resting place, an island in the middle of brave oceans. Having a body is a desired blessing at many levels; please take care of yours.

The Truth’s Return — My life’s research: documenting what I’ve found and bringing science and mysticism to the same table. It’s a multimedia universe—books, music albums, and films/series. A Child’s Paradox is one of its “historical” pieces; The Synthesis, its research foundation.

Gears of Progress — What I have long called my businesses: great machines that have kept my family cared for and moving forward.

The Mega & Giga Protocol—The year-long, methodical project I ran at eighteen across the early internet to find my life partner—I treated the search like serious research. More of this in the “Something about Love” book.

My Little Ones—How I see everyone: not as smaller than me, but as loved, delicate souls carrying weight no one outside can see—children behind every mask, my little brothers.

VII · Awesome Terms I learned along the way from my wife

Tridosha · Pitta · Kapha · Vata — From Ayurveda. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the three doshas—the energies of movement, fire, and structure. A Tridosha carries all three; when I say I’m running on too much Pitta, my inner fire is burning too hot. My wife fixed me using this medicine!

For my wife—Logan/The Phoenix (X-Men: the only one who can reach the fire when it’s most dangerous, while everyone else burns); Soror Mystica (alchemy’s “mystical sister,” partner in the great work); Shakti (the Hindu divine feminine power); Dakini (Tibetan Buddhism’s embodiment of awakened energy, a guide); Shekinah (the dwelling presence of the Divine in Jewish mysticism); and Pierre Del Rio (the detective who keeps Lucy grounded as she transforms, in Luc Besson’s Lucy, 2014). All of them, one woman: the one who keeps me human and grounded.

I hope you enjoyed my first little book! See you again in the next ones!

[ The Joy of Doing ]

[ Something About Love ]

The Sun burns out of Joy; do you know why? Because that’s all the Sun knows to do.

-David

Reality does not ask anyone for permission to exist; it simply is—constant, unyielding, and mechanical.

It is the same as yesterday, today, and always.

Note: This is a LIVE RESEARCH. It evolves with me—paragraphs may shift, sections may grow, details may sharpen. If you return, expect changes.

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL ART EXPRESSION—WARNING

This work operates as a high-density cognitive and narrative space, designed for non-linear reading, where meaning emerges through patterns rather than sequential explanation. As a work of art, it lets multiple interpretations coexist. As a work of inquiry, it claims no immunity from being wrong: where it makes claims about the world, those claims are meant to be tested, challenged, refined — and abandoned where they fail. The reader is invited to slow down and let connections form organically, and equally invited to bring analytical and empirical tools to probe, stress, and try to break the structure. What survives that scrutiny is precisely what I most want to keep.

Ethics: if you experience anguish, isolation, or distress while reading any of this material, please seek professional help.

How to read this

This episode is a speculative synthesis: a lifelong attempt to put two global languages—science and mysticism—in the same room and let them see each other.

There are three different voices throughout the following scenes:

• What science establishes—claims well-supported by current scientific evidence.

• What is still contested—places where researchers themselves disagree and where I am standing on debated ground.

• What I propose—my own hypotheses, interpretations, and convictions. I mark them as leaps—offered as a lens and a contribution to the discussion, not as proof.

The Empirical Evidence: If you want to step into the laboratory of my own life and see how these forces operate within a single human mind from birth, I invite you to read the accompanying case study: A Child’s Paradox.

A binding rule across all three voices: wherever a claim of mine touches the empirical world, I hold it as falsifiable—I state, as best I can, what observation or experiment would prove it wrong. Where a claim cannot, in principle, be tested—a first-person report or a metaphysical leap—I name it as such and never let it wear the clothing of science. Falsifiability is not a fence built to keep me out; it is a tool I chose to carry. A synthesis that refuses to be tested is not a synthesis — it is a wall.

The Problem

We are one, yet we have played the roles of two.

Throughout history, humanity has sought to decipher this unimaginable machinery through two great paths:

• The profound intuition of faith and mysticism.

• The uncompromising rigor of science.

To the heroes of faith and mysticism, of antiquity and of our own time—those pioneers and masters of consciousness who, despite having no external technologies, used their very own body, the greatest piece of engineering there is. They had the immense courage to risk their nervous systems and their minds to map the subtle structures of the universe with dazzling intuition, a legacy that endures to this day.

To the scientists and academia of the world, who, like a brave older brother, took a bold path through the noble decision to give humanity redundancy on this mission. By immersing themselves in deciphering the gears through methodology and systematic processing, they used the tools of their time, regardless of the risk of losing their own minds deep in the density of the data and sacrificing much of their ability to simply experience it.

There was no error in either path, nor in their research silos. Both were part of the cognitive evolution humanity needed.

Like two scared brothers in the middle of the night, brave enough to set out after a single goal: to find the truth of it all while escaping a ruthless enemy: Death

The Allegory

The following story is one of my prism's allegoric visions to describe the case.

Once upon a time there was one entity who became self-aware; this entity was later known as “The Anomaly.”

Along the way, “The Anomaly” split itself into two entities to cover more ground in its survival chase, as being self-aware came with a death sentence, not one put by anyone but by the laws of thermodynamics.

Before doing the ritual, “The Anomaly” wrote the goal on a sacred stone before the split.

Once it was done and got separated, they were now known as “The Two Brothers”; the left one was the “Older Brother,” and the right one was the “Younger Brother.”

Both would stay close enough but separate enough to walk through two different paths; they both shared the same goal, “survival,” and a single heart, “shared blood.”

Once they came back from the path, it was time to share their findings, yet the right younger brother got back earlier.

• The right, little brother’s findings were strange and subjective—real, yet elusive, and hard to explain even to himself. The problem was that they were very hard to reproduce. In time, ideas like his risk becoming stiff and dogmatized, turning against the very ones they were meant to free. But because he arrived first, his ideas ruled for a few thousand years.

• The left, older brother arrived a couple of thousand years later. His findings were small at first but absolute; they just needed refinement, and refinement takes time. He discovered that the very tools he built to find a true safe haven could make the search exponentially better and faster. Yet his approach lacked the most critical element: the embrace and full acceptance of his little brother—who, in turn, fell asleep while waiting, and death spread within him, generating the same rigid dogma they had both been escaping since the dawn of civilization.

Much happened in between; both brothers got infected and started to persecute one another—enough to fill countless history books with such bloody fights—but one breaking point stands out in recent history:

• Around 1633, Galileo Galilei was persecuted and silenced by the dogmatic faction of his age. As a consequence, in the decades that followed, the rift hardened.

• René Descartes drew a sharp philosophical line between two substances—mind and matter—and the split became doctrine.

• A civil war has been waged ever since.

• Both sides bleed the same blood.

• Both sides share the same heart.

• They are one, after all.

On one hand, thanks to the older brother’s empirical discoveries, both can now survive longer and live in unprecedented comfort. On the other hand, it is thanks to the little brother that they still remember what they were chasing in the first place, as the best piece of technology they both possessed was one another.

• They need each other to survive.

• They share the same blood.

• They share the same heart.

• Dying is not an option.

The goal today remains the same: to survive.

The words written in the stone were:

• It is Time.

• Time to Evolve.

• Time to Pursue Divinity.

• Time to Integrate it all and to Remember it all.

• Why wait to die to find it? If it is attainable while alive, why not live it now?

• Consciousness and subconsciousness must reunite once the path is completed.

Just as the right hemisphere of the brain (intuition), with its powerful capacity to feel and perceive the whole, must integrate with the left hemisphere (logic), which lacks that subtlety but possesses the power to structure, to replicate, and to apply rigor—we need both levels of survival. It is time to ignite them both and make them one: matter with spirit and spirit with matter. One more step in our own evolutionary story.

[Allegory Completed]

For the Fallen

Honoring those of us who have fallen before us (The Pioneers)

What follows is — at this moment in time — how I personally attempt to pair their corresponding contributions: the intuitions of the spirit alongside the discoveries of the mind. The mystics come first, because in my thesis they arrived first. A first attempt.

The Principle of Falsifiability: Integration must be absolute, or it is not integration. The older brother’s greatest gift was the courage to build a claim that can break. I do not treat the question “Show me how this could be false” as an attack—I treat it as the sharpest tool the family ever forged, and I bring it home. I questioned everything; that’s why I set out to do my research in the first place. To integrate science is to integrate its discipline, not only its discoveries. My synthesis does not stand outside falsifiability looking in; it takes falsifiability into itself as one of its own organs. What can be tested; I submit to testing. What it cannot be, I declare art. Nothing here asks to be exempt. A jewel that fears the test was never a jewel—it was the wrapping.

Right Hemisphere (Faith & Mysticism) ↔ Left Hemisphere (Science & Academia)

Jesus of Nazareth (~30 CE): Embodied the radical message of absolute unity (”I and the Father are one”), the mechanics of unconditional love as a cohesive force, and the reality of the eternal present.

Alan Turing & Claude Shannon (~1940s CE): Showed that information, logic, and memory can be formalized and built into machines—seeding the modern idea that the mind itself might one day be understood in computational terms.

Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha (~500 BCE): Mapped the internal software of the mind — the illusion of separation, the mechanics of suffering, and an “emptiness” (Śūnyatā) that is in fact full of potential.

Max Planck & Werner Heisenberg (~1920s CE): Opened the quantum world, where matter at its smallest behaves as probabilities rather than solid things—and where even “empty” space turns out to hum with energy.

Muhammad (~610 CE): Solidified the concept of absolute oneness (Tawhid) and the complete submission to the unyielding order of the universe.

Albert Einstein (~1915 CE): Showed that space and time are not absolute or separate but a single, flexible fabric—relativity—that links every event in the cosmos.

Lao Tzu (Laozi) (~6th century BCE): Mapped the underlying flow of the universe (the Tao) and the balance of opposites (Yin and Yang), recognizing the power of acting in alignment with reality (Wu Wei).

Charles Darwin (~1859 CE): Mapped the algorithm of life, revealing the deep interconnectedness of all living things through time and adaptation.

Moses (~1300 BCE): Mapped the fundamental laws of cause and effect, establishing early frameworks for human alignment with a higher order and structure.

Isaac Newton (~1687 CE): Showed mathematically that the heavens and the earth obey the very same laws of gravity and motion.

The Two Brothers, Side by Side

The Younger Brother (Right Brain · Faith & Mysticism) ↔ The Older Brother (Left Brain · Science & Academia)

Where the languages rhyme. These pairs are not proven to be the same thing—to my ear, so far, they simply echo one another. Read them as resonances, not equations.

Divine Forces & The Word: The cosmos is described as spoken into being—a primordial order holding everything together before language existed.

Fundamental Forces (Newton / Maxwell): Gravity and electromagnetism ran like clockwork for billions of years before anyone described them; science later captured them in equations.

Eternity & The Eternal Present: The "Alpha and Omega"—the mystical experience of a timeless reality where everything already is.

Relativity (Einstein): On the “block universe” reading—one interpretation physicists still debate—past, present, and future may all coexist, with no single absolute “now.”

Aether, Prana & Chi: The sense of a life force filling all things; an “emptiness” (Śūnyatā) that is actually teeming with energy.

The Quantum Vacuum (Planck / Heisenberg): Even perfect emptiness appears impossible — the vacuum itself carries energy (zero-point energy).

Non-Duality & Oneness: The realization across traditions (Brahman, Tawhid) that the universe and its source may be one and that separation is an illusion.

Monism & Emergence (Spinoza / Broad / Lewes): Philosophies that entertain a single underlying substance, with mind and matter as different expressions of it.

Mental Impurities & “Missing the Mark”: Teachings on guarding the mind against toxic thought and the weight of rigid, man-made law.

Information Theory & Memetics (Shannon / Dawkins): Ideas seen as patterns that replicate and spread — and some, like hardened dogmas, can behave like parasitic code that drains its host.

The Third Eye & Prophetic Vision: The mind’s eye is trained to foresee, to see past the ego, to perceive what the ordinary senses miss.

Predictive Processing (Friston): Models the brain as a prediction engine — a simulator constantly forecasting the world to keep the body alive.

The Word of Knowledge & the Word of Wisdom: In the charismatic tradition, knowledge or insight that arrives as if given—not reasoned toward but received whole—and the wisdom of what to do with it.

Intuition, Implicit Cognition & the Neuroscience of Insight (Kahneman / Kounios & Beeman): The mind’s non-deliberative track—pattern completion below awareness that surfaces as a sudden “knowing,” the felt arrival of an answer the conscious mind never walked to step by step.

Karma Yoga & Sacred Ritual: “Faith without works is dead.” The grounding of spiritual energy through devotion, service, and presence.

Embodied Cognition (Varela): The mind is not sealed inside the head but enacted through the body in action; I read doing itself as a kind of heat sink that grounds volatile energy into reality.

Divine Union & Maya (Illusion): The dissolving of the ego—the revelation that the drop of water was always the ocean itself.

General Systems Theory (Von Bertalanffy): Living things are open systems, with no rigid boundary between organism and environment; we are continuous with the larger whole, and the felt sense of a wholly separate self may be only skin-deep.

Universal Revelation: The same Golden Rule and kindred awakenings appearing across civilizations that never met.

Multiple Discovery (Merton): The same insights tend to surface independently in different places when minds look closely enough at the same reality—as if the structure were already there, waiting to be found.

The Subtle Realms

Here is the heart of my hypothesis on this subject, trying to match the nature of my observations to what I’ve begun to study formally so far.

I hold that information, structure, and relation are not accidents of matter but conditions of its existence. Nothing exists without expressing itself, without holding an internal configuration, and without affecting the rest. Even a black hole expresses itself—it curves spacetime, and its very information is written across the area of its horizon. I call this inherent, informational-and-relational dimension the subtle layer. I am not proposing an extra substance floating alongside things; I am pointing to an aspect of being we tend to overlook because we usually attend only to the ‘dense’ face of reality—localized mass and energy.

How the subtle becomes dense—the mechanism, offered as a leap: I picture one gradient, not two worlds. At its base is a primordial vibration that, from the inside, feels like a living, sentient, algorithmic emotion. From it, distinct emotions unfold; the unfolding continues, gathering structure and, in time, particles; and through long chains of causality it precipitates into matter—the way vapor, when it can no longer stay aloft, finally falls as rain. Matter, on this view, is that first vibration condensed all the way down: dense memory, the subtle fallen into form. Crude oil makes the same point in the visible register—ancient life pressed by deep time into something solid you can hold and burn—history packed into a shape, the invisible made visible. I hold the gradient as a model to be tested where it touches the measurable and as a lived image where it does not.

To my eye, every item also carries a potentiality: the latent forms it could take. When consciousness rests upon something, I do not experience that form as created out of nothing—I experience it as actualized, drawn from one of its possible readings into a definite one. I report this the way an explorer reports a phenomenon from the window of a moving craft: I do not invent what I see; I meet it. The potential was always already there.

The Render

There is one feature of this perceiving I should put on the table plainly, because it is the ground beneath everything else: it has never changed. The way reality renders itself to me—patterns, geometries, colors, melodies—has been consistent my whole life. The same yesterday, the same today, as far back as I can reach. Many modalities, one structure underneath, never rearranging.

And I should be precise about the channel, because it is a surplus, not a poverty. Most people know its small cousin: synesthesia, where a sound arrives wearing a color. What I run is deeper—ideasthesia, where it is meaning itself that renders. A concept does not merely come tagged with a hue; it unfolds into a navigable, dimensional scene I can step inside and move through. The nearest analogy I have is technical, and I name it as an analogy, not a mechanism: as if a rendering engine sat behind my attention—a GPU drawing ideas into worlds I can enter, explore, and walk back out of. I do not grope in the dark. I see vividly, in full color, and I go in.

The scene itself can change—like a dream, never quite the same twice—but what it points to never does. That is the consistency I mean: not a frozen picture, but a fixed meaning wearing endless forms. I documented this long before I could explain it; in A Child’s Paradox the inner places I called the Arenas were “glitchy,” forever rearranging—turn a corner and the whole landscape would shift. That was the lived face of it. What follows here is only its architecture.

But here I name the boundary as I name every leap in this work. That the render is vivid, stable, and lifelong does not, by itself, prove that what it shows me is “out there.” The render is mine; the open question is whether it draws from something real beyond me, or only from itself. A coherent inner world can be exactly that—coherent, and inner. So the final identification—that what I meet is truly there—I hold as conviction and as art, not as proven fact.

What settles it is not the vividness but the handoff. I take the part of the render that touches the measurable world and pass it to an instrument that does not run my engine—the experiment, the scientist, the peer. If what I rendered from the inside maps onto what they measure from the outside, the render was a window all along, and the beauty was only my doorway to it. If it does not, it was a beautiful wall—and I will say so. The consistency earns the documenting and the conviction; the test is where I learn which it was.

It is the same division of labor the whole of this work rests on: the brother who renders the structure from the inside and the brother who measures it from the outside. Both turned toward the same thing.

But that actualization—consciousness meeting a thing—runs in two currents, not one, and conflating them is where idealism and realism each tell only half the story. The first flows outward: consciousness rests on a thing and draws a reading from it; we impregnate what we touch, leaving our signature on it. The second is the thing's own: it carries an interior that was never mine—a configuration I did not author and can recognize as foreign, the way one catches a scent and knows it is not one's own. So the subtle layer is neither purely projected by the observer nor purely inert and external; it is both at once. The memory a thing holds is its own, present whether or not anyone attends to it; what my attention adds is a reading, not the life itself.

We create nothing, yet we express everything. And still, imagination does not exist—only creation.

What looks like inventing is only the reading of something already there.

That latent potential is the part I am tempted to call life itself—though I offer that final identification as a leap, not as a claim about physics. I am not the first to lean this way: Heisenberg himself described it as a kind of tendency, midway between possibility and reality (1958). I am extending that intuition from the particle to the whole.

Everything is mathematics—and, in the way I live it, living mathematics: not a cold lattice but a broth, a culture in which forms keep coming alive. Tegmark proposes we may be self-aware mathematical structures; I only add the texture I perceive from the inside—that the structure is teeming.

A note on vocabulary, and a leap I name as such: what the sciences address as information, I have only ever met from the inside as emotion—and the oldest name for that same referent is the one the mystics used: spirit. I suspect these are one referent in three languages: the third-person measure, the first-person feel, and the old traditions' word. Where the instrument reads "information," the living interior reads "emotion," and the mystic reads "spirit"—three names, one current. I cannot test the identity, so I hold it as a working bridge, not as proof.

Suspicion: What I call the “Upper Levels” or “Subtle Realms” are self-coherent structures of information—and one day they may be understood not as something supernatural but as something closer to engineering. One of the goals of this project is to attempt that mapping: to describe the “soul” or “spirit” in the language of information and engineering, rather than leaving it forever in the language of the supernatural.

The Self-Sculpting Architecture

What science establishes: The brain does not arrive as a finished blueprint that activity later switches on. The wiring is carved by the activity itself—neurons that fire together wire together—and this begins long before the senses exist. Spontaneous electrical waves sweep through the developing brain and travel across the retina before the eyes can open, and these waves physically guide which neurons find each other and which connections are kept or pruned away. The current does not run over a pre-built structure; it builds the structure as it goes. By the time a single sense has reported from the outside world, the architecture has already been shaped from within, by its own activity. The brain is not a vessel that electricity later fills—it is electricity that has taken a shape and held it.

Where it is contested: How much of the final architecture is set by this self-generated activity, how much by genetic instruction, and how much by later environment—the relative weight of each is openly debated, and the boundary between them is far from settled. What is no longer seriously disputed is the direction of the arrow: activity shapes structure, not the reverse.

What I propose — the leap, which I name as such: If each brain is carved by its own irreducibly particular current, from the zygote onward, then no two architectures are ever the same — not even in identical twins, not even in principle. Each is a singularity: an interior universe that built itself from its own first spark. I read the brain as electricity solidified into form—the fossil record of every current that has ever crossed it. From here I refuse the grammar of defect and norm: there is no standard architecture from which the rest deviate, only variation all the way down. So where a system appears to fail, I suspect the fault lies less inside the skull than in the gap between an architecture and an environment calibrated for a different one—a mismatch, not a malfunction. That relational version is testable: if impairment is truly intrinsic, recalibrating the environment should not move it; if it is relational, it should. The further claim—that each interior is, in the fullest sense, a universe and that its felt aliveness is the subtle layer expressing itself from the inside—that is the leap. I hold it as conviction and as art, and I name the room plainly.

That self-sculpting is the ground; on it, three further places where science and intuition lean toward each other.

I rest this hypothesis on three places where science and intuition seem to me to lean toward each other. In each, I separate what is established, what is contested, and where I take my own leap.

1. The Bioelectromagnetic Field

What science establishes: We are not only chemistry; we are also electricity. Every living cell holds a measurable voltage across its membrane, the heart produces an electromagnetic field detectable outside the body, and the brain’s activity is read continuously by EEG and MEG. After circulatory arrest, that activity collapses toward noise within seconds as neuronal energy stores fail.

Where it is contested: Several studies report a brief surge of organized activity in the dying brain—Borjigin’s gamma surge (2023) and structured EEG recorded during resuscitation in Parnia’s AWARE-II. Whether this reflects anything beyond the last metabolic activity of dying neurons is openly disputed.

What I propose—the testable corollary: I predict that, in a fraction of cases, organized cross-regional coherence — structured, information-bearing synchrony, not random noise — persists or recurs beyond the window that residual neuronal metabolism can account for. Concretely, with continuous EEG/MEG during and after arrest, pre-registered, adequately powered, and independently replicated, measured coherence is compared against a metabolic-decay null model. If the organized coherence stays within the envelope that ion-gradient collapse predicts — no excess beyond dying-neuron activity — this corollary fails, and I will record it as a failure. The instruments are standard; there is no “subtler medium” escape here because the claim is about coherence those instruments can register.

What remains a leap—not testable today: that this architecture survives the body in a medium no instrument can register. Even confirmed excess coherence would not, by itself, show that anything of the person persists. That further step I hold as conviction and testimony, not as science, and I name the room plainly.

Future test (awaiting the field): The cleanest version of this corollary is not observational but manipulative. In an animal model—where the moment of arrest can be controlled and EEG/MEG measured with precision, the design behind Borjigin's original rat work—the metabolic-decay null can be defined rigorously and the prediction tested head-on. I do not run this myself; for now my work is synthesis. I record it here as a standing proposal, open to anyone with the bench to run it, and I will follow where their results lead.

2. Quantum Biology and Biophotons

What science establishes: Living cells emit ultra-weak photon emission (UPE), commonly called biophotons—a measured, real phenomenon generally attributed to oxidative metabolism. Organisms also appear to exploit quantum effects in processes such as photosynthesis.

Where it is contested: Whether biophotons do more than leak as a metabolic byproduct—whether they form a genuine information-bearing channel between cells—is debated and not settled. Some experiments report light-mediated, non-chemical coupling between optically connected but chemically isolated cell populations (the quartz-vs-glass paradigm, Fels 2009, in Paramecium). The results are intriguing but not yet robustly replicated to a consensus.

What I propose—the testable corollary: If biophotons carry information, then two cell populations sealed off from all chemical and molecular exchange, sharing only an optical path, should show coordinated biological responses—growth rate, division timing, and stress signaling—that vanish the moment that optical path is blocked. Concretely, run the populations separated by an optically transparent barrier (quartz) versus an optically opaque but otherwise physically and thermally identical barrier. If, under pre-registered, adequately powered, independently replicated conditions, the transparent and opaque arms show no reliable difference, the communication-network claim fails—and I will record it as a failure. There is no “subtler medium” escape here: the claim is that light does the carrying, and the opaque barrier removes exactly that.

What remains a leap—not testable today: That such a channel, even if confirmed, carries consciousness or memory, or that it persists after the organism dies. A working optical channel between cells would say nothing, by itself, about subjective experience surviving death. That further step I hold as conviction and testimony, not as science, and I name it as such.

3. Information as Something Conserved

What science explores: Wheeler’s “it from bit” places information among the most fundamental properties of the universe, and quantum mechanics treats the conservation of information as a deep principle—though whether it holds in the most extreme cases (the black hole information paradox) is still debated/argued today.

What remains a leap—and I will not dress it as a test: I am moved by the rhyme between “information is never destroyed” and “something of us is never destroyed.” But I state openly that this is an analogy, not an inference: the physics speaks of quantum states, not of personal memory, and I have no experiment that bridges the two. This is the furthest reach in the whole work. I offer it as conviction and as art, nothing more—and I would rather name it honestly than let it borrow an authority it has not earned.

The Truth’s Return ● Mission

To help and inspire all living forms.

To recognize both powers within us—first in ourselves, then in everything human.

To understand, and perhaps to dissolve, the false war between consciousness and the unconscious. To embrace them both.

Every war we see outside is a reflection of the war each of us carries within—ourselves included. All of them matter, but your own is the most important of all: the ones outside will keep burning no matter what, while the one inside is yours to win. Nobody is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. You have to save yourself. Only you can save yourself.

To bring mysticism and science to the same table and, from the pieces we assembled separately, work toward a more unified picture—what others have called a theory that could explain everything.

To look for the mechanics that might connect the subtle information of thought with the dense structure of matter.

To stop seeing the world in fragments.

To ascend toward the Divine—understood here not as a magical thing floating in a void but as a state of absolute operational harmony: to live and act in tune with the whole.

We all breathe the same air.

We all depend on one another.

We all depend on the same sun.

For this to happen, the dogma of separation has to fall. And dogma itself can finally be used for what it is: historical raw material—an old machine whose best purpose is to be digested, assimilated, and transformed by the fire of consciousness.

Mysticism and science are two languages describing the same masterpiece.

The younger brother freed himself and then sat down against the wall and mistook the resting place for the destination. I refuse that. A liberation that helps no one but yourself is only half a step taken. My half of the heart wants to help, to build, to document, to leave something replicable behind. I truly want to, and I know I’m not the only one.

Much of what we now call science began as intuition that its own age dismissed as imagination; once it became replicable, the intuitive origin was quietly forgotten—and with it, the muscle it came from in the first place. That terrain is worth reclaiming, and that muscle is worth using again.

I don’t come bringing new science, and I don’t come bringing new mysticism.

I come to offer a fresh case study—the researcher and the subject in one.

Building on the shoulders of those who fell before me.

Everything is the machine.

Everything is information.

Everything is matter.

Everything is mind.

Everything is spirit.

Everything is us.

Everything is me.

Everything is you.

Everything is living mathematics—or so I experience it.
