THE BRIEF HISTORY OF EVERYTHING

The Origin of Creation Astral Space Exploration

Throughout my life, I have been passionate about science fiction and the future. Classics like "Star Wars", Stanislaw Lem's "Summa Technologiae", "Solaris" and "The Futurological Congress", Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" and "Robot" series, and Arthur C. Clarke's visionary stories have profoundly shaped my imagination. Films and serials such as "Back to the Future","5th Element", "Alien", "THX 1138", "Lost", "Fountain", "Mr.Nobody", "Sunshine", "Star Trek," and "Stargate" have fueled my creativity, exploring themes like time travel, dystopian futures, and interstellar exploration. The dark universe of Warhammer 40K and the philosophical depth of "Ghost in the Shell" have further influenced my understanding the endless possibilities of advanced technologies and interstellar civilizations. Computer games such as "Stellaris" and "Mass Effect" have also become a great source of inspiration. 

During my academic journey in architecture, I envisioned creating biomechanical structures that seamlessly integrate with their environments, blending organic forms with advanced technology. However, I soon realized that the technological limitations of our time posed significant challenges to bringing these visionary ideas to life. This recognition led me to channel my sci-fi passion into independent artistry, where I could explore and express futuristic concepts without the constraints of current technological capabilities.

As a student, I immersed myself in the philosophical and theoretical works of Ken Wilber, Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamurti, Clare Graves, and the theories of Spiral Dynamics and the Integral Approach. I was particularly drawn to the AQAL Model and other frameworks that map the stages of human consciousness. This extensive exploration of consciousness theories enriched my understanding of human development and spiritual evolution.

My fascination with the Kardashev Scale and its modified versions, along with the concept of humanity becoming a multiplanetary species, highlighted a significant gap in existing models. The Kardashev Scale, focused primarily on technological advancement, lacked a clear map of spiritual evolution. Conversely, the stages of consciousness models did not adequately address the cosmic scale of development. The idea that humanity could achieve Type I, II, or III civilization status without understanding the stages of consciousness is unrealistic. Achieving such levels requires unity and interconnectedness in actions and social structures. On Earth, humanity struggles to live in peace without territorial, resource, and ideological conflicts. The notion that we would suddenly achieve eternal peace in space, without repeating the history of Earth on a cosmic scale, is pure fantasy.

Existing models of consciousness focus solely on internal stages without considering cosmic development. This omission neglects the broader, interconnected progression necessary for a truly advanced civilization. Recognizing this gap, it became essential for me in 2015 to create a new model that integrated both aspects.

This realization inspired me to create my own model of 8 stages of consciousness, integrating both cosmic development and the spiritual progression of consciousness. I aimed to develop a comprehensive structure that could guide humanity in its journey to becoming a multiplanetary species while ensuring the evolution of our collective consciousness. This model acknowledges the necessity of balancing technological advancements with spiritual growth, recognizing that true progress requires harmony between these dimensions.

After finishing the construction of this model, which was named "Astral Space Exploration Model of Consciousness" or ASX-Grid, I experienced a strong sense of purpose to devote my life to it through artistic expression. Central to Astral Space Exploration is the ASX Model of Consciousness, which defines the stages of cosmic evolution from Pre-Planetary to Universal. This model reflects a progression where challenges and complexities increase as civilizations advance, integrating both technological evolution and the deepening of consciousness. It transcends anthropocentric and species-centric frameworks, offering a multidimensional perspective that considers the broader spectrum of sentient life and cosmic development.

By blending scientific concepts with artistic expression, I hope to contribute to a broader understanding of our potential future. My art serves as a catalyst for contemplating the ethical, philosophical, and practical implications of our cosmic journey. It is my aspiration that this work will not only spark curiosity and innovation but also encourage a deeper reflection on the interconnectedness of all things and the integral role of consciousness in our evolutionary path.
