Back from pondering. My thought process is as follows.
First, I thought of the normie matrix like simulation, humans trapped by something in a world not quite real (part of the real world, but as a contained space). This is unlikely but also a nightmare scenario. Of you cant crack the code to 'live' comfy or escape (possibly as a self aware piece of software in some abstract alien network) theres not point in anything and you should accept your cage.


Then I though of an opposite scenario. What if it's a cradle ? What if our old myths, shared mythology and religions are a set of instructions programmed into the human psyche to develop us into something ... more. A cradle meant to nourish, and protect. Think of how many myths of 'dont let it in / don't open the door' exist. I can think of images more terrifying than anything put on painting or film, that rouse a basic instinct of fear. Why did we evolve the uncanny valley fear ?


And finally, the possible truth. It's both. It's a cradle for those of us not yet ready, and who still need to grow, and it's a prison for those that have become aware, and their test is to escape ... possibly at the cost of those still in their infancy.

Be in the world not of the world. You don't escape, you are set free by Jesus. We are like God's fingers, but there are gods who you can belong to including the self. There is delusion and there is truth.
