I’ve noticed that evil people love to misuse the idea of us living in an “illusion” (e.g., misogynists and "escaping the matrix"; a trillionaire stating that we "live in a simulation"; tech companies that have monopolized our time and desires putting forth spaces like the "metaverse").
It's not a coincidence when individuals or groups with an interest in demoralizing us appropriate spiritual language to paint the human experience as being fake. This framing is part of a larger attempt to dim our reality so that it can be more easily replaced with their own. The irony is that when the mystics who they adopt this language from state that “life is an illusion”, it’s emphasizing the outer-world's ability to influence our inner identity, attention, and perception. This understanding should draw us deeper into Love and the human experience, not further into isolation and darkness (like malicious people suggest), because embracing life is how we become grounded in our own truth.
Predestination is a beautiful concept through the lens of Love. Love awakens us to the infinite potentiality of destiny—that something better may be possible. And unlike simulations, destiny holds enough depth for imagination, faith, and the dream because it is also designed to leave space for uncertainty. The centering of our hearts is where experiences of uncertainty and darkness become portals for “openness”.
"Simulation" is cyclic, dark, narrow, defeated, and imposed on us by others....Destiny is expansion into ourselves!
