The Outer Worlds: Peril On Gorgon doesn’t hinder the experiences of the base game; instead, it enhances this small corner of the universe with more grand adventures. I appreciated the dedication that went into writing the main campaign and found the side-missions to be just as crucial to piecing together the full narrative. There was an abundance of items and weirdly placed enemy encounters that didn’t completely flow with the events, but that didn’t take away from this fantastic space opera experience.

Peril on Gorgon plays it very safe, which may frustrate players who were looking for it to mix up the formula. For people like me though, who just wanted a reason to take control of the Unreliable once again and tear it across Halcion, this is exactly what you’re after.

Gorgon itself is beautiful in its desolation and it really is an absolute joy to come back to the Halcyon system. I love that its designed almost as a satire of serials – the most prevalent entertainment in the game – and you really do feel immersed in the moment to moment content, however, the narrative flopped for me. It was easy to see the major plot and themes early on in this “mystery” because we have seen it before in other media. It’s a shame because it does weigh down what is already an absolutely exemplary experience. Having jumped back into The Outer Worlds once again I’m excited to keep playing with my rag-tag crew and I look forward to the next adventure of the Unreliable.

The hours spent uncovering a science experiment gone wrong kept me invested, not to mention the sidestories that were also available — if I needed a break from dangerous drug labs I could track down documents from a reporter, assist a search party, break up an argument in a bar and more. Players who enjoyed The Outer Worlds and are itching for a reason to jump back in will find Peril on Gorgon a perfectly good reason to do so — just try to refresh your memory as best you can first.

Peril on Gorgon is a welcome addition to an already great game, that provides some solid, seven/eight hour-long adventuring for anyone wishing to dive back into some silly space jaunts. A meaty main story filled with gut-wrenching moral choices, fits very snugly into the already developed world. The most fun to be had however, as with the main experience, are the side quests. Getting to know Gorgon’s bizarre inhabitants really develops the world, and every personality encourages missions to be completed to their fullest. A great start to hopefully a lot of DLC to come.

The Outer Worlds’ first expansion fits quite neatly into the main game, not really changing it significantly but potentially having pretty big consequences in the aftermath of the events of main plot. The story is well written and interesting with its share of surprises, and dialogue is as witty and funny as ever. If more of The Outer Worlds is what you want, Peril on Gorgon is exactly that.

While Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon doesn’t introduce many new features to the game, it does offer more than enough for fans who are looking to venture back into this beautifully crafted world. The story leaves more to be desired, but still provides a solid and enjoyable experience that will certainly be a worth your time if you even remotely enjoyed the base game.

Perhaps our favourite thing about the expansion is that it gives your crew a little more room to breathe. A lot of new dialogue has been recorded for Peril on Gorgon, and your allies chime in throughout the DLC’s main quest, which lasts a reasonable six to eight hours or so.

It is wonderful to revisit the setting and characters of The Outer Worlds. But due to the way the expansion is nestled within the greater story, the admittedly entertaining and well-written adventure ultimately feels a bit hollow. Fans will enjoy hanging out with Parvati for a few hours – and some narrative twists keep things lively – but some changes or expansions to the gameplay would have been very welcome.

Fans of The Outer Worlds will be happy with Peril on Gorgon. However, for anyone else, fifteen dollars is far too steep of an asking price.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is a decent piece of DLC with some very significant flaws. Because the player needs to progress beyond a certain point, but the save file can’t be in the final stretch of the game, Peril is in a very awkward position. It is most suited for players who love the game and are looking for more. But chances are, they have to restart from scratch and replay a significant portion of the base game to even start. At that point, it might not be worth it.

Without being frankly unavoidable, as much because of its rather poor ancillary content as the low contribution of new features that it brings to the original game, Peril on Gorgon nevertheless remains solid in the story it tells.

The Outer Worlds: Peril On Gorgon is a story-driven DLC that offers some new (albeit) uninspired depth to the game’s lore. Some odd narrative reveal choices and lack of originality left me feeling unimpressed with the whole experience. Still, with solid combat, new locations and a chance to spend more time with your crew, Peril On Gorgon does flesh out the universe the Obsidian has worked to create.

The Outer Worlds was a fun series for 2019 but now feels incredibly dated just one year later. If you’re a fan of Obsidian Role-playing games like Fallout: New Vegas, there’s still a lot to enjoy between the harrowing storylines and corporate parody. Just don’t expect anything groundbreaking, as it’s mostly more of the same.

Peril on Gorgon feels like another Outer Worlds mission and while that may have been okay 6 months ago, it’s too little, too late now.

Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds — Akasha. Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds — Akasha.
This film, amazing in its content, can change your life, but only if you make some effort yourself.
To see the World in one grain of sand and the whole Cosmos in a forest blade of grass, to hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in a fleeting moment.
William Black
Someone needs to not only see or hear, but also read to understand better. Specially for you. Look. Read. Look into it. Perhaps the text will help you penetrate deeper into the topic or rise higher to Heaven.
In the beginning was the Logos, the Big Bang, the primordial OM.
Based on the Big Bang Theory, the physical universe unfolded from one unimaginably hot and dense point called a singularity, which is billions of times smaller than a pinhead. The theory does not explain why and how this happened. Despite the fact that it contains many questions, we somehow take our knowledge in this area for granted.
At first there was a hypothesis saying that gravity would either slow down the expansion or collapse the Universe. Be that as it may, but in fact, photographs from the American Hubble telescope show that the Universe is accelerating. As it grows out of the Big Bang, it expands faster and faster.
Modern physicists have discovered that there is more mass in the universe than they previously thought. To account for the missing mass, they now say that the universe is only 4% atomic matter, or what we call normal matter, 23% dark matter, and 73% dark energy, or what we used to think of as empty. space. It is like an invisible nervous system that permeates the entire universe and connects everything to each other.
Ancient Vedic Teachers used to say: “Nada Brahma” – “The Universe is a vibration”. The vibrational field is the root of all true spiritual experience and scientific inquiry. This is the same energy field that saints, Buddhas, yogis, mystics, priests, shamans and seers have observed, peering deep into themselves.
Throughout history, this field of energy has been called Akasha, the Primal Om, Indra’s Diamond Web, the Music of the Spheres, and many other names. It is the common root of all religions and the links between our inner and outer worlds.
In Mahayana Buddhism in the third century of our era, a description by cosmologists was given very close to that which is now given by the most advanced physicists of modern times. Indra’s Diamond Web is a metaphor that was used by the ancient Vedic teachings to describe how the fabrics of space in the universe are connected together.
Indra is the king of the gods, who gave birth to the Sun and controls the movement of winds and waters.
Imagine a web that extends in all directions. Its network is made up of dewdrops, and each drop contains a reflection of all other water droplets. In each reflected drop you will find the reflection of all the other drops, and the whole network itself is in this reflection ad infinitum.
Indra’s Network can be described as a holographic Universe, where even the smallest stream of Light contains a complete picture of the entire universe.
Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla is sometimes called the man who invented the twentieth century. Tesla discovered alternating current, electricity and many other things that are now an integral part of our daily lives. Because of his interest in Vedic culture, Tesla was in a unique position to understand Western and Eastern models of science simultaneously. Like all great scientists, Tesla looked deep into the mysteries of the outside world, but he also looked deep into himself. Like the ancient yogis, the scholar used the term Akasha to describe the ethereal essence that extends through all things. Tesla studied with Swami Vivekananda, a yogi who brought the ancient teachings of India to the West.
In the Vedic teachings, Akasha refers to the space itself, the space that all other elements fill and that exists simultaneously with vibration. These two concepts are inseparable. Akasha is yin, prana is yang.
The modern concept of the idea of fractals helps us to understand Akasha, or as it is also called — the primary substance. Since the 1980s, advances in computers have made it possible to visualize and reproduce the mathematical patterns of nature.
In 1980, the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot introduced the term «fractal» while studying certain mathematical equations.
A mathematician noticed that when equations are repeated, they produce an unending array of mathematical or geometric shapes that change within certain limits. They are limited, but at the same time, they are endless. A fractal is a rough geometric shape, which, when broken into parts, repeats with each of its parts, like a reduced copy of the entire pattern.
Thus, form has a quality called self-similarity. After this discovery, Maldelbrot’s fractals were called «the imprint of God.» In them we see art created by nature itself. If you turn the figure of Maldelbrot at a certain angle, then it will resemble a Hindu deity or Buddha. This figure was called the «Buddhabrot» figure.
If you look at some forms of ancient art and architecture, you can see that for a long time people associated beauty and everything sacred with fractal patterns.
Despite the fact that fractals are infinitely complex, nevertheless, in each of their parts they contain a grain capable of reproducing the complete picture. Fractals have changed the way mathematicians look at the universe and how it works. With each new level of increase in the fractal, its difference from the original appears. When a fractal moves from one level to another, constant changes and transformation occur. This transformation is called the cosmic spiral — the built-in intelligence of the matrix of temporal space.
The nature of the fractal is chaotic and at the same time filled with sound order. When our mind recognizes or defines some kind of pattern — a template, then we focus on it as on a thing. In his drawings, we try to see the beauty, but in order to keep him in our minds, we must discard the rest of the fractal. In order to relate a fractal to our feelings, we must limit its movement.
All energy in the Universe is neutral, eternal and exists beyond dimensions. Our own ability to create and recognize patterns is the link between the microcosm and the macrocosm, between the eternal world of waves and the world of perishable dense things. Contemplation is the act of creation through the limitations inherent in thinking. We create the illusion of solidity in things by labeling them and giving them names.
The philosopher Kierkegaard said: “By naming me, you negate me. By giving me a name or a label, you negate everything else that I could potentially be.»
We imprison the particle in being by pinning it, naming it, but at the same time we create it by defining its existence.
Creativity is our highest nature. With the creation of dense matter, the concept of time appears, which creates the illusion of density.
Einstein was the first scientist to realize that empty space is NOTHING at all. On the contrary, it has certain properties and an almost incredible amount of energy inherent in the nature of space.
Renowned physicist Richard Feynman once remarked, «There is enough energy in a cubic meter of empty space to boil all the world’s oceans.»
Advanced meditators know that there is great power in stillness.
The Buddha had another term for the primary substance — «kalapas», which is a collection of tiny particles and surges that are born and die trillions of times per second. In this case, reality is like a series of holographic camera frames moving very fast to create the illusion of continuity.
When the consciousness becomes absolutely immobile, the illusion is revealed, this happens precisely because the Consciousness itself creates this illusion.
The Ancient traditions of the East still preserve the Knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. It says that everything is vibration. The expression «Nada Brahma» is translated as «the Universe is sound. » The word «Nada» means «sound» or «vibration» and «Brahma» is the name of God. «Brahma» is both the Universe and the Creator, just as the artist and his art are inseparable.
In the Upanishads, one of the oldest human records of ancient India, it is said: “Brahma, the creator, sitting on a lotus, opens his eyes, and the world comes into being. Brahma closes his eyes and the world leaves the state of being.
Ancient mystics, yogis and seers claimed that there is a field at the deepest level of consciousness. It is the Akashic field or the Akashic records containing all information, all experience, past, present and future. Akasha was, is and will exist forever. From this field or matrix, everything emerges from subatomic particles to galaxies, stars, planets and all life. But you will never see anything in its entirety just because the field consists of layers of vibrations, where one layer follows another and the field is constantly changing, exchanging information with Akasha.
Wood consumes energy from the sun, air, rain and earth. Energy moves in and out of this phenomenon, which we call a tree. When the thinking mind is still, one can see reality as it is, all aspects together. Wood and sky and earth, rain and stars are inseparable. Life and death, me and other people, are inseparable. Like a mountain and a valley, they are inseparable.
In the traditions of the American Indians and in other indigenous national traditions of the Earth, there is a mention that Everything Has a Spirit. It’s just another way of saying that everything is connected to a single source of vibration, there is one consciousness, one field, one force that moves absolutely through everything. This field does not exist around you; it exists passing through you, it exists as you. You are an important part of the universe. You are the eyes through which creation sees itself.
When you wake up from a dream, you realize that everything that was in the dream was you and you yourself created it. The so-called «real life» is no different in essence. Everything and everything is you. One consciousness looks out through each eye, under each stone, into each particle.
International researchers at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, are looking for this field that extends through all being. But instead of looking for it within, they look outward, into the outer physical world. Swiss researchers at CERN’s Geneva lab announced they have found the Higgs boson, or God particle. The Higgs boson experiment has scientifically confirmed that an invisible energy field fills the vacuum of space.
The CERN Large Hadron Collider is a 27-kilometer-long tunnel closed by a ring in which two proton beams accelerate in opposite directions at a speed close to the speed of light. Then they collide and collapse, scientists observe the result of these violent collisions. The Standard Model cannot describe where elementary particles get their mass from.
Everything seems to emerge from vibration, but there is no «object» that vibrates. It is as if there is an invisible dancer or shadow dancing in disguise in the ballet of the universe; and all the other dancers who always danced around this hidden soloist.
We are watching the choreography of the dance, but so far we have not been able to see the dancer himself.
The so-called «God particle» is a property of the basic material of the Universe, the heart of all matter, which is considered to be responsible for the inexplicable amount of mass and energy that expands our Universe.
But far from explaining the nature of the entire universe, the discovery of the Higgs boson brings to our attention a great mystery, revealing to us a new universe, even more mysterious than we could previously imagine.
Science is approaching the threshold between consciousness and matter. The eyes with which we look at the primary field and the eyes with which this field looks at us are one and the same.
The German writer and luminary Wolfgang von Goethe once said: “The wave is the primary phenomenon that gave birth to the whole world. ”
«Cymatics» is the science that studies the audible sound. The word ‘cymatics’ comes from the Greek word ‘kima’ which means vibration.
One of the first Western scientists to seriously study wave phenomena was Ernst Chladni, a German musician and physicist who lived in the eighteenth century. Chladni discovered that when he spreads sand over a metal plate and why he makes it vibrate with a violin bow, then the sand organizes itself into certain patterns. Different geometric shapes arise from different vibrations. Chladni wrote down a whole catalog of these forms and they are now called Chladni Figures. Many of these figures can be found in nature. For example, a pattern on a tortoise shell or spots on a leopard skin. The study of Chladni figures, or cymatic patterns, is one of the secrets by which high-quality guitar, violin and other musical instrument makers determine sound quality.
In the 1960s, Hans Jenny expanded on Chladni’s work, using various fluids and electronic amplifiers to generate various audio frequencies. He also coined the term «cymatics».
If you pass an ordinary sine wave through a plate of water, you will see a pattern right on the water. Depending on the frequency of the waves, different ripple images will appear. The higher the frequency, the more complex the patterns become. These forms are repetitive and by no means random. Vibration organizes matter into complex forms derived from simple and repetitive waves. (This water vibration is like a sunflower.)
By changing just the frequency of the sound, we get a completely different pattern of the pattern.
Water is a very mysterious substance that is very easily influenced by external influences. An example is that water can receive and retain vibration. Due to its high resonant capacitance, sensitivity and internal readiness for resonance, water responds instantly to all types of sound waves.
The vibrations of water and earth produce a huge mass of plants and animals. It is interesting to observe how simple vibrations in water give rise to easily recognizable natural patterns. And if we add solid matter and increase the amplitude, things get even more interesting. For example, by adding cornstarch to water, we get a more complex phenomenon. Perhaps the very principle of life can be observed in the way that vibrations turn a drop of cornstarch into something that can be called a living organism.
The driving principle of the universe is described in each of the world’s religions using words that reflect the understanding of people in a given historical period of time.
In the language of the Incas, the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, the word for «human body» sounds like «alpa camasca», which literally means «animated earth».
The Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical teaching, speaks of the Divine Name of God. A name that cannot be pronounced. It cannot be spoken because it is a vibration that is present everywhere: in every word, in all matter. Absolutely everything is this Sacred Word.
The tetrahedron is the simplest shape that can exist in three dimensions. It is necessary to have at least four points in order to have physical reality; it is worth remembering that only a triangle is the most stable and self-stabilizing figure.
In the Old Testament, the word «tetragrammaton» was often used to represent a specific manifestation of God. It was used when talking about God, the special name of God — the Logos or the Primal Word.
Ancient civilizations knew that the tetrahedral form lies at the root of the structure of the universe. From this form, nature begins its fundamental movement towards balance — towards Shiva. But at the same time, she has another fundamental movement towards change — towards Shakti.
In the Bible, in the Gospel of John, it says: «In the beginning was the Word.» But the original text used a different term, Logos. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who lived about 500 years before the birth of Christ, described the Logos as something fundamentally unknowable, the source of all repetition, patterns and forms. Stoic philosophers who followed the teachings of Heraclitus defined the term as a divine and motive principle that pervaded the entire universe. Sufism says that the Logos is everywhere and in everything. It is THAT from which everything unmanifest becomes manifest.
In the Hindu tradition, Shiva Nataraji literally means «Lord of the Dance». The whole cosmos dances while Shiva beats the drum. Everything is permeated or animated by pulsation. Only while Shiva is dancing, the world can change and evolve, otherwise it will collapse into Nothingness. Shiva represents our contemplative Consciousness, and Shakti represents the Essence, or the Matter of the World. While Shiva is in meditation, Shakti tries to move him to make him dance. Just like Yin and Yang, the dancer and the dance exist as one.
Logos also means manifested truth. He who understands the Logos knows the Truth. There are many hidden layers in the human world as the Akasha is wrapped up in many complex structures while hiding the Source from itself.
As if playing the divine game of hide and seek, we hide from ourselves for thousands of years, eventually completely forgetting about the game itself. We seem to have forgotten that there is something to be found.
In Buddhism, students are taught to directly perceive the Logos — the field of change or impermanence within themselves, through meditation. When you observe your inner world, you begin to notice more and more subtle feelings and energies; as your mind becomes more concentrated and focused. Through the direct realization of ‘annika’ or impermanence at the basic level of perception, one becomes free from attachment to external changing forms.
After we realize that there is only one vibrational field, which is the common root of all religions, how can we say: «my religion», «my original Om», «my quantum field»?
The real crisis in our world is far from social, political or economic. Our crisis is a crisis of Consciousness, an inability to directly experience our true nature; the inability to see this nature in each of us and in everything.
In the Buddhist tradition, a «Bodhisattva» is a person who has awakened his Buddha nature. The Bodhisattva vows to help «wake up» every being in the universe, realizing that there is only one consciousness.
To awaken one’s real Self, a person must awaken all living beings:
“There are countless living beings in the universe, and I vow to awaken them all. My shortcomings are inexhaustible. I vow to overcome them all. Dharma is unknowable. I vow to know her. The path of awakening is unattainable. I vow to achieve it.»

documentaries / Advaita World
A magnificent scientific and spiritual educational film, consisting of four series (parts). A beautiful video series is accompanied by a beautiful text about how our world works. The discoveries of scientists coincide with descriptions from the ancient texts of India, Ancient Egypt, runic drawings of Northern Europe and the mythology of the American Indians.
The film will be of interest to all people who live not only for the sake of consuming food and things. «Physicists» and «lyricists», Christians and Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus will see in this video a lot of interesting facts generalizing all religions.
The first part is called Akasha.
“To see the world in one grain of sand and the whole cosmos in a forest blade of grass. To fit infinity in the palm of your hand and in a fleeting moment — Eternity. (-William Blake).
You are observing the principle of how sound forms various structures of matter… Fractals are woven into a single pattern of all beings in the Universe… One Consciousness is a vibrating information and energy field… What did various priests, spiritual seers, mystics, yogis, shamans find, peering into the depths of themselves ?. .
The real crisis in our society is far from being social, political or economic. Our crisis is a crisis of consciousness. An inability to feel directly our true nature. Failure to see this nature in each of us and in all things.
The second part is called «Spiral».
We see that the Universe is arranged in an amazing way, but our limited mind is not able to comprehend the mysterious Force that moves the constellations …
Every scientist or spiritual mystic who is looking for answers to their questions sooner or later comes to the same thing — to the original Spiral … What is in common between a head of broccoli and an arm of the cosmic galaxy? — Logarithmic spirals… Archetypal energy swirls… Life dances in spirals… Nature is precise and very efficient…
The third part is «The Serpent and the Lotus». It tells about the balance between inner and outer, between Yin and Yang, between spiraling continuous changes and calmness in the center of our being. The phenomenon of the pineal gland of the brain. Why is there a giant pinecone statue in the Vatican? What does she symbolize? Why were dolmens built? What does a halo around the head mean in the images of saints? Why do monks practice celibacy?
