The simulation is society, that what you call your culture, your flag, your "heroes", your "founding fathers", your bill of "rights", your nationality, your job, your politicians, your money, your wars, your "friends". Then, the universe is holographic, because it's not made of matter, it's made of light. Matter is "hard light", proven by scientific research.
Love is real. Your emotions are real. The fact that you are not able to listen to your soul because this western materialistic society has turned you into an insensitive human being (when was the last time you read poetry or admired art?), doesn't make life a simulation. Your life might be one though. I mean no disrespect.
Probably what you are feeling is that all your "beliefs" on this society/culture are being demolished, which is a great thing. That's the matrix people like you talk about. By dissolving all those manufactured ideas regarding "America" and all what you seem to uphold, are getting closer to remember what real life is. Your mind is having trouble accepting it.
What country does one have to live in to reach such superior enlightenment? Obviously it's not the nasty USA where all the think-alike, inbred redneck hillbillies are.
@Quadrivium I've read the book 'Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot, and found a lot of food for thought, but it brought up more questions than answers for me. The only thing I'm sure of anymore is I don't really know anything about the mysteries of the universe.
As an aside, the appearance of a crow is a sigh of good fortune, but also associated with the 'trickster. and be a warning of deceiving appearances.

I've seen two large aircraft seemingly just hover in place,
I once saw a house fly and a horse fly on the same day. Cool.
deja vu is spooky & fun . To increase the deja vu effect just allow yourself to become sleep deprived. Deja Vu is a mental glitch & not a matrix glitch . Or another way to put it is that our brain glitches while experiencing the matrix.

Hello ATS,
An odd story for your consideration:
49 years on this rock and I am finally convinced it is a simulation. Oh, I have always had my suspensions, little things catching my attention, feelings of deja vu, premonitions and so forth.
What I saw last week sealed the deal for me though.
While driving home from work, about a mile from home, I passed a large open field. There, as if frozen in time, was a crow. I glanced and had an odd feeling and glanced back. At this point I realized what was causing the odd feeling I was experiencing and started slowing the truck down.
The crow was not moving. It was as if someone had stuffed the bird and just left it hanging in the sky, about 30 to 40 feet above the field.
It was almost like being inside of a panoramic photo or looking at a frozen 3D hologram.
I live close to the coast and have spent a lot of time on the water. I have watched gulls and ospreys hover or ride the wind while not moving their wings.
This was completely different. It was as if someone hit the pause button on the bird, mid-flight. Also, there was little to no wind that evening.
Once I passed out of view, I almost turned around and now wish I would have.
Something tells me, though, that it would not have been there.
So ATS, glitch in the Matrix or something else?
Has anyone else had odd experiences recently?
