    If it is not a stretch of the imagination then it's a done deal.

    Welcome to your virtual world complete with virtual consequences.

    I am numbed by all of this, Speechlees. They keep selling the idea that we really want-need to be one with a machine. And the thought of just being a program in a game is just as terrifing- astonishing, and so... does this matter anyway? If we are bits in a program, who is enjoying the game? What is the purpose? Just to be? We are aware, aren't we? So awareness can be programed also... I think, therefore I am? So, enjoy the ride cause this is only what we know or don't. Damn, this is hard to grasp! I have feelings, but it only means that it is also in the program, ha ha ha! They are sure pushing hard. Still I want to believe I am spirit and there is nothing that can change, manage or damage me.

    Simulated, programmed and virtual reality theories abound, so there are many ways to think about it. If we are in a simulation, it does not necessarily mean that our consciousness emerged in the program. Some theorists, including Tom Campbell, try to explain it terms of how we play video games. For instance, in a video game, we take on avatars; it's not the real us. The real us is outside of the game reality; it is playing the game. It does mean we are in a video game as we now understand those games to be. It could be something far more evolved or sophisticated.

    Here is an article that discusses a few simulated theories that have received attention: Who Is God?, published on The Universe-Solved blog.

    I was not sure where to post this video because it covers different topics, such as sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick and retrocausality. But its underlying theme is how Dick interpreted the universe, which is as a computer simulated reality.

    An interesting point the presenter makes relates to Anthony Peake, who wrote a book on Philip K. Dick, called "A Life of Philip K. Dick: The Man Who Remembered the Future," published in 2013. The video points out that Dick may have predicted (or perhaps it's an instance of retrocausaility) Peake in his short story "Your Appointment Will Be Yesterday." The story's plot involves "reverse time" (most of what humans do in the story is in reverse) and stars a character by the name of Anarch Peak.

    The video also covers a passage or two from Dick's How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later. If you have not read it, it's a very short and interesting read.

    The video runs approx. 25 mins.

    I would like to think so. And no, I do not want to see any of them. I don't think it would be of any service to anyone that I did. Ha ha, hell no! Spare me the "nice" experience. He he.

    Here is a long video (1h 50m) of Anthony Peake talking about consciousness, time, déjā vu, déjā vécu (already lived), dreams, precognition, near death experiences and the holographic nature of reality. MHO the click-bait title of the video does not do it credit. I found this video and Anthony Peake fascinating. Anthony covers a variety of subjects in this talk and along the way draws comparisons between the holographic nature of reality and Saṃsāra. I hope this thread is the right home for it

    YouTube - Anthony Peake - Astounding Life After Death Discoveries That May Surprise You

    Quote Posted by YouTube Video Description
    Astounding Life After Death Discoveries That May Surprise You [FULL VIDEO]
    Truly groundbreaking discoveries on what happens when we die, Some of the amazing scientific discoveries that are outlined, and how they relate to subjects such as telepathy, deja vu and NDE.will expand your awareness and help you think outside of the box, this video is a definite must watch. The argument that we cheat death and keep coming back through what philosophers have dubbed; 'eternal recurrence', is persuasive! And its backed up using the latest scientific research from across the board.

    Consciousness researcher Anthony Peake asks whether there can ever be a scientifically satisfactory explanation as to what may happen to human consciousness at the point of death? Anthony believes there can. Using the latest evidence from the fields of quantum physics, neurology, consciousness studies and psychology, he proposes an intriguing and totally original theory.

    Peake's basic principals are still flawed due to his staunch dogmatic approach to the working of the human brain. He does not recognize the human spirit and sees past life memories as simply tapping in to alternative dimensions that are happening to our alternate selves in another universe. He is wrong. And although he sees himself as a bit fringe, he is still, in my opinion, very much caught up in the mainstream mental health mentality matrix. He is wrong as well about Deja vu. I have personal experiences that negate his premature authoritarian stance. I'm sure a lot of other people do too.

    Anyway, I started to consider the virtual matrix thing when I did high school Biology. Remember when you had to look at what an Atom was made of and at it's core it was just vibrating energy? That was when I realized we were more or less virtual. Made solid simply by our perception of the frequency of our vibration. And the Quantum theory that something only existed when we observe it.

    Then, while doing a past life regression on a friend, their "Guide" that they had wanted to contact, began to talk through my friend. I asked it if we were in a game, a virtual reality. It said we were not a game and we were real. I knew it was lying. I felt it was not who it said it was and was part of the NEO type Matrix, or one of those at the controls rather like in the Hunger Games.

    The spiritual, religious and scientific are all belief systems, basically we could say it is all science or it is all religion.
    Science says it is based on measurable, concrete proof, but the basic assumptions behind scientific experiments must be questioned too.

    If the assumption that 'consciousness is property of the body' isn't questioned then the theory, that we might be trapped inside a machine makes logical sense.
    If the assumption is false the conclusion will be false also.

    Default Re: Is our Universe a Computer Simulation?

    [EDIT: I was not happy with my initial post on this topic, so I have re-written it...]

    Currently my perspective is that we are not living in a computer simulated universe because I believe that creation is infinite and infinitely intelligent, in such a depth of intelligence you don't need any form of technical solution, device or similar to narrow down/shrink its total creation capacity.

    The concept of a computer or anything similar quickly breaks down and dissolves.

    Instead, I believe each one of us is a spirit with an absolute love vibration that God has attached to a matching reality.

    In that reality we are subject to seeds of God.

    Out of this process of being subject to seeds of God, our subjectivity is formed and leads to co-creation.

    God plants seeds of love out of infinite unconditional absolute love. This process is infinitely intelligent.

    As spiritual beings we are able to explore and discover various subjectivities. In this process we can begin to become aware that the fabric of creation is love and we can begin to witness the influence of love on what we experience.

    In the process of witnessing the power of love, we learn love and become more and more love aware.

    We begin to also understand the gifts of love and how to let ourselves be subjected by them.

    This is a frequency altering process in which the absolute love frequency of our spirit is tuned. In this frequency alignment process there is some amount of absolute love released back to God.

    This forms intelligent threads of love between the being and God. God can seed all of these threads with exactly what is needed for the combination to be perfect.

    In this process of shaping the subjectivity by what we are subjected by, we can begin to understand the correlations that exist between our choices and the corresponding life path.

    Hence, the spiritual journey is kind of like being on a highway on which one can decide on which lane to drive.

    I think the highway is probably pre-selected before embarking on a new life, but the lanes we choose might not be.

    It is important to understand the difference between having been subjected by something/someone and not. That is an opportunity of appreciation.

    It is also very important to understand that the seeds in your reality are there for you, unconditionally. The seeds of God in your reality are miracles of love. Find ways of making these seeds of love more permanent in your life and understand the miracle of being able to.

    On the journey of spiritually reaching higher and higher levels of absolute love, we can reach subjectivity completion together with our soulmate to release that particular subjectivity we co-created.

    From a human perspective it is our highest dream come true, but from the greater perspective it holds too much limitation, the spirit that has formed from the two of you is now ready to move into a higher realm of existence where a less limited subjectivity is able to form.

    My vote is that we are.We already have the tech to create quasi-believable universes with VR. How long before we can create totally believable worlds? 30 years max before it becomes public domain? Could be much sooner. They probably already have this tech in the secret world.

    15-20 years ago The Matrix was a cool sci-fi flick. Now simulacrum theory is close to mainstream. Slightly off-topic, but what will we be saying about Jupiter Ascending in 20 years?

    The fake interior shots of the ISS (green screens + hairspray) are the nearest smoking gun evidence we have of a stage managed environment.

    From personal experience I have had several 'strangers' approach me and tell me that my name is X in the other world, and my job is Y. Their accounts were consistent. I still cannot get over that, even 8 years later. I'm not claiming this dual-life is unique to myself. Most everyone is experiencing it.
