If the universe is a simulation what is it simulating
If it is simulating reality where does our simulation reside? In a server somewhere? Wouldn't that mean that our reality is part of the real reality? How can we ever confirm that the real reality is really the real real reality? Wouldn't it all at some point just be reality? Why even call anything a simulation then?

Ok it is simulating creation... so where does our so called simulation reside? Somewhere in creation right? So it is part of creation. So is it a simulation if it is part of creation?

I guess what I am saying is that even if a simulation is created.. like a program.. it still resides on a operating system that is in touch with reality. Reality still has to be there to encompass a simulation and it seems like this is where we inherit all of our divine capabilities like consciousness and emotions layered on top of a program. But I have heard others I really respect state that the energy for this world must come from another dimension so I believe you are correct in your statement.

Re: If the universe is a simulation what is it simulating
Our real lives are in the dream world, where we connect briefly to them, this is the dream when we wake up each morning.

We have powers in the real world. Very powerful. The simulation keeps us mainly operating in this docile /controlled state of existence...


Dreams are deep. They put forth MANY things in society that keep you from dreaming/remembering them/controlling them.

For example, I smoked cannabis for a while. Couldn't remember/control a single dream.

Alcohol= same deal.

Pain meds/anxiety meds/bad food= all the same deal...

Being HEALTHY= allowed me to remember and control the dreams more. Now satan comes to me with his demons in that real world- they shape shift into people I know- they try to get me to sell my soul. Dreams are real life...


Everything in this world is in REVERSE. REVERSE-WORLD
Up is down.

Everyone is turning against God/Christ. Christ came here to live in reverse to give us a way out.

See this is somewhat what I am saying without the Christ part personally.. but I do believe that there is a thread running through all simulations or possible realities that designates it as reality just the awareness that we are here for example and living. You couldn't have that if this place wasn't real.

I agree with this statement. When Jesus said the faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain. I believe what he meant was that if you believe you can move a mountain you can find a way to do it.. now look we have ways to excavate and move mountains.. if we believed it was an impossible task we would never innovate or find new ways of doing things.

I asked a while back. If you tried every day to walk on water your whole life would you get any better at it? No one responded but it was this same idea.

Jesus Christ is very real though. Look into it deeper. Thats the only name shown to stop alien abductions /demonic attacks/ sleep paralysis etc.

John Mack even wrote about it in his books. There are over 400 cases studied that have this in common, most likely many more.

Christ repels evil from your life.

No other force in existence has been shown, by any evidence, to remove evil from your life like Jesus Christ.

If by your definition "real world" is the world that you're perceiving then storage systems are both in and out of the "real world".

Second answer is intrinsic to the first one and you may have already figured it out.

That's because your limited human consciousness feels more comfortable with that "belief" and feels closer to comprehending what this "simulation" is by doing so.

Belief is comforting, it gives the mind a semi-solid mental footing in an infinity of... nothing.

I don't think the video game is a fair comparison. As far as I know we haven't been able to birth any sentient beings in a video game. Also video games are constrained by digits and power, processing etc.. we cannot even come close to simulating our world at all at this point on any kind of device. It would take more power than we have ever harnessed and don't have the compute to do it. We don't even understand this world still from a physics perspective.

So while I see where you are going with the analogy.. video games are more like a piece of art or a book than a simulation at this point.

Where?

Look at the night sky.

Where in infinity can anything be said to be.

Where is you point of reference?

You may be the only point of reference.


That fact that anything seems to exist is hilariously,
wonderfully ridiculous to me.

Language and expression of any kind can't possibly do it even the remotest justice.
