So far in the previous Part 1 and Part 2 of this fascinating series, we examined the four types of possibilities of Why we were placed in a simulation and How, with four models based on popular science fiction and films such as The Truman Show, The Matrix, Inception and Charmed. These hinted that we might be victims placed in a computer simulation that is exploiting us against our consent, just as the majority of humans go on exploiting victim non human animals for various selfish non-vegan purposes. (I hope you do not and are Vegan)

However there might be other possibilities too, especially if you do not deserve such a treatment. What if we are not meant to be victims but somehow entered such a simulation design at our will? Or what if there is a Divine Creator or Higher Self who placed us here? Certain science fiction, spiritual and religious therotical models are examined below in a comprehensive way.

E) Total Recall – Voluntary Simulation Model

              

1. Environment

A simulation in which you have placed yourself into voluntarily, and one of a design that is agreed upon by you might also be so realistic and thrilling that one can be lost in it and forget if you are in a simulation or reality. This would be like a gameplay which is very advanced in Virtual Reality.

As an example, in the Total Recall film, a protagonist (Arnold Shwarzenneger) chooses to be given a false memory implant of visiting Mars as a secret agent and becoming a hero. When prompted to take a ‘red pill’ to wake up by someone from outside, he gets confused about whether he was actually an agent who had already been there and now being hunted down, or genuinely being guided to awaken, and decides not to take the red pill. (Interestingly this could also bewhere the Matrix filmmakers received the ‘red pill’ idea from).

2. Architecture

A world in such a high level simulation, is generated digitally by a computer program into which you are plugged in and given a false memory, depending on what story you selected. It could be adaptive with people or characters being generated based on your own mental desires, interests, and subconscious choices or likes and dislikes.

3. Characters

NPCs or scripted entities might be generated by the program based on your wishes, hopes and fears (such as the woman who was selected as per the protagonist’s desires as the one he rescued). Others might be present as a background or the storyline you chose. Real people might enter the world, if they need to give you a message, warning, or awaken you if required.

4. Objective

In Total Recall the simulation was an experience of travel to a hostile world, with a false memory implant issued in place of actual travel which was stated to be both expensive, inconvenient, and dangerous.

However in our case a simulation could also be:

• A voluntary training program to enhance skills, consciousness, courage, or abilities

• A stasis simulation for entertainment or passing time in-situ for example during space travel or cryogenic suspension, or

• A recreational or therapeutic experience designed for healing or psychological exploration

5. Way Out

In case it is a game of advancing in awareness until you transcend the adaptive simulation, one might need to complete the “level” as in the case of a training program, with levels becoming progressively more difficult just like in a computer game.

Or it may be a case of awaiting the time on the clock to be completed so you can wake up when ready, once the story or artificially implanted memory plays out. Alternatively one might be guided to choose awakening in case of an emergency.

F) Intergalactic Simulation Model — Ascension Theory

1. Environment

Such a theoretic model is based on a New Age concept that we are living in a multi-verse with various dimensions within nature. While we exist upon ‘earth-shan’, which is a simulation of 3D nature, space-faring beings or galactic masters of advanced spiritual and technological nature, exist in higher dimensions of 4D, 5D and above. Star Trek and Star Wars style scenarios involving alien beings from various races are what come to mind from popular fiction as an example to picturise what this might look like.

2. Architecture

A tiered cosmology starting wit a 3 Dimensional or 3D ‘earth-shan’ which we believe to be a physical earth but is a simulation and a training lab, that opens up into higher dimensions of 4D, 5D and above for those who evolve and ‘graduate’ from earth-school.

3. Characters

Galactic beings of various species, as well as Ascended masters who are enlightened spiritual beings are on the planes above earth. Descriptions include Intergalactic or space-faring multidimensional spiritual races such as:

• Pleiedian (spiritually advanced feline) who traverse space and teach spiritual truths and magic,
• Arcturian (spiritually advanced insectoid light beings) who work with sacred patterns and geometry, and
• Alderbaran (spiritually advanced draconian), who might be giving spiritual guidance and opening some portals.

On what seems to be earth or on abroad a ship we might come across

• Lyran felines,
• Avians,
• Insectoid Greys,
• Arachnids,
• Draconians,
• Reptilians,
• Sirians (Canines or Undines/ Chlodigans from Sirius A or B respectively),
• or Others and/ or their Hybrids

Controlling demonic entities who are Draco-repto coiled manipulative beings and shapeshifters may also mislead humans.

These might may present themselves in human form initially before they reveal their true form.

4. Objective

The objective could be a Mission such as,

• Learning and raising personal frequency or mastery

• Supporting other humans or non humans as light-workers, or
• Raising planetary frequency or healing the planet and its beings.

5. Way Out

Learning and raising own vibrations through ethical and moral lessons that aid spiritual progression or help in ‘graduation’ from the world-school are saught. Ascension on completing some ‘missions, resulting in returning ‘Home’ or to be back in a place where we belong and fit in based on our frequency or spiritual DNA is usually indicated as the goal. Reuniting with our species or star family, twin-flame, discovering our soul origin, timeline, destiny or career is associated with leaving the simulation.

The way out may be enhanced by genuine star beings, ascended masters or real guides, alongside a need for discernment and protection from negative, misleading, and confusing entities.

G) Creationism Model – Conventional Religious Ideology

1. Environment

This popular ideology is followed by masses of monotheistic public which make up the majority of humans on earth. According to them, one being (or vaguely a group of beings) has or have created a reality in the form of this world. This earth created by this person, is populated by various beings such as plants and animals of millions of species including humans who are given dominion over other beings and issued commandments or rules for their own behaviour too with the Supreme creator person remaining in-charge.

2. Architecture

A fixed base reality governed by divine rules is set as the place where we all live. Magic or supernatural ability may exist but is often forbidden to general public and restricted to prophets, messiahs, or divine agents (such as the only child of the creator person, or angels deputed by them). After death, souls enter a judgement system leading to:

• Heaven (reward of eternal life in a better or more comfortable world)

• Hell or Purgatory (punishment of eternal torment)

There is generally no reincarnation unless specific traditions include it, such as Hinduism in which the Creator is also depicted taking several other forms from time to time both on earth and cosmically. In the monotheistic faiths, instead of reincarnation, the dead human soul lies asleep in their coffins inside earth upon burial, until they are raised by the judging deity on a final judgement day and then taken onwards.

3. Characters

Humans being seem to have been designed in an ‘image and likeness’ of the supreme creator of the simulation (indicating that he is possibly in the semblance of a male human being). Humans created were a masculine being and a female counterpart created to give him company. Humans were then bestowed with powers over all other beings in the name of ‘Dominion’. Other animals are usually exploited, domesticated, herded, bred or killed except for some who are in the wild.

4. Objective

To express the mysterious will or purpose of the unknown Creator(s), Creation unfolds according to divine plan, with the creators intervening only occasionally (miracles, revelations). The Creator’s own origin and motivations remains unexplained.

5. Way Out

Humans have some level of free will but not absolute and are limited in consciousness, being made totally dependent upon the will of the Creator.  Rebellious ones are treated firmly. They are expected to be obedient to the creator or religious commandments. These commandments are written in books or scriptures that are accepted on blind faith in-spite of several inconsistencies. There is no way out in such a model of simulaltion, but only reward and punishment, as per the commandments or obedience levels. Perhaps not the best situation to be in for those who wish for free will and to reject any negative commandments or beliefs which are aplenty.

H) Spiritual Model — The Self as the Creator Who Forgot

1. Environment

The world is seen as a manifestation of the higher self or soul acting as the original ‘programmer’. This is in alignment with the mystical views based in Upanishads of Hinduism that the entire cosmos is within the self as the dreamer (Aham Brahmasmi). The soul (Atman) is equated with the truth (Brahman) upon self realization.

2. Architecture

A thought-responsive dream-world (macrocosm or the universe), is all around – one which shifts according to beliefs, emotions, and subconscious patterns (microcosm) of the individual. This is explained as all your own lucid dream and therefore a projection of one’s own consciousness in the form of duality (maya or illusion of many beings instead of one, just like a dream where several beings are present but all in the mind of the dreamer). The universe is a manifestation of Shakti or Energy, which is spiritual and manifests all Vedic five elements and all things brought forth in combination with one’s consciousness. Shakti or the cosmic Goddess is manifest as Earth or Laxmi in the form of a physical world that gives us all things, wherein the dreamer also incarnates in various forms.

3. Characters

Archetypes and projections representing aspects of the dreamer, populate the environment, including:

• Higher beings (angels, ascended masters, devas, divine guides) = Higher Consciousness

• Demons, shadows, evil spirits, and toxic people = Unresolved subconscious patterns

The dreamer is the Creator, appearing in three Vedic archetypes or Trinity:

i) Brahma — The Creator Aspect
The dreamer’s personality-self, projecting outward in this dream, with observation creating reality in each direction, resulting in shaping experiences from moment to moment. (Creator of the dream setting).

ii) Vishnu — The Preserver Aspect
The heroic or enlightened version of the Self, incarnating through ages as avatars to maintain continuity and stability across cycles of the dream. Often ‘he’ would be visualised as a male deity in Hinduisim, who stops apocalyses in order to save the earth who is his female counterpart or ‘Laxmi’ as an incarnation of earth to be saved from demons. These avatars are progressively evolving forms of non human and human animals, such as Matsya (fish), Kurma (tortoise), Varaha (boar), Vamana (dwarf man), Parsurama (axe man),  Rama (human), Krishna (magical human), Buddha (enlightened human) and the tenth awaited Kalki (superhuman who ends corruption). These avatars appear from one yuga or moral time-quarter of the wheel, to another, cyclically.

iii) Shiva — The Dissolver Aspect
The non-dual Self capable of ending or transcending the entire dream is our Super-Consciousness which is cosmic and unending and present eternally.

4. Objective

The Creator-Self has entered a dreamlike state with the purpose unknown, and the world appears within this cosmic dream that keeps going on in time. The “real” Self and the reality beyond this dream, both remain a mystery while the creator (Vishnu) is visualized as being asleep upon a giant world snake floating in waters, with the Brahma and Shiva being his own creative and transformational aspects within. It is said that the world would end if he awakened.

5. Way Out

Self-realization:
Knowing the Self as the Creator.
Recognizing the world as one’s own dream or projection.
Following sattvic living, meditation, and the eightfold path to achieve Enlightenment.

Final goal: Moksha (liberation from the reincarnation cycle)
Without self-realization, the soul continues learning through successive lifetimes and remains in the duality or illusion of the dream-world.

Conclusion

These eight models — drawn from science fiction, metaphysics, religion, and spirituality — provide different ways to explore the Simulation Argument. Each gives a unique answer to the question of why reality exists and how it operates.

Whether we feel trapped, tested, guided, or awakening, these frameworks help decode our reality and help seekers in our quest for truth.

As we question the fabric of existence, these models offer tools to interpret the deeper patterns shaping both our inner and outer reality.

Please remember that whether or not any of these appeal to you or make you feel better, or whether or not you believe in any of these ideas based on your spiritual or religious thinking or upbringing, they still may or may not be the truth unless you actually find out for yourself, one day. I hope I certainly do!!

Let me know what you think.
