finished the movie The Thirteenth Floor, amazing - do you think our consciousness just moved around like that in different simulations? 👀
In the movie, there is simulation within the simulation; it almost sounds like this fiat slavery world in our society. You have people who get up every day just to chase those unlimited supplies of money so to buy whatever is being sold, scary, and this world is exactly created by the greeds.
Then I also did some quick research about consciousness, and it turned out there are quite some ppl do remember their past lives, intrigued:
  • what if all these living & dying are meant to be experienced under different simulations?
  • what if we already lived many lives, and all the knowledge that we needed is within us and waiting to be unlocked?
  • what if the real secret is within us?
Deep questions I like it! Yeah I think we live many lives.
And just to be really wacky have you ever had a dream where you were someone else living a different life and it was very real and vivid. And then you wake to this reality and the memory starts to fade….

I can't remember most dreams when I wake up 👀, and I also remembered that there are times that I don't want to wake up from the dreams.

good question

so chasing outside distractions is silly, the better Q is how to unlock it then

I understand that these topics are thought-provoking. However, I personally don't subscribe to any of these beliefs. We are born, we live, and then we die. That's all there is to it.

I don't know any better about these topics, but if you pay attention, there are indeed many unseen forces around, e.g., ppl who you randomly met might guide you to a better direction in life, is it really random?
and I feel SN is the place to discuss these seemingly "useless & silly" ideas in the fiat standard.

I believe in the power of persuasion and coincidence. Sometimes, our eagerness to find explanations for everything leads us to make connections that don't actually exist. It's just our brain trying to make sense of things. This is just my opinion, of course, not necessarily the truth.

These questions will remain forever without answers. The answers to these questions will be subjective and therefore questionable.

maybe the truth is lying in a few hands? and too hard to be heard in an ocean of noise
reply
I think the truth is lying in the personal experience of everyone. Therefore it's subjective.
