Point of golden age is that souls who make it there get out and beyond and don't all necessarily fall back into darkness, then back into golden age, then into darkness, in some endless pointless cycle. New souls seem to come in to replace the graduates. Like asking what's the point of graduating high school if freshmen enter high school the same year and do it all over. Because it's not the same students. Notice how past life regressions go as far back as Atlantis, maybe Lemuria, but what about the prior millions of years...

Why did monks get killed in Tibet? Because collective/aggregate (statistical averaging) beats synchronicity, and there's also a point when synchronicity becomes physical causality (combat arena). Like home invasion... good vibes can cut down on chances of it happening, but if you leave front door open in a bad neighborhood then physically/causally you're making it possible and likely, and once the thug enters the doorway you've entered into combat where luck/vibes/synchronicity are mostly out of the picture and it's pure physical force on force. Yes, thug's gun could mysteriously jam and save your life, but if you had 1000 thugs attacking 1000 home owners would all their guns jam? No, which is the collective/aggregate effect in action. Here you have collective China invading collective Tibet, no luck about it, mostly determinism.

If world is a crap fest from day one, then it shouldn't be possible to build a really awesome life here, nor have a curriculum to it, nor change your vibe and attract good luck.

True that we are holographic fragment here, and it's important to become whole with the rest of us, or at least work with the rest by nurturing its manifestation inside and around us (intuition, heart, wisdom, synchronistic flow).

Yes angels might help us one week, but didn't help previous week, because of rules/laws which he doesn't understand. Doesn't mean angel is the farmer.  If it were farmer, it wouldn't be doing anything to make the sheep more free, more resistant to manipulation, more healed and capable and aware or a better person. In fact, whatever it's farming for, it would encourage in the sheep. Which is what negs and impostors do, with well-known modus operandi. We DO have known parasites (demons, astral negs) that have known manipulation profiles, goals, agendas, energy harvesting, etc. and these differ greatly from what angels / positive beings do. The negs also come as impostors sometimes, and the fact that they are still distinguishable from the genuine, means the genuine exists.

Yes we are indeed told why prayer works sometimes and not other times, and it's complicated, but it can be figured out.

No, god can't come down and instantly end all suffering. Some things are a necessary side effect or precondition of other more important parts of the simulation that can't be given up, like freewill.

No, the higher doesn't simply help us only when we're most pessimistic about reality and about to reject reality. We also get helped and 'rewarded' for being free, in touch with our soul, heart, compassion for suffering of others, helping others, freeing others from ignorance, deception, and control. Why, if suffering and control is sole goal of this matrix?

He's conflating prayer with demonic contracts, which are based on other motives and choices. There's NDE and occult data indicating it's known how demons operate. There's no indication that praying to God creates a contract where higher entities eat you after death. That only happens with demons, and you know when you're doing it because you're acting from demonic motives yourself. It's more like "I hereby enter into a contract where I express the godspark within to help the godspark within others, and higher more powerful godsparks will help me as long as I continue honoring the godspark within self and others. After death, in having nurtured my godspark, I will be less prone to dissolution and confusion by virtue of my increased sentience, and will be supported there by kindred consciousnesses who helped me in life. Thus instead of being eaten after death, I shall experience greater life."

He says you can be sequestered away in your paradise but you then go out into the real world and see how bad it is, and this proves this world is a demonic soul trap. False logic, as you you can do the opposite: say world is hell for you because you lived your life in the slums, but then you go visit a paradise island and see just how great it can be, thus "proving" this world is a great place you're missing out on. Truth is, it's both and you're largely responsible for where you are in that spectrum, though shit happens too, per freewill, but that's what karma positive and negative is for, to balance out errors made earlier in linear time.

Physics, matter itself, is conducive to and supportive of suffering, which is an animal/jungle condition. It's a consequences of that, like weights in a gym defaulting to dropping down to lowest point due to gravity. It's the overcoming of that, the triumph of spirit exerting control over physicality, that is the goal, because we have done that already with our brains whereby spirit controls matter (neurons) with great finesse, just we need to do it to world at large. So because this world is more than just matter (there's also consciousness, synchronicity, love, grace, etc.), this world is not just a jungle. It's half jungle/farm, half school/gym/playground. That's the only way to reconcile all known observations.

Obviously we're within a restricted version of an otherwise freer thought-construct existence. Something held more in place by thought, or by technology versus the normal condition. And yet, through consciousness we can warp reality, manifest things, even create good lives for ourselves. What a crappy prison this must be, that allows us to make it better.

Correct that our realm is product of demiurge, and the infinite is (in itself) indifferent to what goes on here, as all is zero relative to (divided by) infinity. But there are sub-infinite beings that do care and have positive motives, chaperoning the precious cargo within us which is spirit.

Not true that "there's no point to an infinite mind doing all this to understand itself." It does make sense, and imagination is how you'd do it because all is thought anyway so there's nothing apart from imagination. More of a dream than mere human imagination, though. Consider how your own mind can create a "physical world" within your own head when you dream, to convey important symbolic messages about your soul progress. But reality can't possibly be that? Of course it can, just in a bigger way.

Yes, we could be a study in a simulation of how to solve a problem in the real world outside this, but we have far too many occult interferences and problems here, and too much intervention as well, for that to be purely the case. Which you wouldn't want to do if you're just looking at a simulation. You shouldn't contaminate the experiment. You let it run without interference. If you're interfering to change the variable, you'd do it one variable at a time not countless millions every day considering how much manipulation/intervention happens everyday on Earth.

You can't replicate thousands of sims because you can't replicate consciousness infinitely, as we're more real than the simulation and thus finite in quantity.

Also you wouldn't need to "run a simulation to see what would happen" in real time, because you could just quickly calculate all of them in a split second... you wouldn't need to run them in real time just to find out, unless you were jacked into the sim to experience it for yourself. What you can't do is take something finite like consciousness (whose time progression is demarcated in freewill choices) and make it experience all of its progression at once. It takes time to weigh choices and make them, hence this sim is about choice and experience.

Yes you get memory wiped before being born, but the core of you is changed by previous life and afterlife, therefore you come back different, not tabula rasa. This is also a "variable change" if you think about it, one you are responsible for yourself.

Can simulation be turned off? Only by that which sustains and creates it. Good luck with that. You'd be screwing with the freewill and continuity of billions of people here and elsewhere. You can disrupt it locally per spontaneous invisibility and what ETs do though when they put a time lock dome over an abductee's house, but turning reality off for everyone would require some heavy lifting. Possible the Ark/Grail did that, yes, as it's demiurgic technology but still...

Possible that humans ended the simulation somehow and left, and demiurge had to create a new one, but then there shouldn't be traces of the prior reality at all, thus should be no relics or ruins, of which there are plenty still. There's continuity in history, so no reset is indicated. All cited world resets (fall of Atlantis, for example) happened through plausible mechanisms like pole shift and magnetic excursions and novae.

Besides, our own bodies and brains are part of this simulation, so if you turn it off then you're in whatever that other reality, without your body or brain. You'd be in an astral state. If so, then you can just commit mass suicide to enter the astral that way, no need to turn off the simulation. But if the astral is part of the simulation, how could physical technology (pyramids as hypothesized here) turn off the astral afterlife realm that is independent of physicality and possibly even generative of it? Either way, this hypothesis doesn't fit.

We shouldn't have this much power (to violate the default rules of this existence) if we are solely products of the simulation. The fact that we have it, shows we derive it from aspects that are outside the simulation. That again means we are "real" and thus can't be infinitely copied and pasted. So the number of simulations is singular, or small. There is conscious inertia, and hence a type of time that is real and finite and quantifiable and therefore novel, made of nondeterministic tick-tocks, not simply instantly calculable or simulable.

True about Satan tricking heavenly souls to come into his creation, to serve as energy sources for it, since it's cut off from the Source. That's a Manichaean view.

Correct that demiurge can't create but it can copy, although it can certainly take existing thought constructs and tweak or hold variables in place so that we get a realm of persistence and limitation versus the more free 4D type consciously-responsive environment it may have been molded from.

There's novelty and usefulness in this level of restriction we face (besides the freewill-violating oppression). The fact that we have enough freewill and help and curriculum to make something out of this supposed "mess," shows that it's more like a gym weight that is set to the right weight level than insurmountable iron chains binding us to dungeon walls. People don't realize how much worse off they'd be (likely dead or maimed) if interventions didn't happen so often. This supports the idea that this is purposeful resistance, not enslavement, though we can certainly become enslaved via accumulation of poor choices. Freewill is the top thing, the only truly unpredictable thing, by definition.

If the infinite creator is indifferent, not a big deal, as its potential & nature then ripples across scales of creation same way the golden ratio exists across all scales: fractally. This means just as you and I have a spirit/heart that cares for, say, animals, there are beings higher than us who care for us, and since our finite minds can only conceive of a finite personal god (personal = finite, by definition) then it's very easy for there to be an actual caring personal "god" up there somewhere who is not the infinite creator per se but just one of the highest "goodest" beings that has any level of personal investment in our affairs. Mostly angels, higher self, and automated divine thoughtforms like the Holy Spirit.

He says we need to be our own savior, sort of contradicting what he said earlier about us here only being a tiny fragment of the totality of our being. What he really means, or should mean, is that the rest of our being is our savior, not necessarily "us" in the human sense that you can point a finger at.

But of course we the lower self needs to connect with the rest of our being, or at least express it here. Then again, the rest of our being, if it is individualized and our own, then if it is good that means everyone else has their own higher individualized good being too, which shows that there are higher good beings outside just yourself, hence it's possible even likely that there are other higher positive beings acting independently of humanity that nevertheless can help us here. Which shows that no, we ourselves aren't the only ones we can count on, as there are then higher other positive beings too.

He's correct that there's a higher positive force outside this that is pushing its way in here (PKD's VALIS / Zebra, Christian's Holy Spirit) and that we have to extend our finger so to speak and touch its finger to make the connection. That's evident from everything mythological, historical, and anecdotal.

Correct that the guilt, shame, remorse we bring with us after death will greatly affect what happens afterward (and also shapes our reincarnation, I would add, similar to going to sleep with a troubling issue on your mind impacts your dreams). Problem is that after death you awaken into a more sentient state that is more perceptive of moral/ethical errors and you will feel regret due to that understanding that you might numb or deny yourself right now due to your hardened ego.  So you better just live life with minimal regret and remorse by not making so many moral errors. Moral as in conscience, not per religious programming, although the latter can hit so deep into the subconscious that it still affects you in the afterlife (like an octopus hugging your face even after you're out of the water). So live a good life and be good, period.

Ok he says it, that after death or in a mystical experience the denied moral errors come to light and we have to then confront what was ignored. Yes, except for NPCs or those on the deep dark left hand path who have severed themselves from their higher selves... they bypass that part of the death process and exist as exiles taking refuge here in the "simulation," like in Matrix Reloaded where Persephone introduces her motley accomplices who are that.

He admits that after death we will likely see beings who will make us review our life and, based on our errors, convince us to go back. Well, here's the thing, they don't need to convince us, as we already know it deep in our hearts whether we screwed up. And them showing it to us, well we should be remembering it on our own already. Those screw ups were on us. Or do we just forget about that and get out of here without ever thinking about our defects, errors, and violations of others? That would be a psychopathic thing to do. If anything, clearly seeing the full impact of our past actions shows that the purpose of this sim includes compassion, self-mastery, wisdom, discernment, foresight, and love. Wow, what a horrible simulation it must be to encourage those values...

Naive to suggest that once we're in the astral, we should stay there (as a first step) and never come back here. That's your choice, of course, but you're going to know things there that you don't know/remember here due to amnesia. There could be many reasons to come back, which he doesn't understand or acknowledge. Mainly, it's not about intellectual lessons solely, as you can read those in a book or watch other people's lives vicariously. Why would anyone do a sport instead of simply watching it on a screen? Answer that and you'll know why people come here. It's about growth, freewill, novelty, and self-tests. You can't know how you will do until you do it, and even if you knew, you wouldn't know what it's like. If you just wanted to know outcomes and derive lessons, you could do that by running and watching sims from the outside without ever jacking yourself in as a player. This shows that there's more to this experience than just intellectual knowledge of outcomes and lessons. There's the impact of cognized experience on one's permanent inner core.

Agree that OBE is good practice for being conscious without a body (like after death). I would add that lucid dreaming is likewise, and safer, as after death you wind up in the astral eventually which is like dreaming. Just as you can be in a dream mindlessly and get lost in nonsense narratives, same for a while after death, so lucidity is good to practice. It's not an intellectual skill but a strength of sentience that can and must be built up like a muscle. Also depends on energy resources, so the more in shambles your subconscious/psyche is with energy parasites attached and runaway processes taking up CPU/RAM in your psyche, the less energy you'll have after death. It's also a matter of integrity-of-consciousness, like how well a snowball is compacted to make an ice core that doesn't crumble. That only develops through experience and right choices and cognition (introspective sentient processing) of experience, which again is a motivation for coming here into this resistance-laden existence (i.e. beyond just lessons).

Freedom is good, and you should choose what you want to choose after death, but keep in mind that if you're choosing from a position of naiveté and willful ignorance, blinded by your subconscious shadow energies that persist after death, then your skepticism and refusal to take the advice/guidance of potentially positive beings means you risk just as much by being left to your own devices. Then you become the one who leads yourself astray.

People who say we don't learn a damn thing from incarnation are pretty blind to their own lives and the lives of others. But like I said, it's more than just learning, it's about growth and experience, via limitations that are not possible in a less resistant realm like the astral. These people sometimes come across as hurt pouty babies throwing a tantrum. Understandable considering the tough lives people have, but tantrums are still irrational expressions of frustrations that cloud judgment. The hypocrisy is in making firm conclusions framed as logical, based on such irrational impulses. With enough neutral research you will see that there is a higher order to this experience, not just chaos/hell.

Disagree about our soul being spread across thousands of simulations. Would be possible if we were entirely simulations, but not possible if we come from outside the simulation. Think about it, you can have 1000 video games loaded up on virtual machines, but since you're not part of that, you can only play one of those at a time. Because you are from outside of it. Also, if we occupied every possibility, freewill would be meaningless since any choice you don't make, you do make, so it doesn't matter what choice you make as one way or another you'd make it anyway. Choice, freewill, becomes meaningless. Besides, you can sim 1000 versions of self without experiencing it, to see what the outcome will be. Again, this means the value here is being a finite consciousness making meaningful and thus finite in number choices. We occupy fewer timelines, not more timelines.

If we do lead many numerous parallel lives, then their afterlife state must also be running in separate simulations or timelines. That's because there are karmic entanglements between people that only happen due to unique choices made, and those choices and outcomes are discussed among them in the afterlife, which only retains internal consistency if all that happens within one timeline for those people and their interacting narratives. OR, there aren't numerous parallel lives and this is it. That's more likely.

Vertical Plane book, need to read it. Possibility not considered is that it's like the Philip Experiment and the author was interacting with an entity/thoughtform which, due to the entity and his beliefs in this, warped local reality to reflect that made up narrative. Happens all the time with TIs.

Of course you can prove Flat Earth is B.S.  Shouldn't use your own uncertainty (lack of conclusive follow through) as proof that this is an indeterminate ambiguous anything-goes reality. I've looked into so much Flat Earth proof, and found the core flaws in every one of them. Yes, there are anomalies in reality and glitches and we need to look at those. Flat Earth is disinfo distraction from the fact that reality is somewhat of a hyperdimensional ant farm, or that it's a partial crystallization of a greater thought-construct and sometimes the more pliable parts intrude into the crystallized parts and show the laws of physics are just suggestions.
