So I've had these similar "ideas" or whatever you may call them, on lsd+whippet, and dmt. I was very convinced during the experience, and a bit after until memory faded.

One time it was gov't oriented, essentially I witnessed the programming we are all integrated into, and the people who run it can detect when someone figures out.

Upon reflecting on both of these, along with another simulation-focused trip I had, I came to the conclusion that these are delusions created by a panicking ego.

The ego sees what our consciousness went through, and says "nope time to lock this away into a box that you're not allowed to go into". Best way to do that is to attach some omnipotent power that will punish you if you open the box.
