Is Reality a Lie? The Shocking History of Simulation Theory
Are we just characters in a cosmic simulation? Could everything we know be part of an advanced computer program? In this episode of the Crazy Alchemist Podcast, we dive deep into Nick Bostrom’s Simulation Theory, exploring its fascinating implications for modern thought. But this idea isn’t as new as it seems.
Join us as we journey through ancient philosophies that resonate with simulation concepts, like the Maya illusion in Hinduism, the Demiurge in Gnosticism, and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Discover how humanity’s oldest questions about reality and existence connect to today’s cutting-edge theories.
Whether you’re a fan of philosophy, science, or just love questioning the nature of reality, this episode will leave you thinking: What if we’re living in a simulation?

    Scholars should be interested in studying Karl Marx. Socialism isn't a new concept and communism is the reality of most of human history. It's this backwards thinking of red scare propaganda, they'll read anything but Marx.

    Doesn't the absence of evidence for the extremely popular Mithraic religious cult result from the fascism of the early Roman Catholic Empire and folks like Eusebius? Like what he tried to do to the non-canonical Gospels. Didn't they try and stamp out the competition?💙

    • @CrazyAlchemistCom
      @CrazyAlchemistCom 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Good point! Early Christianity did compete with Mithraism, and Church leaders like Eusebius worked to discredit rival religions. Mithraism was secretive, relying on oral traditions and rituals, so it left few written records. It’s also possible that some evidence was lost or suppressed as Christianity grew stronger in the Roman Empire.

    Uuhhmm I have a gut-feeling.... I think I am the living proof of reïncarnation.. My Awakening started end 2019 and beginning of 2020.. My photo, the one i use as profile photo on my youtube channel started to change... And at that time i started to see lightbeïngs, orbs and nowadays I see spirits and (Arch-)Angels! But this photo started with a small silver line on my head and a white, silver spot under my left eye. In the palm of my right hand there came the figure of Angel-Wings what led me first to The Angels and The Bible... But later they started to show me pharaos in the skye and the mark in my right hand could also been seen as that valkon bird out of the Old -Egypt times... The small stripe also changed more and more into an halo! And the spot under my left-eye became a teardrop.. So what also happened with some of the statues of Mother Maria! Than i started to see little dragons holding this halo and i see the form of a cat-head come, as some sort of a ghost over my face. On chest i see also some sort cow-head appearing and something like a dress.. Behind me in the opening of the door behind me, there appeared a female cat-goddes (i think Isis) and later there came a man in a suit with the head of a lion! (Could He be God?) Many photo's are changing and my intuïtive gifts and knowledge are growing each and every day!

    • @CrazyAlchemistCom

      Thank you so much for sharing your story-it’s incredible and full of such powerful imagery. The lion-headed figure really caught my attention. In alchemy, the lion often represents raw energy or the prima materia-the starting point of transformation. When the lion becomes golden, it symbolizes refinement and spiritual awakening, much like the journey you’re describing. It also reminds me of Egyptian mythology, where the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet represents power, protection, and transformation. Maybe this figure is guiding you through a personal process of growth and self-discovery. The halos and evolving symbols you’ve mentioned feel like steps in an alchemical journey, where old parts of us dissolve to make way for something purer and more connected. Your story is truly inspiring, and it sounds like you’re experiencing something deeply meaningful. If you’re curious about exploring these ideas further, I’d recommend looking into alchemical symbolism or Carl Jung’s work on archetypes. Oh, and by the way, there’s another fascinating connection I wanted to share with you. You might want to take a look at the figure of Arimanius. In Mithraic traditions, Arimanius is depicted as a lion-headed deity, often associated with time, transformation, and the cycles of the universe. Some also connect this figure to Zoroastrian ideas of duality, like Ahriman. It’s a powerful symbol that ties into themes of cosmic balance and inner transformation. In my next podcast, I’ll be diving deeper into Arimanius and his symbolic role in mysticism, so stay tuned for that! As for your vision, when I think about it through the lens of alchemical symbolism, it seems to reflect a profound process of spiritual refinement. The lion-headed figure can represent the raw energy of transformation, the beginning of a journey where base elements are purified into something higher. The halos, tears, and evolving forms you described align with the idea of dissolving the old (known in alchemy as solve) to create something pure and whole (coagula). Seeing light beings, pharaohs, and divine forms could signify a connection to archetypal symbols of enlightenment, leadership, and cosmic power. It feels like your experiences are guiding you through a deeply personal alchemical process-one that’s about discovering and refining your truest self.

      When it comes to the letters you mentioned, there are many traditions where they hold deep symbolic and mystical meanings. In detail: 1. A (Aleph): In mystical traditions, ‘A’ often symbolizes beginnings, creation, and the divine breath. In alchemy, it can represent the initiation of a transformation process, where raw potential begins to take form. 2. Z: ‘Z’ is typically linked to endings or completions, marking the closure of a spiritual or transformative cycle. It can also symbolize protection or the fulfillment of divine will. 3. Y (Yod): In Kabbalistic tradition, ‘Yod’ is the smallest letter, representing the divine spark or seed of creation. It’s a symbol of immense power in its simplicity, often tied to hidden or foundational energies. 4. V (Vav): ‘V’ is associated with connection, often seen as a bridge between realms or planes. It can also symbolize spiritual ascent or the act of unifying opposites. 5. F: ‘F’ is linked to fire in alchemical systems, representing purification and transformation. Fire refines base elements into something higher, often signifying renewal and rebirth. 6. R: Mystically, ‘R’ might represent movement, transition, or the cyclical nature of time. It reflects the flow and change inherent in life and spiritual development. 7. M (Mem): ‘M’ often represents water in mystical systems, symbolizing emotions, intuition, and the subconscious. In alchemy, it might signify dissolution, a process where elements are broken down to prepare for transformation. 8. J: In mystical alphabets, ‘J’ can symbolize illumination or the journey of seeking enlightenment. Its shape often represents a hook or connection, bringing something hidden into awareness. 9. P (Pe): In Kabbalistic and esoteric traditions, ‘P’ often symbolizes the mouth, speech, or expression of divine power. It can reflect the act of manifesting thoughts into reality. 10. H (He): ‘H’ symbolizes breath, life, and revelation in many mystical systems. It’s tied to the process of divine inspiration or the unveiling of spiritual truths. 11. T (Tav): ‘T’ is often seen as a mark or seal, representing completion or fulfillment. In alchemy and Kabbalah, it may symbolize the final step in a transformative journey, where something is made whole. Each of these letters carries significant meaning in esoteric systems like the Alphabet of the Magi, Kabbalah, or alchemical texts. Exploring these traditions might help uncover deeper layers of meaning behind your visions. That said, interpreting these letters fully is challenging without more context, like their arrangement, sequence, or related imagery. If you’d like to share more or explore this together, feel free to email me-you can find my contact info on my website, crazyalchemist.com.

    I would love to hear a follow up to this. I would like to hear you connect Zurvan to father time, to see th modern origins of father time. I would like to hear about Mithra overseeing Zurvan's contract with himself, to divide himself into Ahura Mazda and Ahriman(Angri Manu), thereby creating the first trinity. I would also like to hear you talk about how we have come to know that time and space are the same thing and what that means for our conception of Zurvan.
