The Nature of Morality and Reality in a Simulated Experience

In such a simulation experience, how would you even be able to say that you have a body or a brain?

I do not see myself as only the individual human personality which has grown from the blank-slate default.

I also understand (from the human personality perspective) the idea that a broader aspect of my overall mindfulness/the mindfulness I am involved with, was indeed asked to participate and did indeed agree to participating.

I do not require having any direct memory of that agreement in order to logically trust it did indeed occur.

We don't know and cannot know with any more certainty than logic allows for re that.

The way my human personality regards the issue is to ask myself whether I would trust a "higher moral agent" personally involved in the growing of a human personality (as in a "avatar" re Simulation Theory) and the answer I have come up with is YES.

I don't think I (or anyone mindful at that level of per-human intelligence) would knowingly enter such a reality experience without taking full precautions, so we can eliminate the idea of suffering as pain as some kind of curse placed upon we within said experience.

Thus, the reports to do with NDE take on a significant meaning in relation to agreement, co-creation (of reality experience) and the idea of securing/saving the precious growth moving forward, adds purpose to said experience.
