"Yes but how can everything link up, how can we be a part of everything?" A question often bandied about when trying to explain things such as coincidence, synchronicity, psychometry and so on.One answer is The Hologram Theory - which I intend to keep very simplistic!
We probably all know what a hologram is - it's a flat picture that looks to be 3D and stretches away to infinity. From various angles they can sometimes appear to be slightly different.
That's pretty straightforward.
But there is something strange about a hologram. If you cut them in half, and then maybe in half again, each section will contain the whole original picture. And if you cut the pieces again and again they would still contain the image - no matter how many times you do this.
The smaller the pieces get, the pictures may not be quite so clear, but they will still be there - just a bit hazier.
Now some say the universe is a Hologram!
The physicist David Bohm, for example, theorises that the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.
David Bohm tells of how we view objects such as subatomic particles as separate from one another because we are seeing only a portion of their reality. Such particles are not separate 'parts', but facets of a deeper and more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and indivisible.
Now back to keeping it simple. If we followed this theory - each part of us is the whole universe (God?). We are a snippet like one of those pieces of the hologram we cut up.
Everything interpenetrates everything. So when the phone rings and we 'know' who it is before we answer - we know because we are part of that other person (who is ringing us).
We may be a bit hazy, like those small pieces of the hologram but, perhaps, if we can learn to tune in properly, with the right energy, we can gain a clearer sight of the whole universe - and all things will become possible because there will be no time, space or separateness.
Okay, that'll do for now but The Hologram Theory would explain coincidences, synchronicity, telepathy, being in two places at once and so many other things. Maybe it's worthy of further thought.
Funny,as I was telling Trish,just the other day, that I was about to read Jung's
ReplyDelete"The Red Book","Siddhartha" and
"The Holographic Universe".
I had just decided that "The Holographic Universe" seemed the right choice to read next and was pretty much blowing the dust off it when I came across this post.
I've just finished re-reading Strieber's "Communion" and am half way through Wilson's "The Outsider",but "The Holographic Universe"
I decided yesterday was the next cab off the rank.
I'll just take this post as a confirmation that I've chosen the next book wisely.-)
One of the best and most comprehensive books on this topic is Michael Talbott's The Holographic Universe. He builds on Bohm's work. You've definitely chosen the right book, Daz!
