Hacking the Hologram: Challenging Age-Old Beliefs & Behaviors on a Journey Through the Illusions of Reality
Stephen Davis’s Hacking the Hologram is a bold and mind-bending exploration into the idea that our reality might not be real at all. Davis doesn’t attempt to prove the theory that we live in a holographic universe; instead, he walks readers through what life would mean if that theory were true. Drawing on quantum physics, spiritual philosophy, religious critique, and personal anecdotes, Davis invites us to question everything—from our sense of self to the very existence of God. It’s part science speculation, part spiritual unraveling, and part rebel manifesto.
Davis writes with the kind of no-holds-barred energy that demands attention, and I found myself nodding, frowning, and occasionally muttering, “Wait, what?” His writing is clear, but his ideas are anything but simple. He’s got guts, taking shots at organized religion, childhood trauma, and New Age optimism with the same irreverence. At times, the bluntness felt refreshing, even freeing. Still, the questions he raises—about whether our suffering has meaning, or whether God is even necessary—are real and raw. He’s not trying to impress physicists; he’s trying to wake you up.
The book sometimes drifts into a swirl of speculation that felt emotionally driven. I admire Davis’s conviction. Some arguments rely on personal pain or pop culture parallels (like The Truman Show), which can be engaging. The narrative loops through theories of simulation, critiques of the Christian God, and the mysterious Demiurge as the possible director of our lives, which is fascinating.
I think Hacking the Hologram is best suited for readers who aren’t afraid to have their worldviews shaken. If you like your spiritual inquiries laced with attitude, doubt, and a wild blend of science fiction and soul-searching, you might find this book exhilarating. For those willing to question what’s real, it’s a trip worth taking.

Life Beyond Our Human Boundaries
The Gift chronicles your transformative journey from skeptical seeker to confident spiritual guide, uncovering intuitive gifts and ancestral wisdom through decades of metaphysical exploration. Why was this an important book for you to write?
My journey showed me that there is much more to life on earth than we discern with our five senses and I felt it was important to share this with others who are embarking on a similar path. Not only to know of this expanded view of the world but to utilize this dimension to enrich one’s life as well as elevate group consciousness.
What moment during the writing of The Gift felt the most vulnerable to put into words?
Although I believe this memoir made me more vulnerable in general because of my experiences with the beyond, I would say being contacted by extra-terrestrials was by far the most compelling and significant encounter confirming there is life beyond our human boundaries. Admitting to having contact with extra-terrestrials back in the eighties was controversial and looked upon with disbelief.
Were there any spiritual encounters you chose not to include in the book because they felt too personal or unbelievable?
Funny that you should ask that question. Yes, there are many more incredible occurrences that were left out. For instance, my psychic abilities have expanded exponentially. I have met strangers and been able to connect with their loved ones and give a meaningful message. It is not something I consciously do, but when someone who passed on knows I can relay a message they get excited and ask me to do so. I also am able to tune into the years that trauma occurred in one’s life by looking at their energy field which can facilitate healing. Now that I have established a presence, my next book will include a deeper level of exploration.
If you could offer one piece of advice to readers who are just beginning to notice intuitive experiences in their lives, what would it be?
First, be open to the potential that there is much more to the world than what we can see. Secondly, meditate to calm the body and mind to allow a deep level of relaxation that prepares one for hearing their subconscious thoughts as well as connecting to the collective unconscious. These practices can lead to synchronicities and open the gate to the unseen world.

Spirituality 103 The Forgiveness Code: Finding The Light In Our Shadow
![Spirituality 103 The Forgiveness Code: Finding The Light In Our Shadows by [Figueroa-Otero, Ivan]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ngbj19AxL.jpg)
Ivan Figueroa-Otero’s Spirituality 103: The Forgiveness Code is the third installment in a succession of self-help books that focus on spirituality, mindfulness, and self-understanding. This installment more specifically deals with the power of forgiveness. The reader is encouraged to connect with his or her inner ‘Warrior of Light’, meaning that in order to confront the negativity around us we must look into ourselves and examine the negativity that we harbor internally. Figueroa-Otero employs the use of Buddhism and Chinese-Tao concepts to help the reader get on a path towards connecting with him or herself and to understand that forgiveness is necessary for progress and growth.
One thing that I found helpful about the novel was the glossary that was included in the beginning. It gave the author’s expanded definition for various specific terms that was used throughout the book, such as ‘Warrior of Light’, ‘Warrior of Shadows’, and so on. Figueroa-Otero also provides homework questions at the end of chapters to help the reader review and fully understand the concepts discussed in each chapter. I found this helpful as it allowed me to exercise my understanding what I just read.
Another helpful aspect to the novel is that the reader does not necessarily need to read the first two installments in order to comprehend and fully practice the message and lesson that the author communicates. Figueroa-Otero does an excellent job in the introduction at summarizing what the readers have learned from the first two books and how that might be applied to this book.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel. I’m all about a good self-help book, and it’s refreshing to see one written on the power of forgiveness. However, the prose was so dense with poetic and figurative language that I would have to reread some sections to understand what was said. Along with amble use of metaphors I felt that I sometimes had to apply my own meaning rather than being told what things meant.
This would be a great book to read for anyone who finds themselves bitter or harboring hateful feelings towards others. I love the lesson presented within the book and you can really feel the authors passion for the subject matter. And in the end, with a self help, what you’re really looking for is an author that cares. And I think I found that in this book.
