An Illusory Life.

Most people think of time as a constant. A tyrant we all must obey. We only have so much of it and we must not squander it. Therefore, we live in a constant state of background anxiety. We slowly watch the count of our days wind down. We find temporary relief from this anxious state by using mind-numbing substances. These drugs temporarily mask the fear of the always present grim reaper stalking us.

But is time real? Is death real? Or are they only illusions that appear real from a certain perspective? That perspective being low vibration consciousness. Today we examine the illusory nature of physical life.

A few years back, I signed up to play paintball at a huge facility in Los Angeles. It was designed to look like several blocks of a bombed-out city. Having never been in the military, my idea was that it would just be all fun and games. For my first experience I was grouped with about 20 strangers (and one friend) in a “last man standing” scenario. In other words, each person would hunt the others through the tangled rubble until there was only one survivor.

As it turns out, I had a natural talent for this sort of thing. I grew up in a hunting culture in the State of Wisconsin. I was familiar with guns and stalking prey. As the game began, it was amazing how quickly my consciousness lowered into survival mode. The game was being played with non-lethal ammunition. However, the longer I hunted others (and was simultaneously hunted myself) the more real the experience felt. In my mind it was kill or be killed. I was crawling, running, dodging and shooting as I desperately ran from one place of cover to another. Several times I narrowly avoiding being shot and this increased my belief that my life really did depend on my ability to “kill” the others before they “killed” me!

By moving quickly in and out of cover, I was able to draw the fire of other players. This caused them to reveal their hiding places. Once they did this, I could expect that several other players would target them. Then I would target the other players who had also revealed their positions. In time, each of the other players was taken out. All except myself and one other who was playing the same strategy as me. He was really good and moved really fast. It was all I could do to avoid his fire. I was constantly focused on outwitting my crafty opponent, never knowing when or where he would pop out from to shoot at me. The stress put me into survival mode completely, my whole world had shrunk. I was only aware of this battle field and the drama I was caught up in. I can’t express enough how real it felt to me.

I became so immersed in the drama, that for these moments I truly believed an illusory world was real. In addition to this, time slowed way down in my perception. It felt to me like we, the last two survivors in a dystopian nightmare, were hunting each other for hours. In actuality, it was only about twenty minutes.

Finally in one crazy, desperate and seemingly simultaneous decision we both jumped from our place of cover. We ran toward each other firing our weapons repeatedly as we closed the distance! As time moved in slow motion, I was aware multiple paint balls were crossing paths in the air. Simultaneously as I saw mine splatter on my opponent, I felt the painful sting of his hitting me. I’m not sure how it happened, but suddenly he was on the ground in front of me. My adrenaline was in control and I couldn’t stop firing point-blank paint balls at him! The game referee rushed over, grabbed my rifle while yelling harshly at me to stop! Gradually my senses returned and I remembered it was just a game. I’m so lucky my opponent was a good sport and understood I had become lost in the illusion. The referee decided to give my opponent the win. We shook hands and congratulated each other on a game played well.

Which brings me to the point of this story. The longer I live in this physical experience, the more convinced I am that it’s just like the paint ball park. It’s an illusory playing field we chose to participate in to enact dramas and experience certain situations. These dramas increase our empathy and understanding for the expansion of our consciousness. I also believe that once the game is over our perspective about the whole thing changes and we find appreciation for the experience.

Another observation is that the more we’re in survival mode and fear, (aka low vibration) the more real and important the Earth game feels to us. We react as if nothing exists outside or beyond the physical scenario we’re engaged in. Preservation of the ego predominates our thoughts and very little regard for the welfare of others is demonstrated. This is how the low vibration matrix of the Earth sustains itself. By making sure the people have no ability to give their time and attention to higher consciousness thoughts and activities. It constantly puts the majority of the population into survival mode to accomplish this.

The fear and anxiety of the countdown to death’s doorway can be defeated. This happens when we expand our consciousness (and raise our vibration). When we recognize the temporary and illusory nature of our physical existence (and the magnificence of our eternal, spiritual reality). Now we are free to learn and love without stress. Our lives become enjoyable play as we realize it’s all about experiences that expand us. It’s also about challenges we (perhaps naively) signed up for. We can even come to appreciate and look forward to the curtain falling on our current drama. We understand that rest and renewal awaits in the spiritual interlude. Then one day, when we’re ready, we may incarnate again to have new adventures in the physical illusion!

My latest book proposes alternative views on human history, extraterrestrial involvement, and societal manipulation. We explore ancient civilizations, discovering lost technologies and hidden truths about humanity’s past and future potential. My research suggests that remnants of advanced technologies exist worldwide and challenges the accepted historical narrative that minimizes our connection to these civilizations.

This book advocates for expanded consciousness and challenges societal norms imposed by a controlling elite. I also include over 250 full color images. I dare say, anyone who reads it with an open mind will have their beliefs about ancient and contemporary history challenged! This is not only a book about manipulated history, but also about how our beliefs shape our current reality.

Thank you in advance for supporting the cause of full disclosure! – Daniel


And finally, for Children of all ages, I wrote a book that teaches in a fun and humorous way the concepts of being curious, open-minded and a critical thinker.

Finnegan is a fish in the Great Wide Ocean who goes on a journey to see all he can of his watery world. He encounters many colorful characters along the way. Then he has an encounter that causes him to question the things he’s been taught in school. He and his Angelfish friend Gabby begin to explore the idea that there may be more to the world than the wet one they live in.

Many full color illustrations to captivate your youngster’s imagination. Takes approximately 10 minutes for an adult to read. Great for those bedtime stories!
