The Reality Prison - All The Things We Don’t Know

(This story is an adaptation of Plato's Allegory of the Cave) In a distant future, on a distant planet, a group of prisoners find themselves deceived since birth, contained inside a dome-shaped simulated reality, many layers removed from truth.

This reminds me of the quote, "The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison."
– Fyodor Dostoevsky.

"Its easy to deceive. It's hard to show someone that they've been deceived."

The mind is the hardest jail there is, because you are the judge who put yourself there, the cop who keeps you there, and the prisoner who is trapped. But you are also the one who has the key to your cell, and only you can let yourself out.

"Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind I tell you. In fact, when others seem to be bothering you, it isn't others, it's your own mind."

[TakeBackYourMind]

This beautifully illustrates why we should be humble in our beliefs about reality. There's a lot we know, but a lot we don't, and we should be open to change. People identify with their beliefs and as a result, hold onto them so tightly they miss the real beauty of reality. Truth is always better than fiction.

Plato's Cave allegory is timeless. Unfortunately, so are the caves we're in, as it appears.

"They know that as long as the prisoners believe they've escaped, they'll remain imprisoned"

I'm speechless.

“You are in prison. If you wish to get out of prison, the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison. If you think you are free, you can't escape.” ― G.I. Gurdjieff

These videos help me calm my anxiety, like the universe is so profound and large. Everything you are overthinking right now does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

It's just a game, but we are so involved in the game that we have forgotten it's just a game.

It pains me how immensely underrated your videos are.

"To understand a complete truth, one must not merely possess the knowledge of it but also the experience of it."

Sublime.
