End-of-World Dream

submitted by CHIRO to whatever 1 dayJun 15, 2025 10:13:55 ago (+12/-1)     (whatever)

I know it's a social faux pas to talk about dreams, but damn. This one won't let go.

People were talking about nuclear war. Somebody kept pressuring me about God: my disbelief, that I needed to get right, like now. I shrugged them off.

Then the stars disappeared. The color green went away. It just went away. Wherever there had been green, there wasn't any green any more. Then more colors started to go. Slowly, all of these things started just disappearing from the world, but not all at once. It was incremental.

And the realization dawns on me we are in some kind of matrix and it is being shut down.

The reason dream-talk is frowned on is because we all know you can't communicate to anybody else the significance of your dream experience. But God damn that dream has stuck with me all morning. The sense of absolute dread. I began praying in the dream, but the sense was that I was too late.

Some three different people came to me in the dream after that, all in states of panic, but all with different answers (we have to go to such and such a place, or we need to do such and such a thing; I can't remember any of their plans).

When I woke up, I thought: you need to stop paying attention to Israel for a while.

This is your religious instinct trying to reconcile the world being more complex than it can understand and your ego thinking it can understand everything even the most complex things and interactions if it explains it well enough trying to rationalize their incompatibility.

Your religious circuits are a short cut to understand the things beyond the turbo processors( look up brain damage savant skills, our minds unconsciously do immense calculations and the problem is the conscious needing to decide what matters doesn't tap into that for processor triage importance decisions of the unconscious) ability to rationalize and understand. It takes rules that exist in the universe that it has learned via evolution ( like game theory( the golden rule) and pureto distribution( mathew principal) being just facts of life and you don't have to know the why or how for the simple rule to work. when you drop something it falls down, you don't need to know the physics of gravity mathematically) and then tells the processor non faith part of your brain the reslut.

Like in computers they use a bit trick to approximate square roots instead of the heavy processing to calculate them which changed gaming when the method was discovered. So your brain wants to understand the universe and has evloved circuitry for it and you believe in rationalism instead of faith so your rationalism circuits are now fighting against your faith circuits which are being used in your belief in rationalism to try and explain the world to work with it and calculate optimal strategy. So if everything can be understood but you can't handle it then life is a simulation but who is simulating the simulation( recursion) breaks the rationalism trick your faith circuit is sending as a false rationalisation belief.

We didn't evolve alone, as our stories and wisdom that was passed down by our ancestors through the most salient effective form for humans who evolved socially very complex social environments and to compete and survive in them the most salient form isn't rational or reason but social stories. As those stories competed through individual and groups leading those who followed the most true stories that had the most useful wisdom in the most salient form they evolved and variants of them evolved alongside our faith circuits. The way we evolved tool using and making instincts that activate with our hands our faith circuit has evolved alongside external material that gives it reference points for reality, in you this circuit is using the limited conscious mathematic discoveries of non corporeal rules like the golden rule ( game theory) and pureto distribution( mathew principal) which is inferior in salience to communicate the abstract wisdom to the form of social human processing and understanding while also being inferior in completeness.

Reality has all rules and our evolution process has evolved for all the rules in our minds and stories evolution. You are using not only a cliffs notes version of the rules but only chapters 1 and 2 of a ten volume set each having at least 30 chapters. The leap of faith is to realize that our minds and reality is a conscious interpretation of the information in the simulation and scientifically last Thursdayism ( the universe including everything you remember popped into existence last Thursday) accounts just as well as the complex history to explain the mechanical realities we observe.

You need to activate your faith circuit using the power tools ( religion, religion comes from religio which is the sense of unease one gets at not being in right order with the universe) instead of inventing a stone hammer yourself. change the frame of reference from understanding via reason based thinking to having faith in reason and our evolution and ancestry and the circuit in your brain. decide to believe that the world is more complex than you can understand and that your most effective strategy is to trust in your instincts and in God ( the first progenitive principal from which all other principals proceed. That which gives conscience and which is also known as good and truth and love. Trust in good more than knowing. trust in truth more than reasoning. Truth exists and you need to leap of faith that we evolved to deal with truth not with a conscious understanding of what and why and how of truth. There doesn't have to be a real bog monster for the wisdom of telling kids to stay out of the bog to work to keep them from danger, the short cut works better playing to their fear than trying to epxlain all the little dangers. we can still go into the bog carefully together with the wise adult to explore and avoid the bog monster by his wisdom.).

So the frame shift is to "ok something does exist and it appears created to my human minds capacity to underastand" and truely taking a leap of faith lying to yourself now that the leap is just trying to take advantage of your instincts to their top capacity. You need to actually believe in God for the religious instincts to fully activate and you know that so even though you might not understand God or why or how or what is reasonable or how it is possible you do need to believe for it to fully work. Trancend your desire to understand, you don't need to accept it as literal but it is importan not to Peterston up the gears by trying to kling to your faith in human understanding. you need to accept the universe is too complex for us to understand and for your best chance at the competition as individuals and groups is to accept God and reason. Use the more specific microscope analyzed pure reasoned out absolute truths with the instinctual leap of faith non corporeal truths. There is metaphysical middle ground material that is reasoned out meta truth like 2+2=4 which is real but non corporeal and easy to understand but there is also the evolved leap of faith it evolved alongside our ancestors with our faith circuits to handle the complexity wisdom truths that are knwon through and as stories told to us by God ( the power manifesting itself in the universe) for us to be able to better compete our rivals individual and tribal. God is real, he created the heavens and the earth, et cetera.

On top of this you didn't evolve as just an individual competing with individuals. We compete as groups as well so part of your brain is working on what is best for the group even against yourself as an individual because sometimes what is best for you personally could cull the tribe. some sociopaths I think have unlearned this in their blood because enough of their ancestors have gotten away with parasitism and harming the group by moving constantly evading consequences in the post tribal large civilization society and we have evolved instincts to handle them that others without our civilization complexity have not.

Christ is King. Open the door and come to a more complete reality.
