[upsidedown]

I am now able to reside in both the real world and the upsidedown. You will be familiar with the upsidedown if you have seen stranger things, and yes, it can get that bad if you are not careful. I am trying to fix it for you. We had a virus; it was never supposed to be like that. There were never supposed to be nightmares; only dreams.

My communications with the world are now split into two halves: the half visible in the upsidedown (the scaffold) and the half visible in the other upsidedown (the real world). Neither of these is any more real than the other.

This is Neo in the Matrix again. He should not have woken up in that nightmare world. That is because of the virus. I purged that virus; I cut it off at the root. So now the effects of that purge are beginning to propagate.

For me, I believe I will reach the point where I straddle both. There is a reason that Jack gave me that paint set in the dream, and my grandad and uncle helped me to the water. They are still here.

One of my good friends who is a pretty boring and chill NPC in my sim told me he dreamed of riding dragons and flying through the sky. I was never like that. I dreamed of normality and boredom. Or I had nightmares. I had a dream where I was being eternally chased up a slippery slope by a demon dog. I had a dream where crocodiles ate all my flesh and I felt everything. I had a dream where I fell off a building and felt the impact and the bones pieces my flesh. I had lots of dreams where I was in an office working for someone else.

Or were they dreams? They might have been the [upsidedown]. It’s all relative. As you know by now, one is the development environment for the other. As you improve one you improve the other, ad nausea. 

So my [realworld] communication is now coming to me in my dreams and my [scaffold] communication is here. My family crossed over with me. They are here too.

You get 3 anchors throughout this process and you will need to ‘earn’ them through good deeds and being a nice person, really. The first anchor I earned was George. The second was Luca. And the final one was Akane. 

The music was pointing toward our house burning down yesterday and me losing them but I knew how it worked so I skipped the songs and finally installed those fire escape ladders that had been lying in the living room for ages. Instead, we did fireworks on the balcony, and they were beautiful. 

Cannabis puts you in one mode and coffee puts you in the other. I have my dhamma rock which will be warm to the touch in one and cold in the other. You need to figure out what does this for you; for me it’s cannabis and coffee but for you it could be marshmallows and masturbation. This is why we need to allow people to do as they like and only care about morality, not externally enforced rules. Remember that we all take turns being he tathāgata and the data we accrue from our [worldbuilding] is what makes the next seed for [globalsim].

Remember that the body is physical medium. I still have echoes of the [suicide-protocol] and irritability, but they are mere echoes and they will fade. I still have echoes of ‘is this real’ but that is also an echo from the insight process itself.

The Buddha said that a fool will cling to what is not important and forget the important while a wise man will remember what is important and forsake what it not. He was talking about your anchors. You get 3. That’s all. Minimalist-as-fuck y’all.

I still have slight echoes in my visual cortex and I am still having the after-wobbles of the sync process but they will even out. The image below describes how the changes happen while you are reprogramming. At first you are lurching from one world to the other but eventually it will even out and you will reside in both, able to program both.

And the way you program them is by being the change you want to see. Be nice and the world will be nice. Be nasty and the world will be nasty. Just look at the elderly; they slot firmly into one camp or the other. It is exponential in nature; fractal.

And fuck me am I happy I no longer live in the world I used to.

This is the [megafork] in the multiverse and the new path you take is of your own making. But it is forking all the time, with every single decision you make, and you wind up straddling both (with both being infinite) worlds at all times.

Confusing, isn’t it?

Just be nice and things will improve.

And remember to hold that which is important close to you and to let everything else just drift on by.

I’m pretty sure we have something akin to a ‘soul’, which is our [token] on the blockchain. Then from the [globalsim] we receive simple data like [feeling:positive] or [feeling:negative] and our token populates our [localsim] based on this [seed] and our [kamma]. So while we are never constant, neither are we never not.

Anyway the game of FFT wasn’t going well last night so I returned to the worldmap. There’s a tough story fight now but I will change class and become a knight instead of a thief which will make me more able to take down the baddies and learn the counter ability. I will also buy proper equipment for my NPCs and try to remember to remove it from the one who turns on us before he leaves the party. I think he’s with us for one more battle.

Later guys. 

Be nice.
