15. EPILOGUE
I am not a mathematician, nor a physicist, nor an academic. I am a journalist, a media engineer, and a lifelong free thinker — and that is exactly what was required.
Although I worked for a brief period in popular science journalism, was intensely involved with electronics from the age of eleven, and remain a lifelong technical enthusiast, I am rather hazy when it comes to mathematics. But once I actually see the equations and have them explained to me, things become clear.
So it is for me with the Horizon Equation. I understand every single term, every single phase — but not as a mathematician or physicist understands it. I almost feel the equation in my body — as “absolute knowing”. I have myself justified the ontological role of the various numbers and terms, and how they “work”. And there have been countless situations in which my “retrieval of insights” and my contemplation have been decisive. Without this “direct access to insight”, the Horizon Equation would not exist.
So now I have done my part of this job. The work is hereby handed over to researchers and geniuses of every kind. Get to grips with the entire construction, the arguments behind it, and the formalism that two AI agents (with my CREATED instructions) have helped me with, to put it mildly.
I make no attempt to develop this further into QED, cosmology, systems dynamics, linguistics, the social sciences, political and economic theory, conservation and resource management, risk assessment, psychology, pedagogy, culture, media, advertising, photon-based computing, and so on and so forth.
Here, anyone is free to help themselves. What does the Horizon Equation have to say for your field and your position? What becomes of “everything” in your life once I have given you four entirely new pieces of information?
1. The world is inverted
The causal direction runs from the abstract to the manifest. Today we believe it is the opposite. And this applies to absolutely everything in the entire universe. This means that your thoughts and what you know within yourself are what create the reality you experience. Your focus turns towards your inner KNOWING and your ego-interpretations of what you perceive in the outer world. The conceptions you continuously form are manifested through the Experience Circle/Horizon Equation and become the world you experience around and within you. This experience is “reality”. There exists, then, no outer, objective world — everything in fact takes place in an abstract domain of KNOWING and thought, in consciousness. With this book, thought has discovered itself.
2. Everything grows forth of itself
This happens through Idealist Emergence, or thought — or KNOWING, which is the ontological substance, while here in the material world it is called information/knowledge. What you believe in becomes material — but through mechanisms we have not understood until now.
But there is one more thing: it happens deterministically. You have no real choices. Your focus is drawn towards whatever is most “true” in the moment. The strongest idea wins — every time. This is why it is critically important to “think rightly”. Thoughts and ideas shape the world. Not metaphorically. Directly. And one thing leads to the next. The Emergence Circle simply goes on and on. The outcome of one experience forms the basis for the next. This is an absolute law, and the Horizon Equation is the mathematical expression of this law. The law of necessity.
3. Everything affects everything through Attractor Dynamics
The universe and all its “content” — both abstract and manifest — arises and develops through the Mechanism, which has been presented to you in 132 points in this book. There are two concrete functions, both of which spring directly from ES/HE: what I call Idealist Emergence and Attractor Dynamics.
Everything acts upon everything. Ideas grow forth and clump together into collective representations. They form a topological landscape. Everything exists within this landscape. The Horizon Equation describes how the outcome of this dynamic is “screwed into reality”. It is a rotational movement that goes back and forth between the electric and magnetic components of the electromagnetic signal — an alternation between the abstract and the material. The photon, which exists outside time as a “wave”, and within time as a “particle”.
This is what I call the “emergence engine”. It drives the world. The life force. The will. Destiny. And so forth. And Attractor Dynamics is nature’s brutal and beautiful game.
4. There exists a horizon between the abstract and the material, through which everything continuously passes
The fourth point, which for most people is of considerable significance, is that a horizon has two sides. There exists something behind the world we experience. Something “above”, “higher”, eternal. There, no “errors” exist. Only pure love, for love is identical with KNOWING. What we know and recognise, we love. Beyond the horizon there is no fear, for everything is known.
We pass back and forth through this horizon continuously. Every single photon we believe strikes the eye (you create it yourself) “comes” from on high, “crashes” into something material through the “horizon screw”, creates qualia and suffering — and returns through an “observation”, a point of focus — which is what you are.
The choice between ego and truth
You are an infinitely fast, eternal point of focus that feels like “you” — and that darts around in this ocean of KNOWING, dipping your nose into trouble wherever Attractor Dynamics leads you, like a truffle hound in Piedmont. Right now you are dissociated into a conception of a human being who imagines, and who therefore experiences being itself — in material form, for a “self-observation” is taking place, a self-mirroring. This creates the ego you believe to be you.
You are a feedback loop that will not let go. You have built a “conditioning cage” around yourself to keep yourself safe. You are afraid. Without reason. That is what the Horizon Equation shows. There is nothing to fear. And you need do nothing. Let yourself flow along and enjoy the journey. Attractor Dynamics and emergence take care of you. You are here to experience precisely what you are experiencing. Enjoy it, even should it be pain. It will pass. It will be well. Suffering is a necessary part of the dynamic. So too are happiness and ecstasy. Take everything as it is.
And now comes the critical choice. You yourself can decide whether you wish to pursue your own “small” ego-thoughts and prejudices (yes, the ego pre-judges) — or the underlying, single truth that is KNOWING. How? By stilling the ego. Listening inward. Seeing without reacting. Non-action.
Try it. Do not react. Wait. See what happens. Think twice. Try to see things from a higher perspective. “When they go low, we go high” is an expression among Black Americans, and surely in many other places too. It is how they have defended themselves for centuries against the injustice inflicted upon them.
You too are subject to injustice — from your own ego and that of society. It is time to break free and set yourself and others free. Stop accepting everything you see and experience of injustice and abuse. Freedom requires only that you change your mindset and listen inward. It requires courage. The thoughts of every single human being count. Stop them with thoughts grounded in love rather than fear. This simply is how a total transformation of the world and our societies can take place: follow love. Let it through.
The way home
One day you “re-associate” back through the horizon (the tunnel in NDEs) and are once again free, on “the mountain top” (Martin Luther King), on “the other side” (The Doors). You see everything, know everything, recognise everything, love everything. Every identity you ever knew is there. Everything you ever did and experienced is there. You are there. We are one — truly.
It is so thoroughly, wonderfully good that you unhesitatingly take another round of “boots in the mud” — one more life, just to know how exactly that feels. For on high, no one weeps. No one feels heartache. No fear, because everything is known. We came here for that alone, in fact: to experience process, weight and trials in every form. For experienced “weight” is created by the horizon mechanism.
Behind the horizon there is only KNOWING. It stands there in plain mathematical text.
This is why we carry within us a deep longing for home. A pull towards coming home to… mother, THE SOURCE, our state in and of KNOWING. In love and peace. Intoxication is one path there. Sex another. But these are outer manifestations. The origin lies within.
It is complex. One spends a lifetime learning to be oneself and arriving at clarity. This, precisely, is what we call an “awakening”, and it happens sooner or later. Not necessarily in this life, but through a series of many reincarnations.
The human condition
As I have said, I shall not pursue this further academically — for I have no discipline to defend. The equation is generic and covers every type of phase transition and horizon, so where would I even begin?
But yes. There is more to come.
I shall leave the academic disciplines be, and focus instead on our own experience. Our blind spots, our backwards understandings, our concealments, fears, rankings, pulls, struggles, fixations, traumas, griefs — and, on the other side, our capacities, talents, needs, expressions, intelligence, warmth, humour, love, greatness, intimacy, creativity and happiness!
All of this can be described by the Horizon Equation. It states that every smallest and greatest event occurs in the opposite direction from what you believe — not in time, but in cause and effect.
Imagine this: we believe the pill is the cause and the reduction in headache is the effect. It is the reverse. You believe in the effect, and that is why it works. The placebo effect is not the exception to how medicine works — it is the mechanism itself. The effect is real. But its origin is from within, not from without. We already have the term psychosomatic. It is truer than most people understand.
So it is with everything. What we believe in, we experience. Not what we consciously know we “believe”, for we deceive ourselves into believing all manner of things. That is an outer belief; an ego-belief. Unfortunately, religions, politics, families, society as a whole, and practically everything human, are based on the conceptions of the individual ego and collective accumulations of ego-thoughts. Not the truth behind them. Not “the natural”.
There exists an inner — not belief, but KNOWING. Our inner KNOWING is what creates the experience. What is manifested. Not whatever might happen externally. We manage our own experience, but we move in flocks and fall into line, so that we do not “maximise” the experience. We do not live fully and authentically.
Scientists and most people will scream in protest, but such is how it is. Science has an enormous amount to defend. Millions of jobs, academic traditions that have grown over hundreds of years, the very foundation of our entire understanding of the world, is “under attack” with this book. That is how they will respond, all those who have something to defend.
I, and all who think as I do — now with full backing in physical theory and practically proven mathematics — will be regarded as heretics. There will come a battle over who and what shall define reality. This battle, the established order is bound to lose. But completing a paradigm shift can easily take a couple of hundred years. We now stand at the beginning. It is already well underway. The Horizon Equation is a decisive piece in this transformation.
This is what I wish to write about going forward. I want to show how we must concretely relate to this new knowledge. It will be a tough story to take in, for the individual too.
Our inner guide
Feelings, not thoughts, are the direct expression of how you are and what you KNOW. They are a language. You simply do not speak it, do not understand it. Feelings are your feeling-antennae. Use them. They are AWARENESS itself, what you are. For you experience qualia first — the thoughts come afterwards.
Such things I intend to write about in a next book. Its tentative title is: “The Human Condition”. And it will take time to write, should the spirit not come over me again.
I conclude here.
Thank you for your focus.
And good luck on the journey ahead.
We shall surely meet again.
In love, peace, freedom and happiness,

Greatest of all is love.
The Mechanism shows it.
