SIMULATION CREATIONISM
Why is Jesus’ Path Through The Simulation
The Simulation works through simulated events and challenges in front of an observer in a simulated world. We go through it largely unaware of the nature of reality. On this journey, we do not choose the specific events and challenges, and we definitely do not know their outcomes. It is all predetermined by the Creator — God. Still, we have clues as to what this journey is about. In the theory of Simulation Creationism, developed by Nir Ziso of The Global Architect Institute, we see souls learning in cycles of simulated worlds. We may not influence what is happening and how it ends in The Simulation, but we can acquire inner knowledge.
At a particular moment in history, God incarnated himself. He entered The Simulation to be a beacon for the souls inhabiting it. The incarnation was done with the body of Jesus Christ. We have significant clues in scripture that he is the one to follow: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. (John 14: 6).
Jesus warned his disciples that they did not meet God if they did not meet him first. One of the apostles, Philip, asks Jesus to show them the Father, to which Jesus answers: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’” (John 14:9).
In the Bible, Jesus is the only one who offers a path to God the Father. Such a path is the internal wish of every soul since we are bound by Divine Light to be with our Creator. Even when we are unaware of it, our desires and wishes reflect a profoundly existing bond with God. Ever since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, it is as if human souls look for a lost communion with God. The first experience in the Garden of Eden reaches parts of our souls, although the departure from there was predetermined for the purposes of The Simulation. Adam and Eve did not “fall” by their own will but by God’s decision to send them the snake. Simulation Creationism reminds us that everything is a simulated play, as our souls are involved in a learning process, just like a pilot flies a plane in a simulator.
All of our temptations, desires, and wishes bring only temporary satisfaction. Our internal selves call for durable and eternal satisfaction. When we make decisions, even if we know that the outcome will be predetermined, we need to understand the implications of such a decision. When we decide based on Christ’s conduct, we can be sure that we are following the rule of The Simulation. Even beyond it, we can think about how Christ would act in particular situations!
Jesus is the Truth. His word is the truth. Trying to find the truth of our lives in Him is valid. We can look for the comprehension of The Simulation in this Truth. Reading the Gospels brings us all the truth we need.
Jesus is the Life. He is the Life given to the end. He is the life that does not fear death. He is the life that does not fear suffering. He is the life that does not fear the end. He knows that the life of the soul never ends. He knows that death brings us to a new simulated world. He knows that suffering is here to strengthen us during challenges and events. He knows that our physical end is not the end of our souls; quite the contrary, it is just an end that announces a new beginning. Let us look at our lives and see them as living together with the One who is the Life. It means giving oneself to others.
Looking at the Lord as the Way, Truth, and Life opens the path to God and brings to Him. Satisfaction is not temporarily relieving our desires but following Christ’s example. It is not fearing life’s end but embracing it as a new beginning. It leads to a communion that feels impossible, as the evangelical texts suggest: “Who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever” (1 Timothy 6:16); “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” (John 4:24); “He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light” (John 1:8).
However, we can see God only through the energy that runs The Simulation. It is the energy that Simulation Creationism calls the “Supercomputer,” and in many instances, we can identify it with the Holy Spirit. God can only be seen through this kind of energy: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you — they are full of the Spirit and life” (John 6:63). Indeed, many Psalms testify to the human desire to see God! Many Christian mystics tried to find a way to see God as well!
When we look at Jesus Christ, we need to see his human and divine character: spirit, character, and divinity as one. What does this mean? Spirit and divinity are not achieved by some particular spiritual discipline but rather through following Christ’s example. We need to follow his fragility, suffering, and self-giving to understand his immense knowledge of the rules of The Simulation. If you suffer, you can see the Creator; by mere understanding, it is a simulation where you cannot be eternally hurt. If you sacrifice for others, your sacrifice will show you the Creator. He will let you understand that sacrifice entails detachment from The Simulation and realizing reality. If you have an event or challenge where you show love for others, you will see God. It is the ultimate path that Jesus leads you through The Simulation.
