Facebook Post Simulated Reality Group - 10-21-2010
For a person to say that this world might be a simulation, and to feel it strongly, is for that person to be in a state of de-realization.
What is de-realization?
De-realization is a psychological state in which reality appears to not be reality. There is a sensed separation between the self and reality which surrounds it. Many psychological states have this as a symptom - schizophrenia, depression, Enlightenment, religious euphoria, alienation - just to name a few.
The latter is what interests me at the moment. De-realization and the idea of a simulated Earth have in common the thought that the reality currently experienced is not the ultimate reality which can be attained or regained. Those of us who sense a false reality may be visitors from a different reality which we use as the source reference, unlike those others who do not sense a false quality to the current reality and believe it to be true and valid.
Derealization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Derealization (DR) is an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems strange or unreal.
The entry makes no mention of the condition in which the perception or the experience is not altered, no mention of the person who has never felt quite comfortable or at ease with the external environment and how their alteration in perception or experience would be to experience or to perceive the external world as being normal and not strange or false at all. That's how the internal reality of a simulation would appear to those persons belonging to and having their source from within the simulation. Only those persons or viewpoints, perspectives if you will, only those entities whose source lies external to the simulation (or alien world) would notice something awry or missing as they observed the internal environment of their surroundings.
Simulation, alien environment or psychological misstep, whichever it is one thing stands out: The deep-seated feeling that this is not home.
~~~
At minimum there are two groups: The Simulated and the Non-Simulated.
The awareness of the Simulated is a product of the Simulation, they can know nothing else. The awareness of the Non-Simulated is a by-produced of something which lies beyond the Simulation. The Non-Simulated are able to sense the false quality of the current reality because their awareness is based in an external source - if nothing else, a higher simulation! Their consciousness, for whatever reason, has been interjected into a simulated environment, this one. The current reality set may be a classroom, a prison, a trap - or all three at once - it is impossible to tell.
However, there is a problem: Repeated interjections into the simulation may well confuse the mind for a time; but too many interjections (reincarnations) and the mind begins to collect itself, it begins to remember.
Those of us who sense the Simulation have begun to remember.

Lucid Dreams and Other Lessons Learned
The Divinity beyond-being is absolute and absolutely annihilating. It is the source from which everything emanates, the power that brings all things into being. Come too close and the human subject disappears; if it is not contemplated, it attacks, invades, annihilates, then annihilates annihilation. It shatters the apparatus of the human organism.
The creator cannot enter into the creation without destroying that which is created.
Death comes when the mind is no longer able to maintain an association to matter - the physical body.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Mind desires experience. Awareness makes it possible, the Consciousness makes it fact. No Intention to affect others in an abnormal fashion or something not in the normal course of events can be generated. That should satisfy the requirements.
The Subconscious Mind thinks about the request and considers the parameters. If there are no violations, the Consciousness brings it into existence. This requires an understanding of Spiritual laws - Dharma. You can't violate anyone's right to free will.
Glitches do not appear because the Perception parses and makes perceived reality consistent with what has come before. Take baby steps!
Any alteration of consciousness will first be viewed as insanity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't take away my insanity - it's the only thing I can be certain of."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was happy because I thought the felicitous situation would continue. I was sad because I thought the same of less fortunate events - that it would continue and I would be lost. On both occasions, I was wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You never do discover the Truth. It just ceases to be an issue."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The area in between the node points is undefined. This is where Destiny happens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Lucid Dreaming -
In Lucid Dreams, the Conscious Mind receives information not normally available to it.
Caution!!!
The Subconscious Mind creates in the dream realm but it is subservient to the Conscious Mind which rules waking reality and carries waking reality with itself into the dream realm. The Conscious Mind can override the Subconscious Mind if the Conscious Mind is placed in a situation where it can observe the Future. There is a tendency for the Conscious Mind to interpret the Future based on known events. The Future, however, may include or be brought about by unknown (to the Conscious Mind) Future events and corresponding node points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Subconscious Mind needs to be activated as the Higher Self - recognized by the Conscious Mind as such. It then needs to be left alone to perform its function as the Creator of Waking reality. This means not allowing the Conscious Mind to interfere through criticism or micro-managing. No second guessing!
A positive optimistic attitude works best.
The switch must be made in placing the subconscious Higher Self in charge of waking reality rather than the Conscious Mind. You have to give the subconscious Higher Self permission to do what it needs to do, and then stay out of its way.
The Conscious Mind handles short term solutions that deal with the immediate present. The Higher Self Subconscious Mind handles long term solutions that deal with the Future. You have to stay focused! The Here and Now is the Safe Zone.
Those with Fate prevalent in their lives have more of a Path to follow than those born with a vast amount of free will or Destiny.
When you subject the psyche to a lot of stress, something happens. It is not magic, it is the body defending itself through an act of withdrawal. This offers the Mind an opportunity to have an encounter with itself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can't get stuck in the wonderment of Psychic Ability or be impressed with the Clairvoyant tricks you can do. You must relinquish that realm to the awakened Higher Self and return the Conscious Mind to waking reality.

Multi-Dimensions in Simulated Reality
"We are immersed in our learning of Four dimensions and are slowly becoming aware of a Fifth."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here I will introduce new terms for our discussions.
Outside Reality and Inside Reality. Between the two is a gray area in which neither reality functions. We will call this gray non-functioning area the Void or Chaotic Nothingness. It is in constant flux, or motion, and has the Potential to become or to clump and adhere together in the formation of a Realm.
Let's take apart a dream. A dream is a simulated reality, it is a Realm. Inside the dream is Inside Reality. Outside the dream, in the physical world, is Outside Reality. Everything inside the dream is created inside the dream. The raw material for the dream - memories and external sensory stimuli - is processed and becomes the 'stuff' of the dream. The processing happens in that gray area that is neither the waking reality nor the dream reality. It is both and neither at once. Dreams do not function properly here, neither does waking reality. Yet the observer must pass through it to travel from one realm, or inclusive reality, to the other. In this gray area, everything of the Observer is stripped away except for a Sense of Presence that is carried across the threshold and into the realms. The Dream Self stays in the dream. The Other Self (of which we can know nothing) remains Outside Reality. The Sense of Presence is Awareness. Knowledge, or that which we can know, is made from the action of the Consciousness. The two of these working together form the Mind - a Sense of Presence with Knowledge of itself and its surroundings.
The Sense of Presence travels Outside and Inside Reality. This leads to a Divine Entanglement of Outside Reality and Inside Reality due to the window or the gate created by the Sense of Presence as it travels from one to the other. This Entangled Reality travels with the Sense of Presence but in a Potential State of Being, a dormant state of Existence which does not function in the Destination Reality or in the Consciousness. Many within the simulation or Inside Reality sense this entanglement and name it God, or Brahma and such. Some take it a bit further and suggest that the Sense of Presence must be coming from some Outside Reality; much in the same way we exist outside our dreams as well as inside them, but in an altered state of Perception or reception that does not allow it or us to function in both simultaneously.
The Sense of Presence is limited to one or the other. It is a focal point, not the entire entity which may have an existence both Outside and Inside Reality. Our focal point, the Sense of Presence, is what determines Inside and Outside Reality as far as we're concerned. Whichever one we focus upon is Inside Reality, that which we ignore is Outside Reality. The Consciousness is concerned with designations of Inside and Outside. The Sense of Presence has an Awareness of both Realities but can only 'know' what the Consciousness knows. The Consciousness becomes entangled with whatever Reality is focused upon, names it Inside Reality and ignores the other as Outside Reality. It takes its cue from Awareness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't think we're concerned whether this is a simulated reality or not. What we want to do is have more internal control over how it manifests. If we want to leave, we will simply die."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is not a computer-based simulation, it is an awareness-based simulation. Awareness is the generator.
Awareness is not "in" us - we are appearing "in" Awareness. This is just like a dream in which we mistakenly identify only with a character in the dream rather than with the dreamer who is having the dream.
Awareness is the 'sense of presence' necessary for observing a simulation from within. That makes it a window to the outside, a Gate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simulation as Translation -
We have been taught that Matter is reality. What if it is not? What if a simulated reality was needed in order for the Mind to experience Matter?
What we call simulated could also be an adaptation so that we can experience an environment foreign to us. Perhaps it is not as fluid and variable as we may think. Perhaps it is a distillation which we play back after processing - a static, unchangeable sample, an extraction, a slice of outside reality that we slow down and separate into parts for study. We could be self-aware probes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://www.hellboundhackers.org/articles/785-simulated-reality.html
"If we do indeed exist within a simulated reality there are two possibilities. The first is that we exist within a simulation where all events have been decided and we are merely following a pre-determined series of these events. The second is that the reality in which we exist is composed of complex algorithms and equations which allow us to think for ourselves and let us evolve as the program runs its course. In the latter it is probable that the entity which is controlling or overseeing the program does not know what will happen in our reality."
Or it could be a combination of the two, a third possibility: a predetermined series of events in which the thinking process is left open-ended. A controlled experiment in the development and operation of the Consciousness.
Free Will / A Sense of Choice -
Free will would be easy to fake. The requirement is a sense of choice, not actual choice. One path with a sense, or Illusion, that there were many available.
Precognition -
Not every event would need to be predetermined, just enough of them to keep the simulation moving in a certain direction. These node points, being part of the simulated reality, could be sensed from within the simulation as being the Future.
Sample Points -
Certain entities within the joint simulation / consciousness experiment would be sample points. These entities would be the ones most likely to be affected by Divine Entanglement, develop an awareness of a connection with the outside, and the ones Inside Reality most likely to sense the simulation's 'unreality'.
Clairvoyance. Look but don't Touch -
Depending on the type of connection, it may not be completely severable, making it a two-way gate.
The Dreamer Dreamed, the Observer Observed -
There are two parts to a simulation. The simulation itself and the observer of the simulation, the one immersed in it but not a part of it. Like in a dream, there is the dreamer and the creations that exist within the dream as a part of the dream. The dreamer is immersed in the dream but is not a part of it. The dreamer may wake up inside the dream, but the dreamed people never will, at least so far they haven't. I have not yet had a dreamed person look at me from inside the dream and say, "This isn't real!"
It is not quite accurate, however, to say that the dreamer is not part of the dream because they are, but they are related to it in a special way, being both creator and observer. Within the dream they are the Observer; outside the dream, they are the Creator. Sometimes the Creator side awakens inside the creation and realizes it as such.
It may be an inevitable part of a simulation that given enough experience and awareness of the simulated reality, the observer "wakes" up while still inside it; much like a lucid dreamer can wake up inside a dream and know the experience as a dream state without a disruption to the flow of the dream.
Lucid Dream -
The creator wakes up inside the creation and is able to identify the created counterpart within the creation as distinct (though not separate) from the other parts of the creation and as itself.

The Dreamer Dreaming
This is a misunderstanding. This is the Dreamer dreaming. Some of you have awakened inside the dream. This was not supposed to happen. You are not insane, and yes, there are inconsistencies within the dream. But having awakened, you are now engaged upon a search for Truth. The truth is, this never happened, never will happen, never has happened. It is a dream. The One is dreaming it is not One. The dream, the awakening, and the subsequent striving for Truth, are all taking place within the dream. They are Illusions. There is only the One engaged in a dream. The bliss of Enlightenment for instance; how can there be an experience of bliss unless there is a self to have the experience? The bliss is part of the dream. It is an Illusion of separation. It is the One dreaming.
The One now dreams it is a Seeker searching for Truth. It will soon discover that it is the One and that there are no others. There never has been, there never will be, there are no others now. The knowledge exists within the dream. It is there because the Dreamer has awakened inside the dream. Many do not awaken and have no idea that this is a dream. For them it is reality. There are no inconsistencies, no conflicts to resolve within their experience of Life. That is reserved for the Seeker.
In the end the Seeker will come to the conclusion that there is only the One. The One is not aware of us here within the dream unless it awakens within the dream to discover the mystery and confusion of multplicity. The Seeker is the One awakened within the dream and searching for itself. There can be no resolution within the dream, only knowledge that the dream is Illusory. Nevertheless, having awakened, there can be no sleep, and the Seeker must wander in search for answers to a question that is best not asked.
Do not pity those who have not awakened. They do not need to be awakened to the Truth. They are the Dreamer dreaming, just as we who have awakened are the Dreamer dreaming. There is only the One - whether we have awakened or not; and none of us exist outside the dream.

The Containment Dilemma
I realized something about existence when I was eight years old. I wondered about God. My religion and my parents, grandparents, etc all said that God lived in Heaven and if I was good I might get to go there when I died. OK. Fine. So...where was this Heaven?
In the sky, I was told. God lives in Heaven and Heaven is in the sky. OK so far.
Who made Heaven?
God made Heaven.
Where did God get the stuff to make Heaven?
Well, God made the stuff to make Heaven.
Uhmmm...where did God get the stuff to make the stuff to make Heaven?
Now we run into a problem. Because the only answer that makes any sense is that God got the stuff from God; which would mean that we and everything else are little parts of God wandering around pretending we don't know each other and perhaps even worse, pretending that we do not know that we are God pretending not to know!
That answer, of course, is unacceptable in the Abrahamic school of thought community and quite beyond the conceptualization powers of a lot of good intentioned people - like parents and grandparents.
This is the Containment Dilemma. We expect reality (or existence if you prefer) to come in discretely contained packages. We objectify reality-existence through a cause-and-effect mentality. The expectation breaks down when the conversation turns to the Origins of Existence. Why? Because the only answer that makes any sense is that at some point there is no more containment of objects. In order to explain reality-existence, objects and their separate distinctions have to disappear. Everything does not become One as we are taught in the Enlightenment Advanced Studies class. Everything becomes Nothing.
As long as there is a something before to start from, there is a something that the something before came from, ad infinitum. We usually use God as a cap to end the regression of Containment after which we say mysterious and unclear things that mean, Stop asking those difficult questions!
If our cause-effect, hierarchical, containment-necessary explanation of Existence does not work unless it endlessly loops back upon itself, it means that this reality-existence we call "home" is not truly 'real'. It is an artificial environment, an anomaly whether accidental or deliberately created. At some point in the explanation, the next level of being for reality-existence is '...and then there were none'.
No Time, no space, no measurement of any kind. No beginning, no end. And not because it was always there, but because it was never there.

The modabid Sessions - Pt 4
"We say God loves us as a comfort - the thought of such a powerful being is threatening to our peace of mind."
"What right-thinking Soul would leave the glory of Heaven
for such a place as this?"
[For the purposes of discussion, we will assume that souls exist.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do they originate in a higher realm or come from a lower one, passing through the earth on their way to heaven?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Souls -
General consensus suggests that souls come from God.
On God -
"There is a self-sustaining and consistent force that rules the universe. That appears obvious. But exactly what it is, this force - that is a mystery we have yet to unravel."
The Big Question -
If souls have their origins in a higher realm, what are they doing here?
The Possible Answer -
There is a certain fascination of spirit associated with the material realm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In order to experience one reality, it is necessary to ignore or to forget another, or to at least to ignore or to forget certain aspects of reality which define the other's existence."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Discussion -
Q: The Necessity of Ignorance stated above creates a problem - If a soul forgets where it comes from, how does it get back?
A: Forgetting has been described by various religions as a turning away from God or as a kind of original sin that pushes a soul out of heaven.
This action of forgetting is not always viewed as a negative. Certain beliefs see it as an accepted requirement for experience to occur on the material realm.
Perception of the physical blocks out or ignores certain aspects of reality in favor of others. Human understanding of the observable universe is based on experienced gained through perception. This form of knowledge works well in securing a physical survival, but it is not sufficient to return a soul to its heavenly existence. A different kind of knowledge is needed for that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: But if the soul has forgotten the reality of heaven in order to experience the material realm, where does a lost soul gain the knowledge needed to return it to its place of origin?
A: To resolve the problem of forgetfulness God regularly sends a manifested soul as an expression of the divine will. This manifested soul has no free will of its own. Although outwardly human in other respects, it expresses God's will. The manifested soul has a foot in both worlds - the material and the spiritual - and thus retains knowledge of its source.
The recurring mission is to transfer this knowledge to those lost souls desirous of a homeward returning.
The intermediary soul serves variously as a gate, an angel, an avatar, and a modabid. The assigned task determines the form an intermediary soul takes in fulfilling God's intention.
Gates hold open God's portal and point the way to God's Essence. Angels deliver messages. Avatars provide instructive education to key individuals who then educate others. Modabids seek out misinterpreted knowledge and make the appropriate corrections as needed.
This latter brings up a common misconception regarding the teachings of Islam. The Holy Quran is a recorded conversation between God and the angel Gabriel. The messenger is the angel, not Mohamed, who is later made recipient of the conversation's content. The recurrent 'we' of the Quran is actually God and the angels in discourse.
Mohamed decided God was talking personally to him and set in motion the first Islam which is to be replaced by the greater Islam as foretold in the Quran.
Islam is not a religion.
Islam is intended as a way of attaining reconciliation and peace with God. It is a philosophy. The Muslim religion is a result of the lesser Islam. It is the first practiced form of Islam. The results and nature of the greater Islam are still to come, "...to be revealed in a time and place of God's own choosing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: So what is the remembering that an Intermediary Soul delivers?
A: The message of angels varies according to time and need, as does the education provided by avatars. The modabid's task is to transmit knowledge regarding the state of reality which transcends the material realm yet provides a foundation for its existence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
False Divine Intermediaries -
Many will claim possession of God's will as a way of elevating their status and acquiring worldly gain. Others put their trust completely in these persons and blindly follow these pretenders because they know of nothing else to do.

The modabid Sessions - Pt 3
Involution -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the lowest point of Existence, or at the Creation-Level, there is an interaction of Mind with Matter.
The Intention of Mind is to inhabit Matter.
The Purpose is to explore the Material Realm.
The Result is Life.
An association of Mind to Matter creates the Etheric.
The Etheric is an envelope which contains Life; it is the "glue" between Mind and Matter.
An Envelope is a certain set of conditions that, when associated with Substance, make certain phenomenon possible that otherwise would not take place.
Spirit is such an envelope; it happens when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Non-Matter.
The influence of Spirit can be seen as heat and light within the Observable Universe.
Spiritual influence is emitted as energy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spiritual-Beings happen when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Non-Matter.
Spirit is the result, it is not the purpose. The Purpose is to explore Non-Matter.
Life-Beings happen when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Matter.
Life is the result, it is not the purpose. The Purpose is to explore Matter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Is there a dissolution of the Soul?
A: On this matter of a Soul.
Spirit is not Life and Life is not Spirit.
The notion of a Soul is best stated as being the experiences and the memories the Mind takes with it from Life.
A living body is composed of many Minds working in harmony.
When Death occurs, the many Minds dissolve their group associations and continue onward toward their own Becoming.
Each retains a part of the experience that was life.
Survival of the Personality is an Holistic projection that can be reproduced by associating the particular memory of each concerned Mind with the same memory of Self.
The re-created Self will remember only the Life-Time it occupied and will not remember any Time Backwards or Forwards of that Time.
It will not perceive or recognize any object, concept, or living thing that did not [appear] within its Life-Time.
The re-created Self is not a Spirit Form, it is the Memory from a composite moment of Mind's association with Matter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Are there Angels and such?
A: There are Beings of Spirit just as there are Beings of Life.
All things contain Spirit, but not all things contain Life.
The influence of Spirit can best be stated as: "I Am Also That."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is an interval of Time necessary for change to happen within the Physical Realm, a number of steps or 'Sequences of Change' that must be gone through.
Spirit can be experienced in the form of physical energy - heat and light - as any material change in state approaches near instantaneous.
The larger the Sequence of Change in relation to the brevity of Time, the more Spirit appears as an influence.
The Influence of Spirit can be destructive to Matter, and so may cause a disassociation of Mind to Matter, Insanity, or Physical Death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uv-taars -
God as a Spiritual Being cannot have direct contact with a living thing because it results in the disassociation of Mind to Matter. Therefore, Material Existence is provided association with Divine Spirit through Intermediary Souls.
The Mind of an Intermediary Soul is set equally between the Spirit and the Etheric, with one face to God and one face to Matter. Contact from God is made through Intermediary Souls who hold the Intention to do God's will.
Intermediary Souls have no free will in choosing what they do or say, however they are able to think any thought and to hold any opinion they wish.
When an Intermediary Soul is used to transport Intention from one Dimension to another it is called a 'Divine Manifestation'.
Intention is that which a Mind decides to do itself or to have done by another.

Being versus Existence
Being versus Existence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's try not to get lost in the semantics."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Non-Existence / Pre-Existence / Low-Level Existence / High-Level Existence
Non-Existence / Beingness
Pre-Existence / the Consciousness
Low-Level Existence / NRJ
High-Level Existence / the observable universe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
High-Level Existence is from [the quantum level] up - quarks, atoms, elephants, trees and rocks etc are examples of High-Level Existence. At this point, science kicks in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some fundamental questions
The principal questions of ontology are "What can be said to exist?" and "Into what categories, if any, can we sort existing things?"
Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being, existence or reality in general, as well as of the basic categories of being and their relations. Traditionally listed as a part of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, ontology deals with questions concerning what entities exist or can be said to exist, and how such entities can be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences.
Ontology is inquiry into being in so much as it is being, or into being in general, beyond any particular thing which is or exists; and the study of beings insofar as they exist, and not insofar as, for instance, particular facts obtained about them or particular properties relating to them. Take anything you can find in the world, and look at it, not as a puppy or a slice of pizza or a folding chair or a president, but just as something that is. More specifically, ontology concerns determining what categories of being are fundamental and asks whether, and in what sense, the items in those categories can be said to "be".
Ontology is the study of that which is common to all things which exist.
Examples of ontological questions include:
* What is existence?
* Is existence a property?
* Which entities are fundamental?
* How do the properties of an object relate to the object itself?
* What features are the essential, as opposed to merely accidental, attributes of a given object?
* How many levels of existence or ontological levels are there?
* What is a physical object?
* Can one give an account of what it means to say that a physical object exists?
* Can one give an account of what it means to say that a non-physical entity exists?
* What constitutes the identity of an object?
* When does an object go out of existence, as opposed to merely changing?
* Why does anything exist rather than nothing? (This overlaps with questions in cosmology.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The An'Kareen -
Everything that we can apprehend is but one part of a single entity. This idea somewhat anticipates the modern concept of an ultimate grand unification theory that finally explains all of reality in terms of one inter-related sub-atomic reality which applies to everything.
Forms must exist not only of Being, but also of Negation and of non-Being (or Difference)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Being (unique and unchanging)
Becoming - The dynamic aspect of being.
With Existence, 'Being' becomes 'Becoming'.
Becoming can be used as a term for potentiality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Essence versus Substance
Beingness versus Existence
Awareness versus the Consciousness
NRJ = Difference = Substance
Awareness contains Difference but the Difference is Undifferentiated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Process of Involution -
There is no First Cause; there is only opportunity, potentiality, circumstance that is not accidental but merely unspecified. The Chance of Possibility.
Wher did Awareness come from?
There was no first cause, no reason [intellect] or purpose involved. There was Circumstance and the Chance of Possibility; not accidental but merely unspecified. The Chance of Possibility was/is the Potential for Something to appear out of Nothing. The Circumstance was/is Chaotic Nothingness about which we can know nothing.
This is [all] the Chance of Possibility that all this could actually happen.
The Consciousness [recognizes/detects] Difference - makes Difference possible. It is an enabler like the etheric and the Spirit. It forms an envelope/environment in which there can be Difference. It displaces Awareness/Beingness and [sets up the circumstance for Pre-Existence] through recognition of NRJ [modes of Difference].
It's a form of simulation real to the participants for as long as they remain within the simulation.
Awareness looks inward at itself. The Mind asks, "What Am I?" and answers, "I Am the Mind." To go beyond that, to the Source of Mind - Chaotic Nothingness about which we can know nothing - of necessity, dissolves the Mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evolution -
Awareness [the Mind] explores Difference. Difference is Complexity.
In philosophy, essence is the attribute or set of attributes that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity.
Essence is defined as the essential part of a thing; its Beingness or Awareness. The Mind. In order for us to experience a thing, it must first have Beingness. Non-Beingness is the Chaotic Nothingness of which we can know nothing - it is beyond our comprehesion. Why? Because it is Non-Beingness. There is nothing for us to grab onto either physically or mentally.
Existence 'appears' to the Mind through the Consciousness. The Consciousness establishes the circumstance for Difference. It does this by stating, "I Am Not That," meaning Awareness. NRJ is the Difference. It is an extention of the thought, "I Am Not That," which is itself a variation on the Original Thought, "I Am" - NRJ states, "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That".
"I Am Also That" - the Consciousness ultimately realizes that for a complete definition of itself, it needs to include Awareness as the thing it pushes away from.
The Consciousness references another thing; something outside itself that gives it definition - "I Am Not That". Awareness is self-referencing - "I Am".
It may be said that NRJ is the dynamic aspect of being - "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" - or - Awareness / Not Awareness / Awareness. NRJ is the Mind becoming the Mind by an elimination of Difference through Inclusion. Awareness becoming Awareness with a Difference. The Difference progresses in Complexity until it becomes indistiguishable from Chaotic Nothingness. The Mind finally declares that it is the Chaotic Nothingness of which it can have no comprehension, and dissolves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manifestation -
When you manipulate something, you open it up and access the "I Am Also That" of it - the thing's Spirit. That is your handle. Your Spirit makes a connection with the thing's Spirit. There is no spoon because the spoon becomes an extension of your own self.
Whenever there is change, there is a corresponding release of NRJ. Harmonious releases of NRJ appear as instances of synchronicity. Rapid, abrupt or forced change, appears as light and heat on the physical realm; it is usually accompanied with unpredictable violence. Events are unexpected and sudden.
"I Am Also That" is as close to Beingness as Existence can come. "I Am Also That" is Spirit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beingness -
So if Beingness is the basis for everything, what is Beingness defined as being?
Beingness is defined as being something that is not nothing. In other words, Beingness is not the Chaos of Nothingness. Anything not the Chaos of Nothingness is Beingness. We cannot comprehend Chaotic Nothingness, but we can comprehend Beingness. We do this by exploring the states of Beingness - "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" - called Existence. Anything that is other than Beingness/Awareness/Mind or Nothingness/Chaos is Existence/NRJ/the Consciousness. Exploring Existence to understand Beingness is called Becoming or Evolution. The Consciousness developing as Low-Level Existence [NRJ] through the process of Complexity is called Involution.
"I Am" is the identification of an individual who is not Chaotic Nothingness. "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" is identification of an individual in reference to other individuals.
Time is a thing of High-Level existence.
These things of Low-Level Existence do not happen within a time frame. They happen within a Sequence of Circumstance. The Circumstance provides the opportunity for further Compexity by opening or widening the potential for something to compare itself to something else. This is tricky; it is a function of the Mind. As soon as the thought is produced, "I Am Not That" there is a potential established in which something can be seen as 'not being' another thing which states, "I Am Not That [first thing]" and so on. The Original First Thought, "I Am" establishes the Circumstances for "I Am Not That" if only in referencing Chaotic Nothingness.
In order to fully understand what it is, Awareness must realize that it is indeed "Also That" - in referencing Chaotic Nothingness - at which point Awareness dissolves back into its Source and becomes Chaotic Nothingness. This is the culmination of the evolutionary process. Upon recognition of Source, the evolving identity dissolves into and becomes its identified Source. This is called Fusion of the Spirit - "I Am Also That". When this happens to Beingness, there is a state of Non-Beingness beyond which we can know nothing.

Simulation Series - Explaining the Simulation
Explaining the Simulation -
"The simulation is produced from something unlike the simulation. From outside the simulation anything inside the simulation is seen to be Illusion; while inside the simulation, the same things are seen to be reality."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, you are not your body. Your body is part of the simulation. Your mind is the player, the witness, the observer, the soul. God is the system's administrator. The universe is the system; it is self sustaining and consistent. God the administrator put the universe together, set it into motion and walked away. No further maintenance is required. But if somehow the system becomes unstable or requires an update the system can introduce subroutines to correct the problem. This subroutine fixware appears in the form of demons, angels, djinn, avatars, and modabids. There is no direct interaction of the system with the administrator. The only evidence of the administrator is in fact the system and the corrective fixware which is compatible with the system yet which lies beyond the system. Fixware becomes active within the system when needed.
The player is limited to observing only what is within the system. There are, however, hidden levels within the system that can be activated through a proper understanding of the system's composition. These levels are commonly called Dimensions or Realms. One is the Clairvoyant or the Psychic Realm. A higher realm is non-physical; it does not require processing through the physical senses so no physical presence is necessary - the body does not go there. Our observer self is essentially independent of any particular platform.
The higher realms are organized through Sequence. The physical realm is organized through a relative sense of Past, Present, and Future; or through what is known as Time. The system makes use of Time so that events seem to flow in a progressive and unidirectional manner.
I am not saying that we are living in a computer simulation of reality. This experience is much more sophisticated and it is not a simulation of reality, it is reality. Our existence is the result of a process which generates realities. We are living in one.

I have included the following although I do not necessarily agree with it.

"Simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible... But in order to get a realistic simulation of human experience, much less is needed -- only whatever is required to ensure that the simulated humans, interacting in normal human ways with their simulated environment, don't notice any irregularities."
The observation of distant stars could easily be simulated without having to simulate every aspect of their internal processes. Microscopic phenomena could also be simulated "as needed" to satisfy a particular observer at a particular time.
***
Me: In fact the only thing necessary is an observer. Everything else, including other life forms human or not, could be produced in a similar fashion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If we are living in a simulation, then the cosmos that we are observing is just a tiny piece of the totality of physical existence. The physics in the universe...that is running the simulation may or may not resemble the physics of the world we observe. While the world we see is in some sense 'real', it is not located at the fundamental level of reality." [which we could never perceive]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In some ways, the post-humans running a simulation are like gods in relation to the people inhabiting the simulation: the post-humans created the world we see; they are omnipotent in the sense that they can interfere in the workings of our world even in ways that violate its physical laws; they are omniscient in the sense that they can see everything that happens."

Post-Human -
In critical theory, the post-human is a speculative being that represents or seeks to enact a re-writing of what is generally conceived of as human. It is the object of post-humanist criticism, which critically questions Renaissance humanism, a branch of humanist philosophy which claims that human nature is a universal state from which the human being emerges; human nature is autonomous, rational, capable of free will, and unified in itself as the apex of existence. Thus, the post-human recognizes imperfection and disunity within him or herself, instead understanding the world through context and heterogeneous perspectives while maintaining intellectual rigor and a dedication to objective observations of the world. Key to this post-human practice is the ability to fluidly change perspectives and manifest oneself through different identities. The post-human, for critical theorists of the subject, has an emergent ontology rather than a stable one; in other words, the post-human is not a singular, defined individual, but rather one who can "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives.
The post-human is not necessarily human in the first place, but is rather an embodied medium through which critical consciousness is manifested.
Definition -
A post-human is a hypothetical future being "whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards."
The difference between the post-human and other hypothetical sophisticated non-humans is that a post-human was once a human, either in its lifetime or in the lifetimes of some or all of its direct ancestors. As such, a prerequisite for a post-human is a trans-human, the point at which the human being begins surpassing his or her own limitations, but is still recognizable as a human person or similar. In this sense, the transition between human and post-human may be viewed as a continuum rather than an all-or-nothing event.
Post-human God -
A variation on the post-human theme is the notion of a "Post-human God"; the idea that post-humans, being no longer confined to the parameters of "humanness", might grow physically and mentally so powerful as to appear possibly god-like by human standards. This notion should not be interpreted as being related to the idea portrayed in some science fiction that a sufficiently advanced species may "ascend" to a higher plane of existence - rather, it merely means that some post-human beings may become so exceedingly intelligent and technologically sophisticated that their behavior would not possibly be comprehensible to modern humans, purely by reason of their limited intelligence and imagination. The difference here is that the latter stays within the bounds of the laws of the material universe, while the former exceeds them by going beyond it.

Simulation Series - Life as a Wave Function
Life is a wave function.
The present moment is like a point on the wave. We do not experience the point because the state change happens faster than we are able to perceive it, so events seem to flow.
Without memory of the past as a series of set events and without an imagination of possible future events, it would always be a perpetual 'Now' and we would have no awareness that it could be any other way than how it is.
We would be in a state of perfect beingness. The Consciousness establishes the parameters for Past, Present, Future - Memory, Perception and Imagination.
It is an Illusion that the Past cannot be any other way than how we remember it; just as it is an Illusion that a Future exists.
There are only Now states which have been experienced and those which have not been experienced. The Past in this way is a Block Perception.
We are prevented from seeing the wave function due to our concentration on the point / static / particle part of the wave.
In order to experience the wave, our Perception changes it into a series of points. Perception acts as an information retrieval system.
We remember the past so that we do not choose the same moment again and again and again. The goal in perception is to move along the wave.
Our Perception is locked to the present moment as the point's position changes. We cannot experience the wave through perception alone; our Imagination gives us a taste of the wave.
We know it is there, we just can't touch it. We must relinquish our one point focus if we are to experience the continuity of the wave. We do this from the Fifth Dimension of Clairvoyance.
And in fact, our understanding of the wave function is limited by our experience of it through the only tool we have as physical entities - our perception. The wave function transcends experience and defies description.
Even the attempt at an explanation leaves out something and we can only reach an approximation of the actuality such that we can only know one thing: Whatever we say about it isn't it.
We must give up our hold on it through perception and be the wave with no concern about the past and no regard about the future, suspending time in exchange for awareness.
In this state of beingness there is no interpretation, no assignment of good or evil and no thought of free will. We become witnesses to the unfolding of the Consciousness from the perspective of Awareness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perception displaces the Awareness of Being!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Detach from the present moment of Perception and flow with the wave of Beingness. This unlocks the Fifth Dimension. This is the Aqdab Gate, the Portal to the Awareness claimed by the Mystics and the Clairvoyants.
In this state of being, psychic activity is simply another form of perception made available to the Consciousness.
