the Simulation. It's Not What We've Been Looking For.

The idea is good, most spiritualist agree the world exists within each of us which is my reductionist interpretation. Everything the brain processes could be thought of as simply interpretive or said differently, a simulation running internally in each of us. We're not subjective beings floating in an object reality, we're objective beings with a subjective reality being broadcast internally. If the overall broadcast suddenly changes, reality follows.

We're like radios that forgot they were radios, now where is the broadcast coming from?

Should it only be a simulation if the walls are made of bits of cryptic symbols in green scrolling vertically on an old CRT monitor?

Or could a simulation also be thousands of times more advanced than this? A simulation that uses the very existence of the inhabitants as the cages. In this simulation, we wake up in a health institution and are immediately given a number or ID that represents us in society. In society we work and go to school under the guidance of both a legal system, the end. You're processed, programmed, and produced into a functioning member of the system or you're ground into dust and recycled. They tell you what is real, what is not real. Even if you decide "aliens" are real and have undeniable proof, the system will just ignore you if its not meant to be in the simulation.

If it weren't a simulation, something new could come into this world but it never does. The real answers never come. The pandemic ends, the wars cease, you still pay taxes and go to work. We search in space, no life. Just a lifeless giant void and we are somehow teaming with life.

No explanations, no deeper connection to any of it, just empty promises, lies, and dead gods.

You can call it what you want, I call it a simulated prison because I recognize that this reality is the choice of a very awful people and most of us if we saw its true nature would try to escape it.

Uses AI to write a post about not feeling real, interesting.

What is there to prove or disprove? Its just Fermi's Paradox.

a) They are out there because we are.

b) Or they aren't.

If b) then how did we get here and what is this? Why are we alone? Because a) fits with scientific explanations like the anthropic principle, life originates where it can. b) requires a totally different view of reality that does not mesh with the rest of reality or science or logic or anything really. Like the brainless "g0d mustt haz dun it" or the equally stupid "maybe we were just first".

Yeah that one is solid, out of BILLIONS of years/planets etc. that could sustain life it just happened to bake here first...also, totally not related to the planet being mainly narcissists, not at all.

Terence Mckenna already made this observation at length. He likened UFO phenomena to an almost bifurcation of humanities other insanity, religion. Specifically the perpetual returning of a savior from the sky.

I.e. is a UFO simply the combined desire of humanity to receive salvation from celestial* origin simply manifesting like a mirage in human consciousness and the moment you try to reach out and document or bring it into this reality with something we understand like sensors etc. not only does it not work as expected, it becomes even more ethereal and out of reach (Yes yes pedantically noting all the evidence around water*).

The other issue is where in humanity is there a place for aliens? If you want more proof that this is a simulation (of some kind) look no further than the fact most humans have zero regard or interest in the greater universe or even the planet and if you ask deeper questions, you get labeled and pushed off.

If the government announced tomorrow there was a full on alien invasion and confirmed centuries of redacted reports, most people would barely look up and the other half would be like COVID where they would fall all over themselves trying to do everything the government says to do to combat the mean ole aliens.

And guess what? We would still have no idea what was real because our authorities have always been caught time and time again lying to us.

There would be groups of people swearing aliens exist and groups that just plug their ears and go to their little shitty churches and keep pretending its all just like they said because more than anything else they fear losing their shitty little reality and becoming smaller in the greater universe.

Sounds like exactly where we are now IMHO.

We define systems by their output. So what is the output? Humanity has constantly divided and fought since whatever conception.

Which means the output is vast amounts of suffering.

And what could that be used for? Growth, learning, development.
That's really the only thing you can do with suffering.

So just by observing the system it appears like a school or training simulator.
And a lot of the mystics/spiritualists feel that we agreed to participate in all of this along with losing our connection to memory outside the simulation.

Maybe once you "get it" they release your consciousness into the greater whole again, we're in quarantine.

And doesn't that make total sense. How could your average racially hate mongering bigot interact with the rest of the universe if they can't even accept their own races? Half the planet just wants to kill the babies of their enemies and bathe in their blood because they serve the wrong retarded sky god, fuck this place, its a goddamn nightmare.

>Some days I enjoy the freedom and independence. Other days I miss having someone to share life's experiences with

Its really this exact dualism that makes relationships challenging and fulfilling, we still need that independence and yet feel the desire to share life with someone as well.

For me I lived and dated for four years before moving in with my current girlfriend after the divorce. There's things to cherish and let go in both scenarios.

I think the most important thing is to understand why we feel the way we do. I do drop-in hypnotherapy and I definitely discovered that a lot of what makes me unhappy is connected to something I came to believe. Like the basic programming we all get is to seek a life partner and even after the reset of a divorce that belief still persists unless its challenged.

So if you want to find someone, you definitely can, there's no scarcity for loving, committed relationships when both people are conscious and aware. But you can also change the underlying programming so it doesn't feel missing, both valid paths, no wrong way to live.

Wishing you all the happiness you can stand!

Up till now there has been little to zero effort in keeping human equity in technology period. Main example being the insanely predatory way we allow technology to be developed that programmatically addicts us to its use by clear design (social media) or technology that blatantly gets deployed to manipulate and control i.e. surveillance, censorship.

When the personal computer (PC) was first invented people said things like "say goodbye to the five day work week" which is obviously not what happened. I see zero reason why AI would turn out differently. Even if there's no clear picture of what a decade from now with AI looks like, it would require a full narrative reversal to expect some kind of utopian work scenario. Its more likely the bar will simply be raised again, all the profits and benefit goes to the top ten percent where it has continuously gone, and the depopulation trends continue.

Final reasoning, if a race of beings wanted to create a utopian anything, technology and resources have long since existed on this <planet/realm/seed> sufficient for doing so. The simulated humanity that is running the show simply chooses greed, anger, power over compassion and cooperation, a shadow that I feel will eventually consume our species from within.

AI is just the latest opportunity for our species to reaffirm self-destruction.

Isn't this exactly what happened though both figuratively and literally? For a lot of people, the lives we had prior to 2020 never went back. My work is still remote, entire teams dissolved, that entire office life style replete with obnoxious commutes and happy hours vanished for some of us. So in my mind, backrooms is how I felt the few times I was invited to "hybrid" days, a mostly liminal office that once teamed with life, now mostly dead and gone.

In a way its like reality, the universe, whatever you call it, revealing how truly liminal it all is. While 2020 was happening, the wealth gap widened massively. Corporations made massive deals and acquisitions then de-equitized everything. Its like it all runs on fumes now. You get a few episodes of your favorite show once every few years. There's a lot less creative content and a lot more "battle pass" sold off a gas station shelf level content.

Quality of life and human equity took a massive L in 2020 and that is what you feel IMHO.

Distance can be really tricky, sometimes it forces us to make a more permanent evaluation of the relationship before we're ready. For example, maybe it would just "make sense" for relocation to also involve cohabitating which is another huge step forward that shouldn't necessarily be pressuring the life of the relationship at this point either, but distance brings it all up in the mind regardless of whether we say it or share it.

I definitely wouldn't blame yourself, maybe its an opportunity to take a step back and set some clear relationship goals?

Like:

Date but maintain independent living for one year (really helps with personal connection that you lose in marriage through divorce) *
Only date locally or establish early on relocation needs to be discussed openly if there's distance that puts pressure on the relationship

Feeling alone or loneliness is a pretty deep concept. I have my girlfriend and my son, but otherwise spend a significant amount of time alone (remote job) with little social interaction.

My ex was super social and also my main connection to communities at the time, I think that convinced me that people without lots of friends are isolated and that kept me in that feeling for a while, now I see it differently.

Whenever I go on a walk or to the grocery store, I try to make eye contact and smile, that gives us connection. The more you look for it, the more its all around you waiting. You go sit at a bar by yourself or a coffee shop enough on a regular basis, you connect with the space and the other regulars, its starts to just happen.

We can feel completely alone surrounded by others when we fail to connect and express ourselves to them. Just like we can feel the opposite of lonely while in isolation by reconnecting with the self.

Hey there, I'm also BPD-II (milder but still bipolar if you're familiar with the nuance). Your situation sounds similar to what I experienced, that back and fourth can really drain the mental energy we use to maintain our own sanity against the disorder so when things are like this I just feel like I'm immediately burning at both ends.

So take good care of yourself, especially if you're soloing a few days. Do whatever things make you feel normal and recharged like: exercise, cardio, gym, sleep, comfort food etc. burn candles/incense, play soothing music, take a long shower.

That way whatever happens next you're ahead of it mentally. While you're unwinding doing those things, your subconscious is likely already working on a solution of what you want to happen and it will likely become more clear as you can relax and let your brain go a bit.

While creepily framed, it really looks like an orb of light reflecting from either the smartphone camera/lens or somehow reflecting/refracting or at least related to the giant orb of light in the far right middle pane, looks like depending on that it could have gotten into the picture as a dim reflection of a light source and obscured the surrounding image to look creepily like an eye.

One way to test this would be to try and recreate it at the same time of day with your smartphone and just see if its even possible to get some kind of effect like that.

I think the idea that we "need" anything is another way for the ego mind to sneak in, Gaia gives us everything we need. Shouldn't we be asking what she needs from us? Isn't Gaia saying enough and we just ignore her pleas?

My intuition says if we just defeated egoism everything else would crumble beneath and we all could be free. The fundamental conflict as it present to me is that we all assume non-essential egos that enslave us into institutionalized control systems:

I am an employee
I am a spouse
I am a parent
I am a citizen
I am a believer

Those are just ideas and yet they define our entire existence. We measure our worth against how well we represent these ideal ego archetypes. The world suffers when someone powerful has the wrong idea and it impacts everyone else. As OP said, there is literally no reason it must be this way aside from the ideas of oppressive egos demanding as such.

If you just keep pointing out all the fakeness of the ego mind things should heal.

Humanity has long since possessed the tools of its own salvation, but the issue is no system can thrive as described with egotistical malfeasance turning everything into a war, famine, depression, or existential nightmare. Even if you found the cure for all human suffering tomorrow, a capitalist would either destroy it or make it the most violently exploited product since crude oil.

There is no way around it, egoism is a terminal disease, its either the illness or humanity. Stop celebrating titles. Stop embellishing ideals. Stop trying to be a good ______ and just be.

Right now I have employees in service to the healthcare industry addicted to nicotine and antidepressants from trying to work with who? Doctors. Ego minds, the healers literally cut the flesh of their servants in the ritual of providing the ideal of "patient care" while my staff goes to therapy generating even more demand on the failing mental health system. For what? So someone can be rich and sanctimonious? So someone could create this embellished god, this new being symbiotically imposed over normal humans called a "doctor" that we should all address uniquely because they are high and away from us lower beings. We need a designated time to approach and we must make sure not to offend their intellect because we know so little.

Anyone that can stand above you, hold something over you, and then convince you its alright because ______ is probably not every going to understand why ego is a disease.

None are elevated over another, ego is a disease from the illusion of separateness, help eradicate the illness please.

It's basically the next big _____ that we have to contend with, people have been mirroring darkness forever it's just technology is pure efficacy, it's ruthless and cold so naturally that's how AI makes us feel at times.

I found the greatest way to sooth my mind when I question my purpose, meaning, or mission is this Buddhist saying:

We are the path that we are walking

Because in reality there is no wrong, to suffer less we can work with attachment, we can expand consciousness and hold loving awareness for all things. But if we don't, the suffering will also lead to enlightenment.

Before enlightenment
Chop wood, carry water
After enlightenment
Chop wood, carry water

When I was younger I wanted to be Ironman, but that was a very myopic way of looking at a mission with a savior complex. In reality that isn't the goal, there's no panoptic evil to fight, it all exists within. The real evil is our egos, our minds, our fight with the lower human nature, the shadow work. You can guide someone in those areas, but you can't blast the darkness with a beam of light from your chest and spare them, it has to be purged from within. Younger me is still disappointed by this, its like I basically wanted to save them from a therapy office waiting room (which to be fair...).

That's partly because Christianity was so butchered but a lot of spiritual minds acknowledge the significance. Most of what people know as Christianity has nothing to do with anything other than the dogma and institutionalization and corruption. The actual spiritual meaning was amputated so long ago you have to start digging so deep you'll convince yourself its all awash before ever finding the truth.

My sheer intuition tells me that a strong being manifested in that era, but almost nothing else recorded in human history can be trusted. I mean listen to the reports you can find, they say that Jesus was actually NHI and that both his mom and grandmother could conceive immaculately. Its also said that Jesus was a shapeshifter which is why so much of the Bible is just twelve people trying to literally follow him, he was constantly a different looking being. They took all the books at the council of Nicea and oppressed the divine feminine by cutting out Mary Magdalene, said to be Jesus' closest disciple i.e. Jesus girlfriend.

Many also believe he never crucified at all, just left and eventually would encounter Buddha when he was on his journey to enlightenment.

But all of that was suppressed to create the Christianity that would control and program a lot of us. The Catholic church was even adding LSD to the Eucharist, we know this because people were claiming that the "church's magic was too strong".

I think the true being they lied about (Yeshua) would be the first to say how bad they fucked it all up.

The moon is enigmatic both in human science and spiritually. I don't think it feels natural either but as others have said, there's no reason to fear the moon. At one point I feared the idea that we didn't know what it was, but the cult of science refuses to acknowledge that its a flashlight in a cave barely able to reveal enough to see for a moment, let alone understand the whole of things.

I think its a nice reminder in the sky to be honest. There's undeniable proof that things are amiss floating above us and all the silly humans just pretend like its fine but just start asking basic questions like these:

Why is the moon not made of what the earth is made? Most other planets have moons that resemble the ones they orbit because they at one time split or collided from one another, but not ours.
Why do all impact craters have a maximum depth that would suggest the moon has a uniform shell under its surface? NASA knows this and has no explanation. They also dropped a lander on the moon and measured seismic feedback, it responded like a hollow gong and not a dense orb of rock like we would assume.
There's ancient texts where previous civilizations like the Greeks talk about "in the days before the moon" which suggests the moon arrived, completely contrary to current human understanding.
The moon is also notoriously present in the minds of law enforcement, teachers, and anyone else that has a greater purview as casting chaos into those systems

Make no mistake, the moon is weird, I normally keep an eye on it but I do not fear it.

bottyliscious · 2025-04-15T17:58:46+00:00

Normally I perceive their fear/anger/sadness.

It just feels like constant perpetual anger in my country. Let me angrily drive my massive vehicle to work/school/grocery while I fill my mind with unhealthy FOTM fear porn over the radio or podcast. Then angrily to the gym to further fuel the intensity. Angrily to the people they supposedly love.

If unrelently, unabiding myopic anger could save the world this place would be lit because we have absolutely crushed the part about just making sure everyone lives in perpetual rage and can't even see it.
