Is reality a simulation of consciousness??

Mental-modeling explains the sensation of awareness. To survive in the simulation as human entities we use not just attention but also modeling of the information we receive through attention. If we're healthy (functioning well) we're constantly revising and expanding our mental models to accommodate the "reality" of the simulation. If we're unhealthy we're constantly trying to fit this reality into our mental models - usually, without success, and this causes our sense of suffering.
However, don’t imagine there is a singular me pulling levers in an operations room. We think we're acting the way we do for logical or emotional reasons or whatever motivation our brain concocts. It's the dog chasing the tail. We perceive ourselves to have agency in our lives while our lives are acting out before us, a chain of causation that is external and internal. If everything we do is actually a learned response, including all the cognitions and actions associated with it, our awareness is merely a byproduct.
However, I do not deny that consciousness exists, but it does not exist in the human brain. I entertain the possibility that we are role-playing in some cosmic sense. We're performers in a great production, and we chose our roles. I'm not a theist, but I accept the possibility that consciousness can precede and proceed physical existence. Then that puts the simulation in a wonderful new light. What if we are the higher beings who put on the simulation: a kind of vast role-playing entertainment to occupy us during our infinite sojourn in nirvana?
