2 Maccabees 7:28

“We are the priests of power,” O’Brien said. “The individual only has power in so far as he ceases to be in individual. You know the Party slogan: ‘Freedom is Slavery.’ Has it occurred to you that it is reversible? Slavery is Freedom. But if he can make complete utter submission, if he can escape his identity, if he can merge himself in the Party so that he IS the Party, then he is all-powerful and immortal. Power over matter – external reality, as you would call it – is not important. Already our control over matter is absolute.”
“But how can you control matter?” Winston burst out. “You don’t even control the climate or the law of gravity.”
O’Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. “We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.”

The challenge was to figure out a way to unpack and explain these four concepts, the metaverse, multiverse, the simulation, and the overmind, what they are, and how they are connected. There is coherence here and the best way for me to accomplish this is to start at the beginning and motor on through it. So, let’s spend a little time together so you get the whole picture. There’s meaning to this madness so let's dig in.
