Hi, I’m Johnny Oops and I have a problem. Sometimes I feel like I’m not real. Granted I am a fictional character in a novel by the same name, but I still question my true identity. I question my very existence. In my case I think it is understandable, but what about you? Do you question your existence? Do you know if you are real?

Sometimes I feel like we are all bit players in some virtual reality world designed by the master of all out souls. What’s that they say about us all being God’s creatures? What does that mean? Is it possible we are being manipulated in some giant virtual reality game for the pleasure, entertainment, or instruction of some vast intelligence whose capabilities and intentions we cannot even fathom? Is this a test?

Sometimes I feel like I am operating in a dream. Other times I feel like I’ve been here before and done that before. Are we virtual characters who are reliving the same program over and over again?

Doesn’t it strike you as strange that so many of us look alike, think alike, and have the same passions? Has the same program made us all? Is the same software running our lives?

Let’s just suppose for a moment that we are all part of some gigantic virtual reality game. Who would have made it and why? Why all the conflict in this virtual world, why all the sadness and tragedy? Do we exist to the extent we do solely for the enjoyment of a master programmer, or do we serve a higher purpose? Who could have ordained all the random acts of kindness and catastrophe, or the quirks of nature, that are built into our lives? Where do our feelings of happiness and joy come from? Is there really any meaning to our lives, or is this all preprogrammed and the outcome predetermined?

I keep thinking about this virtual reality world we may be living in and have come to the conclusion that we shouldn’t worry about it too much because this world is as real as it is going to get for us. We have to learn to make the most of our circumstance. We have to learn to have faith that who we are, and what we do is real and has meaning. We have to learn to believe that we have a purpose. We have to believe that we can make a difference, and that we have been put here on this good earth of ours for a reason.

And yet in the back of my mind, I still wonder. Do you have your doubts? Are we replaying the same game of life over and over again in a virtual reality world? Do we really have any choice?

The best answer I have come up with so far is that I think, I question, I can make choices, I have feelings, and therefore I am real. What about you? Are you using all the abilities that God programmed you with? Do you have deep emotional feelings? Are you asking the right questions? Think about it. This is not a game. This is a reality check of your own choosing. The outcome is virtually assured if you just have faith.

Spanish Immersion – the Most Effective Way to Learn Spanish

Spanish Immersion – the Most Effective Way to Learn Spanish

If you are interested in learning Spanish, and money is no object, then the fastest and most effective way to do this is probably through Spanish immersion. There are a wide variety of programs available to people who are interested in trying this option out. They are available in many Spanish speaking countries as well as some non-Spanish speaking countries, such as the United States.

The reason that it is so effective to learn Spanish through a Spanish immersion program is that you are only allowed to speak Spanish in these programs. All of the classes are conducted in Spanish, and you are requested to only speak in the language throughout the entire program. If you are taking a course in a Spanish speaking country you are usually also placed for at least part of the program with a Spanish speaking family. This way you get to hear the language being spoken as it is normally spoken in everyday life, rather than just how it is spoken in the classroom.

Some of these Spanish immersion programs can actually be quite affordable, but there is a wide range in prices, so those interested in giving this a try should definitely look around. Some of the programs can be very expensive. However, the more expensive programs will have some benefits that some of the less expensive programs do not. The instructors will be more likely to have college degrees, and their may be more high tech options to supplement the classroom instruction. Usually these programs offer either one on one instruction or very small classes of less than 10 students. The extra personal attention helps make it easier to learn Spanish than it would be with larger classes that are more common in universities and schools.

While you will be going into a Spanish immersion program in order to learn Spanish, you won’t be spending all of your time in the classroom, so consider this when you choose a program and pick one near other attractions that you would like to visit during your spare time. This way you can get some extra enjoyment out of your trip as well as learning Spanish.

The shorter language immersion programs that only last for a week or two will not give you as much improvement in your language skills as the longer programs, but they will still be helpful and give you a great opportunity to use and improve on your current skills.
