I do not subscribe to the simulation theory, or what I call the "yellow submarine" theory, especially David Icke's version of what that is. Icke played a huge role in my awakening back in the 90s, but this idea that reality is a digitally projected artificial construct doesn't work.
However... that doesn't mean reality isn't holographic or fractal in nature. This has been understood by ancient traditions, especially Hermetic and Khemetian. Everything we see is quite tangible and objective. There are Laws in place that are in effect and immutable.
The 7 Hermetic Principles (or the Principles of Natural Law) are:
Mentalism All is Mind. The Universe is Mental. All that gets created must begin as thought, whether on the small scale or the large scale.
Vibration Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.
Correspondence As above, so below; as below, so above. As within, so without; as without, so within. Everything is a mirror of itself from the macrocosm to the microcosm, the greater and the lesser.
Polarity Everything is dual and has poles or opposites; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree (e.g. hot and cold aren't two different things, but different states of the same energy).
Rhythm Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall. The pendulum: the measure of the swing to the left is the measure of the swing to the right; rhythm compensates.
Cause & Effect Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause. Everything happens according to Law. Chance is just a name for a Law not recognized.
Gender Gender is in everything. Everything has its Masculine and Feminine principles. (e.g. the Left Brain is Masculine: logic, linear thought, math, etc, and the Right Brain is Feminine: intuition, emotion, creativity, etc)
If the Powers That Shouldn't Be are projecting some illusory reality, then why is everything they do anti-nature? Why do they push us toward artificiality if everything is already artificial? Because it isn't. They want us disconnected from Nature, from our divinity. The simulation theory is itself part of that ruse.
If it's all a simulation then there's no such thing as Truth, morality is relative, and nothing matters. Freedom is an illusion, Sovereignty is an illusion, Rights are an illusion, so why bother fighting for it? That's what this is all about.
Reality is holographic by nature (self-similar and fractal), but it's not a simulation. It's all quite real, and the psychopaths want us disconnected from that.
