We all have access to the program, yes. Individually and collectively.
In this world it doesn't always seem that way, when politicians, and the establishment, have so much influence over so many.
When we turn off our minds, and allow the establishment to feed us all our information, we co-create the establishments vision of reality, rather than our own.

This is why studies show that sitting on the couch doing nothing burns more calories than sitting on the couch watching tv.
Crazy.

I think we have access/influence by our actions, words, even thoughts. Those at the top of our world/society seem to be very good at manipulating it to suit themselves.
But that's not proof that we are accessing/influencing the program.
I've been obsessed with this for some time now, that there must be some way to prove or disprove.
The best I can come up with is some sort of Art Bell/George Noory/C2C type collective prayer/meditation/thought experiment.



I got smoke coming out of my ears.

You could try web searching "sleep vibrations," "OBE," "Akashic records," etc. to learn more about it.

Many of the Pseudo-physicists with materials out there about the subject, like Deepak Chopra, Rob Brayanton, "what the bleep" (I suppose you could add Jim) and many other "astral projection" or self-help "create your own universe" people -- pretty much all agree that reality is an individual thing.

Like any programming - tapping into the program - is really a process of communicating with the programmer(s). You might also consider whether one of those programmers might in fact be you - yourself. That realization itself will help us get closer to the program.

As humanity has technologically advanced since the start of the industrial revolution, more clues about
reality have become evident. At this point, its just a matter of putting enough of the data together.
In 1599, Shakespeare wrote, all the world's a stage...
In 1999, The Wachowskis released a movie about the world being staged on a hard drive.
And Thomas A. Anderson (alias Neo) realized that the world was not as he liked it.
So he became a digital Superman & proceeded to change the world.

RUSH & U2 seemed to pick up on some interesting things about VR, etc.
You could say that U2 got a little crazy in their 1990s technology ZOO.

Of course in the first Matrix movie, Neo was awakened & realized that he has been living as a Digital Man.
There is that classic scene where Neo & Morpheus are in a black sedan. Morpheus is observing Neo looking
out the window looking at the local view of the simulation. Eventually Neo is taken to the underground city of Zion.
I found it fascinating how the song Digital Man seemed to be describing elements of the Matrix series.

There should have been a Matrix version of this video.

At 1:55 Bono selects various human avatars & at 2:05 the Fly selects various animal avatars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_TV_Tour
So as the ZOO TV tour ended in Sydney in late 1993, production for the Matrix starts in Sydney about 5 years later.

At the opening of the concert Bono says something like, We followed the yellow brick road down to Sydney.
Then in the Matrix, Cypher says, "We're not in Kansas anymore..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_characters_in_the_Matrix_series#Cypher
Interesting how the last ZOO TV concert & the first Matrix movie make a reference to aspects of the OZ story.

Agent Smith tells Neo that he lives in a zoo about half a decade after the ZOO TV tour ended.

Keanu was in a band that was connected to Zoo Entertainment.

Bono as the Fly inside a grid matrix.

Its not that Bono was trying to be Neo in the early 1990s, but you can certainly see how U2 was developing
an archetypal character for a VR environment.

Of course at the end of the first Matrix movie, we see Neo fly off into part 2.

At one level of perception many can perceive coincidence, at a higher level some people can perceive
the synchronicity. Then there are a small percentage of people like Jim Elvidge that see an intricately structured programed reality.

Thanks Jim for creating this forum, I hope that it draws in the attention of millions of people.

I wish that many more people would have this thought. "Do We Have Access to the Program"

Sure there are billions of people connected to various belief systems, but not enough
people seem to realize that if this is a creation, its a tremendously structured OS. I see nature
as an earth based program, geology as another. I consider gravity, magnetism, the strong &
weak nuclear force as independent programs within the greater cosmic OS. There also
seems to be a cosmic Internet that's accessible to conscious psychics & remote viewers. So
many artists are subconsciously taping into this cosmic data-field. Since ancient times,
several people have had the concept of there being an akashic record of various life experiences.
http://www.crystalinks.com/akashicrecords.html
http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/a/akashic_records.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_records
Of course this by it self doesn't prove that we are in an interactive program, but the clues are
all around. It sure does seem like we are in some kind of a cosmic video game.

I was born in 1965, so I'm the same age group as, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Redfern .

Examining reality, I was already fascinated with this subject matter by the age of 9. Basically Jim, what you have done
here is to connect so many of the dots that I have been seeing for decades. Practically every sci-fi movie that has
ever been made so far, propels my fascination with science, fiction & reality. I never did well with math & spelling &
I have always been a slow typer. Never the less, I have been gradually building up my own blog that links up to
so many interesting topics. You have so much data on your web site & blog that I would like to reference & provide links
to on my blog.

"Got any more anomalies? Send them my way!"
Indeed, I certainly do & will soon.
My main interest is researching coincidence & synchronicity & taking it to an intriguing level.
The Programed Reality or DVD universe, multiverse or cosmic hard drive are terms that people can use to help
visualize what we might all be in.

NIN is a fascinating band. http://www.nin.com/?id=97906
I can hardly wait to see this movie.
http://www.thesocialnetwork-movie.com/

I would argue that this is how some minds have access to the program, and others do not:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/1018/breaking25.html

It also reminnds me of how these Bluebloods think, they hate and despise "outside the box" thinkers.
But they can't do without them.
And they want the rest of us to think they're entitled somehow, even though they are obviously just bums.
Didn't McKenna say words to the effect, "We need good ideas." ?

I think when the mind undergoes the next evolutionary phase these Bluebloods will go the way of the dinosaurs.

zardoz, I never saw the movie but I understand that "eXistenZ" explores similar ideas.

JF, thanks for the links!

JF:

They've got all the people convinced that "The Oppressed Majority Conspiracy" isn't some crazy conspiracy theory, but a simple fact of life.
