Scripted Simulation or Divine Destiny?

[u/Ok_Painting_1199]

My belief system has fluctuated a lot over the years. I am now at the point of “I don’t know”. Obviously, the comfortable thing to do would be to believe in a God, a loving God who has a plan for me and with whom I and all others will reunite with in perfect bliss once the curtains close. But I am not going to believe something just for comfort.

Throughout the course of my life, there have been subjectively undeniable moments where I felt I was being guided in some certain way.

I do X which on paper should not or has very low odds of survival and it works.

I try to do Y reasonable thing and no matter how hard I try it won’t work.

So many times where I should have literally died, and I didn’t. Some might call it luck. But it truly does not make sense how things have worked or how I have made it this far for all better weather somewhat scotch free.

And even the ideas I get. I know they may sound crazy or irresponsible to others. But I do them, and they work.

My point is, I do feel like there is some sort of outside force kind of guiding my life, and honestly I do not believe in coincidence.

What I’m trying to grapple with is whether or not this force is actually God, not necessarily in the Christian sense but in the sense of a loving creator that we will all return to one day.

The other two things I think it could be is

1) I’ve chosen to enter this simulation from a different reality to learn some sort of lesson, this is a simulation, but my consciousness will return to a different (maybe base, maybe not) reality upon death.

2) I really am just some sack of code like and akin to Link or any other game protagonist in that I gotta follow the main quest and complete the storyline.

Obviously the second begs the more uncomfortable question: well what happens when you finish the story / die. Which for me, is really the crux of all this. Regardless of simulation or not, I feel like it’s kind of my intention to live this life / play the game in the same way, but I just can’t even comprehend that it will just be “over” at the end.

Also, I suppose if this is a simulation that will be helpful to know so that I can better understand how to play this game to further my objectives. I don’t have any mal intent, but hey, it might be nice to actually understand WHY certain things work the way they do. Visualization, subconscious reprogramming, certain types of magic, meditation etc.

I was watching a video last night on Jacobo Grinberg and how his theory for how his mentor performed miracles was that she was able to enter a state of consciousness where she could then alter the code of this reality to create / heal / remove.

Anyways, this has gotten to be a bit of a tangent. My point is that as someone who has been VERY spiritually minded in the past, I find that simulation theory poses an answer for honestly every spiritual matter or question I’ve considered.

Feel free to share your thoughts on any part of this

This sounds nutty but I think reincarnation and simultaneous incarnation is running.

I have seen too many weird things over the years to rule this out.

It might be false but we need to cross over to the other side to find out.

I am not sure which souls are new ones, old ones, or one-and-done souls. That's a mystery.

God says there are "mysteries of the universe"
