I came across this great interview with Tom Campbell.
According to Tom, this reality is a simulation and is an entropy reduction trainer for different units of consciousness. We have a mission or purpose for being here which is to increase the quality of our own consciousness.
The objective of being in the simulation is to evolve through spiritual growth through the choices we make whilst we are plugged into this simulation.
Our mission is to be kind and to care about other people. By doing this, our life can get happier and full of joy amidst the greed and control that exists in the physical virtual reality.
Individuals who make self centered and fearful choices will experience struggle and have negative emotions and will struggle with life. Those that live their lives without fear and ego, will experience a different positive reality.
Here is the interview between Korina Lymnioudi and Tom Campbell: Manifestation and Higher Self below.
