Are We Living in a Simulation? Here’s Why It Might Be True — And How to Navigate It

Think about how fast technology has advanced—just a few decades ago, we didn’t have smartphones, and now we have virtual reality, AI, and robots. Imagine what technology will be like in 100 years, or 1,000 years. With how advanced things have become, there’s a real possibility we’re living in some kind of simulation—a super-advanced virtual reality.

Here’s something even crazier: everything around us, including what feels solid, like tables and chairs, is actually made up of atoms. But atoms aren’t solid at all. They’re mostly empty space, just energy moving incredibly fast. So, while everything seems real and solid, it’s more like part of a simulated reality—a game where our minds and consciousness are the players.

If this is true, then this simulation wasn’t created randomly. It was designed by a higher power—an advanced intelligence, like the game’s ultimate designer. This higher power also represents a future, more advanced version of ourselves. The game’s goal? To help us learn, grow, and ultimately win. But to succeed, we need to tap into divine guidance. Like in a video game where you get hints and cheat codes, this higher power gives us signs and help along the way. Ignoring the guidance makes the game harder, and we get stuck. But when we ask for help and pay attention, we can level up more easily.

In Kabbalah, the Zohar explains something similar. It teaches that the physical world is a reflection of deeper, spiritual realities. In Zohar, Volume 1, 15a, it says: “Everything that exists in the world…is a reflection of what exists in the spiritual realms.” This means our world is a projection of higher truths, suggesting that the simulation we live in is part of a grand design meant to guide us toward deeper understanding and success.

A Practical Step for Daily Life

To “win” this simulation, the key is to recognize you’re part of something bigger. One simple thing you can do every day is to pause, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: “What is the simulation (or universe) trying to show me right now?” This helps you notice the hints and clues the higher power (the game designer) is giving you to navigate through life.

When you interact with others, treat them as fellow players in the game. Every event, challenge, or person is placed in your life to help you learn and grow. If you’re open to the guidance and ask for help from this divine higher power, the game becomes easier, and you can level up faster.

Why Some Might Stay in Lower Realms

It’s frustrating to see people who don’t want to learn the deeper truths or seek guidance. They’re content with staying in the lower realms of understanding, missing out on the potential growth and advancement that come from engaging with the divine guidance available to them. It’s like watching someone play a game on easy mode, refusing to use the hints or cheat codes that could help them excel. They’re stuck in a cycle of limited experiences and challenges, unable to progress to higher levels where they could find greater fulfillment and insight.

In the end, the game is set up to help us evolve. Those who choose to stay in the lower realms are missing out on the opportunity to level up and experience the richer, more rewarding aspects of the simulation. The ultimate goal is to win the game by following the guidance and moving to higher levels, where deeper truths and greater achievements await.

The Hidden Abuse No One Talks About

I don’t have any bruises or scars, so you’d never know. What actually constitutes emotional or financial abuse can be so subtle. For nearly three decades, I’ve lived in a nearly constant state of confusion, moving between being triggered by emotional abandonment and wondering if I was the one who was crazy. Maybe at times…
