This life, this universe, the whole thing, is a lot like being inside a video game.

In a video game, the character you move around, the avatar, is made out of the same material as everything else in the game. It is all pixels. The air is made of pixels. The ground is made of pixels. Every object on the map is made of the same stuff.

In the same way, we are beings inside a universe that is made out of the universe itself. Everything is the same substance, expressing itself in different forms. The universe is simply being the universe, and it is doing so perfectly.

When you are playing a video game, you cannot really mess it up. The worst thing that happens is that the character dies. But that is not what you truly are. You are not the character. You are the soul behind the character.

It is like the soul of the entire video game. Every aspect of the game, every part of the universe, is participating in the same process. It is evolving.

This evolution is always in alignment with natural law. You could say it is evolving perfectly in alignment with natural law, or you could say it is evolving horribly in alignment with natural law. Either way, it could not be unfolding differently. It is all playing out exactly as it does.

If I had been born as any other character in this game, I would still share the same soul and the same fundamental motivating force. But my internal conditions, like my DNA, along with the environment I grew up in and everything that happened to me, would shape me into a different character.

All the different people we see walking down the street are expressions of the same soul, shaped by different circumstances.

We tend to identify with the character we are playing. But in truth, we are the entire game.

There is only one of us.

The We Are The Universe Podcast: One part of this project is a podcast exploring the unique experience of being human.

Each guest shares a meaningful moment or period in their life — especially experiences that shifted how they understood themselves or the world.

These might include:

No one else on Earth has lived your exact experience.

Yet when we share our stories, we often discover how deeply connected those experiences actually are.

Guests tell their story, I ask questions, and together we explore what the experience meant.

If you’ve had a moment or experience that changed how you see yourself, the world, or life itself, you’re warmly invited to share it.
