# Simulation

If sleeping is a save point — the point of renormalization and absolution — if any version of myself had chosen to resume my life from this day, then there is a good chance it is to correct some "mistake" and try for better outcomes. If that is so, then it means all prior experience have been deemed acceptable for integration into my total self. That means I'm not going back and fixing things that I might "regret."

That means I have the freedom to move forward, unchained from the mistakes of the past, because it is likely that only good outcomes await.

You now have strength of conviction. Move forward without regrets.

Our earth life is like a "main story" quest in the unfolding drama of the universe. Everyone has to play this level at least once to advance to the next part, open up the map and get new side quests.

That's why it is so dramatic. That's why why we don't remember our immortality. Our lives are an unskippable cutscene.

To live within the great mystery is to exist in the highest resolution simulation imaginable. It fools all the senses. It is the sensed and the sensation. For the simulation to be perfect, you must not be able to interrogate it to the point of realization of the mystery.

You must be stopped, at all costs, even by the hand of God, to prevent you from disrupting the simulation.

The very mind, the very physical material of the mind, must not be able to be interrogated completely. The runtime must exceed the physical limitations of the simulation.

But to make a good mystery, there needs to be rational instructions to follow to achieve the goal of knowing the mind of the puzzle creator.

If you can't figure out the puzzle, even with all the time in the universe to solve it, then the puzzle is no good. The rules need to be discoverable and fair.

You can trust that there's a way to solve it, you just haven't found the right approach yet.

Surely the creator left clues. Surely there are breadcrumbs. Surely the creator didn't forget to include a starting point to even guess at the ultimate goals.

And so you go looking for Easter eggs. Hints that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. A way out. Or at least to confirm the game exists.

So you look High and low Far and wide.

You employ art, philosophy and science.

You realize that the only way to know the mind of the creator is to create your own simulation.
