“You don’t study Tetris or life—you flow with it.”

—Aquila Goh

I am Aquila Goh, the author of a spiritual–philosophical dark fantasy series and four advanced Tetris guidebooks. I hold a master’s degree in existential sociology.

Since I was young, I have spent my life reading thousands of books across dozens of disciplines: science, philosophy, spirituality, religion, psychology, art, history, economics, and more.

My spiritual journey drew me into many rich traditions—Integral Spirituality, ego-developmental and moral psychology, Theosophy, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Vedanta, Christian mysticism, Sufism, Kabbalah, Zen, Confucianism, and various indigenous teachings.

Alongside these, I explored near-death experiences, afterlife research, and channeled teachings, including the Michael, Yarbro, Seth, Bashar, Cayce, and Swedenborg materials.

This spiritual foundation was balanced by rigorous scientific study. I learned general relativity, quantum mechanics, and theoretical physics independently, and in graduate school, I also focused on mathematical sociology.

Over the past decade, I synthesized these fields through my eight-book series The Eternal Reflection, written entirely without AI. In those novels, I explored the meaning and purpose of human and spiritual existence.

Throughout my life, I have also had profound mystical experiences. At age twenty-nine, I entered a month-long state of profound oneness and love, during which I wrote an unpublished 1300-page journal titled Thus Spake Oneness. Its insights later shaped my fiction and this book.

I have also experienced several out-of-body experiences, including one in which luminous beings showed me scenes from my past lives on Earth and other worlds.

In parallel, I became a high-level Tetris player and the author of multiple advanced Tetris guidebooks. Over time, I saw a clear parallel between Tetris and spiritual growth: both involve self-awareness, love, oneness, impermanence, truth, and fortitude.

This realization is why I wrote this book—to use Tetris as a metaphor for conveying deeper spiritual principles.

It comes from a place of sincerity and love, offered to anyone seeking clarity, growth, and inner alignment.

This book is called The Tao of Tetris—a name whose meaning will unfold as you explore the game and the deeper spiritual laws of life.

Clarifications

This book uses Tetris terminology as a metaphor to explain deeper spiritual principles.

To support readers unfamiliar with the game, I have included a short chapter summarizing the essential Tetris concepts and terms referenced throughout the book.

I also use phrases such as “the law of oneness.” Here, the word law should not be interpreted as an unchanging universal decree. In this book, it simply means a broad principle. This flexible guideline generally applies across many spiritual contexts, with room for nuance and exception.

My voice may also fuse with something beyond. When I write, I sometimes channel an external spiritual power, which uses their voice. I believe that this form of spiritual channelling, called “automatic writing,” was responsible for nearly all my writings in this life. The source does not matter. The effect matters.

This work draws from a wide range of Eastern spiritual and philosophical traditions. Some ideas may differ from the frameworks or belief systems of certain readers.

I offer them not as dogma, but as perspectives intended to support reflection, understanding, and personal growth.

I am also a free thinker and do not identify with any religion.
