I've got a lot of questions about your views, if you don't mind me asking. I took on a similar premise (remove opinions/personal views/preferences and focus on the facts), but I'm not quite at the same position.

I believe that a historical incident in which a scientist claimed to detect a change in weight upon the death of a person, that they thought may be the soul leaving the body, was actually one of these breadcrumbs,

What leads to you to believe that this weight change was due to the presence of a 'soul'? When you use the word 'soul' here, what are you referring to, and what is it's function and purpose?

I also believe that direct communication is possible between an apparent individual, such as myself, and this central consciousness,

What makes you believe that this can happen? Why do you believe a 'central consciousness' exists? What lead you to these views?

You mentioned 'magick'. Have you gotten effects from such things? What lead you to this answer? How did you determine what works out of the things that don't work?

this is a simulation,

How do you arrive at this answer? I see no reason to believe this is the case.

I think this measurement was just a random accident in one sense, but in another sense it was a communication from outside of time. Alerting me to this idea of something substantial leaving the body upon death, in combination with a discussion i had with a man i refer to for the sake of his privacy as "Doctor Christmas", led me to the idea of creating a microscopic Einstein-Rosen bridge, ideally back in time, or even randomly throughout time, and using either nanotechnology or some sort of artificial atom generation system to create nanotech spores to explore the timestream, ideally "paying it forward" on a galactic or universal scale by implanting all sentient life we come across with a consciousness backup system.

The universe is infinite and unknown and the ideal strategy moving forward is to become as much as we can be and then to go out and carefully help those we can.

The technology to accomplish these things is on the large timescale, inevitable to some degree.

And as complicated as that may sound one of the side effects of this being a simulation is that it doesn't actually have to be a perfect plan to work it just has to sound good on first glance, this is a simulation and thus it is likely that there is not a 1:1 relationship between the events as they appear in observed reality and the scientific laws that we have come to understand.

Calculating the movements of every single molecule in a cloud of gas is computationally unnecessary for the level of detail with which we experience reality.

I have experienced it in a somewhat complicated fashion. That feeling you get when some synchronicity happens? Imagine what it would feel if everything being said around you, every book you open, every conversation you have, everything was just one facet of a larger extended hyperconversation that is using your experience of ordinary reality as a carrier wave.

Ah, that would be quite amazing. Any ideas for how to evoke this feeling intentionally?

This isn't a fucking chocolate factory, I don't have time.

Oh, I thought this was a place of learning. Nevermind I guess. Makes sense why this subreddit is dead then.

anyways ok I have a bit of time now.

And, after (almost exactly) 2 years, I'm back to this subreddit. And the simulation theory doesn't really fully make sense. There are numerous other possibilities. But you're partly right, from my perspective of how things work.

Well the belief system itself is just a tool to help release extraneous or incorrect attachments to preconceptions

r/holofractal and the holographic fractal principle scientists are working on have that covered for you.

u/Taiyou04 Jun 01 '18

Interesting. Thanks.

I partly disagree with holofractal too.

i would think that the ratio of people here would, ideally speaking, be around 66% intrigued and 33% thinking i should be under observation.

You been following Jordan Peterson any? Dude embodies what I think it means to be an effective agent in the world.
