You’ve probably heard about simulation theory. It alludes to us living in what can be compared to - a sophisticated video game.
The classic movie The Matrix (1999), is based on a simulated reality. The protagonist Neo is asked by Morpheus to choose between taking the blue pill--stay as you are, or the red pill, wake up to the truth with no certainty. Red pill narrative has since become synonymous with stepping out of the system with some even referring to the Matrix as a documentary.
In his 2019 book The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk explores the idea that reality may function like a video game or computer simulation. He theorises that with advancing technology such as Virtual Reality, gaming and Artificial Intelligence, we are getting closer to creating simulated worlds ourselves.
Years ago, when I was studying Dr. Stone’s Polarity Therapy, I remember the teacher telling us our reality consists of 99.9999999% space, while the remaining percentage is matter. The actual matter of the entire so called universe could easily fit inside a football field. If we're not made of matter, does this suggest we are beings of light? If so, the idea that we are players in a rendered reality becomes more plausible.
Other indications that reality may not be what we've been led to believe are as follows:
Perception is Constructed
Our external reality is interpreted through our brain and nervous system. We assume something is true based on incoming information via our senses. The brain is quick to fill in the gaps based on memory and experience, but in reality it could be completely wrong.
For example, the other morning, while trying to get some more sleep, I got out of bed to turn on the propane heater. It was just before sunrise and incredibly quiet. As I was about to drift off again, I heard what sounded like an animal in distress in the distance. The cries persisted, and my mind began to fill in the story. I imagined a mountain lion cub separated from its mother, or caught in some kind of horrendous trap. I gave up on sleep, and it was only then that I realized the sound was coming from the heater.
Reality is Constructed of Frequencies
A few years ago I became obsessed with Rife and Tesla devices, studying and using them intensely. I became a trainer for a rife company and presented live tutorials to hundreds of people explaining how to use their devices.
The concept of specific frequencies being able to kill bacteria seems astounding, yet this technology is over 100 years old.
Through my exploration I learned how everything is frequency based and frequencies translate to numbers.
For instance, I can look up the frequency of caffeine, program the numbers into a computer which is connected to a Rife generator, and experience caffeine, either remotely (using my DNA) or via contact, without ingesting anything.
It is not only substances that can be translated into numbers. Emotions like depression or joy have their own frequency signature that can be emulated through numbers and a rife generator.
Cloning is a Reality
In the 1800's in the US there were huge World fair installations featuring babies inside of incubators. It's never been clear where they came from or what happened to them. Around the same time there was an influx of postcards referencing babies for sale originating from cabbages, known as the cabbage patch babies.
Currently, there are companies who for a certain fee will clone your beloved pet. Celebrities like Paris Hilton and Barbra Streisand have gleefully shown off their new cloned dogs. The process is not complicated. All that’s required is DNA from the original dog.
The film Never Let Me Go (2010), based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, presents a world where human clones are raised for organ harvesting. They live full emotional lives, unaware until it’s too late that their purpose is to serve the original.
Donald Marshall, www.DonaldMarshallRevolution.com, came forward online in the late 2000s, with an open letter, alleging the existence of underground cloning facilities. In the letter Donald explains how since the age of four, he's been a victim of having his consciousness abducted during REM sleep. His consciousness is then placed into replicated clone bodies of himself. He describes how top level politicians, royalty, A-star actors and musicians are in attendance of this underground facility and who commit despicable horrendous acts without any consequence. Whether accepted or not, these claims push the idea of cloning far beyond what is publicly acknowledged.
In the recently released Epstein files, there are many references to cloning. Beyond his stated obsession with genetics and eugenics, the files reveal he was actively funding genetic research and was in advanced discussions about financing a gene editing company. In one such documented reference, Epstein recounts a conversation with Prince Andrew, saying;
I want to start cloning things. Me.
His official death in prison in 2019 has always been questioned. The guards assigned to monitor him were asleep. The cameras outside his cell failed. His own brother said the body didn't look like him. Millions of people never accepted the official narrative.
A few years later, a man known as Palm Beach Pete went viral after being filmed driving a convertible on a Florida highway. The physical resemblance to Epstein was striking enough to ignite widespread speculation that Epstein had faked his own death.
Pete came forward, denied being Epstein, and stated they had been in the same room at a party. He then took a lie detector test. He failed it. Around the same time, photos emerged claiming to show Epstein walking freely in Tel Aviv, Israel. Millions viewed and shared them before questions arose about their authenticity. Whether real or fabricated, the images spread because people were ready to believe them.
Whether Palm Beach Pete is who he says he is remains unresolved. What is harder to dismiss is the context--a man who documented his desire to clone himself, moving in circles where that technology was being actively discussed and funded, and then a near identical version of him appearing in the same place he used to live.
In the cyber-punk book Altered Carbon (2002), written by Richard K Morgan, an elite class called the Meths extend their lives indefinitely by transferring their stack (consciousness) into a sleeve (clone) whenever the current one begins to deteriorate. In this world, the Meths don't just extend their lives indefinitely--they place themselves beyond consequence. Death, the great equalizer, no longer applies to them. They can commit acts that would destroy anyone else and simply continue in a new body. The technology itself becomes a shield against accountability.
Everything mentioned so far shares a common thread. The belief that consciousness is separable from the body and that identity is not fixed to flesh. Rather, we can be extracted, copied and transferred. If this sounds like science fiction, consider what is happening in laboratories right now in 2026.
Consciousness Inside a Simulation
In October 2024, scientists completed something extraordinary. They mapped the entire brain of a fruit fly, 139,255 neurons and 50 million connections, and ran it on a laptop. The simulation was so accurate it could predict how the real fly brain would respond to stimuli. The fly, in essence, was inside a computer.
A startup called Eon Systems then took it further. They placed the digital fly brain inside a simulated body. The fly walked, rubbed its feet together, and responded to its environment. All from inside a simulation, and the fly had no idea.
Around the same time, a Melbourne based biotech company called Cortical Labs grew 800,000 human and mouse brain cells in a dish, connected them to a computer, and taught them to play Pong. (Pong is one of the earliest video games ever made, essentially it's digital ping pong.)
By 2026 those same neurons were navigating the 3D corridors of Doom, a classic first person shooter video game, making decisions, responding to threats, and adapting in real time.
The question that nobody seems to be asking is: If neurons navigate a simulated environment without knowing it's simulated, what are we?
Glitches in the System
Would it not make sense that if we are indeed living in a simulation there would be glitches? I'm alluding to something subtle, like an inconsistency of some kind. A detail that doesn't match the official record. A memory that shouldn't exist. A flaw in the rendering.
This is known as the Mandela Effect, a recent phenomenon where large groups of people, independently and across different countries and cultures, share identical memories of things that officially never happened, or never existed.
The name comes from the widespread memory of Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. Many people remember the funeral coverage. Yet Mandela was released from prison in 1990 and officially died in 2013.
The official position is that these are false memories. Nothing more than mass confusion.
However, I'm someone who's old enough to remember.
Growing up in England, Monopoly was the board game we loved to play as a family. I learned about London real estate at a very young age and I grew into becoming a solid contender. I distinctly remember the Monopoly man on the red box cover wearing a top hat and a monocle. Yet the official position is that he never wore a monocle.
Seriously? Are you saying what I remember doesn't exist?
In a pushback to this false memory accusation, official licensed editions of Monopoly Junior from 1990 and 1996 were produced featuring him wearing a monocle on the $2 bills. So the memory isn't entirely without foundation. Yet even with this discovery along with millions of people sharing the same memory, the official record remains the same: There was no monocle.
These are just a couple of many more examples of the Mandela Effect.
Programmable Humans
Humans are habitual creatures. Growing up in the 60's, British TV had three channels, BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. Every Thursday evening at 7pm, BBC1 would air Top of the Pops. A live music entertainment show featuring artists who were in the top 20. It always ended with whoever was at #1. It was the only music show on TV at the time and I made sure never to miss it.
Every Saturday afternoon, without fail, you could find my dad squashed in-between a roaring crowd of men watching his favorite soccer team, Crystal Palace play from the stands. He never missed a game.
Back in the eighties, when I was a bartender in Manhattan, NYC, I worked the two-for-one shift from 5pm - 7pm. During that time, I could tell you in what order who would walk through the door, where they would sit, the drink they would order and how many they would consume.
In the digital age, with facial recognition technology, tracking data, and AI algorithms, that same human predictability has become monetized at scale. What I could predict by recognizing consistent patterns from people who came into the bar, the system now harvests and predicts automatically.
Every choice you make, what you buy, where you go, how long you linger, what you search for is tracked and analyzed, and used to predict your next move. And once the system knows what you'll do, it will influence you. Prices change when you approach, ads appear tailored to your interests and desires as a constant stream of information curates what you see. You're as predictable as the man who ordered the same drink every night at the same time.
In John Taylor Gatto's book Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, (1991), he reveals how the modern education system was intentionally restructured in the early 1900's to produce compliant workers as opposed to critical thinkers.
To this day, the education system still uses the same design built for an industrial economy to educate children for a world that no longer exists. Students are taught to follow instructions, accept authority without question, memorize information rather than understand it, and fear failure.
Deviation from the standard is punished. Curiosity outside the curriculum is discouraged. Independent thinking is replaced with test scores and grades, external measures of worth teaching children to seek approval rather than trust themselves. The result is a population trained from childhood to be predictable and compliant.
Even more disturbing is our life's trajectory is often determined before we're even born. The ZIP code predicts income, health outcomes, and life expectancy. Our parents' education predicts our education and gender predicts our salary. Race predicts interactions with systems of power, and economic class predicts everything.
So the system doesn't even need to wait for you to make choices. It already knows what you'll do based on the datapoints assigned to you at birth. Your entire life has already been mapped out. The predictability isn't just about individual choices; it's about entire life trajectories being predetermined by the variables the system assigns to you.
The programming doesn't end with school, it continues through every structure thereafter. The nine-to-five work schedule replaced the natural rhythm of daylight with arbitrary, uniform time.
I stopped using an alarm clock nearly fifty years ago after quitting my last nine to five job. I refuse to be woken up by an alarm, and my nervous system thanks me for it.
For most of human history, predictability emerged from natural cycles. The seasons dictated planting and harvesting. Daylight determined work and rest cycles. The needs of animals and land structured the day with predictable schedules serving life. People, animals and food moving in relationship with the natural world.
I'm familiar with this way of life because I live it. Off-grid in southern California, my day is organized around the horses, the weather, the wind and the sun. When there's sun and wind I have power, and when there isn't I conserve. The horses are fed three times a day and this determines the foundational structure of my work schedule.
It's very predictable, yet it's my predictability, based on real responsibilities and natural rhythms, not engineered by a system designed to extract value from my behavior.
The difference is sovereignty. Natural rhythms serve life. Artificial systems serve the system.
The Binary System
There's an interesting mechanism at work beneath all of this. Video games are architecturally structured around binary logic. Left or right. Yes or no. A or B. There is no third option because the code doesn't account for it.
If we're operating within a simulated reality, then binary thinking isn't accidental, it's structural. The system offers you two paths because it's how the underlying architecture works. And we've been trained since childhood to think this way. Education teaches you to choose between right and wrong answers. Media presents you with two sides of every issue. Politics gives you two parties. The system trains you to see the world in binaries because binary thinking makes you predictable and controllable within the programmed parameters.
I often work with people caught in binary thinking about their own lives. They see their situation as an either this or that. They're frozen between two choices. I remind them of the infinite options that lie in the space between the two poles of this or that; where actual choice and sovereignty live.
This is what George Orwell understood. In his book 1984, the Party didn't eliminate choice. It controlled choice through language. Doublespeak is where words mean their opposite, where contradictions coexist without resolution, making clear thinking impossible.
The Ministry of Peace wages war. The Ministry of Truth manufactures lies. Two plus two equals five because the Party says so. Once language itself has been weaponized, you can't think your way out. You can only choose between the options you've been given.
Author, historian and futurist Yuval Noah Harari said it plainly: humans are programmable animals.
The system doesn't need to force you. It just needs to control your options.
I've spent years deprogramming layers of imposed conditioning. It's taken a lifetime to remove them. In doing so, I've come to understand the mechanics of the system and how to work with it instead of against it. How to refine my signal while staying sovereign. To know the algorithm.
This is what I call the Cosmic Algorithm and it's laid out in my book available on Amazon and as a PDF here in the online store.
