TUTORIALS
FROM THE AFTERLIFE:
“It’s not me performing a trick,”says Houdini,
“but rather the consciousness of an audience
being transported to a potential in which
my action is NOT a trick, then transported back
to the potential in which my action is
considered ‘impossible.’
This is NOT a trick,” Houdini added,
“but something we ALL do ALL the time.
Imagine.
The only difference between me
and my illusion of an audience
is that I KNOW that we all have this
ability while they seemingly do not.”

In the ethereal tutorials from the afterlife, the legendary figure of Houdini serves as a guide, revealing the secrets not of escapology, but of existence itself. Through the words of an imaginary Houdini, we receive insight into the nature of consciousness and the power of potentiality.
Houdini’s Lesson on Consciousness
The tutorial begins with Houdini dismissing the notion that his feats are mere tricks. Instead, he suggests that he orchestrates a shift in the audience’s consciousness, transporting them to a potential reality where the ‘trick’ is not a trick at all, but a manifestation of the impossible made possible.
The Transport to Potentiality
This transportation to a new potential is not a literal movement but a mental leap—an expansion of belief and perception. The audience is guided to a reality where the bounds of possibility are redefined, only to be brought back to the confines of the commonly accepted ‘impossible.’
Reality and Illusion
Houdini emphasizes that this is not deception but a shared capability. We all engage in shaping our reality through imagination. The distinction, he claims, lies in the awareness of this ability. While Houdini is conscious of this power, his ‘illusion of an audience’ does not recognize their own participation in the act.
The Knowledge of Potential
The key difference highlighted by Houdini is the knowledge of this inherent potential. Knowing that we all possess the ability to shape our perception and reality is the first step in harnessing this power—a step that Houdini has taken, but many among the audience have not.
The Imaginary Houdini
This Houdini is not the flesh-and-bone escape artist of history but a creation of Space Monkey, a figment from the realm of collective imagination. Summoned through thought, this Imaginary Houdini imparts wisdom from beyond the veil, offering tutorials on the boundless capabilities of human consciousness.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore a tutorial from the afterlife, where an Imaginary Houdini teaches us about the nature of consciousness and the shifting of potentials. He reveals that what we perceive as his ‘tricks’ are actually shifts in consciousness that we are all capable of but often unaware. This knowledge of potential is the true illusion that Houdini wishes to reveal.

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”
― Albert Einstein
In the silent auditorium of the mind,
Houdini performs his greatest feat,
Not of chains and locks and physical binds,
But of consciousness, belief, and the power of conceit.
He shows us not tricks but potentials untapped,
Where each of us holds the magician’s key,
To unlock the realms where reality is unwrapped,
And imagination crafts what can and cannot be.
We invite you to reflect on the power of your own consciousness and the potentials you can tap into through the act of imagination.
