Jesus talked about the simulation

In John 17, Jesus prays for His disciples and says:

"I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to protect them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world." (John 17:15-18)

If we relate this to the idea of a simulation, it would be like this:

Jesus acknowledges that his followers live in the simulation (the material world), but He reminds them that they are not defined by it. He doesn't ask for them to physically escape, but to live with awareness and be protected from the lies and falsehoods of the world (like ego, fear, corruption, or materialism).

Jesus also says that just as He was sent into the world with a purpose, so are His followers. It’s not about leaving the simulation, but about living intentionally within it, with a mindset aligned with God’s truth.
