New here and also new to David Icke material. Howdy.
"The Trap" is my first read of David. Seeing an interview on London Real is what prompted me to buy the book. Why? Especially after the last 3 years of saying to myself and others - "This doesn't make any sense!" or "This seems bigger than Democrats vs Republicans" or "How can {insert name of most elites} seem so sincere and passionate about what they are saying when it's clearly a lie?" Regardless of the accuracy of David's claims, his conclusion filled in those missing puzzle pieces that were causing me so much anxiety and hopelessness.
The side effect of my mind exploding from the simulation theory, and realizing how it finally answered most of my questions, was about a week of fitful sleep at night. I usually sleep quite soundly, but instead I was waking up in the morning with my covers literally off the bed and on the floor. I have worked in the technology world for 25+ years, attended a 4 year energy healing school, and have studied a wide range of meditation and life/mind hacks... so I'm not a newbie to a wide range of open minded and/or creative topics. But like I said, this blew my mind. I also can't help thinking that the fitful sleep was something in/about the VR that was trying to dissuade me from continuing and finishing the book. Anyone else have that experience? Since I started reading it, I have also been having what I can only describe as negative synchronicities. I won't get into all of the examples. But, I'm used to the positive ones in my life that help me, not the negative ones that seem to be derailing me.
Anyway, the point of this post regarding The Trap is asking if anyone has studied or followed people who have a similar concept as David, but is way more complicated, far reaching and even more brain twisting as a concept. For example, some people claim there are 5D through up to 12D beings attempting to help humans on this version of earth, are regularly visiting in their "space craft", are in contact with the govt, have been at war with the reptilians, etc etc. Using David's VR theory can explain these as well, but the folks promoting this are all "love and light" or "The Law of One" and I'm not sure what benefit the reptilians would have for weaving such an intricate story through (fake) channeling that these people are supposedly doing over decades.
And honestly, the same could be said for David's story of synchronicity and contact with a higher source of information. If we are in a controlled virtual reality, literally, how can we believe ANYTHING... including that there is a higher source beyond 4D? lol. Maybe we are just a programming experiment on someones laptop on the planet Glorb that's been running for 15 minutes and we've just perceived it as longer. Oy. My brain.
