First, in the grand scheme of things, we are here for just a short amount of time. In that time, I want to have a positive influence on those around me, and do so in a way that empowers my children and their children to do the same. Second, the idea of a "programmed" or Matrix type of universe is a fascinating topic to contemplate. |

Second, the idea of a "programmed" or Matrix type of universe is a fascinating topic to contemplate. Nice. Yes, in the scheme of all, our time as we are now, is extraordinarily short. Matrix type universes are also fun and there will be many more of them out in our universe shortly, due to technology and what not. |

The simulation idea has always been a neat one. Some philosophy classes I have taken have spent a lot of time and gone into the subject with great detail. ET engineering or "Intelligent Design" is also a great topic, I for one believe in intelligent design but not like christians and many other theologies do. Also, the idea that we are here to grow spiritually I think is for some, but not all. I think we do not all have the same reason, purpose, etc for being here and now. But yes, I do believe in quantum physics, some of the theory of everything etc. There are many dimensions and universes and some universes have many different dimensions. |

One person can make a difference. At times it may seem like it was not one person, but ultimately it was. One person started something then others joined etc. Or maybe just one person found, accomplished or did something. Even if they do not know what it is, possibly for their entire life, they may have done great things and not know or realize the value of it yet, or ever. |
