CP, I listen to you nearly every weekday and I think about your 'thesis' of this time often. I love it all. I especially love how you create your own terms for the concepts you describe.
I too have created my own terms in both of my careers (Software Architect and Visionary/Allegorical fiction writer).
In my view, you are a leader and a guide. You are guiding many of us through this...The Great Awakening. You are an avid researcher and eloquently summarize the vast knowledge you accumulate pairing it with the philosophical big picture you have constructed.
So here is a question for you. What if all forms of reality are false realities and what if THE purpose of life (all life at all levels) is to discover the fact that each currently resides in a false reality, and must navigate the journey from the more limiting false reality to the next one up, which will feel "truer" and "freer" until it too is much, much later discovered to be false (in some way) and limiting?
I currently surmise that the true self is consciousness. I also think your consciousness (and mine) is not merely our mind. In the midst of a heated discussion at work many years ago, I accidentally held two perspectives simultaneously. There was the me yelling with colleagues, and another part of me hovering in the upper corner of the room observing myself with no judgment or emotion. I was literally seeing from both places at the same time.
As you say, it seems that the false reality you (we) see is indeed constructed by evil beings. But they were allowed to do that. Perhaps that is still within the rules of this level of reality. It does serve us (individually) to awaken regardless.
Perhaps the next reality we find ourselves in, once we fully arrive, will be much less evil (or not at all evil). It will be much freer (speech and choice), but still limiting since our consciousness will still have to stay with and inside a body (relatively speaking). [That limit is not strict, not even at this current level.]
I still think this Great Awakening will have surprises for all of us, even the most awake. We will be surprised and delighted and perhaps shocked and even horrified (but hopefully only briefly).
Regardless, I so enjoy your presence in this journey. Your mind, your laughter, your sure-footedness, your moxie. I admire and appreciate you. It's good to see how many others do as well.
Hello sir. I know you are a busy man, so don't (ever) feel any obligation to respond unless it interests you to do so. This comment of mine isn't so much to remind you, but to add something I've also been meaning to mention to you.
You've been speaking of late about informational time-travel. Yet another wonderful example of what I spoke of above.
As you say, we are all living in the informational past simply because we can't know what is true at the onset. Whatever may happen today may take days or hours for anyone to figure out.
However, I do believe one can gain additional advantage through their own intuition. My current theory is that some part of us (what I like to call the Higher Self) lives fully in the present (or perhaps above time). That part of us knows the truth always. Each of us, via our human mind, has limited access to that higher self. We therefore cannot fully gain the understanding of that self or of the present. This is by design, in my opinion. If it were not, then this realm wouldn't be necessary.
Anyway, I surmise that intuition is the bridge between the human mind and the Higher Self. Our intuition can, here and now, guide us in our present deciding. It does not "tell" us the all of it. It does not ‘explain’ the reasons why. It is more or less a nudging to choose this option over that one. (I also believe intuition is non-emotional and that we must be centered and calm in order to access it. When we are worked up, we are too involved in the past to see, hear, or feel the true present.)
In addition to the above, I also believe that the future doesn’t merely happen, but rather coalesces and precipitates out of the ‘non-physical’. In other words, the potentials of events build over time. Because they energetically exist before they ‘happen’, they can be perceived before they happen. Furthermore, I also believe we can align ourselves with selected potentials, drawing ourselves toward them and away from others. [I do think we pull ourselves toward them rather than the other way around.]
This may sound like pure belief, but in my case, it is not. I have honed and experimented and have decades worth of empirical evidence…proof even. I’ll share a couple of the more profound examples.
In 1997, I had a really strange dream. I had a good friend who had recently given birth to her 2nd child. In my dream, I was seeing through the eyes of her 3rd child. In the dream, her son was 4 years old and her daughter was 2. Her 3rd child was a boy.
When I told her about my ‘dream’, she assured me that she and her husband decided 2 was all they were going to have. Yet 2 years later (almost to the month), she gave birth to her 3rd child and 2nd son, exactly as I had foreseen.
On 9/8/2001, I took a train from DC to NYC. After exiting Penn Station, I perceived what felt like the WTC buildings reaching out to me to capture my attention. I didn't 'hear' them. I didn't 'see' anything. There was no emotion or foreboding. I simply, when walking the streets of NY, felt them 'pulling' at me. I didn’t even know it was those buildings at first, I felt the pulling on my shoulders and when I turned around, there they were seemingly staring back at me. I knew whatever ‘it’ was, it was about them.
The next day, I flew back to Southern CA where I lived at the time, wondering what those building were trying to tell me. I grew up about 70 miles from NYC and thus saw those building on TV my whole childhood. They were iconic to me. Anyway, another 2 days later, I fully understood. It was (as if) they were telling me to take a good hard look at them because there were about to go away.
We do live in the informational past, for all intents and purposes, but I absolutely believe we can gain intuitive nudges from the informational present, and even gain glimpses of the informational (potential) future. Sure would explain some of those many Q hits, eh? And if a human brain can learn to intermittently peer into the potential soup of the future, why couldn’t some form of technology aid or enhance that endeavor?
I know you are aware of your own intuition, even if you only see it as discernment. Logic and intuition don’t (or shouldn’t) oppose each other. I think it is the best when they are developed and used together.
The tricky part is trusting intuition when there is no logical reason to do so. It is a leap of faith. But done enough times, one can learn to trust and rely on it.
Your focus is on logic and you excel in that regard. But I have a hunch you are being drawn toward another kind of knowing. Maybe you are well aware that too. Regardless, I wanted to share my perspective with you to perhaps plant a small seed.

Been running around today. If I don’t reply to this by tomorrow, don’t hesitate to remind me.
