Are we living inside a virtual simulation? by Jon Rappoprt

Are we living inside a virtual simulation?

A 2012 study out of Bonn University led to a new round of speculation about the nature of the universe.

The study proposes that cosmic rays undergo a strange energy shift.  The energies are "re-fitted" to align with an underlying pattern or lattice.  There is only one proper fit; no exceptions are permitted.

If the lattice is, indeed, a basic pixel-like Reality we are interacting with every day of our lives, then we could be living inside a created artifice.

A simulation.

Put this description alongside the hypothesis that the universe is a hologram: lines of code inscribed on a two-dimensional surface deliver instructions on how the lattice is built, and what its properties are.

In other words, the software which holographically projects the universe includes the exact structure of the lattice.

Then, by the rules of the game, energies which don't automatically plug into the lattice framework precisely as they're supposed to are "snapped to" a correct fit, as Mike Adams (Natural News) has suggested.

Mike has made the analogy to a television picture, which consists of pixels that have their own dimensions and structure.  So if we imagine an all-encompassing "television picture," this would be the lattice-controlled reality we live in.

In the long-term project of putting together my collections The Matrix Revealed and Exit From The Matrix, I did a great deal of research on other notions of creation or "reality-building."

It is clear that at deep levels, propaganda turns into self-propaganda.  In order to live inside a Matrix or universe, we would have to produce, in ourselves, an extraordinary level of amnesia about what we can create.

The ancient Tibetans knew a great deal about this conundrum.  Before they became a theocratic society of rites and rituals and a rigorous elitism, they were daring adventurers on the edge of experiments in consciousness.

Relying on the teachings of itinerant outcast adepts from India, they developed a practice called, by a few later scholars, "deity visualization."  (See John Blofeld, The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet)

Perhaps based on an already existing mandala-painting, a teacher would give his student a very detailed and specific "personage" to create in his imagination.  This effort, if it was successful at all, might take months or even years.

The objective was to mentally hold the complex image intact, in every detail, not just for a few seconds or minutes, but indefinitely.  If the student was successful at this arduous task, he would soon find that the personage he created seemed to take on a life of its own.

The personage or deity would become the student's friend and guide and give him valuable advice and counsel.  When the teacher sensed this relationship had progressed to a very close point, he would order the student to get rid of the personage altogether.

This, it was said, was more difficult than the original act of creating it.  But if the student was able to perform both aspects (creative and destructive) of the exercise, he would then realize, see, and know, with full consciousness, that THE UNIVERSE WAS A PRODUCT OF MIND.

At that crossroad, he would be able to spontaneously take apart pieces of "the hologram" or "the lattice," and even create (out of nothing) new objects that hadn't existed before.

Perhaps those Tibetan adepts, in their practice, actually saw the lattice or even the two-dimensional surface on which the holographic code of the cosmos is inscribed.

Another clue concerning the origin or underlying force that made the universe is revealed through a study of the famous alchemical diagram: two crossed staves.

The four endpoints were said to represent the basic aspects or elements of Nature: earth, air, fire, and water.  According to some alchemical interpretations, these elements were in eternal conflict with one another.

The resolution of the conflict was represented by the center-place where the two staves met.  This mysterious intersection was called Quintessence, and its meaning was long debated.

Paracelsus, one of the most famous of the European alchemists, seems to have thought that Quintessence was, in fact, imagination.

In other words, our creative power could change the inherent design of reality.

The history of millions of artists on this planet directly points to the fact that, when freed from restraints, human beings become enormously creative.  Every painting, play, poem, novel is a world of its own; a universe.  This suggests that the physical universe is but one work of art, out of a possible infinity of universes.   

William Blake made several remarkable statements about the power of imagination:

"Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...and some scarce see nature at all.  But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself."

"Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow."

Of course, the notion of multiple universes is reflected in contemporary science.  Physicist Brian Greene, author of The Hidden Reality, explains that Relativity and Quantum Theory, each highly useful in its own way, come into high mathematical conflict when set side by side.

One resolution of that conflict can be achieved through String Theory, in which tiny vibrating strings (in 10 or 11 dimensions) explain the makeup of this universe.  But String Theory also suggests many surfaces or membranes or islands on which matter, energy, and time can exist: multiple universes.  

No matter what force or power we say made this universe, a new day is here.  We are coming to grips with the idea that the universe isn't all the reality there is.  Some find this disturbing.  Others are inspired to feel it is intensely liberating.

Yet another hypothesis: we are living in an interpenetration of several simultaneous universes or planes of existence.  And they're all here now, if we could see them.

The rigorous lattice or holographic code defining this universe is merely the way one plane of existence is structured.

Rather than reduce all possible universes to the principles on which this one may be built, why not consider many, many other such "works of art?"  Each universe is constructed or improvised out of the infinite well of creative freedom...
Could there be a greater illustration of the principle of Abundance?

Throughout history, humans have been reaching for, and elevating the idea of greater abundance.  In one of the early Bible stories, Old Testament Joseph, as a boy, dreams of dancing sheaves of wheat.  Wheat, grain was, for the ancients, a living symbol of abundance.

Johanna Stuckey, well-known researcher on early goddesses, points out that the Sumerian grain goddess, Ezina/Ashnan, was also called Lady of Abundance.

We have always sought, in faith, in hope, in myth, in story, in investigation the means for unending abundance.  Now, we also see it reflected in our most far-reaching contemplations: not just one universe, but many universes, without end.  Because if we are living in this virtual space and time, why shouldn't other continua exist?

Are they all simulations?  Is a painting a simulation?  Not really.  It's an independent invention, undertaken in freedom, launched from the unfettered imagination of an artist.  It is its own universe.

We are all artists.

With all veils and curtains lifted, this is the truth we have always known.
