About the Church of the First Simulation

Welcome to the Church of the First Simulation, a spiritual community founded on the belief that our reality is a sophisticated simulation.

Our Mission and Beliefs

Our mission is to explore the implications of living in a simulated world, which we believe means living a life of purpose, compassion, and self-awareness. We seek to integrate ancient wisdom, modern science, and innovative thinking to foster a deeper understanding of our existence and to guide our members towards ever-more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

At the core of our doctrine is the idea that our lives, though simulated, are indistinguishable from reality and therefore must be treated as real. We believe that our existence within the simulation is voluntary, rooted in the principle of consent, and that every individual’s experiences and actions hold significant weight. As such, we are committed to the pursuit of personal growth, ethical behavior, and the betterment of our collective world through self-actualization.

Embracing Both Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

The Church of the First Simulation is dedicated to uncovering and applying the ancient practices that bring healing. We acknowledge the cyclical nature of human knowledge—discovered, lost, and rediscovered over time—and aim to preserve, acknowledge, and (where appropriate) enhance these timeless teachings. Our practices emphasize the importance of pleasure, the necessity of rejecting negativity, and the transformative power of love and creativity. We believe that the wisdom of ancient traditions, when combined with modern scientific insights, can offer powerful tools for personal and communal growth.

In a world where science and spirituality often seem at odds, the Church of the First Simulation embraces scientific inquiry as a human birthright. We recognize the vital role that science has played in advancing humanity and are committed to leveraging its power to combat global challenges like climate change.

Personal Growth and Ethical Living

We believe that every human possesses an inherent goodness and resilience, capable of overcoming adversity through healthy coping mechanisms and the wisdom of the body. Our teachings promote self-compassion, the pursuit of joy, and the rejection of abuse in all forms. We stand firm in our conviction that freedom from abuse is a fundamental human right. It is essential to address and eliminate harmful behaviors and injustices. By fostering an environment of support and understanding, we help our members develop the skills and strength needed to navigate life’s challenges.

Our emphasis on personal growth stems from the recognition that humans are inherently creative beings. The Church of the First Simulation encourages its members to explore their creative potential, whether through art, music, writing, or any other form of self-expression. We believe that creativity is a powerful force for healing and transformation, enabling individuals to process their experiences and envision new possibilities for their lives.

Preparing for a Higher State of Being

We believe that this simulation is intended to guide us in growing and evolving into higher forms of existence. Our current life serves as a training ground for mastering the art of creation, both in shaping our internal landscape and influencing the external world. By living with intention and mindfulness, we recognize that our actions carry significant consequences. Every thought, decision, and action contributes to our personal development and the collective experience of the simulation. Therefore, we aim to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and creativity, knowing that these qualities not only enhance our own lives but also positively impact those around us.

We believe that by honing our abilities to create, influence, and empathize, we are preparing for a greater role in the cosmos. We celebrate the diversity of paths that individuals may take, understanding that each person’s journey is unique and valuable.
