Floaters, Tunnels, and the Hidden Teacher | T-18D
Be me, years ago in University.
Sitting alone in the most ordinary place imaginable: a bathroom.
I’d been obsessing over how to merge the natural interest theory with relativity into one unified idea.
Out of nowhere a wave of light slams into me.
Instant tears, overwhelming presence.
Felt like they compressed everything into one single download and handed it to me at once.
Since then, the rest of my life has been the slow unpacking of that moment.
Now I see it everywhere:
– floaters and flashes when writing deep Operation Tempus posts
– sparks in the corners of dark rooms, like fairy-lights or astral markers
– tunnels of geometry in lucid dreams, replaying crop circles at insane speed
– conversations with a second self, a hidden teacher within
Maybe the lights are just “eye floaters.”
Or maybe they’re the residue of transmissions, the subtle version of Cixin’s sophons projecting realities into our vision.
For me it all started with that one wave of light. The initial download.
Everything since has just been the decoding.
