“The cosmos is not a reflection to be studied. We must experience it. We must become one with its eternal flow and rhythms.”

—Aquila Goh

A Synthesis of All Spiritual Laws

Here is how all the spiritual laws in this book interweave together to form the big cosmic picture:

Ontology

The law of existence begins by stating that one is all and all is one.

This births the law of oneness, we are all unitary beings—manifestations of one common cosmic spirit.

Because it is unitary, it can only love itself, and hence, the law of love.

But because it is unitary and manifests all possibilities simultaneously, it cannot choose. Hence, it fragments into infinite finite souls.

This creates free will, and hence, the law of free will.

But to choose, the One must incarnate in finite universes. Hence, it creates the illusion of Maya or duality. Hence, the law of polarity.

Morality

With choice and free will comes responsibility.

In universes and dimensions with linear time, this allows all causes to have an effect. Hence, the law of cause-and-effect.

Every thought and intention we have affects the entire cosmos and comes back to us.

Hence, the laws of connectivity, manifestation, perspective, physicality, and eternal reflection.

Eschatology and Soteriology

The soul goes through many incarnations, forgetting itself, making moral choices, and learns from mistakes.

It eventually remembers and reconnects with its divinity. Hence, the law of divinity.

The soul returns to the One, bringing its experiences to enrich the cosmos, making it more complete in the One’s quest for infinity.

Hence, the law of completeness and infiniteness.

Human Applications and Spiritual Evolution

Spiritual intentions can only manifest in human and material forms when we are human. Hence, the law of humanity.

When we are here, we learn to master physicality and bring heaven from up there to Earth. Hence, the law of physicality.

While doing so, we learn the impermanence of life, to be our authentic selves, to balance our personalities, to go with the flow, to live in the present, and to align our intentions with the One.

Hence, the laws above.

We then embody these in ourselves, seeking perfection in human form, and manifest them in the broader social reality.

Hence, the law of energy, perfectibility, and correspondence.

Finally, we complete our missions and surrender to the One, reuniting with it. Hence, the law of surrender is the final part of the cosmic plan.

A Brief Synopsis

Final Words

My role in Tetris is almost done, having written five Tetris books.

This spirituality book is the culmination of my years of effort in detailing Tetris.

In the end, the gameplay of Tetris alone is insufficient for spiritual or philosophical growth.

It is only through reflection on our experiences that we can truly learn and master Tetris.

It takes minutes to learn Tetris, years to master Tetris, and a lifetime to play Tetris like a child.

In this concluding message to humanity, I have achieved my final goal: to teach and pass down my spiritual revelations to the world. I will soon return to the Tao.

I wish you all the best in your spiritual endeavors and evolution.

Happy stacking and with love,

About the Origin of These Spiritual Insights

In my dreams and inner visions, this intuitive presence sometimes appears to me as a zelkova tree. This image has woven itself through my novels. I once heard the name “Yak’smal” whispered in that space of half-sleep and half-awakening. I do not present this as doctrine or as literal metaphysics, but simply as the symbolic language through which my own unconscious—or whatever higher intelligence guides my writing—chooses to speak to me.
