I\u2019ve finally managed to create an interactive visualization of what happens inside my mind during deep meditations. It\u2019s a very pleasant Chaos Sphere trip<\/a><\/strong>. I start to see thousands of them, and it feels like every atom of reality is, in fact, a Chaos Sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I\u2019ve developed this, I\u2019m using it as a form of “reverse mind engineering.” Instead of meditating for hours to reach the mental state where I can see this, I can now simply watch it unfold on a large TV screen, which makes it much easier to access that state of mind. It\u2019s incredibly interesting. For me, it\u2019s like I\u2019ve \u201cstolen fire from heaven\u201d because now I can just turn on my computer and see things that were once only visible in the realms of deep trance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m using the Three.js<\/a> framework to build the 3D environment. I\u2019ve only just started studying it, but I\u2019m really enjoying it so far. The fact that you don\u2019t have to compile anything is a blessing\u2014just save it, and it\u2019s done. It all runs in the browser (for WebGL<\/a>-enabled browsers, of course), with no plugins required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After discovering the Magic Chaos Angle<\/a>, I created a method for building Chaos Spheres: https:\/\/caostar.com\/3d\/js\/custom\/chaosphere.js<\/a>
It\u2019s still just a scratch, but with this, you can generate a Chaos Sphere inside Three.js as easily as this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

var newChaosSphere = createChaosSphere();<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll be updating the JS file above with improvements over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
