① Introduction

Chapter 1: Understanding Simulation

From the beginning of time, every civilisation has practised meditation and prayer as a tool for personal growth. Summoning higher consciousness to confront the trials and tribulations of life and death. As the world gets carried away by virtual reality and artificial intelligence, the wise take a deep breath. The greatest technology known to man still lives between the ears on your head and the drum in your chest. Within the vast expanse of technological progress, it’s crucial to pause and recognize the immense power that still lays dormant within our own minds, bodies and souls.

While technology revolutionizes various aspects of our lives, nurturing our own creational ability becomes more vital than ever. With AI changing the future of everything, individuals must cultivate their own natural intelligence that cannot be replaced by robots. Those who ignore their innate abilities risk becoming dinosaurs. As a new era emerges, the future belongs to those who can act, think and feel beyond the machines. While meditation and prayer can help elevate such higher states of consciousness, it's essential to explore other options and tools.

Simulation is one of them. A frontier of higher consciousness that honours our ancient past, present and future. Our primal intelligence yearns for a harmonious integration with the modern world. Bridging the gaps between age-old wisdom and new-age discovery, in the here and now. Simulation serves as the nexus between our infinite past and the limitless future, enabling us to consciously shape our reality, choose our life path and come home to who we really are. Blending the best of the old and new, simulation melts the lines of what we deem “impossible.”

In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the fundamentals of simulation, its relevance as a practice, its rawness as a tool and the profound impact it can have on our everyday lives. Prepare to embark on a journey of expansion as we navigate the boundless potential of simulation and the dormant capacities that lay within. Whether you're seeking personal growth, or a deeper understanding of the nature of reality, this guide is your gateway to a limitless future.

Chapter 2: Alternatives

To understand simulation fully, it is necessary to understand what alternatives already exist in the world of consciousness. By doing so, it can help deepen the context of why simulation is its own frontier, why other alternatives have their own utility, and how they have helped simulation come to be. The list that follows is by no means an exhaustive coverage of all alternatives, nor is it an attempt to suggest one is better than the other. Their existence and prevalence in either ancient lineage or modern culture helps portray the interconnectedness of how we got here.

Chapter 3: Definitions

The word simulation means one thing to one person and another thing to another. It is vital we create a context of understanding that doesn’t limit its current meaning nor thwart the vast possibility that the word inherently holds. Definitions are necessary, however, they can lock us into realities that impede new interpretations. There are three existing definitions for the word simulation and one theory of consciousness that contextualises the word in modern culture. By deconstructing existing definitions, we create space and velocity for new ideas and inventions to emerge. First, we’ll outline the existing definitions and then, endeavour beyond the lines to enter a new and unfounded territory. A frontier of consciousness that honours the land from which it came, and marvels at the horizon that’s yet to come.

Simulation, existing definitions. Simulation.

1. Imitation of a situation or process.

Imitation is a funny concept. A child will imitate a parent, as much as culture will imitate celebrities. Memetically speaking, imitation is part of our developmental DNA. ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ is the inversion of this phenomenon. We imitate people so much, that we even have a caveat that reminds people to beware of their imitation. On the flipside, we also deny that we imitate others to save face that we are not imitators. We pretend that our original ideas are of our own making, whilst hiding the fact that it’s an iteration on something else that already existed. Then there is the awkwardness of imitation, resisting the need to copy others or playing out pretend scenarios, whilst knowing that we must in order to learn. We want to be authentic, but imitation can feel like a ‘fake’ way to getting there.

For example, making a speech in the mirror can feel weirder that doing the real thing on stage. Because it’s not ‘real’, it’s very easy to avoid rehearsing sincerely. Turns out imitation is a very intimate experience; bizarrely real in fact. Most don’t feel comfortable speaking into a mirror alone, and maybe that’s why most don’t end up speaking on the world stage. Either way, there is a reason we have practices before concerts, tests before rocket launches and trainings before match day. Because imitating the real thing, very much prepares us for the real thing itself. Imitation makes the real thing possible. Ironically, imitation may be as real as it gets.

In pilot school or military training, participants engage in simulated situations as a rite of passage before entering ‘the real world’. These simulations offer a risk-free environment to experience real-life scenarios, translating theoretical knowledge into practical understanding. By undergoing physically demanding trials, individuals gain valuable hands-on experience and skill development for the real thing. Simulations bridge the gap between theory and practice, fostering deep learning and earned competence. The Ancient Greeks were aware that art imitates life, and life imitates art. The same applies to simulation and reality. The question that remains open is, which one imitates which? Or the other question may be, does it even really matter?

Simulation.

2. The action of pretending; deception.

Simulation can also refer to cleverly crafted illusions that can be convincing enough to deceive our senses. This form of simulation involves creating a deceptive experience that can trick our perception and make us believe in something that is not real. Whether it's in the realm of magic tricks, special effects in movies, theatrical make-up, or virtual reality experiences, simulation can captivate and engage our minds by presenting a synthetic reality that appears authentic. In Hollywood, a studio adding special effects to make an action movie better makes sense. The fact that what’s on screen is a make-pretend experience is accepted and expected. But apply the notion of pretending and deceiving in our real lives, then the notion of a simulation becomes a little more icky, tricky and sticky.

In the world of personal development, pretending is a dirty word. It connotates faking it, masking it or hiding the authentic truth. Where liars and cheaters choose the dark side, either ripping off the world or betraying their true selves. And if their ‘pretending’ is not driven by nefarious purposes, at the very least is motivated by a fearful shadow of needing to be in control. Friends, partners and strangers in a never-ending game of cat and mouse, hide and seek, truth and lies, defending and protecting themselves from being exposed. For to be exposed is to lose, and to lose is to die. A survival extinct in-built is as deep as life and death. Or that’s what we make it all mean. The illusions of others, the games people play and the pretension of someone being something to you, and another to someone else. A simulation we find ourselves in with other characters, that can seem insufferable at the worst, confusing at the least. But there is another game at play, and that’s the illusion of self.

In understanding who we are, simulation delves into the complex terrain about the illusions we hold about ourselves. Each of us carries multiple versions of self, tailored for different roles, occasions, and situations. We adapt and present different aspects of our identity to fit societal expectations, personal goals, and the dynamics of our relationships. To be authentic in one setting may appear deceiving in another. The battle for authenticity is fought on many fronts, but its ultimate victory lies within our own hearts. We are all roleplayers in our own life's play, performing different roles to navigate conflicting worlds. We are the directors, actors and audience in our own simulation. And as painful as outer illusions may be, there is nothing more fulfilling than dissolving the illusion of self. The french call orgasm, ‘the little death’. Well, the greatest joy we can know is melting the limits of who we think we are and what we think is possible. The death of one illusion of self to birth something new. Paradoxially, illusion brings us home to what’s real. Without being deceived first, we’d never fight to know to the truth. Ironically, without deception, we’d forget who we really are. And to find who we really are, it takes one thing: simulation. The greatest orgasm of them all.

Simulation.

3. The production of a computer model of something, especially for the purpose of study.

Simulation also involves the deployment computer models that replicate real-world phenomena, primarily for the purpose of study and analysis. By creating these digital representations, experts can explore and understand complex systems, processes, or behaviours in a controlled and virtual environment. From weather forecasting to urban engineering, researchers gain insights that would be impractical or impossible in the physical world. Worlds get simulated for the sole purpose of learning, testing and hypothesising. By playing out possible scenarios, experts in their field are able to study the dynamics and constructs of their tested enviroments. Learning is the goal. What can be witnessed in the simulation, informs how to act and integrate moving forward.

The difference between a computer simulation and mock combat situation is more similar than we think. Sure, fighter training in the military that physically walks soldiers through battle environments is different from a computer model, however the intention and results may be simular. A video game may be more educative than an actual rifle range in some contexts, and probably far more useful than reading a book on guns. The more the line blurs between physical simulation and computer simulation, the greater the efficacy in individuals being able to learn becomes. Experiential learning here is the key. If the computer, can emulate a very real experience, especially for simulations that involve human interaction, then the emotional, phsyical and even spiritual tests one can face in a simulation are endless.

The best computer models will inherently become experiential. Where hypothetising data and speculating through numbers is not sufficient to give the learning response. Theory requires practice. Humans in the computer, and computers in the human is the likely evoloution. But without making a case for cyborgs and doomsdaying a future of robotic consciousness, the point is to emphasie that experiential learning inside the heart and mind of the human is possible through simulation: here and now. And the greatest computer known to man is within man itself. Our brain is the greatest simulation tool in the face of the world. Within a man’s mind, worlds are created, can be created and will be created, until the end of time. So rather than fear computers, or ignore the power of simulation, simulation itself invites us to love the computer that’s been within us all along.

We have covered the existing defintions of simulation. Now, let look at Simulation Theory.

Simulation Theory.

4. A theory of consciousness that proposes our reality may be a computer-generated construct created and controlled by advanced superintelligent beings.

The theory suggests the possibility that our perceived reality is not the base reality but a simulated construct created by superior lifeforms. This idea can be found in the cult classic film The Matrix Trilogy, where humans are unknowingly living in a simulated world. While highly speculative, Simulation Theory challenges our understanding of existence and invites contemplation on the profound mysteries that lie beyond our current perception of reality. We will not spend time to prove or disprove this theory. The question remains open. And will probably remain open for a million more years, just like all the big questions of our existance. The question to really tackle is, how has a negative perception on what the matrix could possibly be, got us trapped and suffering in the matrix we’ve created for ourselves.

Even if we are in a simulation, it doesn’t change the fact that we have the power of simulating our own lives. As above, so below. The ancient hermetic principle reminds us that if we are characters in a simulation, then we are also creators of our own simulation simultaneously. To live under the direction of a superintelligent species would be only-half true. The other half to the story is that we are superintelligent beings also that direct life. If the dimensions above are macro-simulating us, then we are equally micro-simulating dimensions below. At every layer of reality, the same beauty unfolds. To love is to appreciate both sides. There is no escaping the dynamic. There is no where to run, no where to hide. And maybe that’s the most beautiful thing simulation is trying to teach us.

If that’s case, the only dimension that matters is the dimension you are in now. Now in this moment, here is in this world. Because even if you were in a higher simulational realm, even if you ascended to the heights of ascended being, you would stlll remain in a simualtion. In heaven there is a simulation, in hell there is a simulation. The worlds above are the worlds below. Either way, the message is the same. Can you fully love what’s in front of you? The Matrix Trilogy leaves us with a cosmic joke to ponder on. The only way to exit the matrix is to love the matrix on every level. And to love the matrix is the willingness to enter and exit it with all your heart. And only once the matrix is loved, does the matrix no longer seem to be a matrix at all.

Pause.

All existing defintions of simulation and it’s main theory have now been covered. It’s now time to present another option.

Chapter 4: Distinction

All existing defintions of simulation and it’s main theory have now been covered. It’s now time to present another option. A distinction instead of a definition. One that embraces all existing definitions, meanings and their respective contexts, without trying to prove or disprove anything. A distinction is a chance to contrast, colour and create a new context amongst an existing world of meaning. A distinction is not intended to be fact, but rather like jacket, it’s an idea worth trying on. No belief is needed. No ideology is required. And no one is asking you to wear the jacket if the meaning doesn’t fit. All that a distinction does is give space for something new to emerge, without convincing, coercing and cajouling the meaning that came before it.

Our distinction of Simulation:

5. The creation of reality by upgrading consciousness.

In order to understand our distinction of simulation, it is vital that we address the core ingrediants that make up the meaning which we are creating. To skip over the fundamentals would be silly. By appreciating the essential ingrediates underlying what we are trying to create, what we are trying to create can be fully appreciated. Let’s begin by deconstructing our own meaning and interpretation of simulation, word by by word, context by context, to make a clear picture of the world we are creating. And to fully appreciate the world of simulation, it’s crucial to respect, understand and appreciate the power of word itself.

Word

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Genesis 1:1

The most read book in the history starts with the use of Word. It’s very first sentence and probably the most spoken set of words ever, gives an obvious ingrediant worth understanding. In the opening sentence of the bible, the word, Word, is used more than the word, God. Why? We will not waste time debating the existance of God, the bible’s factual correctness, it’s moral correctness, its political correctness or whether its just a mythological set of stories encoding the cryptic secrets of our universe. What we think is most important and what we will explore in our exploration of simulation is, what is Word? Or said another way, what is the language of consciousness itself? Beyond the conventional notion of word as mere letters on a page, they hold a far deeper significance—they are the atomic particles of life itself.

Whether it’s lines of scripture, the codebase of a currency, or the rules of a social network, all worlds are bound and moulded by one thing; the word of their creation. Word is not just referring to words. Word is the language of creation itself. A power gifted to all creative beings. A magic wand that can spellbind millions into constructed realities. It’s in man’s word that man exists. Without word, there is no existance of man. Man is man because man says so in word. Man is not man without the word of man itself. Without Word, man ceases to exist. With Word, man creates the world. It’s a paradox. It’s a headfuck. It’s a riddle. It’s the most beautiful ingrediant that fuels, shapes and sustains life. A base element underpining and interconneciting all worldly things. Its the source of all simulation.

World

Words are the building blocks of creation, the sacred language through which the universe unfolds. Your world is set of words. Word encodes consciousness, shapes reality, and manifests the world we experience. Word is an algorythm that contructs reality. Like pixels in a video game, code in a phone’s software, or scripted lines in a movie. The songs you listen to, the water you drink, the air you breathe. These are all encoded forms of consciousness created by word, written into reality, experienced in the world. It’s very simple. There are an infininite amount species of word that make up the world, and all have the same fundamental purpose. Word is world, world is life. Everything you’ve ever known is word. It’s everything you’ll ever love, and everything you’ll ever be. This is great news. There is no need to escape Word, the World or the matrix. Because as trapped you may feel at times, the fact never changes. Your own word determines your own world. Master your word, master your World. When you do, you’ll stop feeling like you are living in sombody else’s.

A world is an offspring of word that binds the belief and action of its followers. If you follow a certain word, it will lead you to a certain world. To be a master of your world, you must consciously choose the word in your life. Most live their life not knowing they have a choice. Because most have never consciously known the power of their word. By recognizing the profound connection between word and world, we step into the role of conscious creators, wielding the power of language to mold our experiences. By returining home to the power of word, our place in the world becomes less complicated. Our choices become clearer also. If we don’t love the world we are playing in, we have a choice: exit, stay or create a world of our own. Every world that that’s ever been created: a family, a business, a country is the product of a creator whose used their word. Word is the creation of the world. You are always free to make a choice. Even when it seems like there is no choice to make. Impossible is an illusion. And it's the power of your word that makes the “impossible” world real.

Creation

At the genesis level, Word is the source of life. The first principle of all creation. A seed, a spark and bang of light from the void. All sourced from the same ocean, forrest and galaxy of energy. It’s the one thing the scientist and the preachers can’t dispute. We all come from the same place, and where we are going nobody knows. All existance is atomic. Life and death, intrinsically linked. Two sides of the same coin. Sharing the same plain. In more practical terms, your own word is the source of your life. Your word causes and effects the matter of the world. Your Word creates your World.

Our distinction of Simulation:

Simulation

5. The creation of reality by upgrading consciousness.

Simulation is the active practice of reality creation through the transformation and elevation of one's consciousness. It involves harnessing the power of imagination, intention, and invention to shape and manifest desired experiences. Through simulation, individuals tap into their inherent creative abilities as advanced beings and take an active role in designing their own reality. By activating worlds of one’s own choosing across various time horizons, individuals transcend limitations and shape their lived experiences according to their truest callings. Where the alignment of thinking, feeling and acting creates congruent beings that honour their deepest loves and actualised their desired results.

simulations™ is our product to bring this definition to life. That question remains open, but our assertion remains clear. Humans are already advanced beings that simulate and create their own reality with their own innate and in-built technology. We just don’t always know it, don’t always accept it and are very quick to forget it. That’s why simulations™ exists, and why the time has come to expand the definition.

② Pitch

Chapter 3: What is Simulation?

Simulation can be understood and approached in three distinct ways: as a practice, as a tool, and as a possibility. Each perspective offers unique insights into the transformative nature of consciousness and its ability to shape our lives.

Simulation as a possibility.

Simulation opens up a realm of possibilities where time and space become malleable. It offers us the opportunity to transcend linear concepts of time, allowing us to rework the past, reimagine the present, and envision miraculous futures. Within the simulated realms, all moments in time coexist and can be consciously experienced, integrated and merged into one. It’s a playground for creation, where we get to live out, play out and work out versions of ourselves and our lives that serve our highest Self. Time remains a man-made concept. We invented clocks, calendars and years. And although our bodies age over what we call time, the structure of time itself plays by rules that we’ve given it. The possibiity is to play with structures of time. To love our past is to love our future, and vice versa, in the here and now. Your dream future home is the offspring of your past childhood wound. There is no seperation. All time is waiting to be loved, brought home, made whole. There is only ever now.

Simulation as a practice.

Simulation goes beyond traditional meditation practices, offering a dynamic and experiential approach to personal growth. As creative beings, we can generate, create and pivot our own reality by asking the right question in the right context. The quality of our questions determines the quality of our lives. By confronting the big questions of base reality, we can clarify the line between what’s true and what’s false, where our strongest desire to live and love comes to the surface, manifesting worlds we previously deemed “impossible”. Through the characters, scenes and stories that get deconstructed in every simulation, we actively practice the art of miracle-making: by developing our own consciousness and directing our own lives. Where illusions are faced, so your real essence can arise.

Simulation as a tool.

Simulation serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery. It takes us on a sequential odyssey, guiding us through a series of thought-provoking conversations and immersive confrontations that shift and shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By venturing into the depths of our unconscious and exploring the hidden realms, we gain profound insights, awaken raw emotion, and unlock dormant energy key to an authentic expression in the world. Simulation empowers us to become the architects of our own narratives, enabling us to rewrite our stories, challenge limiting beliefs, and create new pathways for fulfilment and growth. The tool is simple. To be our the hero in our journey, every character in our own story must be heard and seen, for us to progress on the path. No story progresses until every character’s role within us and outside of us is acknowledged and appreciated for their unique part. It’s a tool that’s makes you the main character of your own life.

Chapter 4: How does it work?

simulations™ is an experiential learning practice helping individuals master their reality by confronting limited ways of thinking, acting and being. Each simulation is designed for users to create real-world possibilities from real-life situations where everyday chaos is the catalyst and gateway to expanded worlds. Enter your simulation with an obstacle, challenge or important thought, positive or negative, and leave your simulation with an even clearer course of action. Through a carefully designed process, simulation guides individuals to explore alternative perspectives, uncover hidden insights, and discover innovative solutions
