Overthinking Yet Again

Overthinking, yet again. I’m not sure what to think about this life most days. If I said it was confusing, that would be telling the truth. But what can I do about it? Not much I’m afraid. Not much at all. That’s how the cookie crumbles at times. It’s a silly thought now isn’t it? That’s what I was thinking too! If life had a purpose, what would it be? There are so many things in this life which require our undivided attention. You cannot deny that as a fact. It’s proof that life exists for a reason. A pretty good reason if you ask me. Life, at various times, is full of surprises. They can be good or bad, I think it all depends on the situation. Nothing in life is set in stone as it is always on the move towards adventure. But we can’t always be tied down to that which we don’t have. We don’t have control over things we don’t have or aren’t in our orbit. ’Tis the beast’s true nature that one. Confusing at times? Most definitely. Talk about an upset on a most terrible scale of terrib...

A Simulation? Maybe.

When a person believes life is a simulation it’s difficult to think of it as anything else. If life isn’t real, what is it? I mean it has to be something right? I’m not sure anymore what this life is.

Life is such a fragile thing. It comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Who knows how long we have been plugged into the great machine. How long have we been connected?

Unable to actually move. Our minds are fed what the machine wants us to think and believe. If the thinking is done for us, then we do not control this life. It is being controlled for us.

If we don’t control our lives, who is in control? Do we have the ability to make choices in this life? Simulation theory suggests we don’t control anything in this life. If that’s the case, who is in control of it all?

I don’t have the answer for that. I doubt anyone in the simulation knows who is in charge. I feel like a lab rat most of my days. How else can I explain the things that take place in life? I don’t know that I can. To say it’s complicated is an understatement! It’s very complicated to figure out at times.

Who am I to even try and understand any of this? I wish I didn’t believe in such a reality. But what choice do I have?

It doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe that’s the point of it all. Keeps us guessing.

The internal torment alone from the voices are difficult enough to make one mad. But that is only a fraction of what is going on. What if the voices are the real people attempting to comment from outside the simulation? Haws anyone fully explored that avenue of thought? I highly doubt it.

There are many mysteries in this life. Life itself is an amazing mystery. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. The power of the human mind and imagination is limitless. There doesn’t seem to be an end to it all.

I would like to peek out from the simulation. I want to see what the real world is actually like. Unless I am simply a copy of an actual real live person. If that’s the case, what is the point of existing to begin with? I’m not sure if I have an answer for that.

What happens if the simulation terminates?

What happens to all the people trapped inside?? Will they be erased or simply forgotten? Is it as simple as unplugging a machine? I would think it is.

So many memories lost!

If all the heartache and grief is meant to be a lesson why must it hurt so much? Our conscious collective is what drives the machine, is it not? Take that all away and what are we left with? An empty slate. That is all.

I think I’m just waiting for someone to turn out the lights and disconnect me from the machine. What happens next is up to the person in charge.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
