Space has long tickled the curiosity of humans, especially astronomers, artists, and enthusiasts of the unexplored landscapes that house the planets, stars, supernovas, and other celestial bodies. The cosmos, which holds billions and trillions of mysteries, inspired Lijie Zhu, Harri Laitinen, and Seda Hewitt to create icMercury, or what they dub a Personal Messenger to Space.
Each cosmic journey is unique. Stepping into the icMercury realm is filled with unpredictability, where new insights and wisdom await behind every star and black hole. If there’s one thing the founders of icMercury guarantee, it’s the promise of enlightenment and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore the Universe’s essence with a celestial guide by their side.
This spectacular notion of blending curiosity, cosmic exploration, and magic emerged from the peculiar experiences that sparked Lijie, Harri, and Seda’s passion for decoding the secrets of the stars. The three seemingly ordinary individuals with extraordinary visions came together despite the obstacles of distance and language to bring the mysteries of space closer to home.
Harri is an experienced professional in automation and electrical design. He utilizes his decades of experience and novel thinking to elevate the icMercury platform. His journey to understanding the mysteries of the Universe was long and complex, literally and metaphorically representing death and rebirth.
A catastrophic explosion altered Harri’s life. One moment he was busily working at a local power station, then fire and debris was engulfing him the next. The resilient individual says he felt reborn: “Everything that happened is still vivid in my mind. I knew then and there I should’ve been dead, but I’m still here breathing, feeling, and bleeding.”
Harri underwent surgery later on, where a space-tech chip was implanted into his cornea. His bionic eye made him see the world differently, as it allowed him to perceive energy waves as well as the glowing colors of people’s aura. When he saw the Northern Lights for the first time in Finland, where he grew up with long winters and clear skies, he was blown away. The green Aurora Borealis made him all the more interested in space and energy.
Seda’s otherworldly fascination started when she was still a mere child. Her mother teased her for her ability to change her color, which prompted her to embrace being “the child from outer space.” The description is fitting, given the business development expert’s strange childhood memory, which she thinks is an interdimensional experience.
A five-year-old Seda was visiting a relative when she got distracted by a stray cat. She followed the feline, and it took only one blink before she saw herself standing in a desert. She remembers an old woman and a child inviting her into their tent and when it was time to go back, she realized that her family was worried sick. Hours had passed when it only felt like minutes to her.
Lijie’s obsession with the cosmos is because of her curiosity about everything and anything, always in the pursuit of knowledge. “People always ask, ‘Why do we even send satellites into space?’ It surprises me that this is even a question. It’s only natural to know what’s out there, and satellites help us know more about the Universe and expand our consciousness,” Lijie remarks.
Lijie exploring dimensions and portals and unearthing hidden knowledge made her realize that everything seemingly impossible can turn into reality through faith. In fact, while studying the Universe and Fibonacci’s Golden Ratio as a former atheist, she suddenly felt and dreamt of God’s holy presence. This experience planted in her a seed of faith she never thought she’d have.
Lijie’s work with icMercury has only strengthened her belief that nothing is unattainable. She’s filled with hope and dreams of one day possessing the power to heal. This desire stems from a memory from childhood where she watched her father, a doctor, use his skills to save lives, whether human, animal, or plant. It was his tribute to the sanctity of life on Earth.
Essentially, ordinary people with extraordinary experiences connect the founders of icMercury. This Personal Messenger to Space was founded to connect humanity with the cosmos, allowing individuals to send messages and even satellites into the unknown.
“Many still doubt the existence of extraterrestrial beings, but the emotions we experience during discovery matter. I think that’s what truly matters,” Lijie reflects. “We didn’t establish icMercury to just show our expertise or deepen earthly divides,” Seda adds. “We created it to demonstrate that while we have different stories, we can come to piece together the bigger picture.”
Harri concludes, “icMercury is about ordinary Earthlings. Each has their own challenges and perspectives. Still, they share a common goal of discerning the profound connection between humanity and the Universe. They may not know how to channel life energy for better cosmic experiences, and that’s where icMercury comes in—to make that connection easier.”
