The Mentality Training Sim

[Laird]

I got full on spirited away for months at a time.

By the time of our world too? I mean, were you (in our world) lying in bed asleep or unconscious/unresponsive for months during this experience?

I feel pretty weird doing it

Don't let that bother you. According to many, this forum itself is weird just because of the topics it discusses. So, you're in a weird environment already: push the limits of weirdness, dude.

Best as I can tell from a combination of research here and past life stuff things might work on a layered inheritance model going from incredibly vague to incredibly specific.

Sounds a bit like object-oriented programming, and then combined with your later comment that “Magic could be said to be a form of hacking, where you inject "code" into the underlying reality to get a compatible effect a different way” it sounds very much like we're talking about something like virtual realities running on some kind of (programmed) simulator. Am I on the right track, or is the coding stuff just a metaphor?

I'll be able to go into the insane classification system that got developed

Developed by whom?

to define what ia reality vs a plane, vs a dimension, vs a realm and all these other nuances like what happens if someone from one dimension goes into another dimension and how do things flow together

In one way, that would be fascinating. In another, that level of detail starts to make me wonder: all sorts of people have all sorts of detailed theories about reality which can't all be right - is it perhaps better to try to stick to the more general abstract stuff that we can hope for consensus on before digging into potentially subjective gritty details like that? But in the end, I don't want to discourage you from presenting all of your data/inference/theoretical points.

Gods and goddesses are just the equivalent of people who are so good at programming they know how to make their own compilers, interpreters, operating systems, etc.

So: not necessarily morally superior beings? (Trick question!)

typically, if someone locally is trying to tell people that they're a god or that everything is a certain way, there's a good chance they're just trying to manipulate them, which is why I am so suspicious of things here. granted it can also be genuine

Genuine in that the being actually is a "god(dess)", and that things are the way they say? How would you determine whether this is true (you must have done so for the "tournament goddess")?

I hope this is a good start.

For sure. It sounds like you have had some experiences that are way out there - all very valuable data for our community. However you choose to present it is fine.
