I sometimes have this thought about if we're living inside a virtual world and we humans are intelligently designed.
That thought often spoils my mind and my beliefs.

we are. This world is an illusion created by us.

This feeling is NOT something new.This has intrigued humans for thousands of years.
Please go back to any of your recent dreams, if you are able to recall any of them.. During the process of dreaming everything seems and is so real. Only when you wake up you el that it was just a dream and you seem to be back to reality.
Suppose , for a moment , you think or imagine that you are in a dream RIGHT NOW and what you write or read in Yahoo! etc. are all happening in dream, you can say that you are in a dream world and are waiting to wake up.
The people around you , the computer, the internet .. all tend to give you a feelling that THIS is not a dream but reality. But donot forget that when you were in dream, too, these same people, images etc were there and appeared to be real..
Your feelings are normal and there is no need to have sleepless nights on this.

Bull's eye. A marksman you are. You hit the white and shattered the target. Superb!
It is as your muse imparts to you.
Allow that your mind be spoiled if you so choose to call it that, but allow again that your beliefs should rise up to meet your muses. This is no less than indication of your increasing awakening. Give good credit to your mind that you have made it so lucid as to receive such thoughts, feelings, and notions in the first place.
'Nothing wrong here...
Do continue. Do not obstruct this procession, this, say, fine inertia.

like matrix...and it wasn't the first movie to present such an idea, although the effects were better than the one done in the 50s (or 60s)
beliefs are meant to be spoiled if they are not true, it is called disillusionment, and that is not a bad thing if one can proceed to the next step which is acceptance of truth...if something is untrue something elst has to be true...
and as far as spoiling a mind...my mind went to hell back in the 60s and 70s, and from what i see of society nobody has a right mind...

Do you mean that the world is a stage with you as the star. Does that sound like what you. Been there and done that, most young people go through that but soon you will learn that the world does not revolve around you. As for the matrix, that would be wild. If you want read about something very near to what you describe try, "The Lathe of Heaven."

Sure, and I stopped that a long time ago. The world has it's way of pulling you back into reality just when you think it's all a dream. It can never be too good for too long, not to sound negative, but as a realist, there are plenty of things that happen every day to enable us to relaize, it is no dream. It's best to keep positive thoughts, but you never know what reality has waiting for you just around the corner. Be aware!

The virtual world you are living in is called perception - which exists within your mind.

This is really an unanswerable one. If you want to take the really depressing view (a la Descartes) we can't prove that we aren't in a simulated world.
