We ARE the universe, every single one of us is the universe experiencing itself. The universe is the totality of everything that is seen and unseen and we are that totality existing right now in infinite places at once and throughout time forever.

It could be a simulation.
Then again, I've seen the whole argument pushed as if its needed to explain our universe, which then creates the even bigger problem: what does the real universe look like then?

We could be in a simulation running inside a simulation running inside a simulation on a computer that a long extinct race forgot to turn off.

I was about to star and flag your good post. Then you left a Michael Jackson video at the end.

I guess I have a lot in common with a pantheist as far as my beliefs go but I don't really label myself as such. I teeter between it and panentheism (which is slightly different).

I can't stand most pop music but as a spiritual person I shall pour a glass and give it a listen. I did enjoy a select few MJ songs as a child. If the song is fitting I'll S&F.

Yes, good song. Didn't remember it by title but most of us know the song.

Pantheism is the belief that everything is God, panentheism is also the belief that God is everything in the universe but also extends outside of it to say that God is greater than the universe and operates outside of space and time.
I believe that everything is God (pantheist) but I also believe that God operates outside of time and space (panentheist). Nothing is outside of time and space because everything exists within space and time, God is both the nothing and the everything.

The Architect is in the 5th dimension directing the 4th dimension (the screen and keyboard) to act out within the 3rd dimension (computer simulation).
The Spirit is the 5th, the mind where thoughts and the image are located is the 4th and the world around us is the 3rd.

If our universe is a computer simulation that we call reality, it must have an (software) ARCHITECT that programmed the whole lot.
