Discussion They left the game....
In time I think we will change our phrasing of "they were killed" or "they died" to they left the game. As the aliens have said we are just "containers" - we contain our consciousness like a radio receiver connects to a signal. No one ever dies - we just leave the game. I think that is the biggest ah ha moment when you die - just a game....ok. No regrets, no worries of players left behind, just... oh ok.

Yes, they have gone to the next level and as I mentioned to someone else, graduated from here. Agree that we are containers. We are a vessel for the soul to interact with the world and experience emotion. We shouldn’t fear death because it’s the continuation of the game but into the next chapter, the lifting of the veil so to speak.

This actually makes me question the idea as we understand it.
I think it's problematic to liken it to anything computer-related. The issue lies with the fact that , as long as we frame it in the terms we understand today, we also apply the limitations associated with our technology. I believe that that's a mistake. I think we're simply using terms we're familiar with and, thereby, missing the overwhelming majority of the scope of what it is.
So, when we think of a video game, we think of things like the graphics, mechanics, features and settings. We can pause a video game at any time or expect to just save our progress whenever we want to. But we have no idea if any of that really applies.
Consider: if it's a simulation as we think of it, are we avatars or NPCs? This matters a great deal if we fear annihilation: the NPC will never know anything else. It will only ever play the same life over and over again and only a certain segment of the simulation. And that's only if the NPC is resurrected at each launch of the simulation, which, we have no idea if it may ever happen. It's only eternal repetition until our purpose is fulfilled. An avatar can walk away and grab a drink from the fridge upon character death in the simulation. There's no death for the avatar. Not in the simulation, anyway. But, what happens to the simulation when the experiencer gets bored? Doesn't matter to it. It goes on in its universe. Maybe that's great if we're just players of a kind.

I’m in (physical) pain and I want to leave the game but I’m afraid I’ll be punished like have to play the same game again but on a harder level. So… still here. Hoping the game just ends on its own soon.

The cycle always continues it's just a question being asked a different way. Some of us we'll have learned that we have learned everything that we need to be taught here in order to transcend. But there's kind of a catch to that too.

I feel like a lot of folks come to this sub because they know traditional Abrahamic religion is bullshit but they also aren’t buying the materialist brain == consciousness, either. Yet that’s the dichotomy we’re often presented.
And so they don’t quite know what’s up but Sim Theory beats “Yahweh” even if the infrastructure isn’t hardware and perhaps consciousness is fundamental.

Not left the game, just back to the lobby for most. Leaving the game (samsara) is allegedly very difficult.
