Simulation

Introduction

Psychosis is a mental health condition involving a loss of contact with reality, characterized by symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. It often progresses through three stages—prodrome (early signs), acute (active symptoms), and recovery—and can be caused by mental illness, extreme stress, or substance misuse.¹

Okay, take that and mix it with severe depression. Guess what you have when you do that … me. That’s right! You guessed correctly. If you didn’t guess that, then you are cheating and, well, I don’t know what to tell you about that.

What Is Reality?

Let’s start at the beginning. What exactly is reality to begin with? I suppose it can be many things to many different people. Isn’t that were the trouble begins with psychosis? Ones thought of reality differs from what everyone else thinks reality is? Yeah, something like that.

I have a strong belief that we are living in a simulation. That’s to say, none of what we are existing is real. We are but pawns in someone’s game as they sit back and watch and see what we will do as we jump through all the mazes and hoops that they wish upon us. There is no escaping the simulation for we are all a part of it. Think of the movie The Matrix, but on a wider scale. There aren’t machines doing this to us, but other humans.

Have you ever felt like a lab rat? Well that’s because you are one. No one’s been able to prove it yet. That’s the problem with all of this. None of this is real. This life we’re living, all of this is the illusion and that scares people. So they play along thinking it’s real life. That way they don’t get overwhelmed with the situation at hand.

Why Are We Here?

There’s one question that people have had for thousands of years. Why are we here? Some religious people will tell you we’re here to be tested. To see if we live up to what God, or an unknown being, wants for us. Others will tell you that we are here to go through hell and see where we end up.

I, for one, don’t really have an answer as to why I am here on this Earth. It could be a mix of the two if I’m being completely honest with you. Who is to say what is real though. I don’t think there is a single man on this Earth who can say without a doubt why we are here.

Beware wolves in sheep’s clothing. Such a remarkable quote and line to remember. Also, the problem with the boy who cried wolf. Always telling the same lie over and over again, eventually people will forget about you because you are lying to them. Perhaps his problem was he told the same lie twice. I don’t know for sure, that’s not my department of expertiese.

The Powers That Be Let You Down

We are all here experiencing our own state of consciousness. There’s no other way to deswcribe it. At least I don’t think there’s a way to describe it. I won’t lie, it would be nice to be able to figure everything out once and for all. But I don’t see that happening, not until we are all dead and gone that is.

The ones in charge of this little project have really screwed us over. It’s not our fault we are going through hell most days. That’s how this world was designed. It wasn’t designed with comfort in mind, it was designed with hard labor and sweat. I suppose you could say it was destined to be this way. There was no other way it could have happened or come about. Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

How else am I meant to perceive the world around me? If I see things in black and white, then that’s how I see them. There’s nothing I am able to do to change the way I think about things. If I could give one word of advice to this generation, run. Don’t walk, run. You won’t get anywhere by simply walking. They will chase you down faster than you can say “I’m running away.” It’s that simple. Those in charge want us to suffer. That’s how they perform their experiments and how we learn right from wrong and which buttons to press vs which ones to avoid.

I wish more people could see that in this world. But they don’t get it. I don’t think a lot of people understand what’s going on in life and that scares the hell out of me. I don’t think there are many ways to get the point across. I mean, we are here and there’s nothing wrong with that. I think that’s an okay thought process to have. But to understand why we are here and who is in charge of this madness? We need to dig deeper. I’m pretty sure it won’t come as an easy thing to comprehend, but we can try.

Job In The Bible

A good example of living in a simulation is Job in the Bible. God and Satan had a wager. Satan said he could make it possible that Job would lose his faith. God said otherwise. So they had a bet. There was one condition, Satan could do anything he wanted, but he couldn’t take Job’s life. Satan agreed and the test or simulation began.

Put simply, everything was taken away from Job. Starting with his family. Satan literally destroyed this man’s life. Yet he did not curse God, in fact he continued to worship God with all his heart, might, mind, and strength. I’m sure that puzzled Satan to no end.

This is probably one of the most early examples of living in a simulation that we have. One complete with overseers. Those who watch the simulation to make sure certain rules and guidelines are met. I would say that this is considered proof that we are in fact living in a simulation.

A Stage

Was it not Shakespeare who said that the world is a stage, and we are merely players?² Perhaps he was talking about life being a simulation. We are simply existing in a place between worlds. The stage we live on, and exist on is here and there is no other place to go.

What if I’m in a coma, that’s the stage, and I am dreaming all of this. No one in my life is real, and I am just trying to catch up with the rest of it and get back to what is real. I talk to other people, and they tell me I’m not in a simulation. That this is real life. But how can they be so determined that this is real? I mean, how do they know? What if they’re part of the program? They know the truth and are told to lie about it, so I never find out what’s going on. Maybe I’m getting closer to the truth. Maybe they don’t like that.

Nothing Makes Sense

Let’s face it, nothing in this life makes sense. I don’t make the rules, that’s just how life is. If I did make the rules about my life, I’m sure everything would be completely different. Maybe life is supposed to be this way, perhaps it’s not about the rules that matter but the fact that we exist, for some reason, yet we don’t always know what that reason is.

Maybe one day I’ll figure everything out that’s meant to be figured out. Then again, that might not be possible. I’m not certain what is and isn’t possible these days. I mean, what’s the point of it all? I don’t get it. I suppose if I had all the answers, this life wouldn’t be so difficult to comprehend. But life isn’t that simple. There’s always something out there that will change tomorrow. It’s not always for the best though. Sometimes change is bad.

Something tells me this life will only get worse. It doesn’t want to get better or easier. If it did, wouldn’t it all have happened by now? Perhaps not. The truth will always eventually come forward, but that doesn’t mean it will happen now. Not such a silly thought now, is it? It’s something that just happens. If I had the ability to see the future, maybe I could understand things that I don’t currently.

Conclusion

In the end, it might not matter. Everything could be a simulation or it might not be. Either way life will continue on like it always does. Life doesn’t care if we’re coming or going. That’s simply how life spins and we are all along for the ride.
