Synopsis: He doesn't know it, but everything in Truman Burbank's (Jim Carrey) life is part of a massive TV set. Executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates "The Truman Show," a live broadcast of Truman's every move captured by hidden cameras. Cristof tries to control Truman's mind, even removing his true love, Sylvia (Natascha McElhone), from the show and replacing her with Meryl (Laura Linney). As Truman gradually discovers the truth, however, he must decide whether to act on it. Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/truman_show

What if we are living in a theatre piece ? What if our fear blocks us ? What is the fear ? Fear of death ? Fear of the future ? Fear of missing (money, food, shelter... ) ?

I do believe that what we perceive as a fixed reality is an illusion. We are each crating our own reality with our beliefs, it is a multiverse. What we perceive as outside of ourselves, is actually just a reflection. We are all one. Just my 2 sats.

Beliefs or Fears ? Outside might be just a big Lie... (Big Pharma, Justice, State, Bank, Insurance, Education....and so on )

Best part of the Truman show is at the end, the two security guards who have invested their life into watching truman, turn the channel without a blink and watch some other shit.

Lesson there

is Truman Show not a prison? how many layers are there to a prison? in Count de Monte Cristo, an old man was digging thru stone for years, hoping to find freedom, and ended up in another cell, because he made one miscalculation.

Shakespeare said it right, “All the world’s a stage…” Yes, it is a stage you can exit if you desire to exit. You cannot fear, fear is the mind killer……
