Where Did the Road Go? Radio
On this, the 6th Anniversary Show for Where Did the Road Go?, Seriah welcomes back his first ever guest on the show, Jim Elvidge, to talk about his latest book, Digital Consciousness. They discuss the evidence that reality is digital, and that we live in a sort of simulation, and what all that may mean. Jim says it’s a theory that can explain everything, and they go over various parts of it, from Quantum Strangeness to the Paranormal…

Digital Consciousness with Jim Elvidge – Jan 26, 2019
The Holographic Principle is that 3D information can exist in a 2D reality, The Holographic Paradigm of David Bohm & Karl Pribram is, reality is Holographic, ie the part contains the whole as much as the whole contains the part, basically mutual containment, mutual dependence & mutual identity, represented by the Yinyang symbol, it's also related in Philosophy to Alfred North Whitehead's Process Metaphysics & in Religion to Hua-yen Buddhism, one could say the Philosophy behind Zen. If you think about it our everyday experience is Holographic, as each cell contains the blueprint for the whole organism & "Objective" realty exists in each of our heads, ie the Whole is contained in the parts.
Jumping genes took about 35 years.
I wonder if the Big Bang was a local phenomena that occurred in a Mega-universe.
The big problem is when rational presuppositions (hypothesis) are taken as empirical evidence.
Not necessarily observable, but detectable/measurable.
What you talk about with the double slit experiment isn't the Observer effect, but more probably the measurement problem, it becomes the Observer effect when consciousness is involved, which of course is always, so it should really be called the measurement-observer effect.
No one knows what happens with the double slit experiment, there are many interpretations, some people will state that their favourite interpretation is the truth, if that was the case there wouldn't be all the many interpretations, just like the Atheist/ Theists arguments, if they knew the arguments & discussions wouldn't exist, so they're Agnostics in denial.
For me consciousness is a subset of experience which is basically Physicality, as inanimate objects can have experiences, as expressed in natural vanacular, but no memory or cognition of those experiences, consciousness is meta-experience. Though I'm not a Physicalist, as I don't think, one can say from a Scientific viewpoint that nothing else exists apart from the Physical, whatever that is.
Even Physicalism, as Space-time can be hyperdimensional has the possibility of survival of death, as we may be hyperdimensional beings.
Choice is predestined, predestination is chosen!
Hyperdimensionality explains all those things mentioned.
According to Bashar, what we perceive as ‘outer reality’ is not real. There really is nothing ‘out there’ out there. It is all a projection of our consciousness, reflecting to us our state of being in ‘physical terms’ to help us grow and rediscover who we really are from a new perspective. On the path of rediscovering who we really are, we are still exploring definitions and belief systems which do not always work out to our advantage. With a certain time-lag we get the respective feed-back from our reality projections that show us in 3-D that we are still operating on belief systems which are not conducive to our growth. Hence the unpleasant events we may encounter in our lives and the atrocities we can see on TV. Regarding the description of the physical mechanism of how to project a ‘reality out there’, Bashar is fine with the terminology used by modern scientists when describing the universe as a multiverse and the manifestation of matter as a result of energy waves which are holographically fixed by thought patterns, i.e.: the multiverse as a hologram.
The result and the purpose of our virtual reality projections (inside our consciousness) are the experiences we have when shifting across an infinitude of still and static virtual reality frames at the rate of Planck-time. Experiences matter. They are real, our reality isn’t. When shifting we are looking through the eyes of the respective version of us which is already in the frame – still and static. Has been and will be. When leaving the frame one moment later for the next one, we are leaving the previous version of us to look through the eyes of the next one, the one which comes with the next frame, equally still and static. Like the projection of the frames of a film strip in a cinema providing the illusion of time and movement when projected onto a screen. In order for us to have our experiences as fully as possible we perceive the projections of our consciousness as if we were alive on the screen, participating in the middle of the projected environment. At night and upon death we leave the cinema (for the next one)
Shifting from one frame to the next occurs at an incredible speed. The version of us which began reading this sentence is no longer the version (of us) reaching the end of the sentence. In between an incredibly high number of other frames (and other versions of us) which may be differing from the previous one just by one atom (Bashar). So when a questioner is asking a question in a Bashar session, upon finalising the formulation of the question, that questioner is no longer the version he ‘was’ at the beginning of the question. The same applies to the counterpart. There is an infinitude of ‘Bashars’ talking to us from the other side and an incredibly high number of versions are selected and actually materialised for creating the illusion of ‘him’ listening to the questioner only for reaching the point where he can ultimately begin with his answer.
The driving engine of the reality projection are our definitions and belief systems. The ones we were already borne with (Bashar), the ones we took on along the way from our social environment, the ones we use to consciously replace old ones which we discover as no longer useful. Without definitions and beliefs there is no reality projection, however unconscious and hidden the beliefs may be. The beliefs create the feelings and the feelings create the thoughts, leading to activities and behaviour. Top down from the template level reality, where the physical mind is in communication with the Higher Mind, receiving or rejecting advice from the higher levels. The vibrations of the beliefs and definitions determine the specific sequence of virtual reality frames we ‘get’, i.e. select from the infinitude of still and static frames (from the matrix) for the purpose of our specific reality projection (inside the matrix). If we changed the vibratory level of our definitions and beliefs, we would be immediately manifesting a different sequence of frames, and project a different ‘reality’, which is more in alignment with what we say we prefer. Shifting through the virtual reality frames is an automatic process, we cannot stop it.
All versions of us already exist. They are fixed in the frames together with the respective environment, the background and the versions of other players (as needed). With the vibratory level of our definitions and beliefs we are compiling a sequence of specific frames. These can be the frames with the killer versions of us (and the respective environment) or frames where we are positioned to be projected more as saints. And everything in between. By shifting we are ‘activating’ the versions, thus creating the illusion of time and movement on the way to our specific experience. The experience is what it is all about. Only the experience is real. The rest is a projection of our consciousness inside consciousness. There is nothing ‘out there’ out there. http://www.sethforum.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2609
Where did the road go is very good.
I'm working on a digital game as the discussion focuses on the observer effect, and can easily relate to what Jim is saying about results showing up only when they need to, when they're "triggered" by observation or measurement, etc. Somehow that makes more sense to me than "communicating backwards in time." Though part of me still says the flow of time is also an illusion: In a digital game, there is no real distance, so objects can "teleport" instantaneously from one world to another. Quantum entanglement also acts as if there is no real distance between "entangled" subatomic particles. I haven't gotten through the whole interview yet, so i'm wondering if Jim will talk about that phenomenon as well.
Are we analog beings living in a digital world. Would digital and analog work best together?
I was genuinely levelling my Shaman alt on WoW while wacthing this lol that's spooky!
I see the word devil in his name ! Jus saying 🤔 great show even so x
congrats on the anniversary~~
This was a good show!
This is pretty interesting so far, but something he just said really bothers me. He's talking about the possibility of a simulated reality, but says that someone who believes in a flat earth isn't credible? What is "credible" in a simulated reality? What good are "facts"? It's all nonsense to me, none of it is real imo edit- also, reality changes constantly anyway, so today's fact is tomorrow's misunderstanding or misinterpretation
