Abstract: It is said that life in the physical world is produced by Creator by < Bible .Genesis> and nothing but illusion in various “Buddhist Sutras” for a long time. Today, with the rapid development of modern science and technology, derived from information technology, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are changing people's lives. Man-machine interactive helmet, massively multiplayer online games technology would rather have been just started than been mature. In this paper, we would demonstrate many fields from ancient classics to works in the new era, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality to prove that the human world is actually a network game, and God is doing the observation of human society outside the game .

The Nothingness of Contemporary Physics
Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger, Dirac, Hocking and so on a number of physicists together built up the "theory of relativity" and "quantum mechanics" as foundation of the modern physics, while these theories seem to indicate that the ultimate nature of the world is nothing. As a philosophical foundation, modern theoretical physics is basically built based on the analysis of simpler things after the split of more complex stuff. The fact that particles are repeatedly split seems to mean that the split process itself is "infinite", and the essence of this phenomenon indicates that particles are "Nihility". Because if particles can be divided limitlessly, how much are they at all. In other words, it is difficult to determine how much is "infinitely small ". May it be "0" or something " limited "? Also this new theory system has considerable impact on the traditional Newton mechanics system. The traditional understanding of physics had fallen in conception subversion of "uncertainty" and "accidental". In the view of how to treat the incompatibility issues between "theory of relativity" and the "quantum mechanics" , a breakthrough in philosophy is needed.
1982, by the French physicist Aspect, who did the “quantum non local effect” or “quantum super light effect experiment” raised another problem for physicists. The result of this experiment is in accordance with the basic theory of quantum mechanics predictions, and shows that there is indeed the existence of a certain kind of "psychic" between the microscopic particles, which reflects the contradiction between "quantum mechanics" and "theory of relativity".
The existence of these paradox, makes today's physics not look perfect. How to explain these problems becomes a difficult challenge of history of human science. If you change a point of view, think about that the people’s life is living in computer games, controlled by programs, the problem may be solved. And God outside the game, is monitoring everything occurring within the game.
After the Discovery of Ancient Books
Historically, many ancient texts reveal the universe is indeed God creating illusion, it is called namely "creationism". In <Bible. Genesis > , there is a textual description of how God had created
the universe:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Buddha dharma <Diamond Sutra > records Sakyamuni Buddha's teachings: "no body to see the Tathagata ...... All phase, all is vanity. If you see the various non - phase, see Buddha.". Does this mean that the various phases of physical world are the illusions of game? While the "void"in Chinese (虚空) is repeatedly stressed In Buddhist scriptures, does that mean the ancient expression of modern concept of "virtual space" (虚拟空间)? Is that a abbreviation in Chinese because there was no computer and network at that time, the terms, concpetion and meaning are difficult for the ancients to express clearly.
Illusion Discovery after the "new era" works <dialogue with God> and < Old God in >
< Conversations with God> series writer Neil Donald Walsh, wrote in < Conversations with God III> :
“......
Have you ever watched children use a CD-ROM to play a computerized video game?
Yes.
Have you ever asked yourself how the computer knows how to respond to every move the child makes with the joystick?
Yes, actually, I have wondered that.
It’s all on the disc. The computer knows how to respond to every move the child makes because every possible move has already been placed on the disc, along with its appropriate response.
That’s spooky. Almost surreal.
What, that every ending, and every twist and turn producing that ending, is already programmed on the disc? There’s nothing “spooky” about it. It’s just technology.
And if you think that the technology of video games is something, wait ‘til you see the technology of the universe!
Think of the Cosmic Wheel as that CD-ROM. All the endings already exist. The universe is just waiting to see which one you choose this time. And when the game is over, whether you win, lose, or draw, the universe will say, “Want to play again?”
Your computer disc doesn’t care whether you win or not, and you can’t “hurt its feelings.” It just offers you a chance to play again. All the endings already exist, and which ending you experience depends on the choices you make.
So God is nothing more than a CD-ROM?
I wouldn’t put it that way, exactly. But throughout this dialogue I have been trying to use illustrations that embody concepts everyone can hold in their understanding. So I think the CD-ROM illustration is a good one.
In many ways, life is like a CD-ROM. All the possibilities exist and have already occurred. Now you get to select which one you choose to experience.

< Old God In > series author Xie Mingjie wrote in the <Old God In I>:
"......
All the people can speak to me, and I chat with everyone of them. Even at the moment, I am working with personnel spreading over at least twelve different regions and as with you, a bit like your MSN, some languages you have never heard.
......
They also believe Jehovah?
The universe, the mountains and the earth all are my creation, no matter which God they worship, all is worship to me, just maybe they don't call me Jehovah. Sometimes I am a God of the hills, some time I am the Sun God, but no matter is the worship for whom, and to the highest point, they are all for me. I am the ‘first force', the everything has since then been created.
But < Bible > said only the true God alone can be served, and the Lord hates idols and other "false Gods".
......
There is only one true God, but the range is wider, because everything of the universe is within me. Any human-created 'spirit', whether it is a God of hills, God of sea, God of sun, God of wind or God of fire and so on of natural supers, is the manifest of my all nature creation. Since all nature is made by me, thanks to them are also for me, perhaps just on the different way. But I am the God with insight into the people’s heart, will not merit on the 'type' or 'sacrifice', because I don't value those.
......”
The above two books, from either philosophy or from a scientific point of view, have shown wonderfulness on thoughts of God and Creation. If there is no external cue, to people on earth, it is difficult to write such a profound writings and to have such deep thoughts. Because of its argument, for the first time only, is seen by human and never before, it won't be like novelist of fantasy or some sort of counterfeits. And God is watching the earth human.
“Zen”, "Meditation" and "Hypnosis" over "Image Tracing" Function
There are broad descriptions of the "supernatural" phenomenon in Buddhist “Zen” or "meditation". In the second chapter of Buddhist < Shurangama mantra > , is about "Zen" records:
“......
Ananda, as you and I now look at the palace where the four heavenly kings reside, and inspect all that moves in the water, on dry land, and in the air, some are dark and some are bright, varying in shape and appearance, and yet all of these are nothing but the dust before us, taking solid form only through our own distinction-making. Among them you should distinguish which is self and which is other. I ask you now to select from within your seeing which is the substance of the self and which is the appearance of things. Ananda, if you take a good look at everything everywhere within the range of your vision extending from the palaces of the sun and moon to the seven gold mountain ranges, all that you see is phenomena of different features and degrees of light. at closer range you will gradually see clouds floating, birds flying, wind blowing, dust rising, trees, mountains, streams, grasses, seeds, people, and animals, all of which are phenomena, but none of which are you."
......
then from the svastika "myriad" on his chest, the tathagata poured forth gem-like light. radiant with hundreds of thousands of colors, this brilliant light simultaneously pervaded throughout the ten directions to Buddha-realms as many as atoms of universe, anointing the crowns of every tathagata in all these jeweled Buddhalands of the ten directions. Then it swept back to Ananda and all the great assembly. the Buddha said to Ananda, "I will now erect the great dharma banner for you, to cause all living beings in the ten directions to obtain the wondrous subtle secret, the pure nature, the bright mind, and to attain those pure eyes.
......”
Even today, there still have a lot more descriptions on various phenomena in “Zen” and “Meditation” in the East by monks and other performers. How to explain these supernatural phenomena is out of the sight of modern science. Can we just define them as the functions of visual browsing?
Another book < Tui Bei Tu > caused the author's interest. According to the Chinese history , the legendary book is co-authored by the Tang Dynasty warlock Yuantiangang and Lichunfeng. There are famous words inside which is "The flying stuff which is not a bird, the diving stuff which is not a fish", it seems to be in the descriptions of the aircraft and submarines of contemporary society . However, they are ancient human who were living in 1500 years ago , aircraft and submarines should not be seen by them, how can they know it? To explain this phenomenon, we should trace back the Chinese history: Reportedly Yuantiangang and Lichunfeng were Taoist, whether had they been practicing "meditation", and had they got "supernatural", so that had they “Previewed” some future image?
Like the "supernatural" phenomenon in “Meditation”, people also found similar effect in contemporary psychotherapy "hypnosis" . In Dr Brian.L.Weiss’s book <Many Lifes, Many Masters>, it is said:
“Many Lives, Many Masters is the true story of a prominent psychiatrist, his young patient, and the past-life therapy that changed both their lives.
As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss, M.D., graduated from Columbia University and Yale Medical School, spent years in the disciplined study of the human psychology, training his mind to think as a scientist and a physician.
He held steadfastly to conservatism in his profession, distrusting anything that could not be proved by traditional scientific method. But when he met his 27-year old patient, Catherine, in 1980, who came to his office seeking help for her anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias, he was taken aback at what unfolded in the therapy sessions that followed, which jolted him out of his conventional ways of thought and psychiatry. For the first time, he came face-to-face with the concept of reincarnation and the many tenets of Hinduism, which, as he says in the last chapter of the book, “I thought only Hindus… practiced.”
For 18 months, Dr. Weiss used conventional methods of treatment to help Catherine overcome her traumas. When nothing seemed to work, he tried hypnosis, which, he explains, “is an excellent tool to help a patient remember long-forgotten incidents. There is nothing mysterious about it. It is just a state of focused concentration. Under the instruction of a trained hypnotist, the patient’s body relaxes, causing the memory to sharpen… eliciting memories of long-forgotten traumas that were disrupting their lives.”
During the initial sessions, the doctor regressed her back to her early childhood and she strained and stretched her mind bringing out isolated, deeply-repressed memory fragments. She remembered from age five when she swallowed water and felt gagged when pushed from a diving board into a pool; and at age three when her father reeking of alcohol molested her one night. But what came next, catapulted skeptics like Dr. Weiss into believing in parapsychology, and in what Shakespeare had said in Hamlet (Act I scene 5), “There are more things in heaven and earth… than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
In a series of trance-like states, Catherine recalled “past life” memories that proved to be the causative factors of her recurring nightmares and anxiety attack symptoms. She remembers “living 86 times in physical state” in different places on this earth both as male and female. She recalled vividly the details of each birth – her name, her family, physical appearance, the landscape, and how she was killed by stabbing, by drowning, or illness. And in each lifetime she experiences myriad events “making progress… to fulfill all of the agreements and all of the Karmic (from Hindu concept of Karma) debts that are owed.”
Dr. Weiss’s skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from “the space between lives”, messages from the many Masters (highly evolved souls not presently in body) that also contained remarkable revelations about his family and his dead son. Often he had heard his patients talk about near-death experiences when they float out of their mortal bodies guided towards a bright white light before reentering their discarded body once again.
But Catherine revealed much more. As she floats out of her body after each death, she says, “I am aware of a bright light. It’s wonderful; you get energy from this light.” Then, while waiting to be reborn in the in-between-lives state, she learns from the Masters great wisdom and becomes a conduit for transcendental knowledge.
Voices of Master Spirits
Here are some of the teachings from the voices of the Master Spirits:
1. “Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge… By knowledge we approach God, and then we can rest. Then we come back to teach and help others.”
2. “There are many gods, for God is in each of us.”
3. We have to be on “different planes at different times. Each one is a level of higher consciousness. What plane we go to depends upon how far we’ve progressed…”
4. “We must share our knowledge with other people. We all have abilities far beyond what we use. …you should check your vices… if you do not, you carry them over with you to another life… when you decide you are strong enough to master the external problems, then you will no longer have them in your next life.”
5. “Everybody’s path is basically the same. We all must learn certain attitudes while we’re in physical state. …charity, hope, faith, love…we must all know these things and know them well.”
6. “Everything is energy… Humans can only see the outside, but you can go much deeper… To be in physical state is abnormal. When you are in spiritual state that is natural to you. When we are sent back, it’s like being sent back to something we do not know. In the spirit world you have to wait, and then you are renewed. It’s a dimension like the other dimensions…”
7. “The fear of death…that no amount of money or power can neutralize”…remains within us. “But if people knew that life is endless; so we never die; we were never really born, this fear would dissolve.” We have “lived countless times before and would live countless times again…and spirits are around us to help while in physical state and after death, in spiritual state.” We and our deceased loved ones would join these guardian angels.
8. “Acts of violence and injustices against people do not go unnoted, but is repaid in kind in other lifetime.”
9. “Everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed… we must accept what comes to us at a given time… life is endless… we just pass through different phases. There is no end. Time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned.”
10. After death “we get to the spiritual plane, we keep growing there, too. When we arrive, we’re burned out. We have to go through a renewal stage, a learning stage, and a stage of decision. We decide when we want to return, where, and for what reasons…Our body is just a vehicle for us while we’re here. It is our soul and our spirit that last forever…”
Dr. Weiss believes, under hypnosis, Catherine was able to focus in on the part of her subconscious mind that stored actual past-life memories, or perhaps she had tapped into what the psychoanalyst Carl Jung termed the Collective Unconscious, the energy source that surrounds us containing the memories of the entire human race.

Above all sorts of "meditation", "supernatural" and "hypnosis" phenomenon, there are many kind of explanations. However, beyond them, they are just "Browse", "Preview" and "Back Tracing" functions of the visual memory.
Several Philosophical Problems of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality Theory and the Theology
While artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology are developing rapidly, human-machine engineering also is in progress synchronously. When people is playing in the human-created, vivid virtual reality games, at the same time, whether is human itself leading a life in virtual reality and blinded by “Veil”. How can human prove that human life is in the actual reality or in the virtual reality? If we can demonstrate that mankind is in life of virtual reality, virtual reality must be the creation of other intelligent beings, and that is proving the existence of God, reversing the Darwin's evolution theory, which is one of the foundation of human science. Behind the virtual reality system, perhaps God is watching.
The relationship between reality and intelligence is the two aspects of one subject. Without the recognition to reality, intelligence can not self-acknowledge that it is intelligent. And without the recognition by intelligence, the meaning of reality can not be realized. Therefore, they must be mutually engaged and do exist side by side. The essential functions of the intelligence include identifying, memorizing, associating and reasoning, etc. No matter actual reality or virtual reality, it needs to be recognized, so the relationship between reality and intelligence is inseparable.
At present, we generally believe that we live in the actual reality, and the core of human intelligence is the human brain, brain is surrounding by the external reality. In other words, human intelligence is nurtured and nourished by the external reality. But the actual reality can flow through the brain only through the signal, so we can actually see and hear and feel. If in this way, which we actually see and hear and even feel are the results of the virtualized signals of actual reality. But in the virtual reality and artificial intelligence architecture, virtual reality can only flow through artificial intelligence system like a stream media. This puts forward that two kinds of architecture mode are essentially the same, whether it is a signal, or streaming media, both are data flows.
Thus, in any case, the subjective consciousness of human beings is generated by the virtualized reality signal passing through the human brain. And about the questions on whether the reality does actually exist, it seems that our subjective feelings are not directly related, we actually can only feel the results.
"Naked Brain" and "Printed Brain "
Here we introduce the thought experiment in Zhaizhenming’s <Get Real-A Philosophical Adventure in Virtual Reality> which is the “Brains in a Vat”, also known as “Naked Brain” experiment: The idea is to build the connection between the brain's visual nerve, auditory nerve, olfactory nerve, tactile nerve and sensory nerve and external virtual reality signal directly, to nurture the brain with supply not from the human body, but through external maintenance system, then the Naked Brain entirely possible is feeling that one is still alive, and may not know that oneself is living in virtual reality, this is similar with the movie “Matrix”. Virtual reality data stream (virtual signal or live streaming media) is feeding by the external computer and flowing to the brain, the problem lies in which is the data stream is acquisited from real time environment, so-called actual reality, or is the man-made virtual streaming media. And the second approach has a special characteristics of “time”, the past, now and future do exist at the same time, that makes the "meditation", "supernatural" and "hypnotic" possible.
The problem is that in this case, a bare head without the body, is still able to maintain a sense of self. If the data stream feeding the Naked Brain is to be cut off , what is it going to be? It is not yet known, but it can be speculated that, when the relatively called external environment disappeared, self consciousness is supposed to lose its reference, and also its meaning, so it is a quiet and fusion, let us remember the “Void” In “Zen”.
The “Printed Brain” experiment: Conceiving in the future, human being is able to produce a 3D printer, which can print an artificial brain exactly like someone's brain, then whether does the artificial brain have the “self” concept? In other words, whether is “self” relying on the external or its own? If it is a daily use of computer hard drive, the software and information content is contained by hardware, therefore, if there is no external maintenance, “Printed Brain” should have “self” perception.
The Timetable of Virtual reality in the Future
In <"virtual reality" and the natural reality on the reciprocity of ontology>, Zhaizhenming introduced in the timetable of futural development of virtual reality, which is divided into two stages (as follows):
The first stage: from experience of the sensory synthesis and copy to immersive experience in cyberspace.
2001: helmet with 3D glasses and Stereo Headset, and the wireless communication with computer.
2008: after people wear the sensor glove, the dynamic images of arm, palm and fingers appear in the 3D glasses, instead of the touch pad and cursor.
2015: the sensing gloves have two-way functions, it can provide palms and fingers the stimulation of tactile according to the command of computer; With the coordination between vision and tactile, plus stereo effects, cyberspace is forming at first step: when the operator see their own hands touch the object’s view field, the hands would get corresponding haptic feedback; when the hands strike the same object, the operator can hear the virtual noise coming from the direction of the object.
2035: expansion from pressure sensing glove to the pressure sensing leotard, the dynamic image of human body would be reproduced within the visual horizon in cyberspace. People feel that their own enter the cyberspace, and the space referenced by the center of their visual horizon.
2037: a sensing walking track or similar facilities are set up as a middleware among people's legs and computer to transfer people's walking signal, thus create the necessary facilities for the words "not to go outdoor but travel around the world".
2040: the dynamic interactions associating the operator’s whole body image and other objects’ image in the virtual environment , result corresponding facial sensory input. In this way, our body movements lead to the corresponding changes in the vision and auditory which enable us to feel a independent existence of physical environment: looking ahead, there is the surging sea; turning around, there is the towering mountains; turning back to watch, there is still the sea, but also the sailing boat from far away......
2050: recording machine goes into the practical stage, by using of pressure sensing suits and other equipment, people can record, replay touch sense.
2060: combination of cyberspace and the Internet, accessing Internet is entering the cyberspace, it can be communicating with other people online through exchanging sense and feelings, and distant lovers can hug each other.
2070: through control program, people can choose their own image and environment in a certain range, and change the intensity of the feeling.
2080: through the feeling of amplification or reorganization, the content of human communication, the way of emotional communication have been greatly enriched and improved.
2090: Communication in cyberspace has become the main way of daily communication.
The second stage: the physical shift from the sensory communication to remote operation.
2100: combination of long-distance communication technology and robot technology, operator immersive experiences the visual, auditory, tactile, etc. from the remote robot through cyberspace; on one hand, robot is driven by computer and motor, repeat the action of distant operator; on the other hand, the sensors of robot connecting the sensors in leotard dressed by operator, and the signals obtained by robot are able to be passed to the operator. In this way, the operator is immersively experiencing teleoperation. That is to say, I will be able to immediately approach to any place the robot avatar presents without knowing the condition of the robot, because in my experiencing sphere, my body has been in one with the robot.
2150: robot can not only provide distant immersive experiencer sensory interfaces, but also repeat the actions of experiencer, which are working on the lives and objects to complete the task or job. The walking motion of immersive experiencer is after the walking track, it is able to transmit the transport signals to the computer of the robot, the initial realization of teleoperation.
2180: the collective cooperation stage of teleoperation: robot avatar controlled by immersive operators together complete complex indoor or outdoor operation.
2200: throughout the global robot avatars, immersive operators can travel to various places, finish all kinds of industry and trade, agriculture, business task without physical presence.
2250: the robots are rated into different size and horsepower, then immersive operator can change the gears among these different robots to approach the needs for different power or actions for enlargement or reduction. In operator’s view field, the image of the object can be zoom in and zoom out. So, if I'm going to thread a needle, pinhole can be zoomed as big as the door, I can hold the line and walked through. To take a plane with a hand, you can turn the plane image into a small toy, and use the automatic transmission system to connect a large power and large size robot, thus easily raise the aircraft.
2300: most human activities are carried out in virtual reality. Teleoperation as the foundation, has been extensively used in maintaining human’s livelihood. it is also expanded into the artistic creation, interpersonal communication, to enrich life and change the world through programming.
2600: in virtual reality, our children treat our lives in today’s environment as a history of civilization, and have to forget it in their daily lives.
3000 years: it is accepted by historians that the era from 2001 to 2600 is the creation stage of human history , and the story of prehistory will become their literary roots and enduring theme.
3500 years: people begin to create a new round of virtual reality..
The practical significance of this hypothetical timetable does not lie on the extent of how accurate does what it is predicted match the fact, but rather the process how human will do in the future. Through the timetable, the reader can directly understand that it is the matter of time that human beings will become the creator of the next level of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Because God created our human beings, we are the creation combined artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
The karma for war
If the earth is the so-called illusion, or a computer game, what are the views about the wars happened, happening on the earth? One view is the war is cruel and ignorant; and the other is the war experience is fun through the game. In the Eastern Religions "Buddhism" and "Hindu", it is often mentioned that people should watch out the karma problem. Chinese Buddhist is even not in favor of "killing" and "eating meat", because Buddhism causal theory believes that will produce karma reaction. Neil Donald Walsh, author of the <Conversations with God > series, wrote down that God’s opinion about war: wars are the result of mutual actions of human consciousness, the right idea for peace is that "to avoid war is not to mention it, but to love peace".
Summary
Why should life not be an act of computer games? The eternal myth and creationism themselves suggest that we may be the product of artificial intelligence, and the game environment is based on virtual reality technology. Living in this created reality, we are immersively experiencing with the life of game. However, where is the evidence? Please carefully read this article!
