Is pondering the simulation hypothesis a dangerous illusion?

If the universe can ever be proven to being something like a multi-level Operating System, then the astounding implications will really reach the surface of the general level of reality perception.

https://bigthink.com/thinking/why-the-simulation-hypothesis-is-pseudoscience

If it can ever be proven that the universe has memory or is has something like a data storage system, there will be a new level of perception.

If the universe is part of an interactive projection and recording system, then the implication is that it's part of a running cosmic program.

The computer run simulation or cosmic simulation program, might just be an analogy to how cosmic data and information functions stemming from a much higher series of dimensions.

There is also a danger that if too many people just think that this world is part of a cosmic videogame, so then it's OK to kill each other & even war out the world into oblivion. 

https://bigthink.com/13-8/simulation-hypothesis-escapism

Well then they just might be missing the point.

https://www.space.com/universe-simulation-hypothesis-problems

Still, at a certain point, many people have noticed that sometimes things go beyond a simple coincidence & perceive it as synchronicity.

In some cases what are perceived to be ghosts in some kind of a time loop is also indicative of being in some kind of a recording and projection of a data MATRIX.

TLOTR: The Two Towers (1954-11-11)

 The original cover for The_Two_Towers depicted an ominous bird from a tower under a symbolic crescent moon that was heading towards a tower under a symbolic star. Therefore, was JRRT like several writers and visionaries, able to tap into a future event?

Title: Dust jacket design for The Two Towers
Artist: J.R.R. Tolkien

1954
This was Tolkien's final dust jacket design for The Two Towers, the second volume of his epic work, The Lord of the Rings. It shows the white tower of Minas Morgul, held by the Lord of the Nazgul, and the black tower of Orthanc where the wizard Saruman resided. The Elvish script running through the One Ring in the centre, reads ominously, 'In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie'.
Drawing by J.R.R. Tolkien. MS. Tolkien Drawings 90, fol. 29r. Reproduced with kind permission of The Tolkien Estate Limited for the Bodleian Libraries exhibition Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth.

WE ARE IN A SIMULATION - THE SCIENCE (Elon Musk, Matrix Theory, Virtual Reality) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccQPesc7HFs

If time and space are part of a cosmic recording, there are astounding implications about, The Nature of Reality. (TNOR) 

https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/15-irrefutable-reasons-we-might-be-living-in-a-simulation.html

Long before the digital computer age there was the idea of an Akashic database or cosmic hall of records.  

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/4/10/18275618/simulation-hypothesis-matrix-rizwan-virk

Many people have their own take on the concept of the Akashic Records.

https://www.paranormal.radio/article/reconsider_the_akashic_records

A cosmic recording and projection of time and space...

Space-time is in part, what holds the fabric of the universe together. The cosmic tapestry is so interconnected with this interactive reality.

Is it just a digital dream? If so, then what do people Wake_Up to?

Neo was starting to wake up in the MATRIX, especially after he saw a White_Rabbit tattoo. Then he had to go to a VR nightclub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjoad6gcRzs

There are many that will say,  

Why You're Probably Not a Simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA5YuwvJkpQ 

If this is the case, then that still wouldn't prevent some people from pondering how the universe might have data storage capabilities. Indeed, some theories of time travel could imply that the cosmos is some kind of an interactive recording and projection system. 

Traveling Back in Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w22CBE_9GI 

If this is possible, then it implies that there is a universal memory of space/time. The challenge would be to figure out how to get to specific point in the recording.

"Time travel is one of mankind's favorite fantasies. But what if it were possible to build a real-time machine? To travel into the future or the past? Scientists are now teetering on making that impossible dream, reality. Originally broadcast in 2003. Content licensed by DRG Distributions." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc9_ZFxMvMw

"What if time travel is possible, why haven't we met a single time traveler yet? And if we did meet one, how would we know they weren't faking it? What would their time machine look like? And how would it operate? Would there be a set of rules for time travelers to follow? And what would happen if they decided to break them?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipMwrcvukpU

If someone can go into the future, wouldn't that imply that the future is prerecorded?

"Whether time travel is possible is among the most intriguing questions in all of science. Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how time travel into the future is possible through Einstein's general relativity theory. Time travel is a widely recognized concept in philosophy and science fiction. But is it truly possible in real life? What does physics tell us about time travel? Is it possible to travel to the past? There are some physical theories that can help us learn what time travel is and how it works. Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the nature of time and the conundrums of time travel." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPSgO9CkSjQ

Of course various kinds of technology will be used to try to figure more things out. 

"It seems Extended Reality or XR is going to be the high tech that will make us feel like we are living in the future. XR encompasses a conglomeration of VR - virtual reality, AR - Augmented Reality and MR - mixed reality." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0QLVj9FJ0A  (ScienceTime/videos)

Reincarnation Perspectives

 Dr. James Matlock has an interesting take on the subject. http://jamesgmatlock.com/pubs

http://jamesgmatlock.com/blog

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/james-matlock

Here are a few movies that touch upon the reincarnation theme.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reincarnation_of_Peter_Proud

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(2002_film)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Origins

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation#Origins

All sorts of data and reports can be collected from the various accounts of reincarnation. Then various simulations could be created on the theory of consciousness somehow experiencing many lifetimes. The implication would be that this world is part of something like an interactive cosmic recording and projection of time & space. 

Then at a higher level, perhaps even beyond the perceived limits of the cosmos, someone or something might be running various simulations. Given the complexity of this theory, researching the various myths and Sci-Fi stories, any curious person can start to compare notes on the nature of reality. (TNOR)

Dr. Linda Backman on Reincarnation...

Dr.-Linda-Backman has been researching reincarnation and other esoteric things for decades.

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2022-05-05-show

The fascinating thing about the implications of reincarnation is that it's indicative of some kind of an interactive recording and projection for consciousness. 

VR and the Simulation Hypothesis can help to reveal more clues about what might be going on, but overall, it remains a mystery. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-live-in-a-simulation-chances-are-about-50-50
