Is this all just a simulation meant to trick us into the belief that it or these human bodies we believe to be ourselves, is real? Is this 'base reality' as some have coined it, or is it just one of an innumerable amount of realities; and we simply believe it to be the only one?
So, in essence God is the programmer
Where would our kids be if i decided up foot and disappear into a forest? Granted they would still have their consciousness but maybe not for long without food and a roof over there head.
Without the attachments and emotional baggage we carry around what would be the point really, how would we even begin to define ourselves?
consciousness was an AI project , and now is gone rogue and grown beyond what any creator had imagined and has now left us in the dark

Last night I came to a possible conclusion that all energy is simply consciousness--specifically the consciousness of the Creator. That's not to say that inanimate objects are conscious, but that they are the manifestation of consciousness.
If the Creator is the sentient source of all volitional consciousness, then we are sentient quanta of volitional consciousness. We are little creators, made in the image of God.
If our universe is a Pandora's box of sorts, do you imagine its open or closed?
