Numerology and Virtual Reality

You are probably living in a virtual reality!

One of my favorite movies is the Matrix which posits that Neo, the hero is living in a virtual
reality without realizing this fact. I would like to playfully propose we are in fact living in a
virtual reality and this is why numerology works. Let me try to convince you or at least
disturb you. There is one planet Earth but there are thousands and thousands of video
games. In another 20-50 years those video games will be replaced by superior virtual
technology and we will have thousands and thousands of virtual realities instead. I think a
civilization that creates virtual technology would also last a very long time unlike our current
civilization.
As a Buddhist I think the fundamental problem of human existence is suffering ultimately
caused by desire. This idea is encapsulated in the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. As a
modern Buddhist I think the fundamental problem of technological civilizations is
environmental degradation and war with weapons of mass destruction that follows from
uncontrolled desire. Humans can learn to control desire or have all their desires met a
million times more cheaply and more effectively via virtual reality technology. The second
solution to the problem of human existence seems more realistic given human
history. Civilizations that achieve virtual reality avoid the problems of war and
environmental destruction and last for thousands and thousands of years and create millions
upon millions of virtual realities. So from a purely logical point of view you are probably
living in a virtual reality and that is why the Matrix is so disturbing. The premise of the
Matrix is probably true.
Our parent reality could also be a virtual reality since there is no reason a virtual reality could
not in turn create another virtual reality. If our parent reality is a virtual reality and we create
a virtual reality then the virtual reality we create would be a third generation reality or
V3. This means millions of virtual realties on one planet could in turn create millions of
virtual realities. One actual reality could turn out billions of virtual realities!
A Virtual Reality Would be More Numerological than a Non-Virtual Reality
Numerology is generally defined as a system, belief or tradition that emphasizes an esoteric
relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things. I propose a virtual
reality would be more numerological than a non-virtual reality. Programmers in our reality
use modules and the programmers of our reality probably do the same. These modules mean

there are many numerical patterns that are repeated again and again. A non-virtual reality
would lack these modules and therefore these numerical patterns.
What would be really useful would be the cheat codes of a virtual reality. Cheat codes in
video games are a key sequence, password, or series of steps that will provide the player
some object, ability or access to a level or location. In a virtual reality this could be any
combination of words and/or actions. Magic can be seen as an attempt to find those cheat
codes without an understanding of the virtual reality situation those codes apply to. Cheat
codes in video games are often eliminated when a video game is upgraded and perhaps this is
what happened to some of the cheat codes that worked for mages and sages of the past in our
virtual reality.
Designers of virtual realities might also employ numbers for symbolic and/or book marking
purposes and this would apply to a virtual reality and not to a non-virtual reality. However,
virtual realities probably fall into a continuum of two general categories just like video
games.
What Type of Virtual Reality Do We Live in?
Some video games have as their main purpose to entertain and some video games have as
their main purpose to educate and/or act as a simulation. Our reality is not very
entertaining. I propose we are in some sort of historical simulation for the purposes of
education. School children of a civilization that is hundreds of years more advanced than our
own learn by watching us screw up. I propose the purpose of our reality is to act as a
simulation to teach the children the follies of 21st century type civilizations and not to repeat
the mistakes of the past.
This means numbers are used more as book marks in our virtual reality rather than as
symbols as would be the case in an entertainment virtual reality. The programmers use
certain numbers to let the little children watching our reality know that something important
is about to happen and that they should pay attention. From our point of view these numbers
are omens. Visions of heaven may be visions of the fun virtual realities that have an
entertainment value. Perhaps visions of hell are glimpses of virtual reality prisons used by the
inhabitants of our parent reality to punish wrongdoers.
Many spiritual views posit a hierarchy of realities. Heaven stands above Earth. Perhaps
some individual perceive the reality from which we are created, our parent reality, and call
that reality heaven. Platos Theory of Forms suggests another abstract reality that is more
real than our reality. Perhaps Plato perceived something akin to the machine code of
our reality and used the concepts available to create his theory.
The Golden Ratio
The reason one observes the golden ratio over and over again in nature is because this is a
handy tool for the creators of our virtual reality! The original reality did not show this
numerical pattern in nature. The golden ratio is an irrational number that never terminates or
repeats or repeats and is uncountable. The creators of our reality could not use a golden ratio
calculated to infinity since this is impossible.

The golden ratio used to create our reality has been calculated to some incredible degree of
digits by the creators of our virtual reality but sooner or later we will create a computer that
calculates the golden ratio to an even greater number of digits and when this happens this will
cause an insoluble contradiction in the program that underpins our reality and our reality will
literally dissolve. All forms in nature dependent on the golden ratio will be the first to go
and as they are erased then so wills the rest of reality. We are not real brains connected to
a virtual reality as is the case, in the movie, The Matrix, that will awaken, instead we are
purely program constructs and when the program goes we go!
Astrology
Astrology may be the filing system the makers of our virtual reality use to get a nice mix of
physical and psychological types. Perhaps Western Astrology is used for the Western part of
the program and Chinese Astrology is used for the Asian part of the program.
Perhaps this is the origin of the significance of 666. At some point in our future a tyrannical
world government will recognize the true nature of our reality and ban social and intellectual
conditions that allow the creation of a golden ratio that will destroy our reality. 666 is a
rational number and as such the opposite of an irrational number. The rapture may refer to
some humans that are uploaded to a new virtual reality that has been created as a backup for
this virtual reality. The inhabitants of this virtual reality will have total understanding of the
actual nature of their reality and operate in a way that is alien to us.
The following appeared in Avengers A.I. #4 about three years after I first posted this article:

The illustration refers to the The Golden Knot. Is this some reference to the golden mean as
a means to destroy our virtual reality? The truth is slowing entering the mass consciousness!
Code Reuse
If we are in fact programs in a virtual reality then we may be products of code reuse.
Obviously human beings are some type of heuristic program. Some types of heuristic
programs may be more data dependent in order to function effectively. This means the
programmers are willing to let the heuristic program have some data that is interpreted as
memories from prior lives i.e. reincarnation.
Older reused codes also become more complex and develop a nice little survival trick via trial
and error. Those who develop this ability survive and those who cannot develop this ability
do not survive. Old codes deal with the virtual reality at a deeper level than newer codes.
So called "old souls" can more or less predict the future. These individuals are more able to
predict how the virtual reality is going to work because they can access the machine code
and/or assembly language part of the program before the high-level programming language,
which is what we perceive as physical reality, goes into effect. Our virtual reality is so
gigantic that the lag time between the lower order part of the program and the higher order
part of the program is perceived as days, week and even years by us. Something sensed in
the virtual realities equivalent of the machine code may take years to happen and the machine
code version of our reality is really hard to understand. Something that is happening in the
assembly language part of the program is a lot easier to understand and happens weeks and
months later. People who can understand the machine code of our virtual reality are
generally in bad shape when it comes to day to day living. This sort of person can judge a
superlative horse but maybe not even know the color of the horse they are judging!

This may work out for some but all in all this is not a good place to be if you want little
things like keep a job and food on the table. There is another category of person that focuses
on the assembly part of the program and can see things a few days or week ahead of time and
maybe is smart enough not to push their abilities too far in order to keep their sanity.
