What is real? How do we define real? Is this the real life or is this just fantasy? Thought experiments, debates, and investigations into the nature of reality and whether or not we’re in a simulation have been ongoing for centuries. The further down the technological road we go, the increasingly relevant this discussion becomes. As we bear witness to computer generated worlds indistinguishable from (what we perceive as) reality, the question of illusion vs truth becomes more pressing. What if this is all just a simulation, but not a technological one? What if we aren’t being enslaved by AI overlords but are in fact benefitting from the simulation in order to achieve a higher goal?
In this episode Jost and Leon get real with a lively discussion on simulations, projections, the ‘afterlife’, and how we can stay connected to reality. Leon gets started (predictably) with pyramids and UFOs, and can’t resist referencing his all-time favourite movie The Matrix (which he may or may not have seen over 40 times). He also wonders if we should look at destiny as a rail or a road, and has a mid-podcast realisation that if you’re busy finding and following your purpose, then you’re less likely to stress about the nature of reality and will instead get busy creating it. Jost talks about the Taoist perspective on simulation and the way laughter, love, and experiences of the heart are ways to access base reality and instantly become real. He also talks about the concept of the higher self, the ‘life between lives’ as described by Michael Newton, what theorists, academics and scientists are missing when it comes to understanding the nature of reality, and how the feeling that there is something missing in ourselves is a result of how much soul energy we bring with us from the other side.
Jost and Leon also get into the danger of creating simulations within simulations, how negative forces are attempting to centralise their version of reality, and how decentralisation is the way forward in more ways than one. They also talk about mesh networks, quantum healing, the evolutionary leaps of Tai Chi, bar fights, how to properly experience socks, and how to fill voids in the soul.
That being said, no one can be told what this episode is… you have to listen to it yourself.
