    Starting at 06:26 the narrator of the video said Philip's experiences started just after he had dental surgery. After that a delivery girl came to his door and she was wearing a Christian fish symbol around her neck. A pink light reflected off of it giving him visions in what he called structured knowledge. He believes he was living two lives one in Los Angeles in 1974 and the other in 1st century Rome where he was a persecuted Christian slave. It seems that technology is used by benevolent and malevolent groups. David Wilcock said he was falling and in the time it took him to hit the ground he was out of his body and lived a completely other life somewhere else. Tony Rodrigues the author of Ceres Colony Cavalier wrote they'll punish people who violate the twenty and back rules by making them live a miserable existence for a thousand years then return them to the present.

    • I’ll Prove It - THE SIMULATION IS REAL:

    This is the simulation you already live inside of—and you’ve been breathing it like oxygen since the day you were born.

    In this video, we expose the invisible machinery beneath modern life—how symbols have replaced truth, how marketing has replaced meaning, and how our desires are manufactured by the very system that feeds on them. Drawing from the work of Jean Baudrillard and the hidden mechanisms of simulacra, we walk you through 10 real-life “glitches” that reveal the truth:
    • Why your food is rendered, not real
    • How social media replaced memory
    • Why you take photos of things you never actually see
    • And why even your “rebellion” is likely pre-approved

    • Nobel Prize Just Given for Proving the Universe Isn't Real!:

    What if everything you see, feel, and experience isn’t the real world at all, but instead a meticulously rendered simulation? In this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, we dive deep into one of the most mind-bending questions in science and philosophy: Are we living in a simulation? Join Tom as he breaks down the latest Nobel Prize-winning physics experiments that challenge our basic assumptions about reality itself. From the quantum strangeness of the double-slit experiment to the mind-boggling implications of entangled particles, we explore why the universe may operate just like a video game—and what that means for everything you think you know. Get ready to have your understanding of existence turned upside down and discover why the odds that you’re living in “base reality” are vanishingly small.

    • 26:42 - Part 4: The Universe is Much Cooler Than You Think
    I had a very strange “brainwave” ... thinking / pondering / contemplating / considering alternative perspectives / meditating etc. about assumptions often unchallenged beliefs most of us have “about the universe”.

    For one, most of us assume that ancient aliens “must” be coming from a realm/space that has so much more options to chose from, thus “more free” or “far more advanced” etc. etc.

    Now imagine a Universe that is much older than ours “co-existing” (study the multiverse) and partially overlapping our Universe, which could explain the “dark energy” & “dark matter” mysteries we have in our current Universe.

    We all know that technological advancements / evolution of technology etc. are just TOOLS we produce to do stuff differently but are created to bypass certain limitations we had for a long period of time until we use NEW tools (of any kind) that changes everything ... And over the centuries of human existence, having these new tools shaped our understanding/perception of what is possible or not ... But originally we were very limited ... Until we are not ... This “progression” template could easily be applied to any OTHER alien civilization that have similar evolution to outgrow their basic physical limitations over a certain period or TIME ... this “time span” may exceed ours 1000s of times easily, maybe even 10,000s or millions of times.

    Now I will sate something really crazy:

    What if a different universe has or had more severe limitations, more obstacles, more setbacks more hurdles to be overtaken and takes much longer to “outgrow” them but if you give it enough time THEY TOO found a way to do the “impossible” having made certain technological tools to go beyond what they had.

    And if that more “limited universe” created tools doing unbelievable things, WE all may be in these super ancient “technological tools” that is all done to outgrow the “limited older universe”.

    I know, it sounds over the top weird ... but if it is the case ... we all may be in a super advanced alien made “simulation” program that uses tools (just like we have made new tools too to outgrow ourselves) to experience new realms/possibilities.

    And these super ancient tools can create “matter” out of “thin air” following the cosmological quantum principles ... how "everything cooled down" how matter is like "frozen light".

    Thus, all of our “current universe” is REAL but still artificial created by a much older universe that has or had severe limitations, as time progresses over billions of years new (technological) tools were made to outgrow its boundaries, just like we did last centuries but then far more advanced.

    I also wonder how "Alien A.I." would be like and how it may oversee our Human made A.I.´s soon-to-be A.G.I.´s?

    What I Am ACTUALLY saying is ... We all may be Multidimensional ("Alien") Souls coming from a much older Universe. ... Having temporary amnesia by choice!

    Let all of this sink in for a moment ... How would you feel if this is the case?

    Here is the kicker, the ones who running the Alien Simulation lost the admin password lol

    Or this one: the ones who running the show can jump to ANY place and ANY time ... tweaking the past and enjoying the effects of them as "show"to be observed for entertainment purposes OR educational purposes.

    Or this one: Several higher being are competing how to tweak the past and jumping to the future how it unfolds and compare notes who did better!

    The supposed "glitches" are what makes me think things are simulated
    I don't experience glitches anymore though and it makes me wonder if you can be in a simulation sometimes, but then other times not

    I have been spending a great deal of time people watching since I realized that we could be living within a simulation... There are the regular background preprogrammed individuals who believe they are doing repetitive things early in the morning, such as going out for a walk daily, always the same path, around the same time... And then there are things that tend to happen on a larger scale of time, such as once a week, the local fire department runs past the house. Also once a week the police cruise past the house, following a large group of bicycle riders to protect them from traffic... Much like the Truman show, I can't help but laugh when these things appear like clockwork. And in some ways it is like a mini parade in front of my house daily..

    If the day/community is slower to "rise" than usual, a random stranger will walk by to get my attention, as I have lived in this house for over 30 years, and I know most of my neighbors.

    As I age, I tire more than I used to, so when I am home, I tend to entertain myself by using my computer to ponder such topics... I look out the window until the 2 days pass, and then I spend the rest of my week going to the family shop so I can be among others that can keep an eye on me. (I had a seizure awhile back and stopped breathing so I can't be alone)..

    It is fascinating, as I am sitting inside, looking outside, KNOWING I can get up and do something outside, but it seems something always happens on these days that makes it undesireable to be outside, like it rains or is cold and overcast.

    My life these days give me a great deal of time to ponder the simulation theory, and as such, I look to things in my environment often, the trees, the rock outcropping I come across, the grass, wildlife, and especially the sky. I have noticed that if you direct your attention to such things in a way that is more interactive than just observation? Much like the double slit experiment, things can and will appear in otherwise stable things. Faces or words or letters will begin to form in the dark shadows and light of leaves on trees, in the shade of the grass, within the moss on rocks... Most would call this paradolia, but it can and will become highly personalized to your thoghts if you engage it on a regular basis...

    Just looking at such things doesn't always manifest these things but focusing your intention on interacting with such things will prompt them to react with our minds. It takes time to notice this and find ways to engage the phenomenon. Once you do, you can't ignore this happens.

    I have essentially tuned out to the whole, or the larger world, and devoted my time and energy locally. Especially as it has become so much more interactive these days.

    If this is a free will universe, then it is not our will that is free.


    This is the beginning of an awareness of the simulation. The best place to study it is when alone. When alone, supposedly there is no other's will to oppose your own. It is in these moments that the will of another, unseen, can be noticed. Who is this other that supersedes your own will?

    It seems to be a conspiracy. It seems as though there is a portion of myself that conspires against my own will. It sets up booby traps that I will unwittingly fall into. Small things mostly. Like a series of wilful actions that include an action that opposes the rest, causing mistakes that can cause illness, mishaps, injury, and emotional trauma. Sometimes seemingly innocent actions result in future injury, like a knife placed on top of other cutlery in the dish rack in such a way that when picked up the knife will fall out of your grip. Sometimes valiant effort results in unforeseen repercussions that cause negative outcomes. These are not my will. In fact I focus mightily so that these sort of things will not happen. Yet they do.

    Not a day can go by, for instance, without the "misplaced item" scenario playing out at least once. Every day, without fail. What is that? Yet it had to be me misplacing the object earlier, against my will. Recently I spent several hours looking for my drill. Pretty big, bright red, hard to misplace. I had used it not two minutes earlier. By the end the entire crew was looking for it. It bounced its way into an open box, and pulled debris in after it to conceal it.

    These are the clues to the simulation in my experience. I am an expert in my field, having worked at it for 45 years. Yet every day I have to focus 110% to get the job done without error. Even then things go wrong every day.

    We say this is the human experience. We say that it is all coincidence. We say the laws of the universe never waver - are fixed. Yet I see the laws of the universe violated every day when I am alone.
    Oddly, the laws are only violated against my interests, never for them.


    Some people say it is luck, fate, destiny that drives the affairs of man. With us just along for the ride.
    To me that is ridiculous.
    That implies favoritism of some supernatural force.
    No small god favors me, and the Creator is not concerned about trivialities like humankind on planet Earth.
    My life is inconsequential, so why should my will be any different?

    In my estimation the simulation is real, we are not.
    Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. Bruce Lee

    Free will can only be as free as the mind that conceives it.

    I anagrammed the 99 names of Allah thinking I would find something insightful. The word Baal, Lake, Erra, Asia Law, Lea & ELE appeared. I thought the Arabic language could be the code from the casual plane as laser light is proclaimed to be from the astral plane. The Draco leased the Lunar Operations Command Center to the Nazi's then it was handed over to the Americans, and it was for a period of 99 years. The British leased Hong Kong for a period of 99 years and they're rumored to be human/reptilian hybrids. What came to mind today was the story of the redheaded woman who allegedly came ashore in Japan in 1803 with I Ching like symbols on the inside of her vessel. Is that the code from yet another plane of existence? Is the process a natural sharing, necessary for the simulation to work or a type of infiltration?

    AJ Gentile talks with Andrew Gallimore about Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). He clearly states that it is not a recreational drug. The experiments he described are interesting like there's intelligent beings that mostly act in a motherly way to people who have taken the drug. Sometimes they'll end a session and not allow people back because the drug doesn't work on that person anymore. In at least one case they'll look at the back of a person's neck maybe looking for an object, implant or tether which I'm guessing at. I missed about 40 minutes of the show because I fell asleep.

    The Basement: Andrew Gallimore | DMT Didn't Take You Somewhere New — It Unlocked What's Always There

    Quote The Basement: Andrew Gallimore | DMT Didn't Take You Somewhere New — It Unlocked What's Always There

    Dr. Andrew Gallimore has spent 30 years studying the world's strangest molecule — one your body already produces. As a neurobiologist and pharmacologist, he's built a scientific case that what people encounter on DMT isn't hallucination. It's contact.

    In this conversation, Gallimore walks through the neuroscience of how DMT hijacks the brain's world-building system, and why that distinction matters enormously.

    He also shares his recent collaboration with consciousness theorist Don Hoffman — work that produced a mathematical model of the DMT state that Gallimore calls one of the most profound moments of his career.

    From machine elves to the Barrow Scale, from near-death experiences to the nature of alien intelligence — this one covers ground most conversations never reach.

    These are the clues to the simulation in my experience. I am an expert in my field, having worked at it for 45 years. Yet every day I have to focus 110% to get the job done without error. Even then things go wrong every day.

    We say this is the human experience. We say that it is all coincidence. We say the laws of the universe never waver - are fixed. Yet I see the laws of the universe violated every day when I am alone.
    Oddly, the laws are only violated against my interests, never for them.


    Some people say it is luck, fate, destiny that drives the affairs of man. With us just along for the ride.
    To me that is ridiculous.
    That implies favoritism of some supernatural force.
    No small god favors me, and the Creator is not concerned about trivialities like humankind on planet Earth.
    My life is inconsequential, so why should my will be any different?

    In my estimation the simulation is real, we are not.

    You're a Jane Roberts oversoul 7 kinda guy.
    You've done the work.
    If we boil down all the Michael Newton journey of the soul books and a couple dozen NDE's, I think what we find is that
    We exercised Free will to come here under the various constraints in the simulation and experience various prechosen difficulties.
    Follow the synchronicities and do the best you can. Right?
    Take care

    We are definitely in a simulation. How do i know? Well because of hypnosis mainly. I just find it very telling. I feel like a program too if I am being totally honest

    A simulation of what? if everything is a simulation then isn't that reality, Rudolf Hess said that "triumph of the will" was made to turn the people into spectators. I think the purpose of simulation theory is to do the same, and to subvert the actuality of the fact that separation and multiplicity are ultimately illusory, William Goldman's assertion about Hollywood that noone knows anything is applicable to all humanity, because ultimately there's nothing to know.

    Offered as a contribution rather than a verdict, here is one distinction I keep coming back to whenever this question comes around.

    Everything I know arrives through consciousness and I have no vantage outside my own experience from which to compare it with reality itself. There is no view from nowhere. That seems to me to call for a certain humility. This thought runs from Descartes through Kant and it has held up remarkably well. What I find useful here is the distinction between coherence and correspondence.

    Coherence asks whether a model hangs together without continually adding new assumptions. Correspondence asks whether it actually matches reality in a way that distinguishes it from competing explanations.

    From where I sit, simulation theory, holographic reality, idealism, materialism and many traditional religious cosmologies can all be coherent. That is part of their attraction. The harder question is correspondence. What observation would genuinely distinguish one framework from another? If a simulation model and a materialist model ultimately predict the same observable world then the difference remains philosophical rather than empirical.

    For me, the same reason I cannot step outside experience to confirm this is base reality is also the reason I cannot step outside it to confirm that it is a simulation. That does not feel like a defeat. It simply seems to be the shape of the ground we are standing on.

    Quote Yes, several animals have more than two thumbs. In fact, some primates and marsupials have four, six, or even eight thumbs when you count their feet!

    The most notable animals with extra thumbs include:

    Koalas: Koalas have a staggering eight opposable digits in total. Each front paw has two opposable thumbs, and each back paw has an opposable big toe to help them grip tree trunks.

    Great Apes: Great apes (such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans) have four thumbs: two on their hands and two opposable big toes on their feet, allowing them to grasp branches with both.

    Giant Pandas: Pandas have six digits on their front paws! They have a standard five fingers alongside a specialized "false thumb" (an enlarged wrist bone) used for gripping bamboo.

    Thanks KMan. This question has bugged me since well before this thread was struck. It is not a new idea.

    IMO it comes from insecurity, from the kind of offloading of responsibility that is at the base of every selfish action.

    Your contribution should be the conclusion of this discussion. I say BRAVO, just in case that comes to pass.

    Come on mate don't take it personally.
    Rather than talk about the corolating repeat appearances of DMT characters seen during the journey he's talking about his journeys as an administrator of the drug.
    He sounded like he was on a job interview to be an anesthesiologist.
    AJ kept trying to steer him into talking about DMT world and he kept returning to name dropping, medical jargon and drug administration.

    AJ shouldn't have published this video he should have told the guy, bro you take the most amazing topic and squeeze the life out of it.
    This guy was like Toby from the office.
    Watch it for yourself.


    Also........... Let me take a moment here .
    Ef this whole procedure for examining DMT experience.
    Brain wave patterns and blood tests are BS.

    Here's what you need to know

    The DMT experience is activating a normally unused energetic organ of awareness.
    We have organs of awareness on our energetic field that we don't normally use.
    DMT diverts chi or spiritual energy and awakens this.

    If you want to make the most of the experience be cognizant of energy expenditure.
    Try to fatten your energy reserves.
    Meditate, silence your internal dialogue, abstain from sex.
    Maybe fast.
    Control your attention and where it goes.
    Keep your attention light like a prancing grasshopper.
    Keep your emotions in check.
    If you must feel them or they are unwittingly activated keep them light.
    Do not indulge in hate, sadness, love, amazement.
    Stay within yourself, do not be manipulated and if you are manipulated try to minimize it.
    Do not stare or gawk, glimpse and move your attention do not allow it to be captivated.

    Here is a question
    Is the DMT trip looking past the parameters of the matrix?
    Or, is it just another ride within the matrix?
    Hmmmmm.
    That is a good one.

    Thanks Ernie. I think that's exactly the question and I wouldn't dismiss those moments for a second. They become part of the observations that any worthwhile cosmology has to account for. Where I keep pausing is in the next step. The experience itself is one thing. What we infer from it is another. More than one framework may be able to accommodate the same observation.

    That is why I keep coming back to correspondence. Is there something about those moments that genuinely distinguishes one framework from another, or are we still choosing between different maps that explain the same terrain?

    I'm curious... what worldview do you find accounts for them best?

    How is it that the universe keeps spinning, working out its final formation, always in flux?

    If the universe is "not finished", how is it that an omnipotent God already exists?

    Our understanding of reality requires all manifest phenomena to have been created with and within preset parameters, resolved over billions of years of interactions.

    How would this apply to God, Who had to exist before anything else?


    This is the problem, we cannot relate because our reality is incompatible. We do not accept reality, we prove it. We devise clever models to account for our perceptions. But proofs are exactly what perceptions need to perpetuate, to continue. Proofs do not resolve reality, they obscure it.

    This is because of the nature of language in general. Language is not designed to uncover truth. Language is a means of facilitating commerce, nothing more. Language conveys information. What form that takes is a personal matter, subjectively curated with a purpose. Language cannot describe truth. It can only point to what truth is not.


    This brings us back to God.

    Thoughts and words are not the same. Thoughts precede words and contain meaning directly in the thought. Words have no meaning directly, they only hold information. The meaning is the listener's interpretation of what they heard in the chain of words in that particular formation.

    Nothing can exist without meaning. But nothing else can.


    God is Meaning. God is The Reason.
    God exists because nothing can exist in a vacuum.


    We think we understand thoughts. But thoughts are not words. We think we understand God, but God is not something to prove. God is not a description. No string of words in any formation can sum up God.

    But a simple thought can. A single, simple thought of God and we can be swept away in the grandeur, the glorious glaring Truth that is our Living God!

    There are no words.


    Thank God there is the Thought.
    Amen
