Thanks for your thoughtful comment. It...Hi Amanda,<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughtful comment. It's good to be back.<br /><br />After making this post, I had a dream where I was pretty much inside a freaky-ass video game that was indistinguishable from reality. I was at an almost impossible part, with multiple nightmarish enemies, traps, and puzzles all in one room. The first time I went in, I had no idea what I was facing, but I went ahead and did my best, even though the situation seemed beyond impossible and the main boss appeared truly scary. I did pretty well, but failed to complete my task in the end. Then I went back to before I entered the room, like a save point. This time, foreknowledge made me hyper-cautious, but it also gave me an edge. I intuited that the situation was made to be impossible when played straight, on the level of awareness that I'd had going into it. So I distanced myself, tried to see beyond it, through the surface layer of the illusion. It was then that I had nothing to fear. I was able to communicate with the main boss of the room (a soul-chillingly creepy creature, part flesh, part A.I.) and found him to be a quite intelligent fellow, with no personal ill will toward me. It was my adversarial attitude that had made his role so threatening before. Since we were communicating respectfully as equals, and I asked for his help, he gave me the missing clue to get past the room. I didn't need to fight anyone or even rack my brain to solve the puzzle. At this point, I had become aware that I was in a virtual reality, playing a dream-self avatar. The rules and values of the game then adjusted accordingly. Much more forgiving, much less trouble. :)<br /><br />Interesting conjecture about the NPC adversaries. According to John Lash's Fallen Goddess Scenario, the <a href="http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/archonfiles/PlanetPromise1.php" rel="nofollow">archons</a> are a non-living intelligence, an artifact of the fall of Sophia into her created world of Earth. It's conceivable, probable, and even inevitable that we would have such A.I. entities here, on all levels.<br /><br />I look forward to writing more here.

What a comeback post!
Since consciousn...Hi William.<br />What a comeback post!<br />Since consciousness is primary, and matter, secondary, I assume that everything in the world of matter means something. We just don't always understand what it means. I think it is highly significant that we have collectively manifested the virtual reality multiplayer RPG, and in this time, when we desperately need to remember who we are. If someone playing one of those games became convinced he was his avatar, anyone would call it delusion. Yet, that's just what we have done! I've found the virtual reality game metaphor incredibly valuable. It can help one simultaneously, maintain inner peace and fearlessly meet challenges that present themselves, since they are the whole point of the game. Personified or not, every game has one or more adversaries, else it's not a game. In virtual reality games, the major adversaries can't be played, because, if they had a choice, they might not fulfill their role in the game. I wonder how far the RPG/incarnation similarities go. It occurred to me recently that any game level is usually attempted several times, but only saved on successful completion.<br />Welcome back!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203600454983599509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287723589430614523.post-62597935261130735492012-12-28T15:10:57.697+02:002012-12-28T15:10:57.697+02:00Namaste Chris, it's pleasant to hear from you....Namaste Chris, it's pleasant to hear from you.
