“Simulacrum: Are We Heading into The Matrix?
[Submitted by Brenda]
PATRICK WOOD OCTOBER 17, 2023
Simulacrum is slaughtered in the English language, likely because it most succinctly describes what is happening to mankind. Large swaths of humans have already completely fallen into it; more will follow. As they detach themselves from reality, they lose all perception about what is real and what is not real.
Indeed, they are incapable of it. This was the main point of the movie, The Matrix. If you have never done this, you should see for yourself how society is depicted. And not incidentally, the huge role that AI played. ⁃ TN Editor
Few people truly experienced the passage from modernity into post-modernity (1970- 2023). Incremental changes in how we view reality obscured the journey and left many with empty-headed thoughts of “Wherever you go, there you are.”
However, there were those who carefully watched the parade go by and left behind plenty of history and analysis for us to examine, like evangelical Christian philosopher Francis Shaffer (How Should We Then Live: The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture, 1976), futurist Alvin Toffler (Future Shock, 1971), and French philosopher Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra and Simulation, 1981).
In my previous essay, Reality Is Escaping Out The Back Door, I introduced Baudrillard’s concept of simulation and simulacra and posed the statement, “The Total Collapse Of Reality Could Be At Hand.”
Why? Among other things, AI development is advancing at a geometric rate, potentially doubling every 12 to 18 months, threatening to displace what is left of reality with a simulacrum. Baudrillard demonstrated this progression from reality to anti-reality:
Whereas representation attempts to absorb simulation by interpreting it as a false representation, simulation envelops the whole edifice of representation itself as a simulacrum. Such would be the successive phases of the image:
— it is the reflection of a profound reality;
— it masks and denatures a profound reality;
— it masks the absence of a profound reality;
— it has no relation to any reality whatsoever;
— it is its own pure simulacrum.

Douglas Hall’s world is Heaven (Gen. 1:1, Fig 1, Christ Jesus - F+S+HS). The 13th Floor World is Earth (Gen. 1:1, Heavens-Heaven-Earth). The place Doug finds himself at the end of the movie is in God’s Infinite Realm where you are gods (Ps. 82:6, Jn 10:34-36) and we all know each other intimately (members-parts of one another, Romans 12:4-5) like husbands and wives. The writer of the article above makes a profound statement:
The Matrix
Millions saw the 1999 film The Matrix, a cyber-punk, science fiction film that rocked the world. Even today, people will exclaim, “We are living in the matrix,” while not having a clue about what they are talking about.
Amen, and that includes the writer of those words. The entire universe is an Earth Matrix contained inside a Heaven Matrix (my emphasis):
15 [x]He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: 16 for [y]by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [z]is before all things, and in Him all things [aa]hold together. Colossians 1:15-17.
Look intently into the diagram above to realize He (Christ Jesus = F+S+HS) is the image (spirit, blood, water) of the Invisible God (God to Come, God Who Is, God Who Was), as Both have the “image of a man” with a spirit, soul, and body. The Word incarnate (Heaven = Christ Jesus) is the firstborn (Heaven) of all Creation (Earth, see John 3:31 to see John the Baptist (Earth) testifying about Christ (Heaven) who is “above all”). By God’s Word (Christ) all things (see John 1:1-3, Earth = all things) were created through Him and for Him.
He (Christ, God’s Word, Heaven in red) is before all things (This Creation, Heavens-Heaven-Earth in blue) “and” in Him all things hold together. Here is a look at the bigger picture from The Mystery Explained:
Stop for one moment to consider that almost nothing is as it seems. For those wanting more:
Jesus Christ is Lord and God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Our redemption is “in” Christ and our forgiveness is through His shed blood. Obedience to the gospel and the “faith to faith” transaction between the preacher (that’s me in this case) and the believer (that’s you if you believe) sees the Holy Spirit handing you the “faith of Jesus” begotten (blood witness, like heaven of Gen. 1:1, and Son from Luke 1:35) as the “soul” (Fig 1) between the Spirit of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit of Promise entering your soul (Temple) as a High Priest to become your “one Mediator” (1Tim 2:5) between God and men. The new inner man takes up residence within your soul for the Father to be one with your spirit, the Son to be one with your soul, and the Holy Spirit to unite and become one with your physical mortal body. God then takes up residence “in” His Son “in” you to begin reconciling the world to Himself. 2Cor. 5:16-21 (19).
Your access to the almost-infinite Heaven Realm is through the tether that connects your soul to that Heaven Realm and all your brethren in Christ Jesus. Your access to God’s Infinite Realm is through Christ in you (Col. 1:27) and God incarnate in Him that finds your tether to your infinite self and all of your infinite-realm brethren. Great stuff.
