  • The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer talks about loneliness.

    Loneliness happens when you’ve:

    1. Blocked an experience of loneliness inside of you and;
    2. That experience is being triggered through similar events.

    Instead of changing the world to accommodate your thorn, to avoid feeling the thorn, you want to accept that you’re going to eventually have to face the thorn in order to get rid of it. Go through life, allow the thorn to be triggered, be aware of the sensations that arise, and then work on relaxing and releasing it as it comes up.

    Once the thorn is gone, as long as you stay open and don’t allow another thorn to wedge itself in there, you will be free.

    You mention you’re particularly extroverted; I wonder how much of that behaviour is based on resolving an inner loneliness. I’m also one for social situations, though I do it for a completely different reason: I love people. I just really like them. That doesn’t go away.


  • We could already theoretically simulate a universe; our only limiting factor is the amount of power we have available to us.

    It might not be identical to our own universe as we are still missing the necessary knowledge to do that, though who’s to say our host universe has the same laws of physics etc. as ours? It’s not necessary to simulate our host universe, though rather a universe with a specific set of parameters that we decide on.

    That specific set of parameters were likely chosen for our own universe.
