Do we live in the Matrix?
In recent months I have given a great deal of thought to this issue. I think it was stimulated by an account I read of some scientists recently theorising that they suspect we live in a simulation, pretty much in line with the basics of the Matrix trilogy concept.
The more I think about it, the more I am coming around to the idea that we do indeed operate in a Matrix type simulation.
Nothing is really as it appears. We are simply plugged in to this simulated reality.
Before I expand further on my thoughts, I would be interested to read of any other board members with similar ideas.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
In eternal perspective, does it matter if out Earth life is real or just a simulation?
If simulation, would we still receive a body and do we have agency?

The poster Adonai/Emmanuel/BurningSword shared your perspective and often stated that we are in the matrix. I quote from him below:Robin Hood wrote:In recent months I have given a great deal of thought to this issue.

The spirit will reveal even scripture differently than it would be understood by eyes of man, and it is done this way to so that people learn to discern in spirit.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
Satan creates a false perspective wherein we loose sight of our infinite beginnings and unlimited potential. As intelligences (energy beings) we were not created, and have no end in our infinitely interacting with all levels of being.Robin Hood wrote:In recent months I have given a great deal of thought to this issue.

I covered this in my post "Who wants to be the next Stephen R. Covey?" viewtopic.php?t=38137
You are in the Matrix:
Freedom from the Matrix is discovering that you are an 11th dimension being, having experiences in all other 10 dimensions.
And this is the Secret to Success and Motivation.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
There are so many mysteries yet to be revealed. We live in such exciting times. I can't wait until all the closed or hidden books are unsealed and open to our view. We may find out that everything didn't quite happen the way we originally thought it did. How fun!Finrock wrote:The poster Adonai/Emmanuel/BurningSword shared your perspective and often stated that we are in the matrix.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
At one time, a thought crossed my mind that I had nothing to fear from life on this telestial earth, no matter what ever happened to me (sickness, abuse, pain) because I wasn't really here. The real me, the spirit me, was still sitting with a headset on, safe and sound in a chair in my Heavenly Father's house, or maybe in a classroom in a terrestrial setting, surrounded by loving and protective spirits directed by the Lord who were lovingly observing me and recording my reactions to my experiences in the virtual reality world called earth.Robin Hood wrote:In recent months I have given a great deal of thought to this issue.

I would suggest it is more like the Truman Show than the Matrix.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
Faith certainly seems to morph reality matrix style. Moving mountains ... walking on water.
Answers to prayers I asked today were often in the making yesterday. How can that be?
I have often wondered how there can be so many rotten selfish people throughout the existence of Earth ... unlesssss they are all AI designed to test us real people. If that could be true then maybe women are artificial intelligence designed to test us men. That's why they don't understand themselves! They are programmed that way!

and we'll see the face of God....rolled back like a scroll
Also we've been told that only here is there "Time" otherwise it doesn't exist, it's too finite for the universe..
Obviously whatever we call this earth experience, we are here to be tested; and use our faith to get over the finish line.
Seems like the whole purpose of this earth life is to justifiably partition everyone who is born on earth into different graded standings for the rest of eternity.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
For all intents and purposes I think it is likely. Whether we are plugged in or the exact mechanics or if this "meat-body" is simply our user interface, I don;t think it really matters.
I find it interesting that in the scriptures there is actually a reference to the matrix....

Are parallel universes similar to other dimensions?

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
I know we are to pray for God's kingdom to come. I also believe the spiritual energy from the temples perhaps make a spiritual light grid to enable God's kingdom to come to earth. I haven't seen the movie but there are grids of energy, and the more faithful we are the higher resonance the earth will be.

Re: Do we live in the Matrix?
There is no such thing as alternate universes or a multitude of paradigms. There is one single existence of where God is God and one direct path to him. All alternate paradigms are false paradigms.
The formula for our universe is EQM, and those people who don't understand that relationship, or relativity to God are left to wander in sin.
The Matrix is sin and ignorance.

Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.viewtopic.php?t=38137
The formula of the 11 dimensions shown above is EQM: The relationship of all Energy to all Matter is all Quality.
The 11th dimension Green Circle, God Dimension,
3 dimensions of Material Being and 3 dimensions of Energy Being that work together with the 3 dimensions of Quality Being on the Red Circle or Traveler/4th Dimension
As I have been saying, we are of the E, Q and M dimensions. Satan's plan for success is to hold our travel within the 3 Material Dimensions so that we cannot plot and travel a course to God through use of our higher dimensional being attributes and faculties.
The future Success and Motivation Course will show how the existence of tools like the Internet have assisted to open up our higher level dimensional travel and interaction opportunities. Through knowledge of these levels of interaction we will be able to utilize the "space-folding" that we are perfectly capable of doing.
The basis of this information is presented in Bruce Wydner's book, "The Fastest Way to Learn Spanish is to See 'IT.'" The "IT" is God and the fundamentals in that language program show how all levels of being work to create the motivation that brings success. So it could be said that the future Success and Motivation Industry is brought forward, not from some study of how to think and grow rich done by Napoleon Hill, from the musings of the success of Americanism of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or all of the later copy-cats from those earlier works, but by the Science behind Human Language Technology.
