The Story
Gear, born in 1960 in Iceland, experienced a near-death event at age 20 after falling four stories from a window onto concrete. This accident left him comatose for 10 days in intensive care. During the fall, time slowed, and he stayed conscious until reaching the hospital, where he chose to lose awareness. In the coma, he entered a timeless space and saw a vast wall that formed the universe. Interconnected symbols and lines appeared as the structure of his mind, like a tree with roots in awareness and branches in thoughts. A voiceless whisper from the branches revealed that words and thoughts create human reality. The tree symbolized the word 'I,' the root of consciousness, showing one shared self for all people. After recovery, Gear studied computer science and worked in IT. He devoted free time to researching religions, myths, and biblical metaphors, linking them to his experience. In 2013, he moved to Canada, married, and authored 'I Is God: The Journey Begins,' exploring spiritual insights.
