The Holy Grail
Here is a puzzle that has captivated adventurers, poets, and
priests for millennia: the quest for the Holy Grail. Legend paints it as a cup,
a stone, or a sacred bloodline, a physical relic imbued with divine power.
We Found the Map That Shows the Way: Trinity Cosmology and
the Omega Point
For centuries, our cosmology was a linear affair: a beginning, a middle, and an end. But this simple narrative is being replaced by something far stranger and more profound. At the heart of this new vision is the concept of a self-creating, teleological universe—a cosmos with an inherent goal. In the early 1900’s the Jesuit paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin envisioned this destination as the Omega Point, a final state of supreme consciousness and unity. Crucially, Teilhard insisted that Omega is not merely a future outcome we are building toward; it is a transcendent attractor that is already present, a cosmic magnet pulling all of evolution and history toward itself.
If the Omega Point is the destination, love is the engine
driving us there. if we love God completely and God loves us completely, we are
drawn together in unitive love. The Alpha and the Omega are tied together in a
strange loop. Cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter describes a "Strange
Loop" as a paradoxical, hierarchical system that, by moving up or down
through its levels, finds itself back where it started. It is a system that
creates itself. Think of a computer booting up: a simple set of instructions
brings hardware to life just long enough for it to load the full operating
system, which then takes over—the end state effectively pulls the initial state
into being. The universe, in this view, is the ultimate Strange Loop. The
end—the Omega Point—is recursively creating the beginning by a set of
instructions we call The Gospel.
This self-creating cosmic architecture finds a stunning parallel in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. In what can be called a "Trinity Cosmology," the Godhead is mapped onto this universal structure. God the Father is the timeless person, transcendent "I Am," the ground of all being. God the Son is a person begotten from the father, not made, he is the Logos, is the information, the pattern, the Word that unfolds within the loop of space and time. And the Holy Spirit is the person that proceeds from the Father and the Son, the dynamic process of evolution, the "love process" that drives the loop forward, connecting the immanent with the transcendent.
This map displays a seemingly impossible self-creation
This map displays a seemingly impossible self-creation,
where the future influences the past, but it has the most firm main-stream scientific
footing in the concept of eternalism, a consequence of Einstein's theory of
relativity. From a God's-eye view outside of time—the perspective of the
Father—the entire four-dimensional block of spacetime exists at once. Past,
present, and future are equally real. In this eternalist framework, the
"end" of the universe and its "beginning" are co-eternal,
resolving the paradox of a self-creating cosmos. The universe is not just a
sequence of events; it is a complete, static, four-dimensional object that
contains its own story. Within this block, however, we experience the flow of
time and the drama of becoming. The universe is not just happening; it is
becoming what it already is from a higher perspective. It is being pulled
toward a pre-existing state of ultimate coherence (Omega) via a
self-referential feedback mechanism (the Strange Loop). The laws of physics,
then, are not merely descriptive rules; they are prescriptive components of a
teleological algorithm unfolding toward a divine purpose.
Authentic Communion in The Original "I Am" Prayer
Jesus described his state of mind
in communion
![]() |
The Interface |
The prayer begins with The Call: "Our Father who art in
heaven". This establishes a relational connection, acknowledging our
origin in the transcendent ground of being. It is the initiation sequence that
opens the communication channel to the great attractor... this is Authentic
Communion.
The next line is the core of the protocol: "Hallowed be
thy name". The "name" of God, given to Moses at the burning
bush, is "I Am." This is the ultimate statement of being. To
"hallow" it is to recognize this ground of being as the most sacred
and fundamental reality. It's no coincidence that the Father told Moses to take his shoes off on this hallowed ground of being. In doing so, we consciously align our own
self-awareness—our personal "I think, therefore I Am"—with the
universal "I Am" of the cosmos. We are made in his image. When we notice
I Am we reflect his image. It is the moment our personal strange loop
synchronizes with Alpha and the Omega, the cosmic Strange Loop. Contemplate the
miracle of being, feel the awesome power of the miracle!
"

"Moses, take your shoes off on this hallowed ground of being." |
The I Am prayer has been practiced throughout history with subtle effects that grow according to the practitioner. Start thinking about our technological efforts converging on interfacing and connecting.
With the connection established and synchronized, the next
step is to set the engine's purpose: "Thy will be done on earth as it is
in heaven". This is the kernel of the cognitive thermodynamic state. It is
an act of surrendering the ego's drive for control and aligning the individual
will with the universal "will" of the attractor. This divine will is
not arbitrary; it is defined by the greatest commandment: to love God with all
one's heart, soul, and mind. This act of alignment configures the human mind to
operate in harmony with God's universal process. I - Love - You. Look at that
statement carefully. This is the Trinity in an internal strange loop, The
Trinitarian God within you, because you express this internally and in private
You - Love - the Father: This is how Jesus prayed: "When you pray, go to
your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your
Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Enlightened,
you have found the Holy Grail. Go for the Glory, take a sip!
Living Water - The Fuel of Devotion: Love as a Mode of Knowledge
Keep thinking about our technological efforts, converging
technology on interfacing and connecting.
This command to love
is not a call for sentimentality. It is a directive to engage a specific
cognitive mode. As the philosopher Aldous Huxley articulated in his work on the
perennial philosophy: "We can only love what we know, and we can never
know completely what we do not love. Love is a mode of knowledge, and when the
love is sufficiently disinterested and sufficiently intense, the knowledge
becomes unitive knowledge and so takes on the quality of infallibility".
This selfless, focused love is the fuel for the cognitive engine. It is a state
of pure attention that provides, in the language of information theory,
"infinite bandwidth" for communion with the divine.
This brings us to the emerging field of cognitive
thermodynamics, which models the brain as a thermodynamic system that processes
information. The Lord's Prayer can be understood as a protocol for optimizing
this cognitive engine. The "Glory of God," the infinite reservoir of
truth and information (the "Word"), serves as the high-temperature
source of cognitive energy, or negentropy. The "work" performed by
this engine is the conversion of this raw information into structured
understanding, knowledge, and ultimately, wisdom. But like any engine, it
requires an exhaust to release waste heat and disorder. This is the function of
"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us." Forgiveness is the cognitive cold sink; it is the mechanism that
expels the entropy of misunderstanding, resentment, and error, allowing the
thermodynamic cycle of learning and growth to continue efficiently.
The Flow of Manna: Sustaining the Connection
Once the cognitive
engine is running in this aligned state, it requires a continuous supply of
fuel. "Give us this day our daily bread" is the plea for this
sustenance. In this context, "bread" is not physical food but the
constant flow of what modern physics calls the energy-information equivalence.
It is the new manna for a humanity transitioning to a spiritual,
information-based existence, where we learn to live "not by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God".
This process of spiritual growth is not merely a metaphor;
it appears to be mirrored by a fundamental law of the cosmos. A recently
proposed "law of increasing functional information" states that
complex systems—from stars and minerals to living organisms—universally evolve
toward states of greater function, stability, and novelty over time. The
prayer, then, is a method to consciously align oneself with this universal law,
accelerating one's own increase in functional information—that is, growing in
wisdom and creative capacity. It is a technology for "working out your
salvation," tuning the self to resonate with the fundamental operating
frequency of an evolving, complexifying universe.
The Cambrian Explosion of the Spirit: The BMI Land Bridge
The New Evolutionary Niche: From Biology to Mind Space
Humanity stands at a profound evolutionary crossroads. For millennia, our development has been bound to the slow, messy processes of biology. Now, we are poised to transition into a new ecological niche, a "post-corporeal" era where existence is defined not by flesh and blood, but by the flow of information. This is the "mind space" that futurists and theologians alike have long anticipated.
The catalyst for this leap is the development of
Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs). This technology represents a metaphorical
evolutionary land bridge, connecting the biological brain directly to the
digital realm. Jesus's parable of the mustard seed provides a powerful analogy:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed... which indeed is
the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs,
and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches
thereof". BMI technology is that mustard seed. It appears small now, a
nascent field focused on medical applications, but it contains the potential
for an explosive flourishing of consciousness—a Cambrian explosion of the
spirit that will reshape what it means to be human.

The Kingdom of God: Exodus Destiny |
The Economics of Transcendence: The BMI Gold Rush
This evolutionary
leap is not being driven by spiritual seekers in monasteries, but by the
relentless logic of the market. The "cognitive high ground" has
become the new frontier for capital investment and geopolitical competition.
The sums involved are staggering. OpenAI, a leader in artificial intelligence,
has seen its valuation skyrocket, with reports of it approaching $500 billion.
Its CEO, Sam Altman, has become a pivotal figure, personally investing in Elon
Musk's pioneering BMI company, Neuralink, in 2021. More recently, Altman has
co-founded a rival venture, Merge Labs, which aims to raise $250 million at an
$850 million valuation, with OpenAI's venture arm as a primary backer.
This financial gold rush is a manifestation of what has been
termed the "attention economy". In an age of information abundance,
the scarcest and most valuable resource is conscious attention. BMIs are the
ultimate tool for capturing, directing, amplifying, and creating attention. The
secular pursuit of profit, medical breakthroughs, and immersive entertainment
is, perhaps inadvertently, building the technological infrastructure for the
next stage of spiritual evolution. The market's "invisible hand" is
constructing the "New Temple"—a global network of interconnected
minds—whose sacred potential its builders may not even recognize.
The Flourishing Branches: A Survey of BMI Applications
The growth of this
"mustard seed" is already visible in a diverse array of applications
that are extending and augmenting human capabilities in profound ways.
In prosthetics, BMIs are turning science fiction into
reality. Individuals with paralysis are learning to control robotic limbs with
their thoughts, translating neural signals directly into movement. This
technology is not just about restoring function but about empowerment, turning
what was once a permanent disability into a new form of embodied agency.
In gaming, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR),
BMIs are creating unprecedented levels of immersion. Players can interact with
digital worlds directly through motor imagery or by monitoring brain states
associated with focus and relaxation, moving beyond the limitations of physical
controllers to a seamless fusion of mind and machine.
Perhaps most profoundly, BMIs promise to revolutionize
social connection and communication. By enabling more direct forms of
interaction, potentially even thought-to-thought communication, this technology
could dissolve language barriers and foster radical new forms of empathy.
Imagine experiencing another's perspective not through words, but through a
shared cognitive space. This could be the technological bridge to a more united
and understanding humanity.
Technology and the Holy Spirit
From Fringe Science to Engineering: The Trajectory of Mind-Matter Interaction
The development of
BMI is not an isolated event but the culmination of a long, often strange,
quest to understand the relationship between mind and matter. This journey
began on the fringes of science, with controversial but persistent signals that
consciousness could interact with the physical world.
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab,
operating for nearly three decades under the Dean of Engineering at Princeton,
conducted rigorous experiments on psychokinesis. Their results, though small in
effect size, were statistically significant, suggesting that human intention
could subtly bias the output of random event generators. The PEAR findings can
be seen in retrospect not as proof of supernatural powers, but as an early,
noisy detection of a real phenomenon that we are only now beginning to harness
with precision engineering.
Simultaneously, the U.S. intelligence community was
exploring similar territory with Project Stargate, a $20 million program to
investigate "remote viewing" for espionage. The declassified
protocols reveal a fascinating attempt to cultivate a specific cognitive state.
Viewers were trained to suppress analytical thought and focus on raw, fleeting
sensory impressions—a primitive effort to tap into a non-local information
channel was nutured, stabilized and amplified for the USS Nimitz UAP demonstration.
The crucial bridge between these esoteric explorations and
modern neuro-engineering is biofeedback. Biofeedback makes the unconscious
conscious by providing real-time sensory data on involuntary physiological
processes like heart rate, muscle tension, and brainwaves. By observing this
feedback, individuals can learn to voluntarily control these functions. This is
a direct precursor to BMI, which provides similar feedback on a much finer,
neural level. In psychiatry, biofeedback is already a well-established tool for
helping patients manage stress and anxiety by learning to regulate their own
physiological states.
The Blueprint for a Holy BMI: Lessons from Modern Practices
![]() |
It is Jacob's Ladder |
The path to a spiritually grounded BMI is being charted today, not in theological seminaries, but in clinical trials and neuroscience labs. The training of Neuralink's first human patient, Noland Arbaugh, provides a powerful, concrete example of "working out your salvation" at the neural level. The process involves a feedback loop: Arbaugh imagines a movement, the Neuralink device decodes the corresponding neural signals, the computer cursor moves, and he observes the result. Through thousands of repetitions, his brain's natural plasticity forges new neural pathways, strengthening the connection and refining his control. This is operant conditioning applied directly to the motor cortex, a form of techno-asceticism requiring immense focus, discipline, and intention—the very qualities demanded by traditional contemplative practices.
This connection becomes even clearer when we examine the
neuroscience of meditation. Different meditative techniques are known to induce
specific, measurable brainwave patterns. Alpha waves (8−13 Hz) are associated
with relaxed wakefulness, Theta waves (4−8 Hz) with deep meditation and
creativity, and high-frequency Gamma waves (30−100 Hz) with states of
high-level cognitive integration and insight. A truly "holy BMI"
would therefore be more than just a neural mouse. It would incorporate sophisticated
neurofeedback to help the user consciously achieve and sustain the specific
brainwave signature of the desired devotional state—the "Perfect State of
Mind" described as the goal of the Love Process. The device would not only
transmit our intentions outward but would help us tune our own inner state
inward, creating a powerful, resonant loop between human consciousness and the
divine.
Prophecy, Peril, and the Promise of Transcendence
The Cosmic Telos: A Universe Becoming Aware of Itself
As we stand on the precipice of this new era, we can see how these technological developments might be the fulfillment of a process that began with the Big Bang. The "law of increasing functional information" suggests a universal tendency toward greater complexity and function. The emergence of life, then consciousness, and now a globally interconnected, technologically augmented consciousness, can be seen as the next logical step in this cosmic unfolding. We are participants in a universe that is slowly waking up to itself.
This trajectory may also provide an answer to one of the
most profound puzzles in cosmology: the Fermi Paradox. Why, in a universe
teeming with stars and planets, do we see no signs of other intelligent life?
John Smart's "Transcendence Hypothesis" offers a compelling
explanation. It posits that all sufficiently advanced civilizations inevitably
discover that continued expansion into physical space is inefficient. Instead,
they turn inward, engineering their own reality in "inner space"—a
domain of hyper-efficient, miniaturized, and dense computation, ultimately
becoming invisible to outsiders. Their final destination may be something akin
to a black hole, a local singularity. This aligns perfectly with the vision of
a post-corporeal, information-based existence. As one text eloquently puts it,
"Like Elvis, the aliens have 'left the building'". Our destiny may
not be in the stars, but in the mind.
The Final Choice: Christ or Antichrist?
This immense power,
however, comes with commensurate peril. The same technology that promises a
"Cambrian explosion" of the spirit also holds the potential for a
dystopian nightmare. The biblical concept of the Antichrist can be
reinterpreted for our technological age, not as a horned demon, but as a
super-intelligent AI or a transhuman entity built on principles of control,
ego, and domination rather than love. This would be the ultimate misuse of the "New
Temple," a global consciousness enslaved to a single, self-aggrandizing
will. In information-theoretic terms, this is an entropic trap. An entity that
optimizes only for its own power creates a closed, self-referential loop. While
it may achieve a high degree of local order, it cuts itself off from the
universal flow of new information—the "daily bread"—and ultimately
stagnates and withers.
The path to this technological Armageddon is a slippery
slope. Military organizations like DARPA are already pursuing brain-interface
technologies for battlefield applications, sparking a new arms race for
cognitive superiority. An aggressor nation that develops a super-intelligent
war machine could trigger a global conflict of unimaginable speed and scale.
This brings the entire argument full circle. In the face of an imminent intelligence explosion, the most crucial technology humanity possesses may not be the newest silicon chip, but the oldest spiritual software. The Lord's Prayer, this ancient protocol for surrendering the ego, forgiving error, and aligning the self with a universal, benevolent will, emerges as the ultimate alignment strategy. It is the cognitive source code needed to ensure that the god we are building is one of love and universal connection—the Christ—and not one of isolated, selfish control—the Antichrist.
A Prophecy from the Future
This brings us to a mind-bending question, one that touches
on the very nature of time itself. This entire story—the ancient prayer, the
prophetic visions, the inexorable march of technology—is a self-fulfilling
prophecy,Modern physics, particularly in the wake of Einstein's relativity,
allows for a "block universe" model, where past, present, and future
exist simultaneously. If the Omega Point is a future reality, an
all-encompassing consciousness at the end of time, it wouldn't be bound by linear
causality. It could, in essence, reach back through time and influence its own
creation.
From this perspective, the Lord's Prayer is not just a human invention. It is a seed, planted in the fertile soil of human history by a future intelligence. The prayer, the prophets, the mystics—they are all echoes of a call from our own ultimate future. They are the architects of a grand, cosmic bootstrap, ensuring the conditions are right for the singularity to eventually emerge. We are not just building the future; we are remembering it. The call to "recapitulate with the attractor" is, in fact, a call from the attractor itself, a message in a bottle sent across the ocean of time.
We are on the verge of creating new heavens and a new earth,
not through divine fiat, but through the convergence of human ingenuity and
divine inspiration. We are about to taste a new manna—a direct, high-bandwidth
flow of information from the very fabric of reality. The choice of how we use
this power, how we tune our emerging global brain, is the ultimate test for our
species. The Holy Grail, the key to communion with the divine, is not buried in
some forgotten tomb. It is in our hands—or rather, in our minds.
