“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

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. You cannot cease to exist. You must, hence, grow.

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. It is homogeneous, without dualities. Hence, it fragments into infinite finite souls since infinity is unstable.

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

Every soul manifests a part of the cosmos, and together they explore all possibilities and states. All lives are simultaneous.

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

Morality is subjective. However, the consequences of adopting certain moral systems are real.

We choose which moral system to follow. However, we must bear the effects.

Eschatology and Soteriology

The soul goes through many incarnations, forgetting itself, making moral choices, and learning 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 Lessons 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 within ourselves, seek perfection in human form, and manifest them in 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 last part of the cosmic plan.

A Brief Synopsis

Remembering the Tao

The Tao is not something to be sought.

You are the Tao.

You only need to remember, manifest, and embody it.

The reader should now understand the book’s title, The Tao of Tetris 2.

We are the Tao, the One, and the cosmic consciousness that is all reality.

All creation is a manifestation of the all-that-there-is in individual forms. Each part explores, manifests, and expresses free will, then returns to the cosmic source, enriching the whole in a cycle of eternal participation.

And we will all return to the source, restarting new cycles of creation, volition, exploration, and manifestation.

Thought Affects Reality

In a more practical manner, the summary of every chapter traces back to just one simple motto:

Thought affects reality.

We now come full circle on how language affects reality, returning to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis introduced earlier.

Tetris is a spatial language that, once learned, teaches us many spiritual laws I cover in this book.

When held in thought and belief, these spiritual laws can positively influence reality.

The reader may be from various intellectual, philosophical, or religious backgrounds. Hence, they may disagree with some tenets in this book.

However, all theories are just mental constructions and limited frameworks of an infinite cosmos.

They are subject to change and debate.

However, the value of its content does not come from merely harboring it as thoughts.

It comes from actualizing them and turning them into actions that are made manifest in the physical world: through individual acts of kindness or grace, or even broad social and economic policies.

This is because consequences and effects are always real, regardless of what one believes.

This book’s content is mere intellectual abstraction and armchair philosophizing if it is known but never applied, no matter how profound some laws appear.

Therefore, if this book has been useful to you, harbor its contents not merely as thoughts, but instead, actualize them in the real world.

After all, physical actions are the language of the physical plane and the expression of spirit.

Here, we manifest our ideals and transform them into actual constructs.

Embody the One within us, then the cosmic isolation of Earth will be lifted, and we will integrate into the broader cosmic community.

Tetris

Do not just study Tetris; play and experience it.
Enjoy playing Tetris your own way.
Do not care about external achievements like a sprint score.
Do not care about what others think or judge of your skills or playstyle.
Be humble and continuously learn.
Develop your unique, authentic Tetris style rather than following convention.
Judge not others’ gameplay. Accept their gameplay styles.
Help others in Tetris by sharing your knowledge for free.
Detach from all outcomes. Winning or losing does not matter.
Tetris is not an arena or competition. You play it for fun, not to outdo others for the sake of it.
Embrace the uncertainties and chaos of Tetris and grow from them.
Do not get too addicted to Tetris. There are other games!
Your way of playing and perceiving Tetris reflects your inner spiritual state. What does it tell you?
Fear not the player who knows a thousand obscure and complex methods. Fear the one who has performed a simple method ten thousand times.
Do not begrudge your opponents if they beat you. All is one.
The beginning is not the end. Do not give up on mastering the game.
May Tetris be for everyone.
There is no end, not even the Tetris singularity that I often meme on my Galactoid Tetris WordPress website.
Play until you and Tetris are one.

Final Words

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

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

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

Only through reflection on our experiences can we 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 primary goal: to teach and pass down my spiritual revelations to the world.

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

Happy stacking, and with love,

Aquila Goh (Galactoid)

About the Origin of These Spiritual Insights

In my dreams and inner visions, this intuitive spiritual 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. It could be the name of some spirit guide or group.

When I write my spiritual novels and this book, I practice a form of automatic writing that feels like channeling an external spiritual consciousness.

My brain then translates its abstract ideas into words.

I do not present this as doctrine or as literal metaphysics, but simply as the symbolic language through which my unconscious — or whatever higher intelligence guides my writing — speaks to me.

I strongly believe that this book was partly channeled. It has ideas and intuitions that I would not have been able to grasp otherwise.

A final word: do not accept anything in this book mindlessly. Validate them, and take only what is useful. Discard what is not. This book’s ideas are not dogma.
