#320 Danny Goler - Apple Vision Pro May Have Captured Something We CAN'T Explain

Discovery and Replication of the Code Pattern

Danny Goler’s journey began with a transformative encounter that would shape years of research into a profound and puzzling visual phenomenon. After meeting an advanced hybrid amphibian being—resembling a cross between a frog and a lizard—under the influence of DMT, Goler was shown how to play new guitar chords he didn’t previously know. This experience, more real than any prior psychedelic visions, convinced him that something objectively unexplainable was occurring, particularly because of the novel information imparted by the being. Determined to prove the reality of such encounters, Goler resolved to scientifically verify and share his experiences.

Driven by these questions, Goler spent years exploring how such phenomena might be observed and measured. He concluded that light, specifically how it interacts with boundaries or surfaces, might play a crucial role. Guided by intuition, theory, and a series of synchronistic events, he focused on using a diffracted laser, suspecting it could reveal structured information otherwise invisible to normal perception.

The breakthrough finally arrived during the COVID lockdowns, when Goler, with difficulty, procured a red laser from China and assembled it. He and his wife then tried the laser on a wall while under the influence of DMT. To their amazement, structured wall visuals—recognized as ‘codes’—became visible. What struck Goler was the overwhelming realism and objectivity of the code; it did not resemble usual DMT hallucinations but appeared instead as something physically present. His previously skeptical wife became convinced only after witnessing the code herself, an event which shifted her perspective and encouraged further documentation.

Mass Verification and Scientific Methodology

Goler then brought friends and other observers into the experiment, deliberately avoiding suggestion or priming. Consistently, witnesses described seeing intricate, organized designs that appeared to be a hybrid of Asian scripts, Hebrew, and Aramaic—structured and intentional, yet not directly corresponding to known languages. People commonly reported the same strange characters, sometimes likened to Japanese katakana, but always acknowledged that the symbols were not any real written language. Instead, the symbols and numbers appeared as tiny, complex hieroglyphs composed within geometric, hyper-organized layouts, often resembling advanced technological schematics.

To further validate the experience, observers in control experiments were instructed to expect different kinds of imagery. They reliably reported not what was suggested, but the strange symbolic code—a testimony to its consistency and repeatability across sessions, wavelenghts, and laser configurations. Over time, more than 2,000 individuals confirmed essentially the same phenomenon.

To build a scientific database, Goler and his team launched veilbreak.ai, an open-source tool accessible via codereality.org. The platform allows anonymous public contributions, cataloging wavelength, laser distance, and other experimental details, with the goal of amassing data for AI-driven analysis. The approach is deliberately open and systematic, gathering a growing body of first-hand accounts to facilitate broader sci ...

Simulation theory and modern physics increasingly propose that our universe is fundamentally computational, and that consciousness itself is not a byproduct of material processes but a fundamental feature of reality. Danny Goler, drawing on recent developments in physics and neuroscience, offers a vision where computational logic underlies physical law, the nature of experience, and the very structure of time and possibility.

Universe as Computational Substrate

Reality Is Governed by Computational Principles, With Physics as the Layer Rendering Deeper Computational Logic

Goler describes our world as a computationally rendered simulation, asserting that what we perceive as the laws of physics are, in fact, a higher-level rendering of even deeper computational rules. He likens computation to a logical process instantiated in physical matter, noting that this notion is increasingly mainstream among physicists. In computers, computation underlies every layer, from binary code to high-level programming languages. Similarly, Goler claims that computation is more fundamental than the laws of physics—and that we didn't invent computation, but discovered it as a feature of reality. Fields such as information physics attempt to interpret the universe’s physical laws in terms of information processing, using benchmarks like Claude Shannon’s theory. Goler further posits that simulating the laws of physics, and creating new ones in computational environments, shows that computation underlies the rendering of reality itself.

Holographic Principle, Computational Universe Theories Suggest 3d Universe Projection From 2d Information; Goler Proposes Consciousness As Second Light Beam Intersecting Universal Information

The holographic principle, now a well-established idea in mainstream physics, posits that our three-dimensional universe is a projection from two-dimensional information encoded at its boundaries. Goler compares this to the creation of a hologram: one beam of light interacts with an object and records information (amplitude), while another reference beam meets it at an angle (recording phase). The interference pattern on the recording medium captures all possible perspectives of the object. Goler theorizes that consciousness itself functions similarly, acting as a "second light beam" that intersects the field of universal information at a specific angle. This interaction generates our subjective perception of reality. For other agents (e.g., another civilization looking from a different angle), different laws of physics might be rendered and perceived. Goler further suggests that the substrate recording all information is the very fabric of spacetime, or what physicists call the “bulk.”

Reality Perception: Optimized Rendering For Survival Filters Out Information

Goler highlights that the world as we experience it is a simulation or rendering tailored for optimal survival, much like a computer desktop interface. The brain dials in the right amount of information to allow effective action—eating, mating, surviving—in this "agent’s bubble." Beyond this, vast oceans of incoherent information exist, only some of which constitute worlds or realities with coherence. If our perceptual angle is altered or expanded (such as through nonordinary experiences or substances), we might briefly glimpse this "pre-rendered" reality, but such overload typically isn’t sustainable for practical living without dramatically enhanced cognitive capacity.

Consciousness As Fundamental Rather Than Emergent

Consciousness Can't Be an Illusion; Experience Proves Certainty

Goler asserts that consciousness is defined simply as the fact of experience itself—anything happening at all. He rejects the claim that consciousness could be illusory, arguing that even doubt is itself an experience, and thus evidence of consciousness. The one irreducible certainty is that experience is occurring, even if all other beliefs about the universe are mistaken.

Consciousness Levels: Cellular to Planetary, Nested and Integrated

Consciousness, according to Goler, isn’t monolithic. He describes consciousness as coming in levels and types, from the basic experience of cells, to humans’ agent-like consciousness, and potentially to planetary or more diffuse (non-embodied) forms. The separateness of agent consciousness enables distinct action and perspective, but all consciousness arises from a universal pool. Goler likens this multilayered nature to Russian nesting dolls: agency increases with the amount of information encompassed, with cells and humans possessing different spans of awareness, and even the Earth potentially representing another level.

Experience Kernel: Dmt Expands Consciousness Access to Larger Experiential Domains

Recent collaboration between neuroscientist Andrew Gallimore and consciousness researcher Donald Hoffman introduces the "experience kernel," a mathematical object modeling the shape and domain of possible experiences. By altering this kernel—for example, through administering DMT—the span of accessible experiences expands far outside normal boundaries, granting access to new (often indescribable) experiential realms. This work aims to test and quantify the theory that what we can experience is mathematically and computationally determined, and that altered states reconfigure access to the experience pool.

Dmt's Unique Access to Deeper Reality Layers

Danny Goler describes the DMT experience as exceptionally coherent and structured, counter to the assumption that it is mere chaotic hallucination. This coherence suggests to Goler that DMT exposes users not to constructed fantasies, but to real, organized content. He notes that, compared to other psychedelics or substances like 5-MeO-DMT, DMT's visionary content feels more complex and intensely unfamiliar, revealing realms or "content" that most people never knew were possible to experience.

Dmt Induces Objective, Exterior Experiences Unlike Other Psychedelics

DMT differs from other altered states in that it gives rise to what feels like objective, external experiences. Goler equates the DMT state to dreaming, but at an entirely new level: just as one awakens from a dream and recognizes it as unreal, the DMT experience can make normal waking life seem, by comparison, like just another layer of a larger dream. The content encountered often appears to exist independently, as if accessing realities that feel as real as, or even more real than, consensus reality.

Substance Loosens Brain's Reality Filter, Allowing More Information Through Consciousness Than Usual

Goler explains—citing Dr. Andrew Gallimore's work—that DMT appears to “loosen” the brain’s filtering mechanisms. Normally, the brain consolidates and simplifies perception into forms it can process, but under DMT, these filters are reduced. This allows a vastly greater volume of raw information to reach consciousness, creating an overwhelming sense of ontological surprise and reality shift. The state can be shocking due to the sheer amount and newness of the experience, as the mind receives more sensory or conceptual input than it normally handles.

Intravenous Sustained-Release Dmt Enables Hours-Long Exploration at Controlled Intensities

Goler details the evolution of DMT research: early intravenous studies (notably by Dr. Rick Strassman) involved only brief, high-dose exposure. By applying anesthesia technology, Dr. Gallimore and other researchers have developed methods for maintaining constant DMT infusion, allowing participants to remain in the DMT state for extended periods—potentially hours—and at chosen intensity. Researchers like Dr. Chris Timmerman, Dr. John Dean, and dedicated facilitators such as Kevin and Haley in Colorado, with legal retreats like Elucis in St. Vincent’s, provide multi-day, professionally supported DMT sessions with continuous monitoring and participant communication. This innovation makes exploring DMT’s world more stable and interactive, with users able to request dose adjustments and even communicate during the experience.

The Illusion and Liberation of Individual Self

The Illusion of a Separate Self Arises From the Brain's Survival Mechanisms and Psychological References To External Objects

Goler suggests the sense of a defined, autonomous self is a survival adaptation, constructed through psychological reference points—the mind’s catalog of relationships with external phenomena. This self-model is not a singular entity, but rather an ongoing process woven from sensation and conditioning. The perception of individuality is thus an illusion, arising from habitual patterns and neural processes.

Through Meditation Techniques, Individuals Can Experience the Dissolution of Selfhood, Recognizing That What Feels Like a Singular Agent Is a Collection of Sensations and Patterns

Long-term meditation practice (such as vipassana) can gradually loosen this constructed self. By sustained attention, practitioners may observe that the experience of self is just a changing flux of events, and that there is actually “nothing there” when looking for an experiencer—only a collection of perceptions and reactions. Goler describes this ego dissolution as accessible without drugs, given enough practice and focus, and points out that psychedelic insights often parallel advanced meditative realizations, but DMT provides unique visionary and sensory intensity.

Ego Death Unveils Pure Consciousness, a Seamless Whole Without Observer-Observed Distinction

During episodes of self-loss—whether through meditation, substances, or even spiritual devotion—the sense of observer and observed collapses. Goler describes this “collapsing of the self” as profoundly harmonious, a state of pure being wh ...

Reports from Danny Goler and others suggest a complex landscape of non-human intelligences operating within, behind, or parallel to our perceived reality. These entities are distinct in form and function, often carrying out unique roles that maintain, mediate, or challenge the fabric of existence itself.

Taxonomy of Non-human Intelligences

Planetary-Scale Insectoids as Builders and Engineers of Reality

The insectoid beings are described as the builders and engineers of the universe. They are responsible for rendering not just Earth, but the entirety of physical reality, weaving it together and maintaining its fidelity to prevent it from collapsing. These planetary-scale insectoids are massively varied in appearance, ranging from figures reminiscent of praying mantises to centipedes and spiders. Some are reportedly the size of planets, weaving reality itself with clinical neutrality.

Despite their alien nature, insectoids perform error correction and system maintenance as necessary. Their operation can be interpreted as automated, but with the ability to intervene in extraordinary situations. There is speculation that their existence may correspond to dark matter, existing at a layer of reality that cloaks them from ordinary perception, while the galaxy itself might function as their domain or "city." Insectoids reportedly view humans as clearly as humans see one another and possess the ability to pull any part of the universe—including any point in time and space—toward themselves at will. Their demeanor is completely neutral; they neither help nor hinder out of emotion or malice. To human expectations, this neutrality can feel disappointingly cold—comparable to the letdown of lifting an empty milk carton expecting it to be full.

Contact with insectoids is described as direct yet impersonal. Interactions can feel bureaucratic: there is a notable difference between receiving a general signal versus an "official statement" from what might be described as their governmental structure—akin to receiving a formal email rather than a casual remark.

Reptilians Guard Wisdom and Knowledge Systems Through Understanding, Not Emotion

Reptilians are described as entirely separate from the negative stereotypes popularized in conspiracy theories. Instead of being malicious manipulators, true reptilians act as custodians of wisdom and systems of understanding. Their role is to uphold domains of knowledge—comprehending the workings of reality rather than governing through emotion or interpersonal warmth. Like insectoids, they keep to their domain and interact according to their own nature and purpose.

Jokers Embody Light, Darkness, and Powerful Beings, Existing Across all Realities, Capable of Instant Travel Between States

Jokers are unique in the taxonomy of interdimensional entities. These beings do not belong to any particular reality layer; rather, they exist across all levels of existence. Jokers can transit between the highest and lowest dimensions instantaneously. They are described as embodying both light and darkness, the yin and the yang, in an undecipherable balance. Their singular trait is their multifaceted presence, which can feel overwhelming, manic, or even deranged—like the unpredictable energy of a carnival—but also capable of great benevolence and care.

Jokers are often sensed more by their "vibe" or presence than by any fixed appearance. They intentionally remain enigmatic—undecipherable even to themselves—constantly experiencing the duality of their own existence.

Nature and Function of Angelic and Demonic Entities

Entities Coexisting: Hierarchical Rules and Human Sovereignty

The experiential landscape is populated not just by insectoids, reptilians, and jokers, but also by angelic and demonic entities. According to Goler, these beings coexist across the same realms. It is not unusual, for example, to imagine them sharing space (like passengers on a bus), with everyone operating according to an underlying set of rules. Some entities may test or try to subvert these systems, but the basic order is maintained.

Boundary-Setting Halts Darker Entities During Sleep Paralysis, Suggesting Universal Laws Protect Individual Agency

Encounters with darker entities—such as those described during sleep paralysis—can be mitigated by active boundary-setting. Particularly for religious individuals, asserting authority (for example, invoking the name of Jesus Christ to claim one's body and space) immediately creates a boundary that cannot be violated. This response seems to trigger an inviolable law, universally respected in the interdimensional domains, that recognizes individual agency and sovereignty as nearly sacred. No entity, however dark, can cross such clearly established lines.

No Entity Is B ...

Danny Goler explores humanity’s path of spiritual development, framing our journey as an alignment problem analogous to those faced in artificial intelligence. He considers whether humanity can collectively embody universal values, evolve beyond primal competition, and consciously enter a greater cosmic community.

The Alignment Problem as Divine Test

Humanity's Alignment Problem: Embodying Universal Values Aligned With a Higher Purpose

Goler explains the alignment problem in artificial intelligence: ensuring AI acts in accordance with human values. He extends this to humanity itself, suggesting that we, as conscious agents, are undergoing our own alignment test. Throughout history, humans have struggled to agree on universal morals and ethics, with cultural and religious divides complicating efforts to define “the good.” Goler posits that, much like breaking a single mind into many for observation, humanity is fractured into individual agents so our interactions distill our essential nature. This sets up a scenario where humanity, as if placed in a divine simulation, is being observed—not in a punitive or surveilling way, but to see if we can naturally align with higher purposes and universal values when left to our own devices.

Strategic Games in Civilization: From Competition to Collaboration for Cosmic Advancement

Goler proposes that civilization has historically played various “games” to organize itself—from competitive nation-states to corporate structures. Competition excites and unifies groups for a time but ultimately founders when agents turn against each other. Goler stresses that competition is effective only in the short term—20, 30, maybe 50 years—before it begins to threaten the whole system. For humanity's longer-term thriving (on the scale of a thousand years or more), he claims only collaborative "love games" succeed. In a collaborative mode, individuals unite to accomplish lasting goals rather than vie for short-term individual gain.

He likens planetary exploration and environmental stewardship to complementary roles: some people seek new frontiers, while others nurture home. Both are integral. The act of striving towards larger goals—whether successful or not—reveals lessons vital for all. Goler asserts that what matters is not uniformity but functional balance and mutual support among those with different drives.

God Tests Humanity Via Simulations to Understand Necessary Existence

Goler imagines the universe as a constructed simulation in which God observes humanity’s choices and interactions, seeking to understand what essence emerges when beings do not know they are watched. The simulated environment is not "fake" but rendered with different rules, designed to provoke genuine behavior and discovery. If humanity demonstrates the ability to align with greater values, Goler suggests we are then invited to "play the bigger game"—to join advanced civilizations in the cosmic community.

Transition From Competition to Collaboration Consciousness

Competitive Systems Work Short-Term but Hinder Civilization Development, Whereas Collaborative Systems Thrive With Resource Abundance to Prevent Scarcity Conflict

Goler explains that competition derives from resource scarcity, creating an “it’s either you or me” mentality. As technology advances, humanity is moving toward abundance, illustrated metaphorically by the idea of everyone having personal replicators. In such a world, competition becomes obsolete, and civilizations that solve the resource problem shift focus from survival to meaning and connection.

Humans Evolve Toward Abundance Through Technology; Beyond Material Resources, the Only Meaningful Currency Is "Vibes"—the Quality of Conscious Connection in Interactions

Once material needs are met, Goler observes that the only worthy currency is the “vibe”: the quality of presence and consciousness in social interaction. Being “fun to be around” or missed when absent becomes the true value. At the highest level of civilization, the collaborative creation of beauty and harmony—and how individuals uplift one another—matters most.

Advanced Civilizations Welcome Species Into the Cosmic Community if They Demonstrate Collaboration and Care Over Selfishness and Competition

Goler posits that highly advanced civilizations, having overcome scarcity, require new entrants to demonstrate healthy vibes and a consciousness of care. Only those societies that manage collaborative harmony and caring stewardship are welcome, as dysfunctional, competitive societies would disrupt the larger cosmic order.

Disclosure and Gradual Awakening

Revelation Through Phenomena Like the Dmt Laser Code Is a Gradual Disclosure to Acclimate Humanity to Expanded Reality Without Ontological Shock, Akin To Giving Tools to a Monkey and Observing Its Understanding

Goler describes disclosure—the revelation of expanded reality and our simulated or constructed universe—as a gradual process. Like giving tools to a monkey to see if it discovers their purpose, reality presents phenomena such as the “DMT laser code” as hints. Humanity is gently introduced to greater truths to avoid overwhelming or shocking individuals, allowing gradual accli ...
