    If you meditate you will come to realisation that every thing is stimulation … because while meditation we not neither sleeping nor engaging with the stimulation… In old Hindu Scriptures it is already written that the world is Maya. maya means illusion.. and don’t worry we are not operated by other creature, its just we are dreaming this dream of reality .. we are that consciousness itself.. and if you want to know what is consciousness or why we are dreaming.. for that we have to meditate

    I don't buy it. Suggesting that the universe is a simulation based on the Second Law of Info dynamics is silly because the laws of physics, including thermodynamics, are empirical descriptions of the universe as we observe it. The second law of thermodynamics pertains to physical entropy, and it is not directly transferable to information entropy without substantial evidence, which he has none of and only his own, made-up description for it. His claim that mutations minimize information entropy contradicts established understandings of randomness in mutations.

    what if were living in a simulation created by robots that we made but became self aware and put all of humanity in a simulation…
    wait, I just described the matrix…

    So the alien who controls me is pushing the "suicidal thoughts" button just for fun and when he gets bored of my suffering he is like "okay make character kill themselves"

    I will give you another reason that we could be in a simulated universe: the expansion of the Universe!
    Why? Because as we scientifically and technically develop, and everything is getting more and more complex in this World, the simulation must make space for all of this by removing things from the simulation, because the computational power is finite and not unlimeted without boundaries!

    I did dmt once and was sent to a diamond room and something told i was all there is and all there will ever be we are all and nothing which made total sense told me we are all creation and creators you can not have nothingness without something life and death are all the same

    That's why we say don't think too much about reality. Don't try to gain too much knowledge or learn about too many things to the point where you start saying. "I wish I didn't know all this. It can happen for you Those who don't want to know such things strange should not try to get more knowledge too much Knoebels whatever it be can also cause harm. For example you learn that might be wrong for example if we talk about science too much knowledge lead to things like atom bomb or global warming etc wich harm the world. That is why just chill and enjoy the life. Don't waste time chasing excessive knowledge. Tale only knowledge that you need. Everything has a limit and that that's fine including knowledge and enjoy life as its truly is ,which might actually be real.

    Look the root is 80008. Around 999 and 959 are the real culprits and roots. Serve them karma according to their deeds. Monitor them continuously. Dont extrapolate them to external world and collect energy from 959 or 999. Cut the roots. So external world automatically evaporates by garb chidra. Start with the officer and his driver who mocked. And then there are pending personals due for delivery. Since you have power and authority , you try this before it get so complicated at global level then you hardly can win by edge. Shinobu codes are like that. Algorithms first appear in front of 999 not the other way around. You so far played all the way wrong. Gave no help but tried to attack 999! Instead you could prevent and take over the situations. If 999 fails it falls on you with heavy burden. Mostly you cant resolve it and see Kiev and aviv. If the news is not heard in this afternoon, choose your will but learn through hard ways. 999 cant take down anyone in simulation as the players are not in simulation but used as puppets. I doubt the dad of 999. Very much and he needs to be stopped at least by his ego manipulations etc to a calm and quiet state. Since he feels healthy and locomotive he will be energising his counter parts extracted from him. He does not know this matrix simulation and intel may think i am lying for my best interest or delusional. You cant win external events without the courtyard events upper hand and you gave 999 no power’s materially. Nor you help him win against his enemies who irrationally taking advantage over him.
