Antonio Confirms that Life is a Simulation

He is the smartest person I know about metaphysics.
Hmm...
I stumbled across this idea of life as a simluation the other day. Brian says that is what the matrix is all about.
True.
The makers of that movie were really into philosophy.
I still like to believe in the antiquated and righteous idea that we are all spiritual beings who are here learning, evolving, and growing with the ultimate goal to become one with the light and all that is. I guess that's a hindu belief somewhat, my friend from PV Mike told me. I need to read everything Thoreau read. He quotes the Vedas in Walden. Quotes liberally.

Brian and I had a great metaphysical conversation today. We talked about Christ and buddhism and the World as a Simulation idea. We agreed that Christ was amazing--absolutely the most powerful person to ever live. Brian said he felt Christ had an amazing ability (obviously) to connect to the divine...and that we all could do that potentially. We all could be miracle workers if our energies were in line with the purpose of the divine. The problem is that none of us is really Good Enough. We're so human. To work miracles, you have to let the light come through you, celebrate it utterly, and not doubt. You have to be the divine, I think. It's no wonder that few people in our human history have done this. Christ *is* amazing. I wish I could talk with him. For an afternoon. Imagine what you might say...what you might ask...I would want to know about his life, the purpose of the universe, and how to heal our planet.

I just got this quote in my inbox. It kind of matches the energy of this post. I suppose, really, this quote is more about the plight of our planet. It's from Naropa, from that program I really want to do. I would be taking courses in deep ecology. Finally! I should have done that in the *first* place. Sometimes it takes half a lifetime to wake up to your divine purpose.

"Two things are needed to guide our judgment and sustain our energies for the challenges ahead: a certain alarm at what is happening at present and a fascination with the future available to us if only we respond creatively to the urgencies of the present."
