Yes! Simulation theory actually perfectly lines up with everything. Actually, this entire thing is basically what the move the matrix is based off of.

Your last statement is actually what I came here to debate and question. If everything is a simulation (wether electronically or mentally) then that would imply a creator of some sort. At least according to the principle of cause and effect.

Wether it’s intelligent or not is up to whoever interprets the philosophy (Christians, atheists, pagans, etc), but the main point is that there is something. Many atheists typically believe there is no “thing”, so that’s why I brought up the debate here. I just wanted to see what people thought about it.

Like I said, I’m not a devoted follower of hermeticism myself, I’m just someone who’s been studying it lately.
