The Harbinger
Halloween isn’t just about costumes, candy, and carving pumpkins. It’s a celebration of transition—the turning of light into dark, summer into winter, life into death. As a result, this year, that symbolism carries a cosmic reflection. Moreover, as you read this, an interstellar visitor named 3I/ATLAS is reaching its closest point to the Sun—right now, this Halloween weekend, October 29–30, 2025—hovering about 1.36 AU between Earth and Mars.
This isn’t a coincidence; it’s synchronicity. As the veil thins between worlds, we’re witnessing a messenger glide through our Solar System—a sign that the boundaries between science, consciousness, and myth are thinning too.
Astronomers confirmed earlier this year that 3I/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object ever observed, following 1I/Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. The name “ATLAS” comes from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, a telescope project
built to spot potential impactors long before they arrive. Likewise, in mythology, Atlas was the Titan who held up the heavens; in this modern chapter, ATLAS holds open our gaze toward them.
Defying the Rules
NASA’s latest observations show a CO₂-dominated coma, a ratio nearly eight times that of water—a chemistry that doesn’t fit our known models. Consequently, scientists say it behaves more like something born beyond the frost line of another star system.
As it races through the void, its trajectory defies gravitational expectations, like a cosmic reminder that some things exist simply to show us that our rules are incomplete. For example, I explained in Energy vs. Matter, even the most physical laws yield to the higher order of energy and frequency—a truth 3I/ATLAS seems to embody. To be clear, this object (not a comet) is, according to scientific study, at least 3.5 to 20 miles long. The average comet is about the size of a football field.
In addition, some researchers suggest that the presence of nickel without iron could indicate an engineered or non-natural material, hinting at technology rather than geology. So, this challenges the boundaries of what we call “natural,” inviting us to reconsider whether intelligence itself might be at play with 3I/Atlas.
Lastly, the exceptionally high CO₂-to-H₂O ratio in 3I/ATLAS shows that this traveler carries the essential ingredients for organic chemistry—the same carbon and water foundations that make biological life possible. And, oh, it is ejecting this substance into space—a literal outflow of the elements of life itself—reminding us that creation never stops. And neither does new information.
Mirror for human Shift
And that, my friends, is where this visitor stops being just science and starts being a mirror. Specifically, in one of my recent blogs, What Are We Doing?, I wrote about the cycles of transition—the way humanity moves between seasons of awareness. Similarly, 3I/ATLAS arrives as an echo of that very message. It’s not here to destroy or warn; it’s here to reflect who we’ve become. We’re living through the same kind of shift that the comet itself represents: a movement beyond orbit, beyond the known.
Ultimately, this Halloween, as 3I/ATLAS sweeps past the Sun, the symbolism couldn’t be clearer. The day that celebrates the boundary between life and death now mirrors the boundary between old and new systems. The “harvest” isn’t crops—it’s consciousness.
Captured by Hubble on July 21, 2025, this short animation shows 3I/ATLAS streaking across the stars in just two minutes—proof of its incredible speed as it races through our Solar System from another star. The stars blur while the comet stays sharp because Hubble tracked its motion, revealing just how fast and unbound this visitor truly is. Every pixel shift reminds us that we’re watching something that doesn’t belong here—a messenger moving faster than our understanding, challenging what we think we know about the universe.
Sky Atlas
In 1957, Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged, where Atlas—the titan of innovation and independent thought—finally releases the weight of a world built on dependency and control. Decades later, in 2025, the cosmos has written its sequel.
Just as Rand’s Atlas shrugged off the burden of broken systems, 3I/ATLAS shrugs off the gravitational pull of any sun. It moves freely through space, unbound and self-directed, refusing to conform to the expectations of scientists who demand it behave like every other comet we’ve ever catalogued. In the same way, Rand’s Atlas represented the inventor who refused to be enslaved by mediocrity or collectivism.
Just as I wrote in You Are Pure Energy!, freedom begins when we remember that energy itself cannot be contained—it only evolves.
Therefore, in 3I/ATLAS, we see a mirror inversion—not rebellion from one human mind, but a messenger from the cosmos itself, showing us that consciousness evolves by breaking the orbit of conformity.
Dying Systems
Here’s the truth that both the novel and the comet whisper: the old systems aren’t dying—they’re already dead. Indeed, our governments, our money, our schooling models—they are the echoes of a frequency that no longer exists. We’re watching them twitch, not thrive.
Consequently, 3I/ATLAS, arriving on the weekend of Halloween—the season of endings and rebirths—reminds us that it’s not about fighting to fix what’s broken. It’s about realizing that the old world has already released its grip.
Moving Freely
The trick is believing the old can still be saved.
The treat is realizing we no longer need it.
Likewise, like Rand’s Atlas, we are being invited to let go—to shrug off the illusion that power lies outside of us. This is the evolution of consciousness itself: a shift from systems of control to states of awareness.
Therefore, in this light, 3I/ATLAS isn’t an anomaly—it’s a teacher. It shows us how to move with freedom through the universe, guided not by fear but by resonance.
Lifting the Mask
Halloween has always symbolized the thinning of the veil—the moment when spirits, ancestors, and the unseen cross into our world. It was the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the harvest’s end and the beginning of a new cycle. Historically, this day represented not fear but renewal.
This year, the metaphor has never been more vivid. The old energy—fear, lack, and limitation—is the ghost haunting humanity. Meanwhile, the new energy—freedom, consciousness, and creation—is being born. 3I/ATLAS just happens to light that boundary in the sky.
As a result, as the night deepens, remember: every death is an invitation. Every ending is an opening. Every “trick” life plays on you hides a “treat” waiting to be unwrapped through awareness.
A Choiceless choice
Tonight, the stars are giving us a choice. We can stay and fight for the fading systems of control—or we can lift our gaze, like 3I/ATLAS, and move beyond them. At the same time, the unknown is not our enemy. It’s our next home.
Likewise, this mirrors the idea from Time Travel and the Paradox of Choice, where every decision creates a new timeline—a reminder that our next world forms the moment we choose differently.
Consequently, when we shift our STATE of being from fear to creation, we mirror the comet’s own freedom. 3I/ATLAS doesn’t struggle to escape gravity—it simply vibrates beyond it. That’s what awakening looks like. In conclusion, not rebellion. Resonance.
Empowered
As you stand beneath the Halloween sky, take a breath. Somewhere between the constellations, a traveler from another star is passing by—unbound, luminous, and free. Thus, let that vision remind you that you are, too.
Reality is not a trick. Consciousness is the treat.
Happy Halloween, my spirited companions.
May you shrug off the weight of the old world and rise into the light of your own creation. If you don't, someone else will gladly take your place.
