A Download From The Ether

Our intention, with this essay, is exploring.

Exploring what?

A very unusual idea that can be summed up in one word.

“Download.”

2 Quick Stories

Right near the end of August, in 2023, a new idea came to me.

“Infinity games.”

The idea came to me fully-formed.

There was no need for further elaboration, probing, or discussion.

You can find this essay in my “Infinity Games” essay.”

Even more than that, though, this essay, and the infinity games within it, appeared out of nowhere.

It was just like a download.

On some level, it felt as if it came from within me. But, on another level, it felt as if it came out of nowhere.

It just…appeared, fully-formed, much like a surprise gift.

The experience continues to stick with me.

Just as infinity games, themselves, continue to resonate with me, while inspiring many of my recent projects.

Our second story is far less compelling.

Out of all the books that I’ve read recently, my two favorites are “American Cosmic” and, then, “Encounters.”

Both of these books were written by Diana Walsh Pasulka. And, both of these books are absolutely transcendent.

A core idea, within both of these books, is the “download.”

A piece of information. An idea. A concept. A piece of knowledge. A possibility.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

A download can be any one of those things.

But, no matter what, it comes to you in a manner that suggests the following: this did not come from you.

My “infinity games” felt that way.

All of this brings us to the central points this essay is meant to clarify.

Your Own, Personal Download

You can receive a download.

A download of what?

Anything. Everything.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

If you want a new idea, you can receive it.

Or, if you want knowledge that, in its own way, allows you to invent something profound, you can receive it.

On another note, if you want a new image, to guide and direct efforts, you can receive it.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Or, at the very least, that is the idea.

On some level, this idea may be true.

My hope is that it is true.

Some of my recent experiences — “infinity games” being one of them — suggest that it is.

But, if it is, then why does this happen? And, how does it work, exactly?

The Origin Of Your Own, Personal Download

My answer to the questions outlined above is as follows: I don’t know.

But, even so, there are a few ideas flowing through me that, on some level, may suggest a measure of truth.

The first of which is that your consciousness may be a non-local phenomenon.

A phenomenon that exists beyond our physicality.

Your consciousness exists within your brain. But, it also exists infinitely beyond your brain.

My second idea is that your consciousness interacts with other forces, energies, entities, beings; ad infinitum.

Just as an example, your consciousness may interact with Morphic Fields — this is Rupert Sheldrake’s idea; fields of memory that percolate across our infinite Universe — that contain things you, personally, do not know.

By interacting with these Morphic Fields, you access things that do not begin with you. And, in doing so, you allow your brain and self to interact with these things, so that you can do something with them.

Something that only you, in all your magic and uniqueness, can do.

The third, and final, idea, that flows through me, is as follows: we possess an infinite intelligence, of sorts, that when interacted with, produces the things that we seek.

Every so often, the things that are given to us, by the infinite intelligence within, appear to come out of nowhere.

They appear to be downloads.

On some level, they are. But, even so, they do arise within our own, infinite intelligence

You Are A Being Of Infinite Intelligence

The central thesis of this essay is as follows: you are a being of infinite intelligence.

On some level, you have access to, and are a part of, infinite knowledge, information, ideas.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Even more than that, you can harness, though forces known and unknown, this infinite intelligence.

By doing so, you can receive anything you need, to experience anything you wish to experience.

We will produce further essays on this subject.

No matter what, though, remember that you, too, have access to the same consciousness that gave birth to the finest works of art, the finest inventions, and the finest blessings that those who came before you gave the world.
