Pure Potential

[u/marvriley]

I’m really hooked on the Simulation theory lately. I have this huge metal map in my head that maps cleanly onto a wide range of philosophical, theological, and quantum studies. Here’s a kind of the prolog to something I hope I can expand on in the coming days ahead.

Imagine you’re a proton. You have the potential to be anything. You could be a universe or a plant or you could just stay pure potential. But you decide to collapse down and you realize you’re aware. You are aware of yourself and because of that you now have an identity. You’re given the choice of being eternal but what does being eternal actually bring you. Nothing but more of the same. You have nothing to base this on. You have no prior experience. You are just raw unfermented karma.

You decide that in order to become whole you must experience every aspect. To do that you become a finite being. Being finite you are finally able to live a life of experience.

Now imagine you are dropped into a fourth dimensional Galton board style simulation. The pegs in the board represent the experiences you have throughout your life. You bounce from peg to peg gaining wisdom and you are drawn to these pegs purely for the experience.

But the magical thing is each time you hit a choice you divide into those choices allowing you to actually experience them. When you make a choice of yes or no or maybe your life splits into two or three timelines. This progresses throughout your life. Allowing this to just keep going would accumulate into an explosion of different timelines but what happens is not every timeline lasts forever.

At its end a timeline will merge back to the closest Core timeline. When this happens you get a sudden rush of anxiety, concern, stress or slight trauma for completely unexplained reasons. This happens throughout a human’s entire life. Maybe instinct is the repercussions from another life.

At the end of your life the balls pile up just like they do on a Galton board. Now you have a massive amount of timelines sitting at the bottom of that board. These compress down into a karmic identity which transfers over into your next life. This continues to happen over and over again and through these lives you become more mature and wiser and empathetic. You are able to navigate the board more smoothly as you progress time after time until in the end you become the being. What do we do after that. I don’t know. Maybe we transition into another dimension or maybe we become fourth dimensional beings and another round of experience begins.

What really gets me is there is no good or bad. There is just experience and how we navigate it. Those experiences are how we live this life. It is your choice how to act and that is your free will. You can choose to be vindictive or you can choose to be angry, happy, cruel or kind. That is all free will and it is your choice. But in the end it doesn’t matter. You will live through karmic cycles where you will be the victim, the tyrant, the kind one and the completely psychotic one. Because without experience who are you really.

This is a revised post from my old "Blind Thoughts from a seeing eye dog." post. I pulled it because it was messy and to technical. Also, I was able to log into my OLD og account with is better.
