Yes, we’re most definitely virtual.

You're right. All is not what it seems down here. Ever heard of the Elohim? They're the 'someone' you're talking about.
"Let
us make man in our image and likeness" - Genesis 1.26.
Who is this "us", to which the Bible refers? It's the Elohim, who resided in the Garden of Eden, (Heaven-Paradise - the spiritual and True dimension). Adam and Eve are the Elohim's descendants, who were in turn created in the image and likeness of God, the Father.
It's true that whilst living down here on earth, it’s like living in the Matrix. Even though most of us assume that this is the "real world", and that our earthly life is the be all and end all of our existence, there is a Real World beyond our earthly awareness. (Heaven awaits us beyond the veil of death.)
JC is supreme head of all Creation - the Heavens and the Earth - and the Angels and the Elohim are next in the hierarchy. We are Adam and Eve's descendants, who were driven from Paradise when they chose to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It wasn't possible for Adam and Eve to taste the fruits of evil in Paradise, because pain doesn't exist there. Therefore they had to "fall” from Eden to Earth in order to eat the fruits of good
and evil – and thus garner the full scope of wisdom. (That's what it means to "become like God, knowing good and evil".)

Ockham, someone is indeed marvelling at the realism with which this character, (me), (and you), are typing these blogs. There's a bigger picture, and life goes far deeper than most of us assume.
