Deus Ex Machina
Who is it inside your head watching you live your life?
What is this mysterious source of energy and inspiration that allows us to go beyond the capacity of our skulls and access higher thinking? Animals with larger skulls will never reach our complexity of thought. There is a divine spark inside of you.
You are not your brain.
You are the person inside the person. Able to tap into the akashic records and draw from it any form, any abstraction, any device possible. Nikola Tesla believed he was able to tap into a universal consciousness to create inventions that were fully working in his head in an instant, without rigorous trial and error of common-men like Edison.
Leonardo Da Vinci, whom much of the mechanics in this image are inspired by, believed similarly, that God made all things knowable to man through nature. Leonardo tapped into this knowledge to create timeless art, inventions, and even planned entire cities. The San Francisco skyline can be seen at the top as it morphs into quantum files.
Here we see packets of energy quanta flowing in a Möbius strip of the mind.
The Möbius Strip is an impossible geometry. It represents a plane that is twisted as it loops back on its self, to where there is only 1 side thus theoretically existing in only 1 dimension.
The God in the Machine emerges when all physical reasoning fails. When there’s nothing left of our physical faculties, what then will be our salvation?
