Since Oneness is formless, thus endless, belief in a world with more than one is inexplicable. Therefore, Alexius employs metaphors to show how absurd such a belief is.

Duality Hack #1.3 from the free eBook Alexius’ Duality Hacks

Alexius has not contemplated the thoughts that form this hack. He serves as a channel, much like a radio that receives and transmits frequencies. Ethereal waves touch Alexius, and he forwards them as words, as below:

Many meditate, chant, drink, take drugs, or pursue other practices to eliminate their problems. Paradoxically, these efforts tend to reinforce the very issues they seek to escape. For instance:

• Meditating to become whole heightens incompleteness. 
• When we pursue freedom, we reinforce a sense of imprisonment.
• Eating to get healthy feeds a sense of being unsound.
• Looking for Enlightenment intensifies inner darkness.
• Uniting the world amplifies separation.
• Demanding respect heightens disrespect.
• Seeking God strengthens the demon inside.
• Searching for a higher self affirms unworthiness.

However, the list above rests on a fundamental misunderstanding. People do not meditate to become whole or eat to be healthy. They do these things because their brains compel them to. The brain shapes and maintains us as physical beings in a world confined by time and space. See Duality Hack #6.

Most try to hide that they are the brain’s puppet by solving problems, believing it makes them in charge. But, as the list above shows, doing so only worsens their problems. Fortunately, when we acknowledge that the brain is in control, we meditate or eat healthily simply to enjoy following the brain’s script and so avoid creating problems.

If a computer with AI is programmed to think it’s a bird flying around a star, it generates moving images of a star, suggesting it’s a bird circling it. Similarly, the human brain fabricates images of a world defined by time and space, implying we are someone within an external world.

When you believe in being the image you have invented of yourself, you constantly seek something to ratify your belief. But no matter what you find, you doubt it because you don’t know who you are.

The brain’s duality fantasy has its flaws. In a dual world, every colour in the spectrum should have a complementary colour. Nevertheless, there’s a gap: lime green has no complement. However, the brain corrects this mistake on the spot by blending blue and red in our headspace. Hence, we ’see’ the missing colour, pink.

Alexius’ Duality Hacks go further. Since all experiences are fake, they undo them. Duality Hack #10 does so instantly. The other Duality Hacks undo them over time, so you can enjoy the brain’s manufactured experiences while they’re being undone.

When Alexius organised the files into different folders on his first computer, he assumed they were arranged the same way on the hard disk. Now, he knows better. There’s no hierarchy on a hard disk. No files sit on top of or beneath others. A hard disk is flat, and everything is non-dimensional, made up only of zeros and ones.

Thus, Alexius’ experience of a structured world on his monitor was make-believe. The same goes for the world we see, except it’s not made of zeros and ones but of empty space that the brain twists into experiences of something definable.

The desire for a specific future sustains the illusion of time and space.

The world we perceive, much like a movie viewed through 3-D glasses, is not three-dimensional. It’s a construct, a simulation fabricated by the brain. Yet most choose to see this virtual amphitheatre as real, to feel alive, because they constantly doubt their existence. However, if we recognise the amphitheatre is unreal and still play the part the brain gives us, we enjoy pretending to be what we are not (Duality Hack #2).
