In 2022, a series of UFO sightings forced me to re-evaluate almost everything I thought I knew about reality.

I was a logical, materialist, atheist software engineer. I liked systems, measurable evidence, and rule-based explanations. Then things started happening that did not fit the model. Far, far beyond just UFO sightings.

This series is the result of my obsessive, person investigation into the nature of reality, and the very, very unexpected results of my work of these past years. 

I've been trying to answer the kinds of questions no one actually expects answers to.

Are we alone?
Who and what am I, and why am I here?
Do we die?
What is consciousness?
How does reality actually work?

Then, to my complete shock, I started getting replies. Very, very clear replies that paint a picture of how reality works that I was completely unprepared for, and was far, far better than I could have ever imagined. This is everything I've learned so far.

We will show you what I've learned, what I believe, and how I got to that belief so that you can decide what it means for yourself. Most importantly, I'll share everything I can about how to repeat and validate these ideas on your own. If any of this is true, it should be directly exploreable.

Note: the experiences in this series are real. They happened. These concepts are profound, but may also be profoundly unsettling. If you are not in a stable mental or emotional place, please do not embark on this journey until you are. Seriously. You’d think it’d be fun to actually learn how everything works – and it is – but it’s also destabilizing. You have been lovingly warned.]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/36feb9d0-2459-447e-9f59-ea07f5f574b8/computer-person-Reality-101-abstract-art-podcast-show-cover-1f7.png</url><title>Reality 101</title><link><![CDATA[https://reality101.show]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/36feb9d0-2459-447e-9f59-ea07f5f574b8/computer-person-Reality-101-abstract-art-podcast-show-cover-1f7.png"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Steven Schrembeck</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Steven Schrembeck</itunes:author><description>Reality 101 is a journal of impossible experiences from first-hand explorations into the nature of reality, what it means for all of us, and how you can experience it yourself.
