CAUTION: DO NOT READ
THIS BLOG AS IT CONTAINS "SPOILER INFORMATION." IF YOU DON'T MIND KNOWING INFORMATION WHICH
EXPOSES THE TRUTH, THEN GO AHEAD AND READ ON.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
For Role playing gamers who play games such as” SkyrIm” and “Mass
Effect 3,” to name a couple of recent titles, what makes these games good
ones?
Maybe not the only thing, but certainly up there in
relevance, is the realism and immersion the player can experience while playing
the game. The quality of the graphics
and the activities the player experience also contributes to the enjoyment of the game.
For movie goers, what makes the movies they watch good
movies?
The story is good, the acting is not obvious and the
environments the story takes place are fully developed and believable. The production is typically made in such a
way that the viewer is able to become immersed in the story and feel like they
are identified with a character or characters in the movie. In other words, for the movies which are
really good, the viewer forgets he/she is watching a movie and begins to forget
that he/she is sitting in a movie theater watching light being projected onto a
blank white screen.
Now, here is something you might not have ever considered
before. (The Spoiler.)
We are in the ultimate role playing game/movie right
now. Yes we are. It is so well made, with such great detail,
that we are certain this is real, and we've become so identified with our part
in the game/movie of life, that I am fairly certain no one is willing to
readily believe me when I tell this to you, it is more like light shining on the
movie screen than you might want to believe.
This life experiencing in this 3 dimensional reality is 100%
immersive. The creator has spared no expense
in bringing this to you so that you could believe you are the character you
are playing, you are the person you believe yourself to be, and the feelings and experiences you are having are real.
Yes, it feels extremely real. It looks extremely real, and all the elements
which involve all of our senses inform us that this is real. But of course, if you wanted to play in this
reality, you would make it as real as possible, wouldn't you? Maybe somewhere, you'd provide clues, or some
way for you to eventually realize this is figuratively a projection of light on
a screen.
For those of you who enjoy the mystery and fooling yourself,
I am sorry to have revealed this to you.
Of course, you can easily deny it and say I'm crazy, but once you know
it isn't real, you know. It is like when
you learn how a magician does his tricks, the fun and mystery is removed and
you may no longer have an interest in watching the magician perform his tricks.
Some people who learn how the tricks are done, want to
perform the tricks themselves and therefore entertain others who don't know how
the tricks are done. Some people knowing
how the tricks are done, might want to fashion the tricks to be to their own
liking and interests, and so new tricks are born using the same methodology.
So, who is it who is making this life experience totally
immersive game/movie we find ourselves in?
Each of us is. We
each are the creator of our own life experience totally immersive game/movie,
even to the extent that we believe we aren't doing this, even to the extent we believe we aren't creating
this and it is just happening, or we believe someone or some supreme being is
doing this.
Actually, it is marvelous how well made this life
experiencing is. It is the supreme
creation of a master creator, and this master creator is the source of the one
who is reading this right now, is the source and substance of each particle from
the tiniest of tiny to the largest of large expression in being. Now that you've read this, what's next? You're the creator, it is up to you.
