Essays exploring the mysteries of altered states of consciousness, anomalous experience, high strangeness, esoteric wisdom traditions, and symbolism using a consciousness-first holographic framework as a guide.

DMT may act like a kind of biological key, a mechanism through which consciousness can temporarily shift its point of access within the holographic structure of reality. The worlds encountered in these states are thus not necessarily imaginary, instead being domains of reality that coexist with our own but remain hidden behind the narrow frequency band of ordinary perception.

The Gateway Report is often treated as an isolated curiosity: a declassified document that appears to sit at the edge of science, psychology, and speculation. Read in context, it becomes something more specific, reflecting a moment when intelligence agencies were actively asking whether consciousness itself had operational value. The underlying motivation being that, during the Cold War, both the capitalist West and soviet East, were searching for any domain — even those that sat outside of technical intelligence including perception, cognition, attention, and altered states of consciousness — that might offer a martial advantage.

Ancient cosmogonies are not literal or empirical descriptions in the modern scientific sense, but their symbolic structures appear closely aligned with the conceptual patterns found in contemporary physics and cosmology. This raises the possibility that mythic language, through symbolism and allegory, may have encoded a form of intuitive cosmological structure that resonates with modern scientific descriptions of the early universe. And I for one, can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, our ancient ancestors understood more about the origins of the cosmos and our place in it than what we gave them credit for.

The brain. What a wonderfully complex, and utterly fascinating organ it is, defying almost any attempt at trying to understand it. How does a collection of neurons give rise to the vivid, ineffable experience of being? Where does awareness emerge, and what is the seat of consciousness? The question of how subjective, phenomenological experience arises from purely physical matter, remains unresolved, with logic and computation alone seemingly insufficient to explain it.

We assume the world is solid, separate, real. Rocks, trees, stars… they appear as the building blocks of existence. Yet beneath each object lies a lattice of invisible harmonies, a field of coherence from which forms emerge. Matter is not primary. It is a crystallisation of pattern, a shadow cast by the light of consciousness itself. What we perceive as “things” are temporary focal points of enduring resonances, patterns that think, resonate, and endure within a deeper, unseen principle.

The way a civilisation understands the nature of reality also shapes how its people experience themselves within it. And ours has persistently reinforced the idea that reality is fundamentally material, mechanical, and indifferent, reducing human beings to something similarly impersonal and mechanistic, until we eventually begin to experience ourselves that way too.

◦ essays exploring the nature of reality and consciousness through altered states, anomalous experience, high strangeness + mind-matter edge cases || drawing on insights from a holographic universe model, psychology + ancient esoteric traditions ◦

In my work I explore consciousness, anomalous experience, and high strangeness using modern science, psychology, and esoteric traditions to bring these perspectives into dialogue for better understanding the world we inhabit.

My aim to answer three questions:

Who are we?
What kind of world do we inhabit?
And how can we participate in it more consciously and effectively?
