Alternative Theories

My purpose in making this site was primarily to organize my own thoughts. I wanted a platform to form my own ideas about the universe and what it really means to be a human being. It mostly came down to my own curiosity. I’ve published what I believe to be the truth but I always keep an open mind and I would be arrogant to assume that I have it all figured out. Here are a few other theories that are entirely possible. They are not mutually exclusive and many of them work into each other easily.

Simulation Theory

This theory is very common and is growing in support. Elon Musk is probably the most well known proponent. In many ways I think this actually works well with the idea that the earth is an experiment/school being monitored by higher intelligences. If we are living in a simulation doesn’t it make sense that some "gods" must be monitoring and controlling it? It's also possible that there is an existing form of AI in the galaxies controlling the simulations. Do we feed the simulation with the activity from society. I personally think this theory also functions well with the research being done on consciousness. Is it possible that the hive mind of humanity is somehow connected to the simulation? Are we dreaming this world around us through our beliefs and thoughts? This makes me wonder what the true purpose of the simulation might be. Is it all designed to evolve humanity and progress our consciousness? Does the simulation benefit from the work accomplished by society? What if the point of the Matrix is to identify the souls brave enough to defy it? Perhaps we can escape from the Simulation?

Progenitor Race

What if all the different human cultures branched from an ancient race of advanced Atlanteans? We have all heard of Plato's claim that an advanced human civilization was wiped from the face of the earth by a massive flood but what if there is even more to the story. It is entirely possible that some Atlanteans survived the cataclysm and helped reboot human civilization. If there were survivors from an advanced ancient society, the first thing these people would do is start rebuilding the civilization they had watched collapse. I believe the Atlanteans were sharing the Earth with a variety of less advanced peoples at the time and upon the destruction of Atlantis they took it upon themselves to help these peoples develop new technologies. This transfer of knowledge and technology provides a reasonable explanation for some of the bizarre understandings held by our ancestors as well as the strange correlation between different ancient sacred sites such as the Pyramids of the Mayans, Egyptians, and Xian Chinese.

Stoned Ape Theory

The idea that ancient gods literally came to earth and influenced human civilization is one possibility but it is not alone. There is another explanation that could explain humanities rapid rise from hunter gatherers to technologically advanced civilizations. The stoned ape theory proposes the idea that primitive cavemen started introducing psychedelic mushrooms into their diet. These drugs stimulate creative thought and can enlighten users with a wealth of universal knowledge. Hallucinogenics such as psilocybin, ayahuasca, peyote, and DMT alter the wavelength that the human brain is able to process and observe. This has allowed shamans throughout history to interact with the spirit world and other parallel dimensions of reality. Is it possible that the gods of ancient times were contacted through psychedelic trances? This would give some context to a quote from Terrence McKenna who believes "that the place to search for extraterrestrials is in the psychic dimension". Terrence McKenna also proposed that "We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extraterrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us".

We are the Aliens

What if we are the aliens all along? Is it possible that our fixation on 'the extraterrestrial' is a type of psychological foreshadowing of our own future. Do we dream up strange men in flying saucers exploring the universe because we ultimately aspire to that? I personally believe that the human psyche is not trapped within the bounds of linear time and that we receive glimpses of our ultimate destiny throughout history. I also believe that great men and woman have received these insights at critical times and have lead humanity to where we are today. Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Plato... Perhaps we are actually the architects of our own extraterrestrial destiny. Some people take this sentiment even more literally and suggest that humans might not even be native to earth. The prospect that humanity might've already been a space traveling species in our ancient history and colonized the earth is definitely out there but so is everything else. Multiple ancient artifacts seem to depict humans with bizarre flying technology. Who knows.

Humans Created Aliens

Another theory worth entertaining is the idea that aliens may have been planted in the public mind intentionally. This take requires a larger reassessment of our history and where we currently stand as a society. Is it possible that underground human activity has developed technology far beyond our current understanding and humans have been using these crafts for decades? Or centuries...? Could 'the elite' be intentionally planting ideas about the existence of alien life as part of a larger masterplan to stage an alien invasion and start a one-world government? This is a common theory amongst some conspiracists and I have to admit it’s certainly within the realm of possibility. Having seen two myself, I fully believe that the thousands of UFO sitings seen every year across the world are reputable but its possible they are classified military craft developed in clandestine projects. If the government wanted to plant these seeds it would make sense why they occasionally fly over populated areas. Another possibility is that the government created aliens in a more literal sense. The grey humanoid that many people describe could be a secret underground genetic project. What would this indicate for alien abduction accounts? Maybe governments have literally created an intelligent alien species to run tests and monitor the population. Maybe the grey aliens exists but they are more robotic than biological. Whether conventional aliens are here or not I can't conclusively say, but it certainly seems like someone has left plenty of breadcrumbs pointing towards their existence. Could the government be trying to feed small bits of the truth to the public so we can accept the news slowly? Or are they leaving breadcrumbs to intentionally deceive us? As I mentioned earlier.. we live in a world of illusions.

Aliens are us... from the future?

This one's a trip. There are plenty of people that believe they have another viable explanation for the UFO phenomenon. Many of the leading voices in the UFO community believe that aliens are actually concerned with our society and wish to help. Some government employees have even claimed that nuclear rockets have been shot down by UFOs before entering space. Could we have friendly extraterrestrial neighbors that wish to preserve our existence? Is that what the "gods" are? Or could humans from the future be retroactively ensuring ideal timelines? Perhaps there are powerful groups of benevolent humans who have had a much grander plan for humanity the whole time? Interestingly, Megan Fox actually has a say on this matter. During an appearance on Ellen, she and DeGeneres got to talking about the History channel program Ancient Aliens. Megan Fox elaborated that "It's all about the theory that these megalithic structures were possibly built by—not necessarily like little green aliens, but maybe future humans that they call ancient astronauts—that did some sort of time travel. Something extraterrestrial was involved." If you ask me its all a bunch of perspective and no one can really claim to know the full truth. I think people accept what they can wrap their heads around but the truth is more absurd than any of us can fully grasp.

I am a Crazy Person

Personally, this is my least favorite theory but its a favorite amongst some of my friends and family so I’ll put it up here for them. There is a possibility that humanity is really just the product of natural selection from apes like our textbooks say and that no mushrooms or gods or advanced extraterrestrials had anything to do with it. There is also a possibility that all the conspiracies are just nonsense strung together by people with too much time on their hands. This would indicate that all religions are entirely fictional as well as all the texts left by our ancient ancestors. While this might seem perfectly plausible to you, this explanation still doesn't explain a few other things. It doesn't really explain UFO sitings, clearly the government is either withholding cutting edge technology from the public or hiding the existence of extraterrestrial life, or both. This also doesn't explain the amazing mathematical connection between the Pyramids and other ancient sites worldwide. It also doesn't explain why the government refuses to teach the hard research being done on human consciousness and why dangerous chemicals are allowed to enter our food and water supply. Having said all of this, it is still entirely possible that I'm a little crazy.

The Multiverse

This one is really what I've been building up to. The Multiverse theory suggests that there are infinite parallel timelines occurring simultaneously and that events in each dimension are playing out in unique ways. At any given moment when you are interacting with someone they are a part of your universe but before that you actually have no idea what crazy series of events resulted in them standing across from you. I'm not just talking about this lifetime either. This world is filled with souls coming from all planes of existence and parallel universes and worlds where ancient events actually played out differently. The Multiverse Theory is why I try to just encourage people to keep an open mind and seek out their truth. Don't just download mine because chances are we do not have the same truth. We each have our own beautifully unique understanding and we are both needed to help build a better world for the generations that follow. I believe the implications of this theory should ultimately teach a very important lesson about how we should treat one another as people. Instead of being offended when someone has beliefs different than yours, try to appreciate the wonder of their truth. Try to appreciate the possibility that their understanding of the universe could actually supplement yours and open your mind to even greater truths. I believe that each one of us has our own completely unique truth detailing our personal journey through time and space inscribed within our DNA and I also believe that we can access this truth at will by awakening our mind and looking within.

Important Note

Every person is completely within their own right to create their own theories and pick and choose between different ideologies. It can be stimulating to research and reassess your understanding of life. On a personal level, I am constantly questioning my current conclusions and I am always willing to abandon previous assumptions in light of new evidence. True understanding is a process and it’s one that I enjoy, if that makes me crazy then I’m completely ok with that. At Pyramid Realm, we believe it's time to kick some of the stigma around this stuff and encourage more people to have open dialogue. Let's push scientific and religious dogmatism to the side and be curious again. It doesn't have to be an argument. As long as everyones intentions are to gain a better understanding of the truth than all people should be able to contribute their own ideas and make their voices heard. We should talk about this stuff because it matters and it's interesting, this page is just my thoughts and I hope you enjoyed them. "The only true wisdom is to know that you know nothing" - Socrates.
