[@ridhimamalhotra1329]

I believe the unknown yogi is Krishna - completing the altar. Aum Guru

[@jarodnorth7134]

The Matrix Trilogy is my favorite movies. I think this reality (Matrix) exits without technology (computer) as an idea of our own reality shared with agreement amongst everyone.

[@mysticcalm369]

To anyone who is reading this I pray that whatever is hurting you gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion and calmness fill your life.

[@Boardwalk_Channel9]

Beautiful ❤

[@morushkagovender1625]

Thank you.

[@ramiasingh9121]

Who else wants Alex to interview his wife too 😊 I know she’s an amazing individual ❤

[@timg.8656]

The Conversations With God books by Neale Donald Walsch, talk about many of these ideas. Multiverse, living many lives at one time, video game analogy, etc.

[@mauimixer6040]

Yes, great books and with humor too. So does Seth in Seth speaks and the Seth Material by Jane Roberts. 😊

[@StarLababy12]

Sending love to everyone 💗

[@karaanaya]

You All are the Ones! Neos each one of you precious souls are special. 🥰Ⓜ️

[@privateprivate1865]

True.. we are all like Jesus as well.. we all have the power to unite with love , but fear must be ignored.. easier Said than done

[@karaanaya]

@@privateprivate1865 I have walked down that path and faced my fears. Do I still have them, yes but they are not intrusive anymore. My emotions, ego, and thoughts are my friends once I began really loving this vessel then I started connecting to my Oversoul and that is what we each are doing.

[@Asis4God]

I feel like if you chose unconditional love based on authentic understanding of that choice, it will always be the right answer for all.

[@privateprivate1865]

Yep.. its weird that many are experiencing spiritual awakenings recently.

[@Alkhemist14]

The hardest journey is returning back to where you never left and letting go of things that you don’t even have. This is the quest of life. SILENCE then becomes our savior. Nothing is really happening. “THERE IS NO CASE”(dark city movie). Great conversation. I enjoyed watching. MAKTUB

[@sandradaniel-ok6gv]

The Silva system taught his children to read minds. This is what we were programmed not to be able to do! Love this topic!!🎉

[@user-hc8gz5ks6q]

Our souls are from the creator of all that is the universe. Our souls are so large i do believe the soul is fragmented into many lives on many timellines all at once❤❤

[@ellenwhitworth7286]

I saw my nieces souls come down at the moment of birth. I think she really hesitated to come. She talks about how she really does not want to be here. 😂

[@Genious_Trades]

That makes two of us 😂

[@dogsrbetter]

I've thought this way my entire life until recently. Spirituality has helped me so much. It took me awhile to figure out what spirituality meant for me, but I feel like I figured it out enough to finally be content. Blessings to ur niece 💖 and you 😊

[@robertalibermann4747]

I really don’t want to be here either,never have , i love my parents but dislike that they made me, I look forward to going to the real world with the creator of everything, whenever that happens.

[@Royalroadtotheunc]

There's also the possibility that technologically advanced civilizations on other planets decided *not* to pursue simulations. If that's the case, kudos to them. Perhaps they're wiser than us.

[@johnmcdonald219]

Wouldn't be hard, we're the most intelligent ans stupid species on earth, capable of amazing greatness and yet we are destroying our planet whilst inventing more deadly ways to kill ourselves.

[@user-bw2zt5jd9u]

All of that blathering to say “ We come here to experience contrast.” That’s it, that’s all.

[@ilsy74]

We always always knew about the matrix. We just need movies now to remind us because we have started to take life way too seriously

[@dailyabundance]

Brilliant conversation. Loved every minute The Matrix movie (the 1st) changed my life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the sequels went off message. 🙏🏽

[@OwnedbyCorgis]

The matrix changed my life as well.

[@twinEAH]

Actually, during sleep we jump in and out all the time.

[@user-uh2ns7bh9d]

We are each creating our own video game. We are all in our own space time continuum.

[@NightmareRex6]

how can we just have abundance and not have to deal with the crappy greedy concept known as "money"?

[@Patatmetmayo]

The way I see it is we are each our own universe, and together we form the multiverse.

[@user-uh2ns7bh9d]

@@Patatmetmayo Yes, ad infinitum

[@johnmcdonald219]

So explain imagination

[@cupidok2768]

It's a sandbox MMORPG online player game where you connect with other players.

[@WildBillHickums]

I actually think "Cloud atlas" is equally as mind blowing as The Matrix and deeply dives into reincarnation but something i didnt realize until recently, the idea of simultaneous lifetimes. Reslly deep movie.

[@VGiacobe]

The Thinker was my first ME. I was organizing some pictures and came across several I took at Columbia University. Still can’t get over it.

[@caroleminke6116]

I graduated from Columbia in 1980 & that statue is iconic ✨

[@karenburton4276]

Please interview David icke from the UK, he spoke about what was going to happen to the world in the 1980s. His predicted what is happening now. Amazing man.

[@QuickSticks8771]

He’s banned from KZbin so he wouldn’t be able to show it But enough people seem to be publicly coming to similar conclusions so they can’t ban all of them

[@lisawelch2110]

I've never heard of him. How can I see his videos?

[@anjastracey-pijnappels7332]

What about Jules Verne!? He was around in Dickens time and wrote about going to the moon, people living inside earth, time travel. He was writing about all those things. Way ahead of what we even now coming to recognise as possible (people living inside earth)

[@Asis4God]

I grew up watching Ed McMann showing up at people’s doors and we got the Readers Digest Books that had the Sweepstakes offer in them. They had gold embossing. I remember

[@ONE_22]

As do I!

[@temesgenalemu3645]

I need someone who pray for me?

[@Squalala420]

No i pray for everyone before the Big Bang you don’t need to be praised

[@Perfectlyimperfect1962]

Done! ❤

[@nawatime_titha]

Please tell me when?

[@Squalala420]

It’s the everyone number that’s gonna be complicated haha !

[@SamDobbins21]

Sending prayers 🙏

[@pure_potential2212]

To go even further with the analogy of the movie "Matrix" ... Neo might be all the characters in the movie experiencing different states of consciousness. He is everything and everybody, Neo himself, his teachers and his enemies... Fascinating is also the movie "Arrival" regarding our understanding of time. Thanks for all these interesting themes.🙏🏼❤

[@shannonklos]

I love the idea of multiple lives at the same time. It’s alway made sense. Think about how while you’re living life at the same time you have let’s say an “aunt Jane” who you know exists you have an unseen connection to and at the same time you’re living life so is aunt Jane. Two completely different lives happening at the same time. It’s the same for us as individuals and how we’re connected in an unseen way to everyone else. We just don’t think about everyone else like that

[@LovinLnCottage]

Have you heard of Carlos Castaneda? His books were my introduction to alternate realities. 1972?

[@Boardwalk_Channel9]

Teachings of Don Juan 👍

[@bethcorcoran9714]

Teachings of Don Juan was my start, welcome my tribe❤

[@paulagomez8885]

Read his stuff back in the 70's.

[@achillea2922]

Love it when you get all nerdy and excited talking about films!

[@catlady1171]

Love your channel, Alex!!! I have to say- I do remember Ed McMahon and the sweepstakes thing. It was actually American Family Publishers, not the Publisher's Clearing- they were frequently mistaken for each other. I used to get them mistaken back in the day.

[@katygarner1528]

I work in the entertainment department at Universal, and I have coworkers who are in the Bourne Stuntacular as background actors and stunt performers. It’s a cool show.

[@ladettea1qaanderson908]

I love that he refers to this life as having quests and achievements 💓

[@AstralAnecdotes]

The movie Heathers references Ed McMahon bringing the check! Just watched it again after many years.

[@nikkic83]

Sounds like the oversoul is the player and physical reality is the avatar

[@Ifasanya]

Interesting interview. I have had experiences where I was in multiple bodies in different spaces. I was in bed but fully awake seeing various iterations of myself living in different lives.

[@Artist11_NC]

Thats pretty rad!

[@MK7of7of7of7]

You appeared on my screen this morning, so thank you for helping me finding my way Home.

[@indigopisces]

LOVED this conversation!!! The Matrix is one of my all time favorite movies! Actually on New years Eve going from 2019 to 2020 I rewatched it to celebrate not knowing just how relevant it would become in the upcoming year. Just got the audible version of Simulation Hypothesis! Looking forward to listening! Mahalo to you both! ✨💎🔥

[@marinastoian3875]

How do we 'tune in' back or fwd, if someone dear dies? Meaning, how can we change our multivers with that person then? Is there any possibility to change frequency and meet? How that person that dies changes realities? Can she/he/it die in one reality and live in another? Interesting topic, thanks for bringing this into our attention! 🤗Cheers ❤

[@zebrizzle40]

I enjoyed the knowledge aspect of it! He’s very smart!

[@neeleymountain]

It’s a morality play/game. The bigger question is why? Why are we watching, playing it? Learning? Why?

[@user-hc8gz5ks6q]

To grow up and realize we are the I am❤😊

[@neeleymountain]

@@user-hc8gz5ks6q then what? Once you know…what’s the point of knowing? Infinity doesn’t end, so you know who you are but you’re not over. What then, to what purpose? What do you do with your knowledge?

[@gailpaquette685]

all of us live inside our heads and each of us interprets the world according to our own ideas - and Byron Katie came out of that and teaches us how to see the world as it really is instead of how we are.

[@illume5145]

great interview

[@busdriver428]

Agent Smith "...still using all the muscles except the one that matters." I think this quote goes deeper than Smith mocking Neo for not knowing what he (Smith) wants. Neo doesn't realize how powerful he really could be. Neo could have simply used his mind to annihilate Agent Smith. I think it's an underlying message that we all can be more powerful if we try to enlighten ourselves through meditation and other practices.
