I am the universe observing itself, because my consciousness was in this sea of white scintillating light that was coming out of me.

You know, I am both the source and the observer of this thing.

What I am is love, joy and peace, which is, you know, wow.

I thought I was a human being, a machine, which is not true.

I mean, you know, ourselves are quantum and classical.

I'm a field. I'm not the body.

The self is much vaster than the ego, which is what we normally think we are.

When we awake, like in my first awakening experience that I described earlier, once you

make a connection with your vaster self, then, you know, the information exchange between the

ego and the vaster self increases dramatically and it comes in the form of, you know, other extraordinary experience of consciousness,

in more intuitions, and so on.

What happens when one of the greatest technological minds of the 20th century, the inventor of the microprocessor itself,

has a mystical experience so profound that it shatters his belief in material reality?

While one night in 1990, Federico Fijin, a physicist engineer in Silicon Valley Pioneer,

experienced something just that life-altering.

He found himself bathed in a mystical light that seemed to dissolve the boundary between self and cosmos.

And in that moment, he intuitively deep down knew something that all of his technical knowledge had never taught him, that he was not his body.

That consciousness is not a product of the brain, it is the very ground of reality.

And since then, Fijin has been obsessed with not building faster computers, but exploring the very architecture of reality. And since then, Fijin has been obsessed with not building faster computers,

but exploring the very architecture of consciousness and reality itself. He's developed a philosophical

model in which each of us is not a biological machine, but what he calls a seity, a sovereign

spark of the one, evolving through meaning, creativity, and direct knowing.
