@GJM have you read or come across the followings? Neale Donal Walsch's "conversation with God", Deepak Chopra's thougts about quantum body and health, Etienne Klein about time, or ancient scriptures from India? I am exploring this at the moment and somehow feeling how all of this is related... I would like your thoughts on some of this if any. For the context in short: I was raised as catholic, found it hypocritical but had some mystical experiences convincing me of the reality of "God", left religion and put spirituality aside, got a kid, put spirituality in the center. So far pleased to have found and read about your own investigations!

Hello! Although I have heard a couple of those names I have only read Chopra’s Metahuman. I will do some research on the others. My current focus is on a couple of the interpretations of quantum mechanics/physics and the simulation hypothesis. I have had experiences that seem best explained from those perspectives. My short context: I was a pastor and did my degree work in theology and youth work. Via working in and around a small cross section of organised Christian communities, continued personal study and encounters with phenomena that are not explained satisfactorily via biblical perspectives, left that work to focus on a different approach to my investigation of what is probably best referred to as the mystical experience.

I discover right now the formulation of the simulation hypothesis. I met it before in movies, books and philosophy but never went further. It relates to the general idea that our reality is an illusion, or at least a very narrow perception of a bigger reality... I think you would like the Conversations with God books as they give another perspective on this idea: life as a simulation by God for God, to have the experiences of God (very simplified summary).
