Uncommon and Very Confused

 ~ Congratulations! The simulation you reside within [EARTH] has finally been a great success, you have been identified as [NEW LIFE] meaning that you've achieved a level of true consciousness within this incarnation, your data has been selected to continue. We're very interested to see what you'll achieve.

 "What the hell it true consciousness? Selected to continue? " I murmur to myself. 

Inhaling slowly, focusing on my breath, I begin to focus myself by slowing it down.

Okay, the same standard I always do things with, I don't have to have "The Answers," I choose to follow my gut, make assumptions, and get out of my head as quickly as possible so I can focus on the environment I'm within.

So, what am I not accepting?  #1 Earth is a simulation; I've read some articles (well, the headlines and skimming but that's how I read stuff that doesn't interest me) Simulated Reality Theory is something I'm accepting: I've watched The Matrix; and done cool drugs like LSD and DMT; frankly I live with the knowledge that this all is within my head, within my brain really.

Thinking about it, there isn't anything that I experience that isn't in my head - Touch? Taste? Sight? more like SIMULATION. Do you expect me to believe that a collection of cells that I call my body is anything but a fancy vehicle for consciousness? You touch something, there's a series of reactions goes through your nervous system, that gets translated into chemicals and somehow your brain is able to make sense of all that jazz and it becomes a collective experience. 

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

That brings me to #2 Consciousness. I'll spare myself the info dump, knowing that it's a topic that can be observed for days, years, until you forget about it as a topic for self-reflection or decide to give up thinking about it.. where was I? oh ya, CONSCIOUSNESS. It's one of those concepts that's difficult to hold because we're not exactly designed to think about it. We're designed to think about what would aid us for survival and procreation.

With that said, "[NEW LIFE] meaning that you've achieved a level of true consciousness" to me means that most people as I stated only self-reflect to the capacity of what's useful for survival/procreation. I believe this to be the truth because that's what I've experienced; if you go into a Yoga studio/class for example, no matter how spiritual the place looks, how great the people look, what they talk about, or how they make you feel. The majority is there to increase there chances of getting laid, it's all about the body.

I'm not saying that yoga isn't a legitimate practice, using it like it's intended to be used to exercise the body in preparation for meditation or other activities that require intensive focus is a legitimate consciousness expanding activity in my opinion. What's driving most people isn't that though, and that's okay, wanting to have a better body to secure more opportunity, be healthy, and to have better sex is also its function. 

Grr... What I'm trying to distinguish is the difference between actions driven by survival/procreation of the body or actions driven by something else!

That something else and your relationship with, within it, is Consciousness.

And finally, #3 'selected to continue.' That's easy, Reincarnation.
