Unless life is a dream, nothing makes sense - Thomas Ligotti

My quest to understand the nature of reality started with critical examination of the happenings in this world. I went down the rabbit hole of corporate greed, religious dogma, academic indoctrination, medical fraud, military industrial waste, political theater, etc. At each step, WE the people, ordinary citizens, were blamed for these entities. Called Hipocrites if we worried about global warming but used plastic straws. We voted wrong, ate the wrong things, had the wrong attitude. Our trauma was the result of our negative attitude about the world, a lack of verve. However, recent activism against data centers shows the flaw in this argument. Entire towns have come together to fight these atrocities, using reasoning, research, clear communication and verified legal channels to voice their opposition, and guess what? The people were heard. The people were told their arguments were solid. And without further notice, within months, a new data center complex went up right in those residential areas. Fine print legalese won the day. So. We the people have the reins? No.

Next I explored the nature of reality itself. What it this which we perceive? Who are we? This led me to simulation theory (see Melvin Vopson, Danny Goler DMT laser guy), quantum physics (quantum level wave/particle vibration), and the very real possibility that consciousness is the fundamental substrate of our existence (see Donald Hoffman). What is consciousness? We don’t really know. It’s some awareness, some energetic potential that brings a specific perceptual coherence to these bits of energy. But it’s undeniable that, without an observer, there is nothing to experience. I mean, there might be for something out there, but then you have an observer.

Finally, there was the spiritual aspect. Within our individualized field, we have a sense of OUR experience. We can sense an expansion of it, especially through body-altering states or chemicals. We can perceive a contraction, a shutting down of connection to external and internal experience. We have a sense of the unknown, the invisible, the undefinable thing that runs us without our conscious action. We just need to feed and hydrate this machine and it keeps going. But there is something else. We also need to dream. Literally and figuratively, it’s our dreams that keep us ‘alive’.

So what is this dream world all about? I believe our dream reality best connects all the disciplines of thought into one logical narrative. It’s been hypothesized since ancient times that we are but in a dream. Chuang Tzu (369 BCE), Rene Descartes, Plato. And these remote viewers from Intuitive Underground.

Short clip below, the full interview is well worth watching.

Summary: There was an intergalactic war. WE energetic sparks were the losers of this war. The reality we once created may have looked a lot like our planet Earth. But our energy was contained in pods, connected through a central hub that generated a consensus reality simulation, and harvested for the energy we produced via engagement with this reality. They write the rules of the simulation, and they are quite dystopian [see our eat-or-be-eaten world]. We have been kept in this unethical 'experiment’ by a type of fine print legalese that obtains our ‘consent’, cycle after cycle.

So, the mission becomes: What is this ‘consent’ they speak of? What is the dance of free-will vs. trickery that the Gnostics warned about? What is this wheel of endless birth, death and rebirth that Hinduism, Buddism and Sikhism describe? The path to understanding how consent works in the afterlife is the path to freedom here.
