Abstract

This paper proposes an unconventional approach to exploring the Universe: accessing cosmic information through altered states of consciousness rather than physical travel. The author argues that the development of superluminal propulsion systems faces insurmountable barriers, while every point in space-time may already contain complete information about the cosmos — as suggested by the holographic principle and USST Theory. Drawing on Carlos Castaneda’s concept of the assemblage point, Carl Jung’s collective unconscious, Buddhist samadhi, shamanic trance, and modern findings in neurobiology and cognitive psychology, the work examines how consciousness, subconscious, and the collective unconscious can be “assembled” to gain direct, non-local access to universal knowledge. Four main methods are discussed: somnambulistic trance, lucid dreaming, deep meditation, and certain psychoactive substances. Although such experiences are often filtered through personal symbols and metaphors, evidence from studies of dreams, archetypes, and synchronicity supports the existence of this phenomenon. The paper calls for systematic interdisciplinary research in this field and suggests that the deepest journeys through the Universe may begin not with rockets, but with an inner shift of the assemblage point.
