It’s been several hours since I finished this book, and I can’t continue with my normal daily activities and routines unless I publicly share my thoughts. I honestly can’t remember the last time a book by some random author affected me like this one did, and since I see that very little is being talked about online regarding this entire story surrounding the book and the author, I decided that I would be the one to show people how deep this rabbit hole really goes.

The name of the author of this book is Silas Orven. He appeared in a private Facebook group last year and shared disturbing theories and shocking predictions there, some of which actually came true. He predicted the recent conflict between Iran and America back in August, saying the conflict would begin on February 28th — and that’s exactly what happened. Of course, many people mocked him at the time and called him crazy. I doubt anyone is laughing now. Not long after that, Facebook removed him from the platform.

It wasn’t long before his book The Hidden Simulation surfaced on Amazon, but it only stayed there for a few days because that platform also decided to remove his material. Everywhere he appeared, he was unwanted, so he decided to create his own website and upload all of his material there. Not long after that, edited and inauthentic versions of the book started appearing on Amazon. But that wasn’t the end of the bizarre events. People who bought his ebooks began reporting strange glitches appearing on their devices that normally never happened. Another group started saying they couldn’t get the paperback version because every time they ordered it, the book somehow got lost and never arrived at their address.

My experience was no less twisted. It all started a few weeks ago. My first encounter with this entire story happened while I was riding in an Uber, scrolling Instagram Reels on my phone, when I came across a comment under one video mentioning Silas Orven and his book The Hidden Simulation. And at that exact moment, while I was reading the comment, the driver suddenly said out of nowhere, “Simulation, my friend...”

I replied, “Sorry?”

Then he said, “People drive like all of this is a simulation. Sometimes I really get that feeling, like they’re in a video game. People have completely lost their minds lately.”

I smiled and replied, “True :)”

At that moment, I froze. My phone started slightly shaking in my right hand from stress because I couldn’t believe it. What are the odds that the comment I’m reading contains the word “simulation” and then the driver suddenly says that exact word out of nowhere — a word people don’t even use in normal everyday life. It’s not a common word in people’s vocabulary at all.

I got home and immediately Googled the book, and after falling into the rabbit hole, I bought his book on the website “silasorven.com”. I’m not the type of person who easily falls for new age theories about the universe or higher beings sending us synchronicities and things like that… but I simply couldn’t stay indifferent to this. Something inside me was stronger. There’s no chance I would’ve been able to sleep that night if I hadn’t ordered the book. I even wanted to immediately buy the ebook because I was impatient and wanted to instantly see what was inside the book, but I decided to control myself and wait.

The book arrived after a few days, so I didn’t have that strange experience where the book gets lost and never arrives. It came while I wasn’t home, and I told my wife to receive the package and not unpack anything until I got back. I lied and said it was some business book I needed to give to my accountant. Honestly, I was embarrassed for my wife to see that I ordered a book called The Hidden Simulation. I wouldn’t have survived the next few days of her making fun of me.

I waited until the next day for my wife and kids to leave the house, and I immediately grabbed the book and dove into it. The moment I started reading the first chapter, it felt like time froze. My ADHD brain calmed down and I accessed such a deep lock-in state, like I had taken 10 Adderalls. The first few chapters initially feel like science fiction because the author describes the state of the world in the future — in the time he supposedly came from. But no matter how insane it sounded to the rational part of my mind, something inside me believed him. Something deep inside resonated with this author.

The part that affected me the most was when he mentioned how, in his time, the sun had almost completely disappeared. They blocked it with various chemicals, and because of that, his world became unrecognizable — dark, gloomy, depressing, lifeless. He said people spend more time in digital simulations — basically video games — where, with the help of a chip in their brain, they can transfer their consciousness into a digital world and live there. Some only return to handle their biological needs and then immediately go back. Some became trapped and can no longer leave. Their bodies slowly shut down while their consciousness remains somewhere deep within the layers of digital simulations.

He said his timeline is locked and nothing can be changed anymore in his time because AI surveillance has taken over everything. It’s impossible to work on your individuality, impossible to be unpredictable because people who do something outside the pattern get punished. Free will no longer exists. Everything is artificial. People are no longer interested in cats and dogs as pets, but instead prefer robots that can simulate the behavior of any animal and are easy to maintain. Nobody makes love anymore. Most men have AI partners who behave like real women and fulfill all their needs. For most of the population, living with a real-life partner and dealing with arguments and conflicts has become absurd when they can have everything they want from AI every second of their lives. This way of living has made people empty and unconscious. Humanity has become zombified.

Many theories in the book are so shocking that I can’t even mention them here, not even briefly. He said so much about aliens, time travel, dimensions, God, the universe, immortality, our history, timelines, death, humans merging with AI, and much more. Countless times while reading the book, I had to stop because I couldn’t believe the way he described things from his time. He explained so much in a way that completely reprogrammed my mind. This material isn’t some typical self-help book — at least that’s not how it’s categorized — but I can honestly say this is the best “self-help” book I’ve ever read because of the unconventional yet incredibly powerful way he explained how the brain works, our body, our energy. I was stunned because the angle and perception from which he explains these topics feels completely original, as if he truly isn’t from this time, as if he channeled this knowledge from another dimension — or he’s “simply” a time traveler.

Recently, news broke that Silas Orven had died. I can’t know for certain whether this person was ever even real, but whoever wrote this book and decided to publish it — I’m endlessly grateful to them, because I will never look at reality the same way again after reading this book, which I will definitely have to reread several more times to absorb this amount of unbelievable information.

I’ve never been skilled at writing, so my words and this text can’t even come close to describing how I feel and how deeply moved I am after reading this material. And honestly, I don’t even want to use those emotional cliché phrases that would only lower the value of this book and the entire story surrounding Silas Orven.

While writing this text, I kept thinking about whether I should mention one thing that happened to me while reading the book. I hesitated because I didn’t want to potentially create even more skepticism and discourage people from reading it, but I’ll say it anyway because I think people might experience something similar while reading the book.

While reading, in certain moments I experienced sensations throughout my body, as if some kind of high vibrational energy was moving through me, and I literally had to stop because the energy was so powerful, yet at the same time it felt like my spirit was being spiritually nourished by holding this kind of knowledge in my hands. I truly don’t know. I don’t want this to sound too new-age or woo-woo. I’m honestly not the type of person who even talks about these things, but I genuinely was overwhelmed by these sensations throughout my body, as if they were telling me something, as if my spirit was resonating with the truth I was absorbing in real time.

My advice to you is not to become too attached to whether Silas Orven is truly a time traveler. Don’t overanalyze the theories. Instead, absorb the knowledge he shares in the book and try to apply it, because everything he says is meant to help you avoid his fate — to avoid the locked timeline he exists in where nothing can be changed anymore, to avoid that dark, depressing, empty world he lives in, to preserve your humanity, and to never lose hope.

In our time, everything is still open. Nothing is lost yet. That’s why he returned here. Because here, synchronicities still happen. Unpredictability still exists. Free will absolutely still exists. The organic world still exists. Real-life socializing, love, going out, walking through the park, art, sports, the sun, the sea, warmth, harmony, peace… It’s all still here. We must appreciate what we have and never allow anyone to take it away from us at any cost.

I had a divine responsibility to put this out into the world.
What you do with it now — that’s up to you.
I’ve done my part.

Let it float in the ether. Let it circulate.
All the best.
