NOTHING comes out of nothing. You need something to create something new - a generally accepted concept.
We find ourselves in the middle of a creation that must have started at a particular moment: the 'something'. All that exists must have emerged from an already existing potential. Just as all the information of an oak tree is in the acorn, so there must have been 'a creation seed'. If the seed contains all possibility, then one can define the Creator as imagination. If the Creator is imagination, then the world is the manifestation of the potential of the Creator, which means we are literally living in the mind of the Creator.
If you look at a topographical map of the Earth, then you would see continents, mountain ranges, rivers, oceans, deserts, and more.
This is what actually exists in the real world: a world created from the potential of the universe.
Within this world, the laws of nature apply. Every interaction has natural consequences. Put your hand in a fire, and you will get burned. These consequences can be seen as messages to teach people that there are rules within which this creation operates. These messages are not punishments. They are teaching tools about the laws that govern this creation.
Contrary to that, if we look at the political map then we see named countries, separated by lines called national borders. These lines only exist on a map created by human beings. One cannot find them in the real world. This is the first layer of what people have called the matrix. It is something we believe to be real, and we behave as though it were real, but in fact it only exists in our minds.
