So, while watching a Youtube video...he was talking about realities, and simulations and what not.
Could we in fact be living in a virtual reality? Maybe even something like in the Matrix? Is this world actually real? If not....are you all a part of a program? Are my parents even real? Or maybe this is all a dream...and in fact, I'm in a coma that looks real. If a program, maybe I'm hooked up to some machine and put in a virtual reality so I don't see the "truth" of whatever that might be. And then that brings us back, is everyone around me (online and real life) part of a program to make me think everyone is real?
I had a very strange experience when I was really young (must have been 5 or 6...I'm 21 now)...costco had just recently opened in california and I never had been in one. About 10 seconds after walking inside Costco (I was with my Papa at the time), everything completely stopped..."time" itself stopped...even myself was completely frozen. There was no sound, movement or anything...but...I could still see everything in front of me, but my eyes wouldn't move. I remember a guy walking out of the bathroom area holding a newspaper as he walked out...he too had stopped. This lasted 5 or 6 seconds.
Now here is the strange part...when "time" continued...NOTHING jumped in place...the guy walking out of the bathroom kept walking as normal. But it wasn't like him jumping out of the location, he just continued moving smoothly...JUST like in the Matrix when they freeze time, and then it continues as normal..had a hard time explaining that one.
Was that a "glitch" in the program? Something else entirely? Guess we or I may never know. I did ask my Papa many years later, and he said that never happened to him. He said it was strange, but he had no memory of it.
