I will show you your life.

Smiling, “The Creator-Nature”, reached into the cloak of creation and brought forth a box of matches. Slowly, nature extracted one small match and held it up. “I will show you your life, your world; all of which is but a very small part of My Creation. Deliberately the Creator then drew the match head across the igniting surface of the box, and as it flared into life, nature held up the blazing sliver. Then immediately blew it out!

“CREATION AND DISSOLUTION’ the Creator said. “The flaring match head emitted millions of small particles, each exploding away from its fellows. Each of these small particles was consisted—was made up of-- even smaller particles. These smaller particles represent the solar system, as you know it, and everything that exists in it, including what you call planet earth; each of the larger particles-- a universe and the flame as a whole represent—THE COSMOS. And, the cosmos died when the flame was extinguished. If that were the cosmos in which you exist (you will never know that it was not unlike) it had life; life that would have existed for millions of your years.”

COULD WE ALL BE, WE, EXIST ONLY ON COMPUTER, ARE WE JUST A PART OF A VIDEO GAME?

Ever ask yourself “how are video games made, what are they?” If you’ve ever thought it might be fun to make a video game—be a part of it, think about it some more, the next time you play one.

One of the first things done graphically in the video game creation process is to program the characters. Graphic designers and 3D animators start with sketches, and then they create the character in the system and program its available actions, beliefs, characteristics, knowledge, memory, movement, and vulnerabilities--everything about and to do with that character--including a world. Not only do graphic designers, artists and animators now create beautifully detailed characters and game worlds but they are rapidly improving all areas—to the point that it is hard to tell them from reality. But, video characters/worlds exist only on computer; for them, the program is reality and reality exists only in what is programmed. Often, there may be additional optional character apps available with the game. Usually these optional characters will have come from different worlds and/or different realities. Different video games can and will have different characters, existing in different worlds--each believing in reality for that particular game. If we were all just computer characters, on The Creater's’s giant computer, we would not know it.Our reality would exist only in the game reality; and, of course, we would not  exist, except in the game. Perhaps that is why our SCIENTISTS tell us all MATTER amounts to is energy (one of its many, ever changing, transient forms). Perhaps that is also why, if in our own mind we do not exist, we do not exist elsewhere. This fact??? should be of great comfort to all those who seek "EVERLASTING LIFE"; for, according to our knowledge (programmed), while the video in which we appear may well become obsolete, never again to be played,we can never be, entirely, destroyed.or used up.
