Shimmers of LightINSTITUTE
A place to explore the big questions—consciousness, meaning, and the wisdom we've inherited from the past.
Here's What We're Up Against
You've probably felt it too. There's no good place to actually investigate the big questions about reality, existence, and what it all means.
Science Plays It Safe
Science began as a rebellion against dogma, but it has become one itself. We know you feel it. Consciousness gets dismissed as an illusion. The observer effect gets explained away. Archaeological findings get shelved because they don't fit the funding model. This is a betrayal of the spirit of inquiry. We are speaking to the scientist in you. The one who knows the Hard Problem is still hard. It's time to stop ignoring the data that doesn't fit. It's time to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it leads us beyond the material world.
Faith Without Foundation
Many of us believe in a creative force—call it God, Source, or Intelligence—but we want that belief to be grounded in understanding. Faith has fragmented into thousands of denominations, often asking us to check our logic at the door and simply accept their interpretation. Many institutions actively oppose investigation and scientific inquiry, viewing questions as a lack of faith. We are seeking a path where our spiritual intuition is supported by academic rigor—a faith that honors the mind as much as the soul. True faith has nothing to fear from facts.
The Lost Translation
Even if we could read the original translations (most of us can't), we still wouldn't understand what we were reading. We know many of these texts were written in layers: surface stories for the masses, hidden teachings for initiates. Origen said Scripture has a "threefold sense." Kabbalah teaches PaRDeS (four levels). Sufism distinguishes Batin (hidden) from Zahir (apparent). Every tradition has an esoteric core most believers have never heard of. How do we access these deeper teachings in their purest form?
A Place to Investigate
We posit that the "myths" of the ancients were actually sophisticated encodings of knowledge—written in the language of symbol and analogy to survive the ages.
This knowledge has been hidden or suppressed for centuries. But the time has come to make it plain.
We are gathering the authentic works of the sages and visionaries who dedicated their lives to these mysteries—presenting them in their own words, without the filter. As modern physics and neuroscience begin to sound more and more like these ancient texts, we're asking the obvious question: What else did they get right?

Some Questions Worth Investigating
Here are a few of the bigger patterns we're exploring together.
Maybe History Isn't Linear
Look at Göbekli Tepe—it's 11,600 years old and astronomically aligned. It was built by people who "shouldn't" have had mathematics that precise.
What if history isn't a straight line of dumb cavemen slowly getting smarter? What if it's a cycle? What if the "myths" are actually memories of something real that came before?
Science is Catching Up
The convergences are too specific to be coincidences.
- Vibration: Ancient texts declared "Everything is vibration" (Nada Brahma) thousands of years before String Theory.
- The Observer: Hermeticism taught "The Universe is Mental" long before the Double Slit Experiment revealed the observer effect.
- Interconnection: The "Web of Indra" described quantum entanglement and non-locality centuries ago.
We aren't inventing these connections. We're just finally taking them seriously.
Evidence First, Faith Second
We're not against faith. We're against blind faith. Faith should only come in when you've run out of evidence to look at—not as a replacement for looking. Our goal is to gather the evidence first, so you can make up your own mind.
