The book I wrote is called The Game of Earth. It takes the idea that this reality runs on learnable rules and asks the only question that actually matters once you accept that: okay, so how do you play it well? Written in gaming terminology to better explain the mechanics of reality. It gets into your energy as a literal resource with an exchange rate. The patterns running in the background of your decisions that were installed before you had any say in them. The people in your life and whether they're actually in your corner or just in your orbit. The clock that's running whether you're paying attention or not.

It's not a spiritual book in the traditional sense. It doesn't tell you what to believe. It just gives you the tools to work with whatever you already believe.

Some readers have told me it reorganized something for them. One said it changed his life entirely. I'll leave it at that.

Would genuinely love to hear opinions on it if you read it or have read it. Always open for questions too. So far the consensus has been good 😊

Everyone talks about glitches like the Mandela effect or weird coincidences as proof of a sim, but what if the actual rendering lag shows up as déjà vu specifically. Think about it, your brain flags a moment as familiar right before it happens, that split second moment. That would track with some kind of predictive pre-render, the system briefly pulling frames it already computed because you're about to make a choice it's already aware of. I'm not a physicist. I just find it a much more interesting theory than "Berenstain Bears" spelling arguments. It’s also wild that we still don’t have an understanding of déjà vu and what causes it. Same as dreams. And consciousness for that matter.

Okay so about 7 or 8 months ago I got annoyed that every set felt like assembling IKEA furniture with extra steps, you follow the manual, you get the thing, it sits on a shelf, it seriously started to feel more like a chore than a hobby. So I started just ordering pound bins of random bricks sorted loosely by color from a reseller near me. No instructions. No box art telling me what I’m supposed to be making. Just a pile of blue and a pile of tan and whatever mood I'm in that night.

Some nights I build a weird little boat or spaceship. Whatever I conjure up. Some nights nothing works and I go to bed and honestly that's fine too. But it’s changed how I actually think of the hobby itself, less about completion and more about just sitting there moving pieces around like it's a puzzle with no picture on the box.

I also think it’s a phenomenal way to detox the brain and really do want to highlight that. We spend so much time online. I’m an author so I spend even more time on the computer and analyzing what I write or researching or whatever it may be. For me I find it’s a good “break away” so to speak.

Anyone else do this instead of collecting sets?

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk lol

The Earth and its people are going through significant change. We can see this not only in our inner circle but simply walking around town and talking to people in person. A lot of people are dealing with hopelessness and despair. I want to remind you of our mission. Hold the line. We are here for a reason. Even when we feel we can’t go on ourselves, still, hold the line. Continue to smile at others. Continue to help those that you can. Form a community. Know your neighbors. Love everyone including yourself. We are all here having one of the most unique experiences possible; one that no one can even explain (like we can’t explain consciousness, dreams, Déjà vu, etc.).

This is just a message of encouragement and love.

Be hopeful for the future. Things are changing. But we have been through enough bullshit already, all across the country, that we truly deserve to see the fruits of our labor that wait for us on the other side of these changes.

Love to you all. Keep your energy up. Don’t give in to the enemy. ❤️🎆

Quote form his X post:

“So uh, simulation theory might be real.

I dropped a sim computer into the simulation my Astra agents live in. One agent sat down and built a simulation of his own, with its own agents living inside.

Simulations all the way down”

We are each born with different stats. Some of those stats are fixed and others can be changed (e.g. a fixed stat might be a disability, a changed stat might be how you respond to a situation.). But even with the fixed status you can change your mindset on how you view them and thus manifest the outcomes you desire.

None of us can avoid the downsides of the game, or life, as everyone calls it (I prefer game because it's the best way to explain the framework of our reality). No, we can't avoid the loss of loved ones or the lost job. But we can change our reaction to it. This is the key. What you are giving your energy and focus to is what you are attracting into your life. Start asking yourself what this life does to you. What energy it drains from you. And start paying close attention to what you give your energy to. Refuse to give your energy to things that don't serve you (this could be people or jobs). Stay away from them. People that drain you won't be needed here and, in fact, will stunt your growth on gaining what you actually want (why? because your focus is on the drain rather than the gain; no rhyme intended, it just came out that way)

Most of us are still playing this life like it has an end screen (it doesn't, you level up to the next place!) and we are standing in the credits going okay, now what, and queuing the next boss fight. Most aren't focused on the now. Being present in the now is not only going to help you with your manifestations but also help you with the ability to hone in on actually appreciating the moment (hint: take mental snapshots to remember the memory). The research has a name for all this and it's called the arrival fallacy. The game has a shorter one which is called the treadmill. This is where you're just going through the motions and not putting intention or thought into what you're actually doing (ever take a two or three hour drive and you cant believe where the time went and can't even remember much of the drive? it's because you're full attention wasn't on it, you were in what's callled the grey zone). Put genuine thought into your work and your daily life. This then goes into your subconscious. And what's in your subconscious is what manifests often in life.

So here is the cheapest large upgrade. Whatever you are currently saving for a eulogy, the pride, the apology, the I love you, the whatever, ship it this week, to the person who is alive today. Not the polished build that you took weeks or months or years to put together. The real one. Ship the actual product. The logs compile actions, and the game has never once cared about the draft you keep meaning to submit.

The absolute best practice I can give you: once a month (or at least once), write down the three traits you most confidently claim about yourself, then list the last three actual logged actions (with dates) that prove each one was true. Empty logs mean you then retire that claim or start rendering it for real.

Keep writing it down (there's something about ink to paper), keep visualizing it, keep watching, and when it manifests, scratch it off the list and write down the next.

You were never supposed to beat this game. It's a training ground. This place is a tutorial level for the next place we are heading to.

Instead, you were supposed to play it. Thus, play with intent and learn something from it. Everything you desire is here, right now, waiting for you to unlock it. You just haven't figured out how to unlock it yet.

That's really the post. I was hoping someone could recommend a 'stack' that worked for you. Every morning going to work feels like stepping into hell. And it's not "find another job", it's just more like "god I really dont want to do this." I've noticed I'm more motivated when I have plenty of energy drinks (horrible for my health) and get a good nights rest. But ultimately what I want is motivation and happiness at work. Is there anything that exists that basically says "you're not at work, you're on a blissful experience of life" lmao

I know I'm being ridiculous. But there must be something I can take. I've been reading more and more about microdosing and things associated with that, the benefits like clarity and energy.

And yes I know there is the research index tab. I've scrolled through that and read quite a bit of it. It's just hard to connect things together and say okay, that would be ideal.

Has anyone else been in this situation, and what works for you?

Not asking for proof today, I've done that already lol. Just been thinking about how much it sucks to live with the thoughts of all this but not not actually having anyone to share it with (family doesn't believe in it, so can't have the convo there). Would be nice to bring it up at a dinner party without getting mocked or getting a forced laugh from someone, most people won't even engage in conversation with you about this.

So genuinely, who else here thinks about the sim a lot and just wants people to talk to about it? Not debate or be forced into convincing someone to believe the theory, just someone you can pick up the phone and call be like hey here's what I noticed, did you notice that too? and they're like yeah, I absolutely noticed it.

Would be nice to have a few friends in the sim who, well, understand that it's a sim. ❤️

Each of us have our own stories of synchronicities or glitches, or we can try to case things off mechanics, or perhaps strange things that have happened throughout the years (which to me, seems to be getting “amped up” recently.. or maybe this is just because I’m paying attention).

Anyway. None of us can prove it. And no, it doesn’t mean that any of this is less real. If anything, it would prove God, no? Someone would have had to create it (it’s the same circle we can do which I’m not interested in; e.g. okay well then who created God, okay well then who created the Big Bang etc).

Ultimately, why do you think this ‘place’ is a sim?

Would prefer this be for serious conversations. Debates welcome. Just keep it civil.

Most of the time when this topic comes up, it jumps straight to the paranoid stuff where everyone is freaked out. Are we NPCs, does this mean nothing is real, if life is a game then no one is real (not true), is there a point to any of it, what happens then when we die, does that mean we reincarnate, why are we even here, etc etc. I get why that's what we all immediately jump to.

Like the thought that if this is some kind of constructed or simulated experience, then someone or something bothered to make it detailed enough for a sunset to actually hit different some evenings, or for a song to catch you off guard and ruin your day (if you allow it to).

Not looking for the "we're probably in a simulation and it's terrifying because this means my dog is fake and is going to eat me while I sleep and I'll reincarnate as a worm which sucks" kind of answers lol. Plenty of that already exist. I want to hear the version that made you feel a little more okay if you found there was definitive proof that I could give to you and say look, here it is, we are in a simulation. If I showed you the proof, what's your positive reaction to it.

We spend a lot of time looking up at the stars and it's something that has been passed down to me from multiple generations. It's something I've personally always enjoyed and I got her into it. She started using my binoculars and doing some "light" stargazing (no pun intended). We often spend time outside looking up at the stars and talking about life and our loved ones that have passed away (grandparents and whatnot). Had a genuine moment tonight where she asked me how far I thought the farthest light was, how long it might take to get there. Which then led us into an entire conversation about Einstein, the theory of relativity, surpassing the speed of light, becoming infinitely large, etc etc.

The entire purpose of this post is to tell you to spend time with your kids and get outside. Not only are you getting to view something incredible together but you get an opportunity to break away from technology and have a genuine conversation with each other.

I also want to ask you all something. Why have I, and the generations before me, been so incredibly amazed at the stars? I know that this dates back for eons and yeah we can all say ancestors were obsessed with the stars and always looked up and had questions. But what is it? Is it curiosity? Wanting to understand the nature of reality? Home? A longing (that's what it feels like to me, like I'm missing something)? Do you feel this way? Do you feel like, when you look up at the sky, that you're looking at home? It just doesn't ever get old to me. And I know that she's now having the same wonder and fascination as myself. I feel like I could sit there for hours and hours just staring at the sky. Several years ago we saw several meteors during one of the meteor showers which she still references.

Anyway I'm going to stop tying or I'll end up on a total rant about stars, meteors, nebulas, our existence, etc.

(I really need to get a telescope. I keep saying this to myself and at some point I'm going to get us that as a gift. Anyone here who is using a telescope must really feel deeply connected)
