You are not where you believe to be because there is no more than that which is One since it requires more than one to be somewhere. Fortunately, pretending to be where you are not is pretty entertaining.

Even though you know going to jail in a game is not real, you may express despair as expected in your specific culture. In colder countries, this may be done intellectually and, in warmer countries, emotionally. Regardless of your response, there is nothing honest about it. It is something you pretend to be part of – likewise when playing the game of being someone in a world where there seems to be more than one.

You may wonder how to pretend. But you do it, as illustrated by this dialogue from the tv-show The Big Bang Theory:
»When did you guys start feeling grown-up?«
»Honestly, I thought when I got married, I would, but I still kinda feel like I’m pretending.«
If you do not fool yourself into believing you are authentic, you know everything is pretence, like being a parent, teacher or lover as you played out in your head beforehand. When you are aware it is an act, it feels as amusing as seeing the actors in a movie.

If you are tired of pretence and falseness and look for more authenticity, you deceive yourself. Everything experienced is fake because it takes more than One to be aware of something, and there is no more than that which is One.

There are no petrol stations in a game like Monopoly, so it is pretty unrealistic to drive there. Yet it is quite fun pretending to do it. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
Since it takes more than one to feel something, you can only be desperate if you believe in being in a world where there seems to be more than one. However, if you do not believe but pretend to be there, you are indifferent to what you feel, like when you pretend to be someone in a game, where you have fun going up and down without feeling scared of the outcome.

In Monopoly, different colours painted on the same cardboard represent various values. And you are a tiny plastic car that slowly moves from street to street, supposedly far from each other, even though they are coloured squares tightly fitted together. That is done to make understanding where you are and what you have easier. But you are not in Monopoly, and whatever you seem to hold has no value. However, you can pretend to be there if you accept the game’s premise: to take everything from everybody so that you are the only one with something.
Without following this basic rule, you miss the fun. Likewise, when playing the game of more than One. It falls apart if you think we are at one with everybody and should share everything in peace and love, you miss the fun of a world where there seems to be more than one. On the other hand, if you pretend to be someone separated from others, you have fun playing the game while having separation undone because what you pretend to be, you are not.

Playing a game is more fun when following its rules instead of spending time trying to change them into what you consider fairer per socialism or whatnot.

According to traditional Eastern philosophy, the world is an illusion. If so – and if you are real – you cannot be in it – just like within the context of the world, you cannot be in a computer game. But you can pretend to be there.

If you pretend to do something, no one does anything. Therefore, since nothing is achieved, there does not appear to be something to hide the formlessness of oneness. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
You cannot decide to be that which is real because it is that which is One, and it takes more than one to choose something. But you can choose not to be in a world where there seems to be more than one by pretending to be there because you are not where you pretend to be.

If you feel wrong, you can undo it by pretending it because you are not what you pretend to be.

It is impossible to miss something unless you believe there is more than One. That is why this mistake is undone when you pretend to be in a world where there seems to be more than one because where you pretend to be, you are not.

Pretending to be someone per a belief system sets you free from the restricted person you must be according to it. Thus you can pretend to be wild or whatever you enjoy exploring in the game of being someone in a world where there seems to be more than one.

The more you see that a world where there seems to be more than one is make-believe, the more depressed you may feel until it dawns on you that it means you are not there, so you are free to pretend to be what makes you happy.

If you do not believe but pretend to be someone, you do not need others to confirm you are real because you are not what you pretend to be. Hence you are free to enjoy any relationship.

In the same way, as children’s toys symbolise something grown-ups’ world, everything in their world is a symbol of that which is real, namely the formlessness of oneness. Perceived like that, pretending the world is real is not frustrating but entertaining. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
When you believe that biking, driving, and meeting friends are real, you need it to result in something specific to ratify your belief. But if you pretend to be someone biking, driving, meeting friends and whatnot, it is not essential how the experience turns out because all feelings are entertaining when caused by pretence.

You are mistaken if you think you feel anger, love or something else because it takes more than one to feel something, and that which is you is no different from that which is One. No worries. The mistake is easily corrected. If you pretend to be angry, fall in love or whatnot, nobody is feeling it because what you pretend to be, you are not.

Whether you believe in being someone or pretend it, what you appear to be is bound to end. And even if fearing the end is conquered, death is not beaten if you hang onto your belief in being someone. However, pretending to be it, there is nothing to beat because what you pretend to be is not real. Thus nobody is dying.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
The experiences produced by the brain are like tricks made by a magician. Nothing is what it seems to be. For example, when you appear to die, only the belief in being someone ends. Therefore, if you do not believe but pretend to be someone, you do not die because you are not what you pretend to be.

There is no life in a virtual world – only in the one perceiving it. So what is perceived as coming from the virtual world is make-believe. The graphic is grabbed from the web.
Since a computer’s hard disk consists of nothing but zeros and ones, it is unaware that an app has made them look like a world with definable objects on the screen on top of the hard disk. Nevertheless, the computer senses something is off. So it sends out an echo of itself into nowhere to make you forget to see a world somewhere.
Likewise, oneness sends out an echo that sounds a bit like the sound of AUM or Sohang. When you keep hearing it, you forget to see a definable world, wherefore nothing seems to the formlessness of oneness.
In the computer metaphor, the app is the brain, which renders experiences of something from nothing, and the computer is the formlessness of oneness.
The wise one may ask who has installed the app. The answer is nobody, as it requires more than One to do something, and there is no more than that which is One. That is what you realise when you constantly pretend to be in a world where there seems to be more than one because where you pretend to be, you are not. In other words, all you have to do to hack the belief in being someone encapsulated by time and space is to pretend it.
Read the article Life has no secrets if you want to learn how to hear or feel the vibration symbolised by AUM and Sohang.

Alexius is not a non-teacher of the Enlightenment of that which is One. He pretends it because being someone requires more than one, and there is no more than that which is One. In other words, Alexius is not authentic, spiritual, truthful, or full of compassion and love. He is nothing pretending to be something. Photo © Alexius Jorgensen.
Nobody uses empty space as a zero fill and pretends to be somebody in it. For example, Alexius pretends to be a non-teacher and a non-student. But he has pretended many other things. Here you can see what Alexius has pretended to be.

When you see and/or feel the body, it is similar to experiencing a dimensional world in a movie on a flat-screen. The body is not substantial but empty space that the brain, like a magician, conjures into something from nothing to make a glamorous show where there seems to be a substantial being in a material world.*
Believing to be someone in this show is just as foolish as, within the context of it, assuming you are someone in a dream. It is impossible. The dream is insubstantial, and you are substantial. Likewise, since that which is you is formless, you are not a substantial being in a tangible world. It is something you pretend to be entertained by the brain’s magic show.
