Quoting: LucyAnna If this is a legitimate potential, do you think that it is more likely that we are IN the simulation or we are OF the simulation. Are we existing in an outside base reality and entering in this experience, or are we programmed into the reality and a part of it? I think, on a personal level, that there is in fact a "simulation", a "matrix", but, that it is not something programmed, not a computer or whatever within which the entire universe is simulated, as such, but rather something we are doing ourselves, on an individual basis, that our experience of experiences occurs in this simulated space and is pure illusion. That being said, this self that we would think we are, this is actually just another part of the simulation, something else you are experiencing. No experiences can be you.

Are we existing in an outside base reality and entering in this experience, or are we programmed into the reality and a part of it? The more advanced our tech gets, the more likely it becomes that we are living in a simulation. We're in the beginning of a simulation creating campaign. We have viritual reality devices which will only continue to become more realistic. They WILL tap into our nervous system to provide very real experiences in a digital, virtual world. With this possibility already guaranteed to be realistic, it's almost UNLIKELY that our reality isn't a simulation. But lets think about it. The Universe is a large ball of undivided energy. The energy itself is coded, similar to a computer, to allow our reality to appear and behave certain ways. Nothing here can exist without pre-existing information woven within the fabrics of the Universe allowing for it to exist as it does. THAT IS THE EXACT SAME WAY A COMPUTER WORKS. So, even if the Universe is a natural entity, either way the background information of our reality -compared to a simulated reality exactly like ours- would have the exact same information coded within the fibers of that reality, making it indistinguishable from our reality. Crazy to think about but I feel it's pretty legit. Last Edited by Layers of Reality on 01/18/2018 10:26 AM |

We are all extensions of the Universe, making us as much ourselves as we are anything else. When it comes to it, I am as much me as I am that chair you're next to, because everything exists as 1 body of energy. We look like we're separate entities, but we are extensions of the same one. |

We are perhaps like.. a bowl of water, in which someone twirls his fingers around to make pretty swirls.. So then we think we're the swirl, separate from the water, but really it's just the water, obviously, moving around in different streams.. The only thing that does not compute is that we are also this "thing" experiencing experiences.. this observation of reality that collapses the quantum probability states into apparent realness? Some such! LTC: Li9AgUVbapPLuqncJaRC5wDQ7HNg69rjkH |

I have a deep feeling that, yes, everything is a simulation, but everything is within. There is no out there. Even the universe is within. I project what I see in my reality by what I believe is true for me. For several years I've been encouraging anyone who will listen to examine what they believe and why they believe it. If they hold any belief that carries a negative outcome for them self or any other person to discard that belief. Only believe what you want to be true. Stop negativity in it's tracks. Discard all fear. Reality is fluid, morphs as we change and always is a perfect match for what we believe. Anything IS possible! |

Each experiences exactly what they believe as there reality. For instance: Do you believe in disease? Do you believe in wellness? Do you believe in death? Do you believe in life? Do you believe in poverty? Do you believe in abundance? What do you fear? Fear creates the experience that you are fearful of. (Job said, "my worst fear has come upon me") Life experience is a perfect match, always. No matter what you truly believe you WILL have evidence to prove it to yourself, always. Thoughts create experience.....always. |
