Reality metaphors
by Jon Rappoport

Many ways to capsulize a description of reality: self-replicating virus; space/time continuum; universe; code inscribed on two-dimensional surface; facade; simulation; solidified thought-form; labyrinth.
I use “machine” when I want to emphasize interlocking parts. Each part confers legit status to all other parts. Thereby implying prison.
Legit status is vital to the whole notion. If that were rejected, the whole shootin’ match would take on a very different coloration.
Bring these two elements into collaboration: the illusion of permanence, and the reduction of power to directly eradicate any of the trillion trillion trillion objects of reality. Then you have something. Sing-sing. Alcatraz.
Reduction of power is the key.
This is accomplished through self-censoring, when all is said and done.
“I can’t make the glass water on the table disappear.”
But suppose you can and have.
Suppose every particle in the universe was built with instant self-replicating duties. You look at the glass, decide to make it vanish, and it does—but every particle of the glass and the water repeats itself. So it’s there again, before you notice it was gone.
How many replications can the glass undergo before it gives up?
An infinite number?
Unlikely, if this reality was designed. How do you build infinite replication into a finite operation?
The glass says, “I can rebuild myself five million times. You would have to make me vanish five million plus one times. Can you handle that?”
You say no. The glass smugly smiles.
How do you get around that?
First, you recognize that this reality was invented as a design structure, a mechanical work of art. Second, you invent other realities with such profusion that you become aware of having that power.
This was the objective of the early Tibetan exercise called “deity visualization.” See John Blofeld, The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet.
Comprehending the creative power you have is also the objective of my collection, Exit From The Matrix, which contains dozens of imagination exercises.
Think of a new building built on an empty lot. Do you say the building carved up and partitioned already existing space, or it established new spaces that weren’t there before?
The rationalist would say the former. The artist might say the latter.
There is certainly a predisposition to consider space is forever, permanent, unchanging. That’s a conviction. As in “convict.”
All exercises are, in one sense or another, creative. Here’s one. Look at a tree. See what you see. Now sit down and lean against the tree and close your eyes. Do whatever you do to merge with the tree. Do it for fifteen minutes. Now open your eyes, stand up, back away, and look at the tree again. Has your perception of it changed? I think you’ll find it has. Many people would say their perception of the tree has become clearer.
The rationalist would say perception seems to be clearer because you’ve been focusing your attention on the tree during the exercise. Others would say, “No, my perception has actually improved. My eyesight has briefly improved.”
The subjective and the objective aren’t two distinctly different never-to-meet entities. One can influence the other.

You look at the glass, decide to make it vanish, and it does but every particle of the glass and the water repeats itself. So it’s there again, before you notice it was gone.
There is no spoon/glass (Matrix of course-)
How many replications can the glass undergo before it gives up?
interesting perspective and no making the glass disappear after 5 million tries feels like extreme fatigue-)
this reality was invented as a design structure, a mechanical work of art. Second, you invent other realities with such profusion that you become aware of having that power.
I have long believed the above to be true and have experienced many different perspectives/realities within this structure however no matter those experiences I have to concede that these experiences are probably many facets of the same structure and my desire has always been to escape this prison/reality forever but without truly knowing/understanding what and where the real is it makes it difficult to judge especially when everything appears to be a fraud and our very being and senses can be fooled at the deepest of levels even when trying hard not to allow this to happen.
Are you saying that once we have learned to own our personal power enough to create our own reality then we escape the prison? As from my own experiences (I cannot speak for others) this is not what happens but I would dearly love it to be correct.
Love the name!
at last….a chance to get some of the comments your email service elicits out of my head and into a dialogue….(!)
I believe that we live in a world of energy fields and that if we would know how to use them, we could do levitation, for instance.
There is also the fact that all things are composed of multiple atoms that sort of stick together ( by attraction, I believe) , so if atoms attract each other, they could also reject each other in a different energy field.
Why not?
What I am saying might sound crazy, I don’t really know how to explain it clearly, but I am sure if someone really focus on this idea, we could do many things that seems impossible to this day.
You are using there science to describe your imaginings.
What if there is no atomic structures.
Look at the sun…gargantuan EMF fields create prominence that reach millions of miles out into space.
What if intense EMF’s can create the illusion of matter.
How many have seen an atom?
I don’t know, like I’ve said on an other article, I’m no scientist.
But on the site below, people show images of atoms:
Do atoms exist?

A psychiatrist that interviewed me for a disorder once… claimed I was living in my own world. I took this as a compliment.
I wouldn’t see myself as a mainstream skeptic…its more of a defiance. If you boil matter down into its smallest…it is an itsy bitsy, little pile of bullshit.
Terrific idea to have this blog to explore the more esoteric & (perhaps) profound.
For many of us, exploring such topics is a challenge when it’s mixed in with the day-to-day ‘practical’ events in the day’s news.
I’ve also run into too many New Age-y types with their heads in the clouds. Call them the ‘just visualize it and it’ll happen’ types. But, of course, that is no reason to reject exploration of these subjects. The samurai warriors of feudal Japan thought about the essence of reality. By no stretch of the imagination, could they be catergorized as impractical men.
