David Icke describes a reality that is fundamentally different from the traditional view. He argues that reality as we perceive it is actually a simulation, similar to a virtual reality video game. This simulation is created and controlled by an astral demonic force, which Icke identifies as the Gnostic Demiurge, Yaldabaoth, as well as Satan in Christianity and Shaytan in Islam. Here are the main characteristics of Icke's reality: ●The simulation: "Physical" reality is an illusion generated by decoding a Wi-Fi-like information field. This field is created by Yaldabaoth and controlled by an astral artificial intelligence (AI). ●The astral world: In addition to the material world, there is an astral dimension, a "spirit world," which operates on frequencies other than those perceptible by our five senses. The astral world is also part of the simulation. ●Astral Entities: The astral world is populated by non-human entities, including reptilians and Greys, who manipulate humanity through their agents in the Global Cult. ●The Divine Spark: Humans are essentially Divine Sparks, fragments of pure consciousness from the Source, trapped in the simulation. The purpose of the simulation is to keep consciousness trapped in the material and astral realms, preventing its return to the Source. ●Reincarnation: Reincarnation is a mechanism that recycles souls between the material and astral worlds, keeping them within the simulation. ●Control of Perception: The key to Yaldabaoth's control is the manipulation of human perception. This is done by programming our perception of reality and instilling the false identity of "human" and "soul". The mainstream view of reality, in contrast, is based on materialism. Mainstream science sees the universe as a purely material system, governed by physical laws. There is no place for a spiritual dimension or non-human entities in the mainstream view. Icke criticizes mainstream science for its failure to recognize the illusory nature of reality and the influence of astral entities. He argues that science focuses too much on the details and fails to see the big picture. The fundamental difference between Icke's view and the mainstream view is that Icke sees reality as a mental construct, while mainstream science considers it objective and independent of consciousness. This difference in perspective has profound implications for our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe.
