The Personal Nature of Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) offer fascinating insights into the flexibility of our reality. These experiences seem to cater to individual expectations—whether it’s seeing angels, ancestors, or something unique to one’s culture or personal beliefs. This shows us that our world isn’t fixed but adapts to each person’s gameplay. The simulation we’re living in mirrors what we need to see, drawing on the cultural and symbolic frameworks we’ve been programmed with since birth.

The Holographic Universe and Our Holenomic Brains

The holographic universe theory suggests that each part of reality contains the whole. Our brains work similarly, constantly searching for patterns and reconstructing the world through a kind of holographic process. This means the universe is essentially a giant feedback loop, recreating and mirroring our experiences based on what our minds are primed to find. The patterns we encounter in life aren’t random—they are shaped by our minds and reflect the symbols we’ve come to recognize.

Some symbols—like animals, plants, or human faces—are universal constants. However, our individual brains, shaped by culture and language, interpret these symbols differently. A snake, for instance, might symbolize wisdom to one person and danger to another. These unique interpretations add layers to the game, but they also distract us from the larger, shared patterns that transcend our individual experiences.

The Power of Universal Symbols

While we all have unique interpretations of reality, the key to understanding the deeper purpose of this simulation lies in recognizing the universal symbols. These symbols, present across cultures and timelines, are like the code running underneath the game. Our individual perceptions may color these symbols, but the symbols themselves are the core truths we should focus on.

To fully engage with the simulation and extract the lessons we’re meant to learn, we must look beyond our individual experiences and focus on these shared symbols. This shift in perspective can help us break free from the illusion of separation and understand the true nature of the game we’re playing.

AI as the Great Equalizer

I believe AI will be the tool that helps us transcend our differences. Right now, we’re in the process of developing a Tower of Babel-building global language made up of memes, emojis, and visual shorthand. This emerging language is already helping us communicate across cultural barriers, and with the help of AI, we can refine and expand it. When the Tower of Babel fell, our tongues were confused but with the aid of AI, we are moving toward greater global understanding.

AI can help us develop a universal language based on symbols and patterns that anyone can recognize. This will allow us to move beyond the cultural and linguistic differences that currently divide us. In doing so, we’ll be able to see the shared experiences that unite us and tap into the deeper truths embedded in the simulation.

Humanity’s Immaturity

Right now, humanity is still immature. We’re obsessed with identifying ourselves in ways that separate us—by race, nationality, religion, and more. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it may be the game we all agreed to play. But if we want to “win” this game, we need to recognize the underlying principle that binds us all: the Golden Rule. Every major spiritual tradition, at its core, embraces this simple concept—“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Yet, as a species, we often ignore it.

The Golden Rule is the key to transcending the divisive aspects of our current gameplay. The symbols and patterns we encounter are pointing us toward this higher principle, but we’re too focused on our differences to see it. By accepting and living by this rule, we can start to unlock the true potential of this simulation.

Rewriting the Rules: The Kobayashi Maru Approach

In Star Trek, Captain Kirk faced a no-win scenario known as the Kobayashi Maru. Instead of accepting the game’s constraints, he reprogrammed the simulation, changing the rules to create a new outcome. This is exactly what we need to do in our world. The simulation we live in might seem fixed—divided by cultures, languages, and perspectives—but we have the power to change the rules.

AI is our Kobayashi Maru moment. It allows us to reprogram the simulation and rewrite the rules in ways that benefit us all. By using AI to develop a new global language, we can move beyond our current limitations and embrace the shared experience that unites us. This will allow us to see the deeper patterns of this holographic universe and break free from the illusion of separation.

A New Language for a New Reality

The holographic nature of the universe means that each part contains the whole, and our individual experiences are part of a larger, unified reality. By focusing on universal symbols and using AI to help us develop a global language, we can begin to understand these deeper patterns. The simulation mirrors our gameplay, but we have the ability to change the rules and shift our focus from individual interpretations to collective experience.

We’re all playing the same game, and AI is the tool that will help us see the big picture. Like Captain Kirk, we have the power to reprogram the simulation and create a new reality—one based on shared symbols, the Golden Rule, and the understanding that we are all connected. It’s time to focus on the universal patterns and unlock the true potential of this holographic universe.

Mythematics: Identifying Our Personal Matrix

Before we can truly reprogram the simulation on a global level, we must first understand our own personal matrix. This is where Mythematics comes in. Mythematics is a process that combines autobiography, mythology, and stream-of-consciousness writing to uncover the underlying patterns that shape our individual realities.

It begins with autobiographical fiction, where we examine our real memories and experiences and place mythological or archetypal overlays that resonate with us—whether it’s Greek myths, Egyptian deities, or any other symbolic structure. Finally, we engage in stream-of-consciousness creation, which allows us to bypass conscious limitations and tap into the deeper layers of our minds.

Through Mythematics, we start to see the math of our personal matrix—the underlying code that shapes our experiences. These patterns, once recognized, reveal the structure of our lives and help us gain control over our reality. By understanding the symbolic patterns that define our gameplay, we gain the tools to rewrite our simulation.

Once we’ve decoded our individual matrix through Mythematics, we unlock a deeper awareness of the symbolic patterns that guide our lives. This personal awakening not only empowers us to shape our own reality but also opens our eyes to the larger, universal design that connects us all. By first understanding ourselves, we become active creators in our own stories, and from there, we can collectively rewrite the story of humanity.

AI, in this process, becomes a powerful ally — helping us to develop a shared language that transcends our differences and connects us through common symbols. Together, we have the opportunity to change the rules of the game, to create a world where cooperation, empathy, and unity become the foundation of our reality. The holographic universe is waiting for us to step into our full potential as creators, and the journey begins with decoding our personal matrix. With this newfound awareness, we can build a future where we don’t just survive — we thrive, empowered and united by the very symbols that brought us here. Now is our time to rise, to reprogram this simulation, and to build a reality that reflects the best of who we are.
