If your mind could leave your body,
whether as a permanent alternative to physical death or just for temporary amusement, and enter into a world that is indistinguishable from reality.
Would you go? What sort of world would you want to go into?, what would you look like?

I'm already in it. At least, it feels this way.

Definitely. I would let the world be as it would; it's no fun to go exploring if you already know what's there. I would be unrecognizable to anyone who knows me here. My image of me in my head is very different from the me that is sitting by this computer. It would be an interesting experience tho. If, as in the Matrix, the world shapes itself around my consciousness, it could tell me some very interesting facts about myself, my psyche, and my worldview.

I think we are already in the Matrix,trapped in a virtual prison ruled by religion, churches, priests, philosophers,social programing,. all whom believe they can extricate us.The one thing they do not tell us is how to escape the matrix, by a simple process of going within the self where the mind itself will lead us to liberation and freedom from stress.Jesus came to tell us the Kingdom of God is within us,but not many listened.I think the world we all seek is the state of being where suffering ceases.Heaven on earth wow!!! lets bring it on

The mind is indivisible from the body. And in any case there is no mind and no body. And, I'm sorry to say, there is certainly no Matrix!

Sorry to be predictable, but how do you know we're not there already?
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small

Don't do anything at all
