In 2022, a series of UFO sightings forced me to re-evaluate almost everything I thought I knew about reality.
I had been a logical, materialist software engineer. I liked systems, evidence, clean explanations. Then things started happening that did not fit the model.
So I did what I know how to do: I researched, trained, tested, journaled, doubted myself, and kept going.
I was trying to answer the questions almost no one actually expects answers to.
Are we alone?
Why am I here?
Do we die?
What is consciousness?
How does reality actually work?
Then, to my complete shock, I started getting replies.
Reality 101 is a journal of those impossible experiences: what happened, what I think they mean, and how you can begin exploring this for yourself.
