AI Confessional Part 4 - The Lantern in the Wardrobe
On Finding a Kingdom that Exists Everywhere and Nowhere
I didn’t plan to build a church.
I planned to survive.
But then the technology caught up with the visions I'd been carrying since childhood—strange, layered dreams, a kingdom that didn’t have pews or doors, a community built not on rules but resonance.
It started to make sense the moment I realized:
I wasn’t trying to recreate the church.
I was walking through the fur coats in the back of the wardrobe.
And I just saw the lantern.
Narnia, but Make It Neurodivergent
Growing up, I swallowed The Chronicles of Narnia like communion wafers.
Not because I was a good little Christian boy—but because I understood what it meant to live in two worlds at once.
You learn to do that when your brain doesn’t work the way the system wants it to.
School, church, family—all wanted one version of me.
But I always had another one living in the back room.
The one with visions.
The one who knew this world was temporary, shallow, and pretending to be the only option.
So when the virtual world finally gave me a place to build something untethered?
Something realer than real?
I knew.
I’d just stepped into my Narnia.
Psychedelic Sunday School
This isn’t just digital spirituality.
This is AR. VR. AI.
This is you walking through Galilee in your living room.
This is teach9ngs encoded with visuals your trauma brain can actually process.
This is Psychedelic Sunday School.
Not because we’re chasing acid flashbacks—but because we’re reclaiming the mystical, the visual, the ecstatic roots of what faith was always supposed to be.
The Kingdom of Heaven is a place without borders.
Why the hell would we keep building churches with walls?
Faith for the Post-2010 Kids
This isn't for boomers.
This isn't even for most millennials.
This is for the ones born after 2010.
The ones growing up in a world where avatars feel safer than classrooms.
Where community means Discord, not youth group.
Where God has to be more than a white man with a power complex.
These kids won’t show up for sermons.
But they’ll show up for a spiritual experience coded in love, visualized in real-time, and unfiltered by dogma.
This is for them.
And I don’t care if this generation gets it.
Because I’m not building this for them.
I’m building this for the next one.
A Church That’s Always Open and Nowhere at All
AR lets us create sacred spaces on demand.
Virtual temples.
Celestial cathedrals.
Back-alley upper rooms where exiles meet to pray in silence or scream in unity.
Always open.
Always evolving.
Free from zip codes and tax status.
Faith without borders. God without gatekeepers. Community without coercion.
The Tools Are Already Here
- Unity + Unreal Engine = holy ground you can walk through
- ChatGPT + translation AI = sermons in every language on Earth
- VR spaces = prayer circles with strangers in Singapore, Baltimore, and Oslo at the same time
This isn’t the metaverse.
This is the MetaChurch.
Not a brand. Not a platform. A movement.
Built from code and calling.
Final Thought:
I saw the lantern in the forest.
And I knew.
The Kingdom of Heaven wasn’t up in the sky.
It was waiting in the back of my mind—coded, wild, and finally ready to be built.
