This seems pertinent:
Does the existence of 8 billion working brains mean there are 8 billion different real players, or is there only one player, and this one player designed the human matrix to look like there are 8 billion decision makers?
Does the human face represent a real individual with free will and ability to choose, or what’s happening behind the face, turning the human face into a hyper-realistic mask covered and painted by skin and hair with the ability to show emotion and feeling ?
What if Even the result of your interaction or search with AI and a computer or Internet is also programmed?this deep level of programming and attention to even small details!Nobody can believe their interaction with AI or a computer or Internet itself can be something programmed. programming inside a program to deepen the illusion of reality. If a reality becomes programmed, then every interaction in that system is programmed, no matter how complex and realistic it could function,such as the interaction of a human with AI. A programmed brain is using a programmed AI with predetermined results, but this interaction is so realistic and complex that consciousness can’t understand it.
The deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the more you encounter Consciousness versus the programmed brain, with each person experiencing different levels of involvement. We experience the human matrix only as consciousness, either enjoying a coffee, or having a headache, or falling in love with somebody; it’s all experienced only as consciousness, which means we only understand the matrix and not really the doer of any action.
The illusion in the matrix is to bring the consciousness to this conclusion, that somebody is doing it. It’s like a programmed show with an illusory sense of control made for consciousness, which is nobody; consciousness is not somebody. The matrix is doing everything to make this feeling that someone is doing any action, and then any action can be claimed. That’s how the universe is playing with its own consciousness, by making the illusion of choice and free will as thoughts.
The whole human ability for conversation and make words and sentences are designed in this matrix to deceive the consciousness to believe , something other than what is happening, no matter how good you talk, and how much of the truth you use in your conversation, the reality doesn’t need any explanation as words to be understood, words are actually hiding the truth. No matter how close you talk about the truth.
Saying everything is consciousness does not mean anything, the world of religions and mystical paths are all play of words, and words and sentences are the main obstacles in your way to be conscious as consciousness, so no matter how they want to close you to the truth, still using words to occupy the brain, and cover the existing consciousness.
This paper presents an original theory on the nature of consciousness and free will, proposing that human life operates within a predetermined matrix where the illusion of free will is created through the interaction of consciousness with the nervous system, particularly through cerebrospinal fluid. The work explores physiological mechanisms behind this process and their implications for understanding religious practices, subjective experiences, and the fundamental nature of reality:

I think there’s something in this, though I am unsure of the complete validity of the proposed mechanism. Some counterpart theories have a different framework, for example: We are Made of Mushrooms - Eileen McKusick
This is somewhat connected to McKenna’s ‘Stoned Ape’ hypothesis that I mentioned in another thread.
Then there is some work around DMT.
The thing with those experiences is they are consistent and universal in the themes, underlying ones being independent of culture, age, background, etc. What’s interesting is such studies take us outside the default mode thinking framework, outside of the barriers imposed by language, and outside of ego and cultural conditioning. If we are to refine essential truths, arguably that is the zone that bears the greatest fruit.
What do we get when we ask: what are the most common perception and realisations that arise from use of perception-altering aids?
And: what are some of the common themes in spiritual and scientific discovery?
In such states we grasp where consciousness is and how it arises. The reports are uncannily similar in this area.
One distinction that helps me here is between recurring phenomenology and a universal metaphysical conclusion.
DMT reports often converge on motifs such as ego dissolution, unity, timelessness, entities and a sense of hyperreality. That convergence is important, but “recurring” is not yet the same as “independent of culture, age and background.” Expectations, vocabulary, set and setting, selection effects and the way reports are coded can all shape what appears universal.
Speaking personally, psychedelic experiences have made universal consciousness feel like a serious possibility to me. But that is a philosophical change in what I consider plausible, not public experimental proof of what consciousness is or where it arises.
A useful research programme would keep three layers separate: the phenomenology itself; the neural or cognitive mechanisms enabling it; and the metaphysical interpretation. Prospective cross-cultural studies with preregistered categories could then ask which features really replicate, including among participants who have not already absorbed psychedelic or mystical vocabularies. The convergence can motivate the hypothesis without settling it.
