I think that what we see is reality for sure. But it is only a part of reality. There is much more than what we see. I believe our soul is an implanted quantum computer in our DNA that replicates itself in our children. But that does not mean we have no free will.
From www.evawaseerst.be... :
Plato learned us that God, Love and Light are bounded in a very close relationship. Plato learned us too that this world is just a reflection of the real world. That the materialistic world is not the real world. That after dead our soul enters 'The Light', the real world.
Plato knew that from the Egyptian priests. We see no other explanation.
Nick Bostrom (his book: Superintelligence) and Elon Musk are great thinkers on different domains: They fear artificial intelligence. They even fear humans could end as bootloaders for digital intelligence. Mr Bostrom even seems to think we are not living in a real world, but in a computer simulation. (That makes me think about Plato's cave.) But mr Bostrom is guessing just like we all have to do.

Just read the secret book of john (apocryphon of john). The mystics of old were way ahead of us.

Seriously, though. The majority of this forum (from what I've read, I might be wrong), but ok, let's say a big percent of the people on this forum believe that NASA is hiding the Truth. Another big percent of the people do not even believe people landed on the Moon, yet when NASA says (which they never did btw) that some mojo stuff is possible, then people go mental. I mean, they said it's possible, but knowing how we don't know almost anything ( ), on theory "nothing is impossible" (the Hollywood guy can jump in here and talk about Nike, conspiracies etc.)
On the topic itself - I don't think personally for myself that if this is true I'd feel good about myself. I mean, what's good about it (I read the posts above), it's just that it does not feel right.. I am a conscious human being with my dreams, goals and feelings, so # you aliens and your giant computer

Most aliens are also creation of the simulation, as they exist within the universe. The Simulator possesses power beyond the Aliens.
Regardless, I don't know how this is different from knowing that you were "created." It's ironic that mankind has continually seek for the existence of God, then once they've finally found him, they deny him, because it implies some kind of hierarchy.

Right. Aliens drafting an enormous simulation makes perfect sense but God is for idiots. Whatever. . .
Exactly. We have computers, We know they exist. We have VR worlds , we know they exist.
We know we are all fundamentally energy and the double slit experiment says observation effects reality. Exactly like a MMORPG only runs instances with a player inside the dungeon and shuts it down when no one is logged on.
While every religions creation myth has been TOTALLY debunked and offered zero insight into physics and the history of the universe.
So yes (at least every organized religion I know of) people who believe in a god are idiots.
There is only one idiot in this discussion, as I see it. Sorry.

I find it Ironic....
Post a thread saying NASA claims that the universe could be created by a powerful race/beings , as a virtual/alternate reality....
50 flags, well received by others "this is perfectly plausible"
Create a thread that we were created by a powerful being written about in old txts?
Get called a stupid foolish religious idiot that believes in a sky god...
Anyone see the hilarious hypocrisy thats glaringly evident.....

No, because the people who wrote the anchient texts were a bunch of wife beating, slave owning pedophiles who thought the earth was flat.
While real life scientists are responsible for ALL the wonders of the modern world...

not only that, scientist tend to look at history as well to reference different things and evaluate theories......
But thats ok , we will just throw all of that out.........
Wouldnt it be hilarious if these aliens they are claiming end up being misogynistic, barbaric beings.....
Sweet sweet Irony

Maybe it's better to leave religious discussions in the religion forum . It's a scientific story nothing more...

Oh for sure. At the back end of all these discussions is really nothing more than a desire to bash the notion of God or bash humans in general. This idea that any and all aliens have to be benevolent is laughable. . .

Why is the natural world so perfect?
..Because it is based on mathematics, the most accurate and complex code of mathematics our creators could fathom.
Why?
..To simulate their world as accurately as possible and discover why.
To what end?
..Well, we as humans have always asked what the meaning of life would be, or how everything began. What better way to simulate it all in as an accurate method as we could and observe.
