There is a reality-translator built into me. It translates raw reality into the familiar time, space, things, people etc.

It's part of my mind, or body, or thereabouts.

It's why dreams (and supposedly the afterlife) invariably involve time, space, people etc.

Raw reality is made of vibes or poetry. A song without words. Then the translator adds the words.

We all have a reality translator in our heads.

It’s called our own perception and biases.

3. The true world--unattainable, indemonstrable, unpromisable; but the very thought of it--a consolation, an obligation, an imperative. (At bottom, the old sun, but seen through mist and skepticism. The idea has become elusive, pale, Nordic, Königsbergian.)

To willingly live within a dream is certainly poor behavior.

But ya, an old idea. Supported by testimony of seers. Old as humanity.

Now go one step further; It isn't a translator but a creator. It manifests the self outwards.

And another step further; The logic of the universe is re-created in every moment backwards into time.

Look up Solipsism.

I am not following your reasoning.

A translator and a creator are 2 completely different animals.

No, space daddy told me via ancient text that's been translated multiple times that there's nothing waiting on the other side.

A common mistranslation.

When Abraham asked what happens on the other side, God said "....uhh, nothing?" Which implies that it's a bitchin' party that Abe wasn't invited to.
