Wonderful podcast

For me simulation acts like a trap. I lose awareness for one moment and boom - I am lost for months.

It is very clever and sucks in, while pushing the consciousness out. If I have some desire or hope, or fear, or go into density to experience something, it is configured to hook me on these and then one day I wake up and feel like I have been blinded and polluted, go through purification again and wondering how on earth did this happen.

How does one make sure to not get lost in it?

In Kabbalah they say that before enlightenment you don't have much choice and freedom, but the one to choose your environment that is going to influence you. So after trying to walk on my own and getting lost again and again, maybe it is time to make some choices. Maybe getting lost in the simulation serves the soul in some way - it generates dense experiences and acts like a training program, but eventually, at some point the soul is looking for liberation and realness.

So liberation from the Matrix does require continuous choice-making, constant awareness and a supportive environment. It's like "choosing the pill" every moment, otherwise it swallows in a sec.
