how the digitization of reality is mimicking the actual nature of reality

 I.

In an old fishing village turned globetrotting-Instagram-hottie and surf-hunter magnet on the west coast of Mexico—Sayulita, it’s past midnight and I’m lying on a pool chair in a muggy, rusty porch room enclosed by half open windows. The only spot in this old adobe villa with enough breeze for the wet season mildew to dry. Through the window to my right enters a sonic steamroller. Jubilant mariachi from the town square echoing through the jungle, sonar exclamation points bouncing off trees, straight to my ear drum.

I’m here with my sister who recently had a stroke after her second jab, coming to the brink of death. But we’re fighting, and tonight she’s doing intensive healing treatments at a state-of-the-art holistic medical clinic, and instead of sleeping, I’ve been getting into the psycho-spiritual ramifications of mariachi and its triumphant repetition. The beat marches on as if going to war or having won the war.

My phone is nowhere near me, as has been the case much of this journey. But at one point in a half-awake state, I lifted my right hand, palm towards me in a familiar gesture. My body showing me how engrained it was, the only thing missing was the phone. I began to text a friend, spelling out the message on my palm before hitting send and catapulting the memo like a shooting star into the quantum net. ‘See,’ I thought to myself, ‘you can do it without a phone.’

I’ve been planning to write a piece about the digitization of reality and how that relates to the true nature of reality as being holographic and perceptual, rather than objective and concrete. And now is the perfect time as Facebook changes its name to Meta, rolling out the red carpet for the metaverse—a complete digital permeation of reality. The dawn of the metaverse is syncing with a dawning in human consciousness, in which we’re entering a higher level of the reality game. Part of this evolution entails us moving into our ability to architect and seed new realities, which I’ll delve into.

Technology is an extension of human consciousness, at times displaying aspects of our superordinary abilities we have yet to master. In this case, the metaverse will never be able to match the immense and intricate nature of the organic holographic universe. It will always be a copy within it, like a weakened echo. Similarly, in our current digitized societies (social media [social meds]), in which we have a copy of our self (our mimetic identity), the online relations, likes, and endorphin hits can never match the warmth of true human togetherness and our innate human inter-net, connecting us all, through which the frequency of love flows. The algorithms of its imitation result in a perpetual cycle of seeking and never fulfilling. Further, conforming to synthetic algorithms in fact dumbs down one’s ability to move into the highest range of frequencies now coming online on Earth.

That is not to say that the internet, digitized societies, and the metaverse cannot be used in the most sublime, life-giving manner; they can, but the current versions are now usurped by algorithms of control and conformity. We must attain mastery of our transmuting position within the organic holographic universe, in order to thereby be able to transmute digitized realities. It works in unison because there is no separation, but there are layers and varying frequencies. As we discover and harness our transmutational position in holographic reality we can then use the most advanced technology to assist us in our creations as living artists.

II.

The metaverse has been the end goal of digitization for a long time. We’re now moving at full tilt into smart cities, AI, the internet of things, the internet of bodies. To some this is frightening, to others exciting. I’m observing it neutrally. What I see is that it’s an imitation of what already is: that we’re living in a perceptual, holographic universe. And further, what’s occurring right now, hence the rapid onset of totally immersive digitization as it mimics nature, is that humans are waking up to their power as creators.

I would like to dive in further to the meaning of the holographic universe. It can be approached in a myriad of ways, but one most fundamental is to look at the essential nature of reality as we know it: it’s based purely on the senses. Senses are your nervous system; your nervous system is your brain. So fundamentally, in our current paradigm, everything we experience is our own mind, whether we’re experiencing something objective or not, the interface and interpretation is the mind-body itself. We don’t know if these apparatuses interpreting stimuli are accurate in their interpretation, or further if there’s an objective world that the mind is interfacing with at all. Our knowledge base of an external reality is essentially nerve impulses with interpretation constructed around them. Of course, this has been a fundamental and enduring topic of philosophical and scientific inquiry, I’m just taking my own poetic jab at it.

Even science is bound within a hermetically sealed vessel of sense-reliant data. The parameters that science works within are the parameters of the senses, which are only sensing a minuscule fraction of what’s possible. Further, we’ve been conditioned since birth to experience things within subsets of parameters created by our societies, language, context, and the meaning imparted thereby—signifiers and the signified.

“What is a word? It is the copy in sound of a nerve stimulus. But the further inference from the nerve stimulus to a cause outside of us is already the result of a false and unjustifiable application of the principle of sufficient reason. If truth alone had been the deciding factor in the genesis of language, and if the standpoint of certainty had been decisive for designations, then how could we still dare to say, "the stone is hard," as if "hard" were something otherwise familiar to us, and not merely a totally subjective stimulation!” - Friedrich Nietzsche

What Nietzsche is insightfully revealing is that even the logic that creates the signifying system of language is flawed. Fundamentally, translating a stimulus (sense experience of reality) into an objective conclusion is flawed. Yet, it’s the very thing that has enabled us to create consensual realities—societies, cultures—in which we can pretty much agree on a set of signifiers and the signified: This sensation means this, that sensation means that, now we interpret it with this word, and so on, verifiably creating a seemingly-concrete holographic reality that has been more and more concretized by the sheer amount of belief in it. All the while, each of us having our own discrete, subjective experience within this well-wrought playground we’re playing within. Hence, not really sharing the same experience of reality as our neighbor, let alone someone thousands of miles away with an entirely different set of significations.

We’ve been living in a certain consensual reality, to which many of us, since we were old enough to think for ourselves, could not personally subscribe. Because it’s a reality built on violence, greed, inequity, enslavement, destruction of the Earth, and other dumb, and frankly horrific, low-level frequencies. This brings us to where we are today, in which there’s occurring a massive dissolution of a long-term paradigm, the end of an epoch. Which is freeing up a lot of Prima Materia (material to work with) and space for those who are at the ready to seed new realities. In this human evolution, the human is changing into something entirely new, thereby shifting one’s experience of reality and shifting reality itself.

Those who have the most power in our societies absolutely understand the significance of signification. In other words, of the narrative. The image and word have been wielded as the most powerful tools throughout time. They bend and create reality. From the total rule of the church with the word of God when the population was illiterate; to the purchasing power of corporations and monopolies who own the media and thereby the narrative and thereby the emotional responses, spending habits, trends, and movements of the population; to the bold-faced censorship that must occur now in our digital realms where the everyday person has (or had) access to the same tools as those in power. Social media platforms did give power to the people for a while, but alarms were set off by the wildfire spread of the Occupy movement. And now the narrative is being turned inside out, upside down, in a web of illusions, a hall of mirrors, with AI algorithms precisely controlling what is allowed within this mad theater hall. The metaverse can be seen as the endgame of complete control, done in a such a numbingly coddling way that the digital world around you—the internet of things—not only meets your wishes, but knows your wishes, and not only knows your wishes, but planted your wishes. Unlike the mean mirror of the holographic universe that reflects your already irritable mood with a street full of screaming leaf blowers.

But going back to the topic of reality as we currently know it being reliant on the senses: So, science, in a sense, is not very scientific, but rather insular within a larger framework. Quantum physics seeks to rectify this chief issue between perception and reality, and what reality fundamentally is. And as we know, the findings of quantum physics experiments have pointed to the subjective, malleable nature of reality, at least at the quantum level. But our world also demonstrates fractal properties, with the micro mirroring the macro and vice versa.

Considering one of the most famous experiments—the double slit experiment—the origins of which can be found with Thomas Young in 1801. What the double slit experiment demonstrates is that a light particle/wave, exists as a wave, until an observer (or perception) comes into the picture, at which point it collapses into one definitive coordinate in space and time, as a particle. Before the observer or perception entered the equation it existed as potential, as possibility.

I know it’s conjecture to deduce metaphysical applications of quantum physics experiments, but taking metaphysics out of it, let’s look simply at what this vital experiment conveys, that is enough. Whether we apply it macroscopically or not is up to us. Part of the way we begin to know (and through knowing create) the holographic universe is by playing with it and seeing what occurs. Now to get to that.

This past year I’ve auspiciously intersected, in this vast and wild quantum field, with a star—a brilliant point of pure love. A future human, a future me. And the most astounding thing is, and something she confirms, I have dreamed her. She is a mirror to me. It feels nothing short of miraculous. When the fulfillment of a deep wish comes in such a wide time arc it’s imbued with a sense of awe as time and space collapse in a moment of conjugation, their relativity on full display.

In my late teens I had a fully articulated, angst-filled desire, unrelatable to most around me who were looking for love in and from another. My longing was to know myself as love, to be pure love without blockade. In some ways looking back it seems such an abstract yearning, but its validity is confirmed as I encounter a mirror of my true essence of fully embodied love (which includes all aspects, not the gooey, shmaltzy way we often think of love), and I understand that my obscure teenage desire was of particular import in the grand scheme of things. It was the part of me enslaved at that time longing to be burned in the truth of my essence. 

This may seem a bit of a digression, yet it’s relevant to the topic because it’s an example of my own reality-architecting coming online in a more prominent way. A quantum leap based on my innermost desires, which is catapulting me into entirely new reality coordinates.

Before I could begin to navigate the new terrain this interdimensional encounter introduced me to, I had to completely empty out. I spent most of last winter sitting silently in the middle of the mystery for months on end, letting go of everything I’ve known, letting go of knowing itself. Feeling a peaceful neutrality as my old self and reality dissipated. Just watching, not moving. I wouldn’t have known where or how to move, as the meaning of all signifiers was being shifted around and continues to do so. This is an important stage of embarking upon a new level of oneself and reality, as the truly new will be completely different from the old or what we could imagine from the vantage point of the old.  

IV.

Reality-architecting is nothing like creative visualization, affirmations, etc. Which are frankly ineffectual—an entrapped identity trying to think themselves out of their box—and which stem from and exist within an old reality, which is swiftly being replaced with something new. You architect from the still point of pure light within, your brightly silent, magnanimous star. To be precise, there is no “within” in a binary in/out sense, but this wording works mechanistically with our current logistical framework.

It’s from this singular space of light that you can shift the grid. That you morph the quantum field surrounding it, surrounding “you,” the field also as you—for you are not the body nor limited to it. The body, a supreme amalgam of light and matter, shows up in you, to navigate, play, and create on this material plane.

What we are, what it all is, can never be known in the traditional knowing sense. It’s unfathomable. And knowing in terms of concepts will always be external to where truth lies, which is in the immediacy of direct experience. From this space of immediacy you architect reality, not based on patterns, but following the cues of your high tech body apparatus to construct something fresh and new. This space is more than just the moment or “the now,” terms thrown around loosely that exist in a context of time. It is the gestalt, the whole picture, the whole quantum field, it is you. At the zero point you access all possibility. It’s where reality-transmutation occurs, continuously, ever fresh and new.

As we transmute “ourselves” by bringing our identities and patterns to this space of silence, which naturally burns them into more of the light of our true selves, we transmute the outer world that we are experiencing. You transmute the entire reality scene through the vertical axis of quantum jumping, turning it inside out through the still point of you. The field morphs around you, architected by you, birthed through you.

An important point to make: While there is a mirroring between the outer and inner, the world is not a direct mirror mirroring a singular identity you call you, as if everything that shows up in your life is your creation or fault. That oversimplifies a vastly complex system, and to suppose that reality reflects one seemingly discrete identity is to suppose that there is a discrete identity in the first place. Further, what I’m describing is not the idea that we are creators of reality in the common way it’s been thought of. In the reality that we’ve hereto known, we’ve hooked into reality systems that match our frequency and the patterns we’re running. So there is a mirroring as we fall into dimensions that match our frequency, if you will. When we reality architect we are moving into the zero point where patterns collapse and we’re able to actually create something new in true, pure, creative freedom. Constructing new pathways for ourselves and humanity.

Not resisting what we want to change or know must change, for resistance resides on the same frequency of the resisted and enforces its existence. Instead using what we want to change as fuel, letting it naturally collapse in our zero point and transmute into something new.

It’s through this very mechanism that the current human evolution is occurring. We dreamed it into existence through our deep longing and essential knowing of humanity’s brilliant potential beyond the current self-destructing consensual reality. Through us a new reality is being seeded as we embody the higher frequencies and step into our true nature.

While the above mentioned may all seem quite abstract, the mechanics of reality architecting are practical and about action springing from this inner sun. There’s been an arbitrary division implied between matter and spirit. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Matter is divine. And action with the body is a cosmic dance of light through the holographic net of reality and potential. Assessing the choices available from the space of immediate reality and choosing what most matches your truest desire, listening to your body signals.

Honest, spontaneous action from the center of you, where you no longer censor, and no longer act or react according to patterns or dictates that are not your own. Staying on the front edge of holographic creation as wholly new choices appear according to this freedom. It is from the position of already being at peace and satisfied, which occurs at this still center—this flame of existence existing—that reality morphs to match it.

As something begins, so must it end. My sister miraculously healed. From frantically worrying about who would take care of her two kids when she passed, to being given a new lease on life and a passion to help others who’ve been similarly harmed. This journey with my sister and what it meant to us is a whole other story. I’ve been estranged from her for years, and I wouldn’t have been able to truly hear or know the desperate help she needed if there wasn’t a powerful voice within that said: you need to help your sister, she’s dying. This impulse arose within the zero point. I had to first enter it to know where I was truly needed and what I truly desired. If I hadn’t, I may be too caught up in false identities to be in touch with this impulse, more essential than all others. I went immediately into action, and my sister, whom I love from the depths of me, is alive, and her children have their mother.

Sayulita had come to me in visions long before I set foot in it. With its beaming locals, jungle juice and greenery dripping from every crevice, huts and villas stacked up hills, golf carts decorated with neon lights weaving through mud roads. Similarly, I had a future memory of one of my sister’s main doctors, Dr. Chantal, and recognized her as an old friend when I met her, linear time collapsing as we enter the new reality. I was gifted artistic treasures and opportunities during this journey, something I didn’t expect, but made sense that when I surrendered to love these types of corridors would also open.

The metaverse is a cheap copy, a weak echo, of a profound truth: we are in a vast, malleable, infinitely flowering universe, and as living artists we have the power to architect and seed new realities within it.
