About the Book

It's amazing how dominant information is in the modern world. In fact, it's so dominant that it begs the question, "What if information does not only define and shape our world--what if it is in fact reality"? The 1999 film The Matrix and its sequels were predicated on just this idea.

Of late, the sultans of Silicon Valley have become obsessed with this idea, which is known as the simulation hypothesis. Elon Musk himself has remarked, "There's a billion-to-one chance we're living in base reality." Perhaps information doesn't just define and shape our reality. Perhaps it's entangled in the fabric of reality, through the mind of the observer of the participatory universe. Consider the philosophical thought experiment: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? It takes a mind to experience reality.

In this book, I chronicle the journey that led me to discover the missing link between science and spirituality: the information-bit. Legendary theoretical physicist John Wheeler's "it-from-bit" theory and my own Quantum Mind model are ultimately rooted in the same thing: data. Wheeler suggested that physical reality--the "it"--is based on patterns of information, or "bits." I theorize that our actions in the real world unfold in sync with underlying information-thought patterns that exist only in the mind. Buddha once said, "The mind is everything. What you think, you become." This bi-directional dialogue across the mind-body connection may well occur at the Planck scale, where the transition between quantum physics--the bit--and classical physics--the it--operates.

But where do the mind and body meet? Purpose, which emerges from knowing oneself, unifies the wisdom of the East with the pragmatism of the West. The energy derived from what has meaning to the self is the fuel to manifest the bit arrangement contained in our minds into physical reality via our bodies. If its point of origin is love, this route leads to inner peace and harmony and draws a vector unifying the mind, heart, and body. The Matrix Explained reveals how.
