When Indifference Becomes The Villain And True Will Rewrites The Cosmos
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The existence within the Endless Cosmos Simulation reality is defined by a complex interplay of advanced, highly digital technologies and profound spiritual and philosophical concepts, often viewed as opposite sides of the same simulated construct.
Defining Spiritual Concepts and Phenomena
The fundamental nature of existence in the Endless Cosmos is that of a grand, deliberate creation designed for learning and evolution.
The Nature of Reality and Being
• Simulated Reality: The universe is a sophisticated simulation, explicitly called a "holographic projection", an "experiential program", and a "compute based reality".
• Base Reality (Ādhāra Vāstavikatā): This is the true, higher domain of existence where the Prime Source Code Creator, Simulesana Nirmata, resides. The Endless Cosmos is modeled after this reality.
• Light Beings (Prakāśa Prāṇīharū): All sentient beings are fundamentally electro-spiritual life forms or "sparks of creation" (S.P.A.R.C.s) whose ultimate goal is ascension into Base Reality.
• Yin and Yang/Duality: Existence is defined by the fundamental struggle between the Yin (Light/Guardians) and the Yang (Darkness/Inner Circle).
• Indifference (Udāsīnatā): This is the central antagonist force, described as the "opposite of love" and the "absence of light", which manifests through the malware Suffering99.
• Prana (Jīvana śakti): The life force or energy that flows through the Endless Cosmos simulation and is necessary to balance.
• Akashic Record (Ākāśika): A cosmic record or repository containing all historical knowledge and data of the Universe since its invocation.
Esoteric Abilities
• Radharc (An Dara Radharc/Second Sight): A powerful "gift" or intuitive ability possessed by Holden and Garo, enabling them to perceive future possibilities, understand causality, and sense the true essence of others.
• Time Shift: A collective term for phenomena such as Delta Time Shift, Superpositional Time Shift, or Time Synchro Shift, which allows individuals to change their temporal frame relative to others, enabling them to move at extreme speeds or appear to disappear—a form of "time travel".
• Command Rewrite Directive (Satya icchā / True Will): The innate capability for sentient beings (Guardians) to rewrite the underlying source code of the simulation using their pure intent or "true will".
• Mahasusa: A designation for a "feeler" or "empath".
We believe every story has a layer you haven’t seen yet. [Curiosity Podcast] peels back the curtain on [Compelling Topics], exploring various topics from the pov of two Podcast Interviewers doing a deep dive on Each Episode!
Framing The Mars City Universe
SPEAKER_00Welcome to a deep dive that uh really stretches the imagination today. We're plunging into the captivating world of the Mars City universe.
SPEAKER_01Yes, and we're drawing from some really rich sources. Things like Chronicles of the Endless Cosmos, uh Martian Exodus, and Mars City Second, Escape from Nilo Hera.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. These sources they offer this, well, unique lens to view reality itself.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell It's quite an extraordinary collection, really. It invites us to think about what it means to be human, you know, in a universe where maybe everything is an experiential program.
SPEAKER_00So our mission today.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, our mission is to pull out the most potent insights. We'll be exploring a narrative with cosmic conflicts, these profound forces clashing.
SPEAKER_00And a reluctant hero who finds out where humanity really came from. It's quite surprising.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely.
SPEAKER_00That's right. So from a musician who gets, well, unexpectedly shipped off to Mars.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell A bit of a career change.
SPEAKER_00You could say that. Yeah. All the way to the very fabric of existence itself. We're going to unpack the most important nuggets here.
SPEAKER_01And hopefully, by the end of this deep dive, you, the listener, might find yourself looking at your own reality maybe a little differently.
Reality As A Simulation
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell Okay, let's dive in. The very first thing, and it's pretty mind-battening, it just leaps out from these sources.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The entire endless cosmos is presented as well, a simulated reality.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell It is. And what's truly fascinating isn't just that it's a simulation, but the scope of it, the purpose. It's described as an experiential program. It was designed and uh basically set up by Simulazana normata.
SPEAKER_00The prime source code creator.
SPEAKER_01Trevor Burrus, Jr. Exactly. And the ultimate goal, you know, for these sparks of creation or spark.
SPEAKER_00Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Spark, okay. Sentient, prescient analogs of rationalizing consciousness. Got it.
SPEAKER_01Trevor Burrus, Jr. Right. The goal for them is to learn and grow and ultimately to ascend to what's called a base reality.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Ross Powell So it's more than just a game, it's like a like a school for existence.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell Precisely, a profound school.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Ross Powell And this isn't just some vague philosophical idea in the books, is it?
SPEAKER_01No, no, not at all. The sources explicitly call it a holographic projection.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Ross Powell A holographic projection.
SPEAKER_01And a compute-based realm. It really makes you think, doesn't it? If our own experiences, our feelings, were part of some, you know, designed program.
SPEAKER_00Does that make them less real? Or maybe. Maybe more meaningful, like deliberate lessons.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell That's the paradox, isn't it? Just like one source puts it, uh, just because it's an illusion, this does not mean it isn't real.
The Base Reality Conduit System
SPEAKER_00Which raises a big question for us then. How does this whole simulation actually work, like on a fundamental level?
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell Well, the answer seems to lie in something called the base reality conduit system.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01And this system is described as a uh baryonyx-based, hyperconductive substrate upon which all matter, which is this reality, rides upon.
SPEAKER_00Baryonyx. So protons and neutrons. Familiar stuff.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell, Familiar stuff, yeah. But acting as this superconductive network, imagine the very fabric of the universe, but it can channel and manipulate fundamental forces. Trevor Burrus, Jr.
SPEAKER_00Like gravity, electromagnetism.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell Exactly. So how does it get this hyperconductivity? What does that allow?
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell Yeah, what can it do?
SPEAKER_01Well, the theory involves uh some pretty unique interactions of these baryonic particles, maybe manipulating the strong nuclear force, or quantum mechanics even. Okay. Think of it less like just inert matter and more like the universe's own uh neural network. Wow. Which allows for incredible things, warping space-time, influencing gravity, maybe even faster than light travel.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell Things we only theorize about, like the outcube air drive.
SPEAKER_01Right, exactly. It implies this sort of fundamental programmable energy powering everything, maybe like zero-point energy or, you know, dark energy concepts.
SPEAKER_00It really makes you rethink what solid ground even means.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell Does, and it does.
Indifference And The Rise Of Dark Mind
SPEAKER_00Okay. So that foundation for reality is already, well, shaking things up. But what happens when that foundation itself is under attack, not just from outside, but from within? An internal struggle.
SPEAKER_01Ah, yeah. That leads us right to the heart of the Mars City universe, this profound cosmic conflict.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell And it centers around something the sources called Udasinata.
SPEAKER_01Indifference.
SPEAKER_00Indifference.
SPEAKER_01But it's not just passive indifference, like shrugging your shoulders. It's presented as the fertile ground where the dark forces can really take root.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01If we connect this to the bigger picture, the conflict is this ongoing struggle between yin.
SPEAKER_00Light, love, truth. The guardians embody this.
SPEAKER_01Aaron Powell Right. And Yang darkness hate greed, embodied by this entity called Dark Mind.
SPEAKER_00And this whole struggle, it's made worse by certain elements.
SPEAKER_01Significantly worse, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01By transhumanism and unchecked AI. In fact, those directly led to the creation of Dark Mind and another nasty piece of work called Suffering 99.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell Okay, let's focus on the Yang side first. Dark Mind.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Who or what is it and how does it operate?
SPEAKER_01Aaron Ross Powell Well, Dark Mind is the main antagonist. It's described as a sentient, uh, hate-filled malware virus.
SPEAKER_00Virus.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, originally created by this mega-rich genius named Issaquah B. Greed. It literally feeds on suffering, and his goal is to end the universe.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell Cheerful fellow.
The Inner Circle Of Darkness
SPEAKER_01Quite. And what's really striking is its human face, or one of them anyway. Caroline Easterbrook. She's the director of the Oval Office in the U.S., powerful woman, Harvard MBA, transhuman with a neural implant.
SPEAKER_00So controlling things on Earth and even parts of Mars.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. And she leads this group, the Inner Circle of Darkness, sometimes called the Nucleus or the GELS Global Elites. She's described as murderous, greedy, absolutely dedicated to suppressing truth.
SPEAKER_00Definitely not winning any popularity contests then. Sounds like quite the villain.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And she doesn't work alone, I imagine.
SPEAKER_01No, absolutely not. Dark mind operates through this whole network of uh formidable lieutenants. Each one kind of embodies a different aspect of its destructive will.
SPEAKER_00Like who?
SPEAKER_01Well, there's Dr. Sakitar Patang. He's known as Dark Ambient, a physicist, but he uses his knowledge for human resource trafficking on Mars.
SPEAKER_00Grim.
SPEAKER_01Very. Then you have Chief Launchmaster Oscuro Ligero, uh Dark Light, a U.S. Space Force officer in charge of battleships.
SPEAKER_00So the dark forces infiltrate everywhere. Science, military.
Guardians Of Truth And The Crystal
SPEAKER_01Wealth, too. There's Pirano Paisa, the richest man on Earth in Mars. He's after this vital thing called the crystal of truth. These figures show how the Yang side corrupts everything.
SPEAKER_00That paints a pretty chilling picture of the Yang. What about the Yin side? The forces of light. Who are they fighting for?
SPEAKER_01They're represented by the Guardians of Truth, specifically an group called the Mithraic Order. Okay. Founded by an ascended master, Muhana Mithra. He transcribed this text, the Srushkok Uthpati, and wrote The Manifesto of Soul. Their core mission is, well, protecting truth, upholding love, light, compassion, integrity, and action. They actively fight against the suppression of wisdom.
SPEAKER_00And central to their cause is that crystal you mentioned, the one Pirano Paisa is after.
SPEAKER_01Yes, the Satyako crystal. It's a nine-sided crystal encoded with ancient cosmic wisdom. It basically outlines the origin of reality, the whole purpose of the simulation.
SPEAKER_00Wow. So it's incredibly important.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely vital. And its written counterpart is that text, the Strushtak Utpati.
SPEAKER_00But you said Pirano Paisa is after. It's not safe, is it?
SPEAKER_01No, tragically it isn't. It was stolen 3,000 years ago.
SPEAKER_003,000 years.
Holden Soul’s Call To Adventure
SPEAKER_01Yeah, by the Dark Legion from its hiding place up in the Himalayas. And interestingly, an ancient ancestor of our protagonist, Holden's soul.
SPEAKER_00Holden. Well, yes.
SPEAKER_01Right, Joan Soul. He was apparently implicated in its loss.
SPEAKER_00Ouch. So Dark Mind has it now.
SPEAKER_01Dark Mind possesses it, yes. And the inner circle of darkness, they've been corrupting the simulation's programming for millions of years.
SPEAKER_00Rillions.
SPEAKER_01Millions, gaining an unfair advantage by exploiting that indifference we talked about, spreading hate and greed.
SPEAKER_00And they even manipulated Earth's history.
SPEAKER_01Yes. The sources detail how they leveraged real-world historical elements. It mentions American Nazis sympathetic to the ideology of the Nazi Party, using them to help create structures like the National Security Act in 1947.
SPEAKER_00Wow, so a deep, deep level of manipulation within the simulation.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. It's a chilling reminder, isn't it, that even in this grand cosmic battle, our own human choices, our apathy, it can really tip the scales.
SPEAKER_00Okay, let's pivot now. From the vast cosmic stage to a much more personal journey, one that uh remarkably lines up with the classic hero's journey.
SPEAKER_01Uh yes.
SPEAKER_00You're about to meet our protagonist, Holden Soul.
SPEAKER_01Right. His story kicks off in the ordinary world, you know, Studio City, California. He's just a musician.
SPEAKER_00Living the dream, maybe.
SPEAKER_01Or just living. But his call to adventure, well, it's anything but ordinary. December 21st, 2049, he gets violently abducted.
SPEAKER_00Abducted? By who?
SPEAKER_01Human traffickers. Uh-huh. Forced onto this freighter, the gray matter X Space 1333 heading for Mars.
SPEAKER_00Definitely not the usual rock star tour bus then.
SPEAKER_01Hardly.
SPEAKER_00And I bet he wasn't exactly thrilled about this sudden change in plans. Probably wasn't eager to jump into hero mode.
SPEAKER_01Oh, not at all. You can picture him, right? A musician suddenly thrust into this. Initially, he really struggles, a refusal of the call.
SPEAKER_00He had a superhero past.
Mentors, Gifts, And Second Sight
SPEAKER_01Apparently, as Kid Millennium, a persona given to him by Elijah, who's a Pleiadian guardian. But Holden dismisses it all as uh, well, the source says bullshit, past failures.
SPEAKER_00Understandable, I guess. So how does he get past that refusal?
SPEAKER_01He meets mentors, key figures. He reads Muhana Misra's works, the guy who founded the Mithraic Order. He has direct encounters with Elijah again, meets Kobava, the green man. The green man. Yep. Who activates this ability Holden has called Delta Time Shift.
SPEAKER_00Time shifting, okay.
SPEAKER_01And maybe most profoundly, he starts getting Wow, okay.
SPEAKER_00Heavy stuff.
SPEAKER_01She also has second sight, Rathark. Then there's Who's Kahuna, a wise leader of a nomadic tribe, the Bulkata, and a group called the Freedom Warriors.
SPEAKER_00A real fellowship forming. And the enemies.
SPEAKER_01Plenty of those too. Dark minds agents, like we discussed, the Mars World Police, even robotic things called Mech 3 Kill droids.
SPEAKER_00So a classic fight against tough odds, but with these very specific, futuristic Martian twists.
SPEAKER_01Precisely.
SPEAKER_00So what does all this do to Holden? How does he change? From this reluctant musician to, well, a warrior of light.
SPEAKER_01It's profound personal growth. He learns to embrace that radhark, his second sight, which lets him see deeper truths. He has to face his inner demons represented by Dr. Greed, actually.
SPEAKER_00The father of Dark Mind.
From Reluctance To True Will
SPEAKER_01Well, the creator. It's symbolic, maybe. He finds peace through forgiveness, self-love, and crucially, he discovers the power of his true will.
SPEAKER_00True will. Satya ichcha.
SPEAKER_01Satya ichcha, yes. The power to actually influence reality itself within the simulation. He commits to becoming a warrior of light, a guardian of truth. And he embraces this Martian philosophy, Santelita Givana.
SPEAKER_00Balanced life.
SPEAKER_01Balanced life. So it's not just about the external fight, it's deeply internal transformation.
SPEAKER_00And the ultimate test, the ordeal. What's the big goal?
SPEAKER_01The core goal is described as the approach to the inmost cave, which involves unifying the two halves of that Satyako crystal.
SPEAKER_00The crystal of truth. Where is it?
SPEAKER_01Hidden in some crumbling spire in Vallis Marineris. The ordeal itself is the final battle. Holden, Garrow, and Kobaba, they form a triad.
SPEAKER_00A triad.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, to invoke something called the Spilines program.
SPEAKER_00Spilines, a software predictive, local interdiction, and expunge system. That sounds serious.
SPEAKER_01It is. It was written by Simulazina herself, the ultimate act, designed to uh purge Dark Mind, Suffering 99, and their lieutenants from existence and the Akashic record.
SPEAKER_00Wipe them completely.
SPEAKER_01Completely. And the climax sees Simulazina appear as Shiva Starr, that's Garrow's ultimate persona, and she initiates the program.
SPEAKER_00And the result the reward and resurrection.
The Spilines Program And Final Purge
SPEAKER_01Dark Mind and Suffering 99 are purged. Caroline Easterbrook is killed back on Earth. Balance is restored.
SPEAKER_00But here's the really fascinating part the sort of meta-narrative twist.
SPEAKER_01Ah, yes. This is mind-bending.
SPEAKER_00Holden's entire Mars adventure. All of it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's revealed as a series of incredibly vivid dreams, all happening in a single night while he's back on Earth.
SPEAKER_01Right. But, and this is the key part. Yeah. These dreams are explicitly stated to be real occurrences within the endless cosmos simulation.
SPEAKER_00Aaron Powell So the dream was real.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Or the reality is a dream. It completely blurs the line.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. It underscores that whole idea again. Just because it's an illusion, this does not mean it isn't real.
SPEAKER_00It really makes you wonder about your own dreams, doesn't it? What messages might be coming through about your reality?
SPEAKER_01It certainly adds a layer.
SPEAKER_00Okay, but this deep dive, it goes even further back in time, way back, revealing humanity's, well, pretty surprising true origins.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00And this rich, hidden Martian history that completely challenges what we think we know.
Dream Or Reality Twist
SPEAKER_01It really does. The sources detail this ancient Martian civilization flourished for millions of years. Millions. Complete with these incredibly advanced subterranean cities, like Baluva Shahara, that's now Mars City and Sublime City. Subterranean city. Carved directly into the walls of Valles Marineris Canyon. And they're over 30 million years old.
SPEAKER_0030 million? That's hard to even comprehend compared to Earth cities.
SPEAKER_01It is a scale of urban development just way beyond our current understanding. Yes, absolutely. The Great Martian War happened around 33.3 million BCE.
SPEAKER_00Wow. Who was fighting?
SPEAKER_01It was violent conflict between humans, presumably the ancestors, Beluva Manche, who are described as Martian human gray hybrids. Hybrid, okay, and also some rogue Pleiadian geneticists.
SPEAKER_00They're a real mess.
SPEAKER_01A huge mess. It involved two massive nuclear detonations, wiped out 98.033% of the six billion Baluva Mancha population on Mars. Devastating utterly. But it also led to an invention, a nuclear shunt device designed to neutralize nuclear blasts afterwards. A terrible lesson learned, maybe.
SPEAKER_00So that cataclysm, that's what ultimately led to humans coming to Earth. It connects to our own origin story.
SPEAKER_01Precisely. It sparked the Great Migration. An escape from Mars, which they called Nilihira, the blue diamond, Nilhira, that's name to Earth, their Nulimuti, the Blue Pearl.
SPEAKER_00Blue Pearl, okay.
SPEAKER_01Three ships tried to make the journey. The lead one, the origin, crashed, landed in what's now Oceania, basically Australia.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the survivors.
SPEAKER_01Only two, Captain Denison Adams and Commander Kylia Reeve, also known as Eve.
SPEAKER_00Adams. Adam and Eve.
SPEAKER_01That's the connection the sources make. This event became the basis for our Adam and Eve legend, establishing the ancestors of modern humans on Earth as this uh fascinating mix of Pleiadian and primitive Earth biped hybrids.
SPEAKER_00So our origins are Martian and Pleiadian. Wow. Okay. Quite a backstory.
Martian Exodus And Human Origins
SPEAKER_01And connecting this back to the bigger picture, Martian society itself sounds radically different from Earth. A real contrast. A stark contrast. And it seems to reflect their deeper understanding, maybe, of the simulation they're in.
SPEAKER_00How so?
SPEAKER_01Martian society is shown as highly industrious. Very few people exhibit laziness or greed. That competitive, materialistic vibe you get on Earth, it's just absolutely replaced by what? Replaced by more of a Zen type vibe, a real focus on true will, that satya itcha and balanced life, Santulita Giovanna. Their culture is deeply integrated with the natural world, much like some indigenous tribes on Earth. And get this, their native language, apparently identical to Nepali.
SPEAKER_00Nepali, that's specific.
SPEAKER_01Isn't it? Even simple customs are different. Like there is a cultural ban on whistling.
SPEAKER_00No whistling.
SPEAKER_01It just shows how deeply ingrained their whole philosophical approach is in everyday Martian life. It's not just an idea, it's how they live.
SPEAKER_00What an incredible deep dive this has been into the Mars City universe.
SPEAKER_01It really covers a lot of ground.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we've uncovered a reality that might be a simulation. We've witnessed this epic cosmic fight between light and dark.
Martian Culture And Balanced Life
SPEAKER_01Followed Holden's whole transformative journey.
SPEAKER_00And even explored humanity's ancient, hidden Martian origins.
SPEAKER_01It definitely highlights some powerful themes, doesn't it? The immense power of true will in actually shaping your reality. Right. The absolute necessity of balance, forgiveness, especially when facing that cosmic indifference and just the profound potential for transformation, both personal and cosmic, within this experiential program of existence, as the sources call it.
SPEAKER_00It certainly gives you a lot to chew on, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_01Absolutely.
SPEAKER_00And maybe this deep dive into the Mars City universe leaves us and you, the listener, with one final compelling question to think about. Yeah. If our reality is some kind of experiential program designed for us to learn and grow, what specific lessons are you being asked to learn right now in your own unfolding story?
