SPEEDRUNNING THE SPACETIME CONTINUUM

[terminology]
speedrunning is the skill of completing a video game, or part of it, in the shortest time possible. players learn specific routes and combination moves that exploit sequence breaks, portals, and glitches, allowing them to skip or speed through sections more quickly than originally intended
spacetime is the universe. technically, it’s a four-dimensional framework where time and space intersect to create the immersive environment we call reality. operationally, it’s an experiential platform where non-local conscious agents can interact via bio-technological avatars
speedrunning spacetime is a jailbreak. a player’s guide to bypassing the default settings of our avatarial bio-technology to access hidden levels of experience and transformation
[notes]
This book has been conceived as a composite: part memoir, part field manual, part metaphysical treatise.
Inspirationally, think Hunter S. Thompson meets Philip K. Dick meets Buckminster Fuller.
The book is structured in three interwoven components:
- player’s log: autobiographical dispatches from the prodigal son of steel magnates who’s exploits at the bleeding edge of insurgent media, futurist tech, and finally, applied esoterica led to the inception of a (r)evolutionary vision for paradigm shift
- player’s manual: applied techniques based on first-person experiential experimentation for navigating and hacking the hidden mechanics of reality
- spacetime two point zero: (modeled on Tolstoy’s postscript treatise in War and Peace) this treatise and model for a post-materialist understanding of the universe comes at the end of the book.
At its core, Speedrunning the Spacetime Continuum is a tactical document that instructs its readers on how to escape the programming of consensus reality. One which conditions humans from birth to believe that reality — or more technically, spacetime — is enclosed and unchangeable.
We are taught to navigate reality, not author it.
This book directly challenges that from a (r)evolutionary techno-mystical perspective.
The concept of “jailbreaking” is central to the work. Borrowed from tech culture, the term originally referred to hacking a mobile device to bypass manufacturer-imposed limitations. When applied to the human bio-technologicall avatar, ‘jailbreaking’ means hacking our neural operating system to access unauthorized functions of consciousness and perception.
And yes — it sounds like The Matrix. That’s because it kind of is.
I understand this will sound unhinged to most. But after three decades of carte blanche entrepreneurial activism across 60-plus countries — which gave me near-limitless agency to learn, test, and apply theories of change across the fields of digital journalism, liberationist tech, and radical experiential research — this is the most potentialized revolutionary protocol I have encountered. And it did not come from philosophical navel-gazing or hero-dosing psychedelics.
No.
It emerged through direct interactions with a terrestrial system intelligence that cannot be conceived, nor even imagined, by the leaders of traditional and outlier [r]evolutionary movements because of their own highly conditioned and self-imposed gating to the true nature of reality.
Even the most committed radical activists are infected by the same malware as their establishment ‘opponents’, A poison pill that lies at the core of their perceptual systems, rendering them useless to alter the apocalyptic trajectory of our species.
I know, because these are my people. And in the historical context, they are just as much of the problem as the 1%.
We’ve hit a wall. Consensus reality is breaking. The political, ecological, and epistemic systems we relied on are in their terminal stage. The only question is: At what point are we going to admit current theories (and applications) of change are only yielding diminishing returns?
And what process of objective enquiry will lead us to the conclusion that this has less do with the ills of a system or the vast resources of our opponents and everything to do with an outdated and misperceived model of reality?
What we need now is not reform, but jailbreak. That starts by recognizing the true nature of the terrain: Spacetime is not the primary engine of reality — it’s the user interface. Which means:
- Reality is programmable
- The program is learnable
- The code is accessible… but only to those willing to induct themselves in the cognitive and experiential adventure of exiting spacetime’s default OS
Unlike the manifestation frameworks of The Secret and Supernatural, the hacks in this book aren’t just about belief, visualization, or frequency matching. Those works offer curated testimonials and emotionally persuasive methods — poetic narratives of transformation delivered as technique. But their models often bypass the most volatile and essential layer of the process: the dismantling of the self that precedes any meaningful rewrite.
Writing a check to yourself, visualizing an outcome, entering altered states — none of it sticks without re-formatting the root code. Intention alone doesn’t rewrite reality. Before any genuine act of self-regeneration can occur, a massive depatterning must unfold — energetic, neurological, mythic. That process is not clean or linear. It is tragic. It is initiatory. It is, in every sense, a jailbreak. Speedrunning is a record of how I inadvertently burned the original programming and made it back with a new operating system.
I say all of this because Speedrunning will require a publisher with a level of self-awareness — if not the curiosity and adventurism to want to try it for themselves — to understand that this is not a ‘spiritual’ book. It is a guerrilla manual for quantum insurrectionists who are going to be the last hope for us if we are going to crack a portal out of this disaster simulation.

A final note on graphic design:
This book has been conceived as an object of experience — part annotated field manual, part post-reality scrapbook. Marginalia, hand-drawn diagrams, symbol keys, player notes, and visual cues are woven throughout the text. They reflect the terrain being mapped: nonlinear, fractal, recursive. I’ve always used design to smuggle difficult or even dangerous ideas past the sensors of consensus. From Channel Zero, to GNN, to ORA, high-concept aesthetics have been my Trojan horse. Speedrunning the Spacetime Continuum continues this legacy, deploying layout, typography, and visual codes to support a second-layer reading of the material.
Here are some works that share overlapping DNA with Speedrunning the Spacetime Continuum:

- Cosmic Trigger (Robert Anton Wilson)
- The Sirian Experiments (Doris Lessing)
- Notebooks of Paul Brunton (Paul Brunton)
- VALIS (Philip K. Dick)
- Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (Buckminster Fuller)
- The Red Book (Carl Jung)
- Codex Seraphinianus (Luigi Serafini)
