why we may live in a virtual reality (but NOT a simulation)

You may have forgotten this, but you are an eternal spiritual being having a very temporary human experience. And when we come here, when we come to this reality, and I say that because we are eternal spiritual beings having temporary human experiences, so we've existed beyond just this body, this form. When we come here, we forget that. Honestly, that's what makes it so challenging to be here. And my guess is that if you're here right now, you're probably somebody that's gone through a spiritual awakening or are going through a spiritual awakening or probably about to go through a spiritual awakening. Because right now what is happening on the planet is more people are waking up than ever before. You can take this channel as a symbol of that. There are more people joining. There are more people that are awake to this kind of information than when I even started, like, you know, 3, 4 years ago making YouTube videos. But one of the things that we all agree to collectively experience all in our own way is a forgetting of who we are so that we could then remember who we are. Now the thing is, is when we went through that process, there was a lot of pain involved. Most of us may have had or been in families where there was a lot of trauma. There was a lot of patterns that we were working to transmute. And because of that pain though, the benefit that comes out of it is that then we go through a lot of pressure. And you see, the thing is, is pressure creates more of a desire to go inwards. And that inwardsness that we begin to go in, we begin to realize these new things about ourselves. They're not really new, they're ancient. All the ancient, many ancient civilizations talk about this. But it's, it's really right now, people are waking up to it. And the pain that we went through served a purpose to get us to a point of going within ourselves to question things. And I think that when you look out into society right now and you see all the craziness that's happening, it's all happening because the old system is falling apart. The old system, the old way of going about things. Now here's a perspective. This is going to be a little bit more of an esoteric video than, than my normal videos, but I really wanted to show you and to create a stillness that through this video you can connect to almost like a kind of like a download or something like that. I don't know. I mean, I know it sounds esoteric, but the idea and the understanding that I wanted to share with you is that everything in our reality is in a way a symbol. Carl Jung used to talk about this. When I look into reality sometimes from a higher perspective, a higher point of view, when I'm in meditation, which I just was, even something like this, right? This beautiful cactus right here. Like, think about how poetic some of this is. Like, you have these sharp prickly things and you have this beautiful cactus that doesn't even require that much water. And even now, as I just was doing that, I got this on my hand and it just, it's kind of painful. But there's like beauty in that. When you look at a rose, think about the symbolic, you know, I'm recording this on Valentine's Day. Think about the beautiful symbol of a rose. Now from a higher dimensional point of view, imagine there was like, you know, we were thinking of these colors, which all maybe had different symbols. We were thinking of like, The fact that a rose is so beautiful, but it has these thorns on it, and if the thorns prick you, it hurts. And in a way, that's a very beautiful metaphor for love, you know, and the rose itself is like an embodiment of that love energy. Now I know it's a symbol. I know that sounds kind of out there, but when you look out into reality just in general and you look at like beautiful views like this, you look at how everything works together. The thing that I really wanted to point your attention to is that everything in our reality from a higher perspective. You know, I don't think we necessarily live in a simulation like a computer. I think it's more so we live in like a virtual reality. You know, I just recently also got an Oculus. You guys seen these Oculus, this thing that you wear? And I just like to play around with this sometimes. I put it on and I literally, it's like you feel like you're there and it trips you out because if you take it off then you're like, oh wait, I'm here. What's to say at a higher perspective, a higher point of view, We created, or source energy, whatever we call it, created this beautiful virtual reality that we could be in. And there were certain lessons to learn here. And one of the lessons was learning unconditional love, learning how to love ourselves, learning how to love other people. Now the challenge is that when we came here, there were certain patterns in place, maybe from parents, from conditioning, from our environment, maybe even power control dynamics on the planet that were set to keep people in certain states of consciousness, to keep people from knowing and remembering who they really were. So we sit there, we read newspapers, we compare ourselves to other people. We are in, you know, a lot of you look at the media and stuff like that. It is all, keeps people in fear mentality so that they don't go within and they don't question different things. They don't question their reality. But if you study the Dolores Cannon material, if you study the Law of One material, if you study a lot of the ancient teachings, they all show the same thing, that awakening is a state of consciousness where we remember, we expand the scope out just a little bit, we expand the scope out and we start to see things through from a more expanded point of view. So a lot of times when I look into reality, you know, I think about the four seasons and the contrast there. It could be snowing, it could be snowing on Wednesday here in Sedona or Tuesday. And I have a buddy that's going to come and hang out, my buddy Victor Odom, and you guys know him. And it's like, oh, let's hang out this day. So we go hiking because Tuesday it's going to snow. The beauty of the contrast that we experience here and the purpose behind it all, how it all just fits together. But this is a virtual reality we live in and doesn't mean it's a simulation like we live in a computer. But what's to say that we're not right now asleep in higher states of consciousness dreaming that this is who we are. Think about that. We could be in higher states of consciousness right now projecting ourselves here, and we go to bed at night, I think we reconnect with that source energy. We get symbols in our dream state of different energy patterns we're working through so that we can integrate some of the things we're learning in life. But it becomes kind of challenging when we forget that that's who we really are. We really are unconditional love. This is who we are. And there are certain lessons that are meant to be learned. Now, one of the main lessons I want to share with you is that everything in life, everything is based on the meaning we give things. Even as I look at that cactus, even as I look at that rose, if you look at the different animals on the planet, who's to say that from higher dimensional points of perspective, we didn't create different genetic material, or when I say we, I'm also talking about source energy that could then have this different contrast to different animals that we could play with, some of which could eat you. I was just up there and there was like all this poop and shit, and I didn't know what kind of animals it was coming from, but it made me think like if I go too much off trail, there could be animals that want to eat me. But the perspectives I wanted to share with you is just that, there's different lessons we came here to learn. And one of the most important ones, I think, is realizing that you came here to learn the lesson of unconditional love and also the unconditional love for yourself. Now, I really wanted to also point this towards worthiness. Now, if you look around, there is purpose behind everything. The trees, the oxygen, these red rocks. This used to be water everywhere. There's everything, the birds, the bees, like all of these different animals. They all have a purpose. Everything in this reality has a purpose. And in the Dolores Cannon material, it says that there are so many souls that want to come to our reality right now because we are shifting from one level of consciousness into another one. Some people call this the third density, the fourth density, or the third dimension, the fifth dimension. But we're literally bringing more light into our bodies. We're bringing more awareness into our bodies and we're waking up. To who we are at this higher state of consciousness where we can literally have— I really believe as well, we're meant to feel love as our natural state of being. When you start to get to a level of stillness and you start to meditate and just observe your thoughts, what you begin to do is you begin to create this spaciousness with inside of you. And what happens is that spaciousness inside of you begins to release resistance. So the way that I view this and the way that I look at this is, you know, I used to, I used to smoke a lot of cannabis back in when I used to in 2012 before my awakening. And I remember I did that a lot. I also took Adderall. Some of you may know my story, but then eventually what I did is I learned meditation. I learned how to observe my thoughts. I learned that I wasn't my thoughts. And as I observed my thoughts, what happened is I started to create this spaciousness within myself. That spaciousness then had me feeling high a majority of the time. Like literally, I felt high a majority. I started to feel high and I thought this feeling is gonna go away. It never really went away. It kind of became my natural state. Of course it fluctuates. There's things that happen in life and frustration and stuff, but my natural vibrational set point raised. And then when I would go back to smoking cannabis, it would actually lower my vibe. And when I would drink, it would lower my vibe or it would, you know, I'd feel great for like, you know, a couple hours and then the next day it would lower my vibe or I would feel like I was recouping. There's these, you know, there could be plants that all have different like properties that help us to like understand different things. But for me, when I quit smoking and I realized that it's our natural state of being to feel high majority of the time, the key then is how can I create more spaciousness inside of myself? How can I create more stillness inside of myself that allow this higher vibrational energy to come through? Now everything has a purpose. These trees, the animals, The thing that I want to put your attention on is realizing that it means you have a purpose. And one of the fundamental laws of our reality, and even like Bashar talks about this, but one of the first laws is that I am, I am, which means you exist, which means you are, you exist. And if you exist, then you exist for a reason. And because you exist in and of itself means you are worthy, you have value, you have purpose. Now, if we were to say I'm not worthy, Most thought that's coming from a level of conditioning from parents, not just— not their fault. It's like unresolved trauma, unresolved emotion. But what we're saying in a way is, you know, everything else has a purpose. These trees, the cactus, the bees, everything has a purpose. Everything is worthy because it exists. But I'm the one exception. I'm the one exception. There's not a purpose for me, but realize that from an eternal point of consciousness, the one thing we come here to learn is unconditional love. So that's who you really are. And it's a significance play if we say I'm the one thing that's not worthy, you know, it's kind of a funny thing. But if you exist, you are worthy, you have a purpose. And the key is to realize what is that purpose. Now here's the beautiful thing. Meaning in our reality is up to us. I could look at a cactus and get a certain meaning. You could look at it and get a different meaning. Could be a rainy day, could snow on Tuesday. And if it snows, someone could say, that's a horrible thing that is snowing, I can't go out. Some people go out and play in the snow, build a snowman. So the thing and the perspective that I really wanted to share with you in this episode, this video, whatever, is realizing that everything has no built-in meaning other than the meaning you give it. You came here to learn the lesson of unconditional love and that the awakening that's happening on the planet right now is happening for a reason. Be bold with that. Don't be afraid of sharing your perspectives. Don't be afraid of going within. There's gonna be a lot of shadow that comes up. You look out in the government, A lot of the shadows coming up right now. The thing is, is this stuff was always there, by the way. It's just that now we're becoming aware of it. When I look at all the childhood, the childhood wounds that I've had, they were always there. It's just that now that I'm aware of it, now that I'm aware of it, I can process it, let it go, and then raise my frequency even more. So you can raise your vibration by bringing more light into your body, which means bringing more meditation and stillness into your body and observing your thoughts. Your thoughts are not who you are. This body, this ego that we have in this reality is like an avatar in our virtual reality. The problem is that then we become completely identified with the avatar. We start comparing our avatar to other people's avatar. And the main lesson we came here to learn in this virtual reality is unconditional love, not just for other people, but also unconditional love for ourselves. And what that means is going within and bringing stillness into our body. Your natural state of being is to be high. You don't need cannabis. You don't need You don't need anything. The only thing you got to do is observe your thoughts, get into your body as well. That's another thing, into the, into the avatar, I guess you could say. And that's why we have chakra points that are other symbols that represent different energy centers in the body of this avatar. But observing your thoughts, going into your body is really the key to healing. And meditation is a way of doing that. The more I've gotten into my body, the more high I felt. Since I moved to Sedona, my vibration has raised to a completely new level. And that's why in this episode, what I want to do is to share with you these perspectives on this. So this is kind of a shorter video today. Like this video if you like these kind of like insight, 5D perspective, esoteric videos. Let me know if you want me to make more like this. Other than that, I will see you guys on the next episode. As always, peace, much love, and namaste.
