As I know, we live in a virtual reality created by ourselves in the future what questions can you ask me to provide evidence?
Awesome question.Why did we create this universe for ourselves?Did we all agree to it? Many of our biblical references suggest we did.What's the point of it all?Why make some suffer and others prosper?What is the end game? Ie. A sim needs a purpose.Whats with all the world problems?Why do we have cancer, mental illness, demetia and other health issues? Why would you put that in your sim?Sims have something to learn or enjoy. The latter is off, unless we messed this place up? What are we trying to learn here?Is this our creation, one persons, or a groups creation? If not our creation, what purpose do we serve to the creator?Is the creator with us?Do the psychedelics have a purpose? Why is DMT produced naturally by the brain?Why are there 7 billion here, when we could achieve our objectives with less?Are we artificial intelligence creating a human experience for us?Did we fuse with AI in the future and we asked it how to survive? Did it create this place to teach us the problems of being human and that reaching to empathy and compassion is the only way. Hate, anger and negativity must be used properly to protect us, not cause problems to one another.What has your future self done to our world Sean? You need to work on your programming skills.Why do I no longer feel time and the rest of you do?When do we leave and how?Last question. Did you forget to turn the anti virus software and firewalls on? Virus attack messed up your creation ;)That should be enough for now. Expect to be grilled with more later boy!Tc Sean. Look forward to your explanation.
If we create the world we live in, why do we create bad things in it?
I would argue that we don’t actually create the bad things in our world. “Bad things” are a consequence of creating good things. For example, the automobile was created in the late 1800s in order to make it easier for people to transport themselves across vast distances. As a result of this innovative, world-changing product, we have changed the composition of our atmosphere to such a large extent that we are now witnessing a change in global climate. Since we created a “good thing”, we also created a “bad thing”.It also depends on what you consider to be a “bad thing”. I would also like to mention that a lot of the “bad things” to a common person would be drugs, crime, and weaponry. However, these could also be considered good things to others. To a boy whose parents are going through a tough divorce, drugs may be an escape route for him. To an elderly women who is completely out of money, stealing may be the only way for her to eat. To a soldier in the middle of combat, a gun is the most important thing to his/her survival.It would be nice if we could create a perfect world. In reality though, “bad things” are what make humans the perfect imperfect beings that we are. If you have ever read The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, you may be familiar with an idealistic future species of human descendants known as the Eloi. The Eloi live in a world where almost all things are “good things”. In this story, the innocence of the Eloi becomes their greatest weakness since they lack survival skills which ultimately makes them vulnerable to nature’s threats.Hopefully this was an insightful post that can spur further discussion.
Who created the world, and why are we living here?
Before we go back to the origin of the world, to answer your second question, we’ll go back to our origin. The world created us, so why not live here? Being this intelligent sentient, we’ve come to this habit of questioning things, which is very good as it helps you understand the world, but how about enjoying it? Should you question it to enjoy it? No. In order to enjoy it, you need to let go, accept it. Believe me, enjoying it is as much important as you understand it. So, get out find something that was born just like you from this world and embrace it, find yourself in it, give yourself to it, that way you get to save yourself even when the self perishes. The feelings from mere understanding of the world won’t ever come close to the feelings you get becoming the world to someone or something.
I hate the world we live in, shouldn't I just kill myself?
I don't think you will like this answer, but here it is anyway: "The overwhelming majority of people I meet are either spineless or liars or backstabbing or all. Everything and every decision boils down to money. Hypocracy runs rampant." You are WAY too judgmental. Why do you have one-sided friendships? Because people are scared to mess up for feeling judged by you. Your judgments are so harsh, they don't even come close to the truth, although technically accurate insomuch as most people lie at one time or another. You focus on what you see as people's flaws. We humans do have weaknesses and areas we need to improve on, but we are mostly good. VERY FEW, if any, are evil. Focus on the good, and you will see more of it. Remember, judgment ALWAYS limits perception. It ALWAYS stops you from seeing the depth & light in people and situations. Judgment is more about the judge than the judged. The 'flaws' you see in others remind you of the flaws you perceive in yourself, regardless if those are real or not. That is why you react so strongly, otherwise you would simply brush it off. Killing yourself, sadly, does not solve anything. You are not a body, you are spirit. You will come back and do it all over again, in another body or form. You don't need to change the world, only yourself. Start by finding your own inner essence, those things you value most deeply. Rest in this awareness. Live your life totally commited to your values. You don't have to be perfect, just have the commitment. Refuse for a time to make any judgments about yourself or others. Lead with the heart, the mind is an excellent servant but a poor master. Namaste. EDIT: The key is really to like yourself, if you don't, anything that works will only be temporary. I recommend watching The Secret (whole movie not just the trailer)
Do you want to know why we live in an evil world?
Religions are a mixed bag. At one level, they are fueled by the same desire that drives scientific inquiry: the desire to know why things are as they are and where do I--and those like me--fit into it all? So, the initial motivations may have been honest, but as you rightly point out, some members of the human community have used it as a way to control and abuse people, and get rich, down through the centuries. Given that history, we really have a choice. we can keep questioning and keep an open mind being willing to use scientific inquiry to understand our universe and how we might fit. Some would say religion--all religion is a relic of the past which has too much baggage and should be discarded. I understand the bitterness as many religions do have less than stellar histories concerning the way they have treated people. But, I submit, it is possible to look at religions--all of them--with fresh eyes and try to see the deeper psychological benefits which may be gleaned from them. For example Siddhartha the Buddha really wanted to help humans end suffering and found a path to free people from that painful existence. He found that a life of excess and a life of deprivation would not satisfy. Jesus of Nazareth, or Rabbi Yeshua if you prefer his Jewish name and title, taught that all people were brothers and sisters and to love each other as you loved yourselves. Other leaders and practitioners of other religions have taught the same only with their own understanding in their own cultural context. Do those religions make mistakes, have poor assumptions of the world, steal legends from other traditions, justify persecutions based on "true belief" and I could go on? Of course, they did, but I believe those deeper meanings have value and are worthy of discussion, exploration and application as we learn about what the grand universe is really like.
Do we live in different worlds?
Whoa. This question fascinates me.In Mexico we have a saying: "Cada cabeza es un mundo" (every head is a different world.)Have you ever read Oliver Sacks? He was a professor of neurology and wrote many incredibly beautiful books (and articles) about the experiences he came across, usually in the form of case histories. One of his books, called "Awakenings", was made into a movie with Robert De Niro.Oliver Sacks died recently and wrote several insightful and poignant articles about his experience as he approached death.Of all the books he wrote my favorite is called "An Anthropologist on Mars". (I discovered it because I was visiting a friend's house and the lights went out. The book had a glow in the dark cover so I walked right to it and pulled it off the shelf.)In it he describes seven patients with extreme neurological conditions that have integrated their illness into their lives. They have all managed to be fully functional because of what they live with and not in spite of it. The book is called "An Anthropologist on Mars" because he claims the worlds of each of his patients are so different from ours that it is akin to them living on other planets; planets he visits in order to better understand and learn from these highly adaptive personalities. I believe we each live in a different world. It's only through getting out of your own head and putting others before yourself that you can, if only temporarily, pay a visit to another person's planet. If you're lucky, you like the view and get to stay a while.
