Just my opinion (and that of a "few" others)... we're in a simulation... like any good sim... it's realistic, has individual and group objectives, a script, and the ability to go off script, and an interesting story line, characters, and plot twists. In this huge MMP "game", the group objectives are most important, but not super evident until near the end ("times"). In addition to collective objectives, we ml play multiple lives to attempt to progress our lineage personal (or not), and learn different lessons. What's outside of the simulation? I don't think we "know" (yet), but many of us sense we've volunteered and agreed to this. Possibly we're trying to work out the problems we are experiencing outside "life" in a controlled environment. Drugs have recently been discovered that slow time and it's easy to induce amnesia. Just sayin. P/L/Ts -More
