"I was just a few years old when it happened. Suddenly, everything felt… cold. Not physically, but existentially cold. I sensed that something was wrong-false, or not as it seemed. But I couldn't put it into words or explain it. I looked around and realized something wasn't right. Everything felt unreal.
Later, I have often asked myself: What is this? This 'world'? My curiosity deepened. I tried to recall this feeling of disconnect from reality, and kept questioning. It all seemed unreal-yet somehow, I'm here. That's when I became aware."
Many people share this strange, haunting experience: rare moments in life when, suddenly, the world feels unreal. Your parents or friends begin to look unfamiliar, almost alien. Everything around you seems like a grand theater, with people moving like mechanical actors, and objects reduced to mere props, carefully arranged to keep the performance running smoothly. You feel as if you're watching it all from some distant, unreal dimension-as if life itself is nothing more than a strange game.
In those moments, it's as if you're beginning to remember who you truly are. It feels like waking from a dream - but something keeps holding you back, gently pulling you away from full awakening, from complete understanding. It feels as if you're on the verge of understanding everything - the meaning behind it all. But then, just as quickly, the feeling slips away, as if something gently steers your mind back into the rhythm of daily life. It's like that fleeting thrill you felt as a child when you caught a fish, only to watch it wriggle free and slip from your hands.
Over time, that strange feeling from childhood lingers, becoming a vivid, unforgettable memory. You find yourself returning to those moments again and again, still asking the same question: What was that? And as you begin to reflect on those mysterious glimpses, you realize - they were given to you as quiet invitations, signs meant to awaken you.
These experiences are so rare, so fleeting, that studying them scientifically borders on impossible. They last only seconds, arriving without warning, with no connection to any identifiable environmental triggers. Their origin remains a complete mystery.
But what if these moments are glitches - fragments of a higher intelligence woven into the fabric of our lives? What if everything around us is a theater, a carefully crafted screenplay designed by an advanced intelligence? And we've been placed within it to observe ourselves-to see which roles we choose, which sides we take.
And death? Death is the logout. We awaken outside this game-simulation, face-to-face with that higher intelligence, which is part of us - our true self. There is no hell or paradise, because this isn't about punishment or reward. It's about growth.
When you realize you're standing on the grand stage of the universe - that all of this was set in motion for you, for this very performance - you begin to value every moment of the magic of being here.
