What Is This World We Live In?

The more we research the nature of reality, the less we can be sure we ‘know’ anything about what ‘reality’ really is.

There are so many possibilities. Do we live on a physical spinning globe travelling through vast space where we can travel to other planets like in Star Trek or Star Wars? Or perhaps we could do if our ability to leave wasn’t limited by an electronic barrier?

Or is it a non-physical holographic world we exist within? Or maybe some sort of artificial simulacrum, a copy, of another world (as the Gnostic documents maintain)? Or perhaps we live within a video mind game or experiment?  

To take this a bit further: Is there a roof and a floor to our world? Are there levels we jump or move through in some sort of ‘contained’ world we live in? If so, who constructed it and where does our world end and the next world begin? What is beyond this world? And why would anyone construct an artificial world anyway? Who are we and why are we here? Do we go anywhere when our bodies expire or do we just become dust and bone?

The unanswered questions are endless.

I want to have a chat with the manager of this world.

Who can say what the answers might be? Certainly the official story given by Government sources around the world leaves us little the wiser.

Ancient texts and wise men tell us that the world is an illusion, yet if we collide with something we ‘feel’ pain and can ‘see’ blood and gore. Plants and other living things feel pain too we are told (see the work of a polygraph expert, Cleve Backster, who in 1987 wrote an article entitled Evidence of a Primary Perception in Plant Life which was used in Tompkins & Bird’s 1973 book The Secret Life of Plants).

The CIA have reported that we live in a holographic world and conversely NASA says we are one of trillions of physical planets existing ‘out there’. What can we believe from those people who are meant to know, the people who ‘govern’ us? Very little (of course).

One of the better sources of information however on the possible “quantum physical” nature of reality is Lynne McTaggart’s 2001 publication, The Field.

McTaggart extended the work of Michael Talbot’s ground-breaking 1991 book The Holographic Universe, introducing us to the work of the quantum physicist Hal Puthoff, who discovered a life force flowing through the universe, which he called the Zero Point Field.

Puthoff discovered that ‘space’ was in fact a heaving sea of energy, an ocean of microscopic vibrations in the space between things. One vast quantum field where everything was connected to everything like some invisible web.

Puthoff basically said that there was no such thing as “nothingness”. Space was a hive of activity, energy. At the final extremities of quantum theory, no particle ever stays completely at rest but is constantly in motion due to a ground state field of energy constantly interacting with all subatomic matter. In essence, the basic substructure of the universe is a sea of quantum fields that cannot be eliminated by any known laws of physics.

And what Puthoff and other quantum physicists surmised was that the Zero Point Field fulfilled all the criteria to benefit humanity: it was free; boundless; and didn’t pollute anything. It was a vast, unharnessed energy source.

There was something else too that they surmised: the field accounted for the stability of all matter. Pull the plug on zero-point energy, and all atomic structure would collapse.

So perhaps we can surmise that this is how the (artificial) world, the matrix, would end (if we exist within such a world).

But in the meantime, before the world ends, it would appear that the subatomic waves of the Field are constantly imprinting a record of the shape of everything, all wavelengths and all frequencies. A mirror image and record of everything that ever was; a vast memory store. It is, in effect, the beginning and end of everything.

The conductor of everything is The Field.

McTaggart explains the quantum-physical holographic nature of the world we live in, much like Talbot did a decade before her, in a very readable form.

However, although quantum physics indicates that “we are all connected”, in recent times something has gone wrong. Humans are no longer interacting with each other effectively. A separation is occurring between those going down a spiritual route and those taking a technological route.

We have no idea where we are going, but we ought to be searching for answers. Because in the end, it may matter where we are going.

Keep seeking! Time is short.
