Are we actually hallucinating in a collective Matrix simulation? Means the world is not real and we don’t really exist at least not in the way we think. Lots of people believe that but I actually get the eerie feeling that it is more than a conspiracy theory.
That strange feeling comes only when I am showering. The first time it happened I almost had a panic attack. I had just come to NYC and newly moved in to where I am living now. So I step in the shower and instantly I feel like I am somewhere else totally. It was really intense. I couldn’t even turn on the water. I just stood there naked ready to bolt. It was a feeling like something wasn’t right. Like another world was right there just beyond the tiles. I know it sounds insane but it was how I felt. For awhile I just couldn’t shake that feeling. Eventually it subsided. I turned on the water and got back into reality.
But imagine the implications. This world a simulation, our lives not real and everything meaningless. We saw that crazy premise played out in the Matrix film but what if the reality is totally different. Not machines manipulating us but other humans, gods even, playing us as puppets for their amusement. That would be a total mind f**k. Absolutely world destroying if we ever found out. Means thousands of years of human existence not real. How could we go on? We wouldn’t. What would be the point? Your mother never birthed you. You never lost your virginity. No sunsets, Internet, lollipops. We die when these gods lose in the game they are playing against other gods or advanced humans. This would be even worse than the present hell heaven afterlife stories we take for granted. Imagine that. We die because a super human lost a game or wasn’t paying attention to their simulation.
I still get the feeling whenever am in the shower, though not that often like before. And it is a lot less intense. It never got that intense again like the first time. Maybe I was trying to escape the Matrix that first time and almost succeeded. Now they got me in solitary confinement drugged to the end of my simulated life.

Great. I'm going to be thinking about this and be all paranoid for ages now XD
I wonder how they play people almost finding out, up the fake news and put on more disdain on all those conspiracy theory nuts? :D
Seriously though that feeling would have been surreal and somewhat terrifying.
yea it was pretty surreal. hehe.
I believe this world is in fact a simulation of the real, hidden, spiritual world. We are in a simulation. Matrix gave a few insights into our "reality", but there was another excellent film covering the matter, called "13th floor". A must watch.
Yea I saw the 13th floor. Real interesting film.
Yes! I think it gave me even more to think about than Matrix.
definitely
Well if you think about it we dont really perceive the world as it really is at all. Science shows us that we only see a tiny part of the light that is all around us, we cant see really tiny objects either, we only hear part of the sounds around us as well.
Your brain takes all the data it receives and creates an imaginary model of the world based on prior experience, thats it, its just a model that you have made and most of the time gives you an excellent way to understand and predict what will happen. Its more than just physical data too, you model people, pets, organisations, everything.
Accepted scientific theories, are also just models too, most scientists would agree they dont actually know for sure whats there, but the theories and laws they have created are excelent predictive tools, and as such are almost indestinguishable from reality, except for the bits they didnt manage to properly model yet.
So we are all locked inside our own matrix, its so all-encompassing we cant even see, hear or touch it. Sometimes the model we have needs a slight correction, this can happen wihout us noticing, other times we are shocked as our model is totally wrong (your lover cheats on you!).
So maybe your shower experience, was a tantilizing glimpse of perception, you saw behind your own magic curtain for a moment...
wow mind blown. You definitely took it on a whole new level.
Its like when you are dreaming, and you let go of a ball and instead of it falling to the ground, it flies away, and then you fly after it; you dont KNOW its a dream at the time, to you this is really happening and you are amazed and confused, because your dream is just inside your matrix too. Then you wake up and if you remember the dream, you realise and are relieved that your model wasnt totally wrong, and that if you drop a ball, you wont be able to fly... or will you...? Maybe this is a dream, he he :)
mad interesting. I do fly in my dreams. your dream is inside your matrix. that is a next level. like inception.
Ugh that film gave me a headache!
Ya it was mad complicated.
I am pretty convinced that what we perceive isn't reality but a figment of our imagination. However this doesn't mean it's meaningless. All we go through, the experience itself is what puts a meaning to it.
Some new theories actually do state that we indeed live in a matrix with 95% probability...
What we see is just a simulation our minds create based on the data we receive from our sensory receptors. There is lots we cannot see. Perhaps even hidden doorways.
One of the first times I was on mushrooms I was in the bathroom looking at the wall, and it was as if there was a portal there. I was looking through and there were things looking back.
Perhaps all reality is simulated as that is just the nature of how things work. Our universe(simulation) could have other universes overlapping on top of us, but on a different frequency or wavelength so we cannot see or interact, but perhaps they can see us.
Many religious ideas are based around a spiritual world which we cannot see, and there is the idea that this world is an illusion to trick us into forgetting our real selves.
I believe this world is in fact a simulation of the real, hidden, spiritual world. We are in a simulation. Matrix gave a few insights into our "reality", but there was another excellent film covering the matter, called "13th floor". A must watch.
I have seen it ^_^
Might give it a rewatch soon.
I do believe there are hidden doorways all around us. I call it the 4th dimension.
Fun to think about it that way
hehe hmm.
Lots of theories and ideas behind this goes back to the brain in the vat idea
yea true that.
Keep it up, the world is an ancestor simulation to study our behavioural movements. Think of it like ants. We study ants but we don't communicate with them. The same thing could be happening to us.
Not cool :)
Lol, it actually doesn't matter if this is an simulation or not, there is now way to escape. Just embrace😉
Ikr. Damn!
I dont doubt it especially when thinking of space which can not be infinite. So if we are in a simulation they knew adding religion/politics will keep us on one planet for a very long time
For real. Religion and politics the opium of the huddled masses.
Oh yea it justs cycles as to which one blocks progress and/or causes terror like now
Most definitely!
Woaah bro
:)
Yes we do live in a virtual bubble...created for us to experience things and grow
We are not the body/vehicle, but the bit inside...the thing that wonders what all this is about
Sometimes we can 'see' outside the bubble, thru the use of exotic herbage or removing ourselves from what is termed reality by meditation, that is sitting still...the films and books we read, like the Matrix, are given to us to point us in the right directions
Dreams are windows to guide us...the lighter the dream, the higher the vibration were on...there are many levels to this existence
Our eyes only work within a certain bandwidth, but there are many more bandwidths out there, xray, microwave, etc....we cant see them, so we dont register them. Cats and dogs however do...which is why they freak at something thats not there...and we think 'stupid animal'...in actual fact they are seeing things that are there, but on a different bandwidth
You can ignore this reply....but it doesnt stop the fact that this universe that we think is the 'everything' is only a small microscopic part of 'what is'
Welcome to the pleasuredome....as Frankie would say🤙
Awesomeness!
nice post
thanks :)
