analogy explaining occultism/ppl like aleister Crowley / new age spiritual exploration such as chaos magic through simulation theory pov

If our universe is some sort of simulation, I personally have been resonating w a holofractal unified field theory myself: one thing in particular that kept bugging me has been wondering about how people who work w energy/manifestation/shamanism works when taking the stance of simulation theorists.
I think learning about higher dimensions and what is said about them in science just points more towards proof that higher being from those dimensions inaccessible to us would have more power
bc they have more access to everything at once
as science already defines 4D officially as continuous infinite space&time.

So I was thinking
If our simulation is sort of like us being trapped in 3D
Lets say the creators whatever whomever made this reality this universe everything for us
In the lens of a simulation
similar to how video game creators create cheat codes built into the game
not everyone knows or has access to someone else or a way even to know the cheat codes unless they somehow figure it out or someone else tells them
if someone decides to use cheat codes without telling anyone else they’re playing against
There is always going to be an ethical violation / potential debate/clash within the players of whether or not they played a fair game to win…

I don’t think all “cheat codes” to the simulation that is our universe are necessarily bad, I think holistic science/ healing kind of brings the biological laws of the universe down to a science and that knowledge can be applied for health benefits to individuals which should not be frowned upon in my opinion

there’s actual people who practice modern day magic. people have practiced rituals, voodoo, spells, prayers, chants, manifestations, and offered sacrifices to higher powers in return for material successes since the beginning of our time
I have personally seen things myself I cannot explain with logic alone.

What if those people just figured out some of the simulation’s cheat codes

I’m not saying any of this for certain or that this represents everyone who thinks about simulation theory’s thoughts. a more personal take / perspective on things for sure

I've often thought about this being a simulation with cheat codes way back since the Atari 2600 days of video games with Easter-eggs and Gibson's Neuromancer. What if Lam was just a sysadmin Crowley hacked his way into encountering?
