This reminds me of what Neville Goddard always talks about. Like outside of this reality, we still exist but don't know about it. According to Neville when he gets out of this reality, he meets people he knew in this reality that were dead but they don't know they were dead and thinks he was crazy. We might actually be in a dream. Outside of this space and time, there just might be a parallel reality existing simultaneously. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced. What I am trying to say is: Outside of the headset, we still exist but in a different reality....and it goes on and on to infinity. Think about it🧠

You’ll never forget it all out. There is infinite knowledge and wisdom. You will never completely understand the reason fully, but you can understand individual components. Being conscious is an experience to learn lessons and achieve higher levels of consciousness to keep ascending to higher dimensions and forms of consciousness. This is never ending. Stop fearing death because birth never ends.

Hi Tom, I am a big fan of your work. I wanted to give my feedback and I hope it is received. As far as what can be known is all contained within ourselves (awareness). Practice this, sit in stillness / silence allowing whatever thoughts appear to appear and don’t identify with them. They will pass through awareness, awareness won’t pass. Abide in absolute presence and not in thoughts, reclaim consciousness from the ego mind and be still within awareness as the awareness. Know your true self and all will be known. This is something you can experience directly by simply doing this practice and you will understand what I mean.

I know you're not being critical and just giving some feedback, but Tom almost **never** interrupts. He is one of the best interviewers out there when it comes to not interrupting. Tom will let guests speak for very long periods of time to let their thoughts fully flow and come to full fruition (so to speak) to allow them to express their full thoughts on any given subject and without interruption. I'm guessing if Tom's interrupting a lot in this video, Tom's super pumped about this subject so this video mustl be worth while watching.

[@katbarron]

“There’s billions of humans and there are billions of ways in which we explore.” I couldn’t help but correlate this part of the interview with the book I’m reading. I’ll preface this next part by sharing that I am not religious but I do consider myself spiritual. This is not a religious book I’m about to quote, but rather one that can take on various ideologies. In the book “Conversations With God” by Neale Donald Walsch, it says, “It is your soul’s only desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience. Knowing something, and experiencing it, are two different things. Spirit longed to know itself experientially.” So again - I am not religious but rather curious. It seems as though we are here to create and experience. I guess the biggest question is why.

Because God serves us when we are star seeds. When we are "soul serching" in the astrological world. But when we become planted in a conscious world we become born into physical matter. "Our bodies" we then are here to serve God and his purpose for creating our star seed or our soul. Maybe it's to perfect the souls that never die. When God sees his souls who have perfected themselves maybe that's when we go to Heaven! What's the purpose of existing in heaven if that's all are souls are doing?

Interesting... I'm just starting on this but I can say that Buddhism has addressed this completely. Buddhist philosophy already describes our world as illusory and states exactly how manifestation occurs. They also understand how we ended up in this video game and how we can get out of it. Beyond that, dedication too much time to trying to understand what's outside it tends to drive people insane. We should concentrate more on understanding cause and effect in this reality, compassion, and becoming a Buddha ourselves. As far as being "stuck" in the headset... You are here because you don't have the metal fortitude and stability to be without it. This is likely why those who contemplate what's outside it go crazy. You don't have the facilities yet to understand it. I see the headset as more of a crib and our bodies as an anchor for our undeveloped and unstable consciousness. We are like babies in terms of our overall development and we can't even understand what it's gong to be like to "grow up".

It's awesome to see you so pumped Tom!! And I completely agree this is groundbreaking literal reimagination of how we can interact with our world!! So I have some thoughts about becoming the coder, and I'm not certain they can be observed. My only interaction with the mainframe has come from within. There are some brilliant people using brainwave readings while people are in these hyper gamma states of introspection to begin mapping the landscape, but I wonder if it is like a radio telescope observing a quasar, you know? I stick with what I know, I know that my conscious mind is a spotlight, and my subconscious mind, which is 95% of what I think and feel is a flood light, if if I use turn my spotlight on to my floodlight and examine why I feel, why I do what I do and rewrite that. That within my virtual reality self, rewriting my experience. Option number two, again strictly my intuition, we exit the game having completed all levels achievements and merits and we can go to the mainframe with the idea in our mind that we won! We won the game and we wish to transcend that experience and become a coder. Now I'm still working on how I can merge those two states of awareness so that I can have both right here, but I have not figured this out yet. Just the other day I'd had an intuition that our ultimate goal as human beings is to be the coder, to literally make our thoughts real instantly! Right here right now, and that's what I believe.. (Btw I'm sure you rewatched this and were cognizant in hindsight, but you skewed into a 3 minute rant in the beginning of the interview! Lol.

Finally science is catching up!! the ancient spiritual texts have informed us and point to the body as a vehicle for us (ergo we are not our bodies). The extension of the headset if you will. We are Spirit beings having a “human experience” (grand theft auto). Makes absolute total sense and I’m absolutely LOVING the way this will change things…the implications have always been incredible however, when spiritually & Science were split up (as well as cosmology & astrology) we lost the information that we are approaching to revealing in the progression of this study. Amazing times! Thank you for a great interview ✌️

[@MrEmotional33]

There are sooo many questions which directly arise from this conversation and which were not (yet) answered so far..for instance, how to directly interfere (or get to the boundaries of) with the interface by higher means of consciousness, or what really could happen when our physical representation stops working inside the interface (on the level of experience)..or how can it be described what famous Yogis (like Paramahansa Yogananda) share in their books and reports (all those passed on superhuman powers), how do those entities manage to literally break the laws of nature inside the headset with their conscious agent, and so on..

[@AspergersversusNeurotypicals]

in context of around 30-36 minutes in to video: Godel's theorem is an inevitable conclusion of anyone who looks at informational space. I am sure that when ancient teachings say 'God wanted to know itself' and so manifested as infinite consciousness and infinite consciousnesses (infinite potentialities)", they were saying Godel's theorem in a sense, though personifying it with a God who wants to know himherself, -- -- -- And of course we know that, surrounding [that God I just mentioned], surrounding that God is an infinity of nested Gods (creators, observers, consciousnesses). The nesting of course goes within (to smaller and smaller fractally nested flows of the Aether) as well as to larger and larger aetheric flows. Dr. Blaney Physics (youtube channel) adds that the expansion of Aether must balance the contraction, and this is the fundamental cause of the countercurrent acceleration of the aether. ... KEY POINT IS that this Aether IS consciousness. It isn't separate from it, but IS it. Aether accelerating IS consciousnss, and Consciousness IS aether accelerating. In others' language they would say consciousness is flowing spacetime and vice versa but I do not like that misleading language, since spacetime is actually accelerating fluid called aether. . but I digress. comments/discussion welcome.

A) the reality before our eyes is not a "lie", no more than the movie we watch is a lie. When we play a video game, we don't say this is a lie... we watch the movie (knowing full well its acting, script, special effects) for the experience. We play the video game (knowing full well that it's a virtual reality) for the experience. B) I would propose one of the "reasons" our consciousness creates this reality is for the experience (as Hoffman pointed out). But It's feasible that emerging entities haven't learned or experienced anything and are like the newborn baby. Although fully conscious and aware, there are no memories or references, no uniqueness. The entity's consciousness entangles with the human avatar to develop uniqueness and imprints for identity. Of course, it's speculatory but I feel it's feasible. And I also have a feeling that the earth experience isn't the only program in town.. or that it's necessarily a one-time-only ride. Hoffman is dead on though, what we know now as it relates to science, is structured to a limited materialistic viewpoint that doesn't care about exploring the maximum possibilities but only explores that which fits into the existing paradigm. Anything beyond that isn't profitable.

[@mikebucur8461]

Tom seems very utilitarian sometimes. Why should the truth of something be of any benefit?? It's better to seek truth just for truth's sake even if it has no benefit for our small petty egos. If we care about something only because it will give us something then we don't really care for truth.

Great upload, thank you so much for this one. I'm so in love with the quantum field. It was placed in space-time here. My consciousness got quite a bit of separation anxiety there, not knowing at present what it would communicate with without it :) Of course that's sussed somewhere, or doesn't consciousness communicate outside space-time? Perhaps it just is, and doesn't need to bounce off something. Okay, now the many questions in my little brain start clocking in, one after the other. Time to go and do the dishes :)
