The Simulation Hypothesis

2. This is very mystical. Buddhists, I think, say that this reality is not reality. Some early

Christian thinkers maintained that Jesus merely seemed to be. In my system, there are different levels of reality, but existing in the present.

There was one experiment with "prayer." I'm not sure I can remember the details. We know thoughts produce physical results, in the case of positive thoughts showing a beneficial effect on a group so treated versus a group not exposed to positivity. Someone wanted to see if positivity could work backwards. Files of past patients were gathered and divided. Half were sent positive thoughts, the other half ignored. When the outcomes of the patients were reviewed, the positivity group's results were better than the other group's, even though all the cases were closed.

Hardly a study which could withstand scientific standards, it does make one wonder if the past is settled.
