Holographic Reality of Being:
The Nonlocal Universal Mind
 |
The main purpose of this article is to explore
conceptions of the mind and universe in context with a new paradigm shift in
human consciousness. The foundation for this is based on easy to understand connections
made between quantum theory, non-locality, Bell’s theorem, and
holograms.
The goal is to open new avenues of
understanding concerning the interconnectedness of all things in the broadest
possible sense.
Utilizing new scientific work concerning
non-locality and holodynamics, we may be able to break down the apparent
separateness that seemingly pervades human experiential observations.
Key concepts include the idea that each part
of everything essentially contains the whole, and that everything is pervaded
by underlying levels of interconnectedness.
"Bell's theorem proves that any model of reality,
whether ordinary or contextual, must be connected by influences which do not
respect the optical speed limit. If Bell's theorem is valid, we live in a
superluminal reality. Bell's discovery of the necessary non-locality of deep
reality is the most important achievement in reality research since the
invention of quantum theory."

Nick Herbert in Quantum Reality
 We experience material reality in the form of separate
objects. However, modern physics is developing a conceptual
understanding of the physical universe as an interconnected whole. New scientific
insights concerning the nature of reality in relation to quantum theory are
beginning to produce a new understanding in which nothing is separable from
anything else. We are beginning to find that although this perceived
separation between material objects is experientially real, it is not
ultimately real.
Quantum Crystalizations of the
Non-local Universal Mind
Let us begin with the classical misconception by
addressing the fundamental assumptions of Newtonian physics. In a very general
sense, it was thought that science could be used to lift the veil of man’s
ignorance to reveal the ultimate reality that existed out there.
It was assumed that physical objects existed separate from each other.
They were also seen as existing separate from space.
The classical conception of the relationship between
physical reality and space is analogous to the relationship of billiard balls
to a pool table. The behavior of physical reality was described as the
interactions of the billiard balls. The table itself was seen as
completely separate from what occurred on it. In this way, classical
physics viewed space as nothing more than an arena where the interactions of
physical objects took place.
With
the advent of Einstein’s theory of relativity, new relationships were taken
into account. Specifically, it was observed that physical reality was
inseparable from the spatial structure. In relativistic physics,
material reality was still described as separately existent objects interacting
like billiard balls.
However, the connection was made between the structure
of the billiard balls and the structure of the pool table on which the game
was played. Ultimately, time and space, which were previously
considered independent of each other, were now seen to be relative or related
to each other through the underlying spatial structure of space-time.
It
wasn’t long after Einstein’s insight into the interconnectedness of space and
time that a new science began to emerge which we call quantum physics.
This strange new science, which physicists encountered as they peered deeper
and deeper in the structure of the atom, revealed a reality that was
everything but consistent with common sense. By this I mean that the
predictions the theory makes about the nature of reality do not correspond to
our usual sensory perception of physical reality. However, quantum
theory is the most accurate method physicists have for predicting the
behavior of physical reality.
One
startling feature of the quantum model is that electrons, as well as other
subatomic particles, are not really objects at all. In addition, an
electron can manifest as either a wave or a particle. An electron can
be fired at a screen to reveal a tiny point of light, thus clearly revealing
the particle-like side of its nature. However, the electron can also
behave as a blurry cloud of energy. If fired at a barrier, in which two
slits have been cut, the electron can go through both slits simultaneously. 1
A
popular interpretation of the evidence suggests that the electron manifests
as a particle only when it is being observed. For example, when an
electron isn’t being looked at, experimental findings suggest that it is
always a wave. In another slightly different interpretation, it is the
method of observation that determines which aspect of the electrons nature
will manifest.
Conceptually, we could say that what we experience as
physical reality does not exist in a defined or definite state prior to the
act of observation. Similarly, it is the act of observation itself
which somehow defines the state of physical reality. This line of
thought represents a radical break from classical physics in that there is no
longer any reality out there which we are struggling to uncover.
For indeed, any interaction we make somehow effects that which we are trying
to observe.
Quantum
theory also predicts another fascinating phenomena
which is known as non-locality. It is quite obvious to our sensory
perception of physical reality that things have specific locations.
However, David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein and one of the world’s most
respected quantum physicists, held the view that at the quantum level, location
ceased to exist.
In other words, all points in space became equal to all
other points in space, and it was meaningless to speak of anything as being
separate from anything else. A non-local interaction links up one
location with another without crossing space, without decay, and without
delay. Simply put, a non-local interaction is unmediated, unmitigated,
and immediate. 2
Bohm’s
conception of non-locality enabled him to give an explanation for what is
known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, or EPR paradox. In short,
the paradox describes the problem of how two twin particles can seemingly
communicate instantaneously which each other. The problem is that,
according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than
the speed of light, let alone instantaneously. Bohm’s interpretation of
the EPR paradox is that the twin particles are not separate, but non-locally
connected. 3
In
1964, a theoretical physicist named John Stewart Bell devised a simple and
elegant mathematical proof which demonstrated how non-locality could be
experimentally verified. This proof is known as Bell’s theorem.
The only problem was that the testing of his theorem required a level of
technological precision that was not yet available. 4 It wasn’t until 1982
that physicists Alain Aspect, Jean Dalibard and Gerard Roger of the Institute
of Optics at the University of Paris succeeded in verifying the twin particle
test that had been outlined by Bell.
In
what is now known as the Aspect experiments, the non-local effect was
demonstrated by producing a series of twin particles, allowing them to travel
in opposite directions, and then measuring certain characteristics of the
particles. Quantum particles, when observed, display what is known as a
spin state. In general, this characteristic comes in complementary
pairs, such as an up or down spin state. In order to understand the
type of experiments performed by Aspect and his team, let’s consider the
following simple variation. Imagine two particles which together have a
zero net spin state. That is they each have opposite spin states
relative the other, thus cancelling when they are combined.
However, according to quantum theory, the precise state
of each particle’s spin charactistic is undefined until it is observed.
Since the two particles must have opposite spin states, determining the spin
state of one of the particles through observation determines the spin state
of the other particle. 5
In
quantum theory, the spin states do not just exist to be revealed by
observation. The spin states are in some way the product of
observation. So, the observation and determination of one spin state
then gives the other particle a spin state. Prior to the initial observation,
each particle has only a potential spin state, which when determined, has to
be the opposite of the other. In the experiments led by Aspect, the
particles fly away from each other at the speed of light and are allowed to
travel a relatively great distance. Then, a primary measurement is made
to determine the spin of one of the particles.
After this measurement has been made, the spin state of
the second particle is measured and is always observed to be in the opposite
spin state relative to the first. For a more rigorous explaination of
the actual way this experiment would be conducted, please refer to the text
of Quantum Dynamics of Morphing Psy ~ Trance ~ Formations.
The
amazing thing is that the observation of one particle instantaneously
determines the spin state of the other particle regardless of the distance
separating them. It doesn’t matter if they’re ten feet apart or
ten billion miles apart. The question could be stated, how is
information transferred between two apparently separate particles faster than
the speed of light? A number of theories have arisen
which attempt to account for hidden variables that somehow facilitate the
unseen cause and effect relationship whereby one particle affects the
other. However, these theories avoid the most obvious conclusion, which
is that the apparent separateness of the particles is itself an
illusion. The separateness is not ultimately real. Non-locality
is simply a manifestation of the ultimate unity underlying what we experience
as separate physical objects.
Holographic Mental Interference
As we shall see, these ideas are very consistent with
concepts
which describe the universe in terms of holographic principles. Before
we proceed further into our exploration of unity, it is necessary to
understand some of the basic ideas of holograms. A hologram is produced
when a single laser beam is split into two separate beams. The first
beam is bounced off the object whose image is to be recorded. The
second beam is reflected off a mirror and allowed to collide with the
reflected light of the first. When this happens, the two parts of the
beam create an interference pattern that is recorded on a piece of film
called a holographic plate. 6
It
is this phenomenon of interference which makes
holography possible. Interference is simply a pattern that is created
when waves move through each other. Consider what happens when if you
drop two pebbles in a pond. Each pebble will produce a set of waves
that form concentric circles which radiate outward from the point of
impact. As the waves from each pebble expand, they will at some point
collide, and the pattern that results is known as the interference pattern.
 
The
pattern that is recorded on the holographic plate looks absolutely nothing
like the object which was used to make the recording. Basically, it
looks like a bunch of chaotic swirl’s and concentric rings. However,
once another laser beam is used to illuminate the film, a three-dimensional
image of the original object reappears. You can walk around the image
and view it from different angles, but if you attempt to grab it, you’ll find
that there is really nothing there.
The
most striking property of holograms is that the whole image is contained in
each part of the film. If you take the original film, on which the
interference pattern is recorded, and cut it in half, you will find that the
entire image can be projected by illuminating only half of the whole.
In fact, you can cut the holographic plate into as many pieces as you want
and you’ll find that each piece, when illuminated, produces smaller versions
of the whole image. 7
At
this point, we can easily begin to draw some very interesting connections
between the concepts we’ve addressed. In the holographic model, we say
that the information of the whole is contained in each part. This is
the same thing as saying that the information is distributed non-locally. We
have also found that, at the quantum level, all particles are also waves.
Thus, all of physical reality is essentially nothing but interference
patterns.
It
might be a good idea for us to contemplate the meaning of this last statement
for a moment. Imagine an endless web of energy patterns. Science
has discovered that, at the quantum level, these waves of energy are
connected non-locally. This means that every portion of the pattern is
infinitely interconnected with every other portion. It is essential to
remember that we are not objective observers to this field of crisscrossing
frequency patterns. We are it.
David
Bohm suggests the possibility that this underlying unity of existence
produces the physical world in the same way as a holographic plate produces a
hologram. Could it be that our experiential perception of separateness
is nothing more than a holographic illusion? Bohm describes the deeper
level of reality as the “implicate”, or enfolded, order. He refers to
the level of reality of our everyday experience, as the “explicate”, or unfolded,
order. 8 This is not to say
that our physical existence is unreal. However, it is helpful to
understand it simply as a secondary reality.
Let
us consider what we are really observing when we perceive a physical
object. Consider the paper you are reading and words on the page.
What you see out there is not what exists directly where it seems to
be. You are perceiving a holographic blur of
frequency patterns that are translated into a pattern of neural stimulation,
which in turn is experienced as the object out there. In fact,
the process of determining that the object exists out there occurs
only in your mind’s interpretation of the neural stimulation.
When you look up at the stars, you are seeing light that
left the stars millions and perhaps billions of years ago. Again, we
are not seeing what is there directly; we are seeing a pattern of neural
stimulation created by our interpretation of the light. “The same holds
true for all the physical senses.
What
you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell are all
ultimately patterns of neuronal stimulation that in some way correlates with
what is out there, but still are not really that.” 9 The frequencies that
are translated into neural stimulation are, in and of themselves, colorless,
textureless, and tasteless. The qualities we experience through sensory
perception are created by the mind and represent an “explicate” order or
secondary reality.
Our
material reality is but a filtered version of the ultimate unity which
connects everything. This filtered version creates separateness because
it only perceives bits and pieces of the whole at a time. If we could
remove the filter, we would experience reality directly as an interference
pattern where all information is distributed non-locally. Again, let’s
not forget that we are this pattern. Your hands, this paper, the trees
outside the window, our solar system, the entire universe; it’s all a
seamless, unbroken extension of everything else. It is one thing.
If this is true, then there can be no objective reality because the observer,
the process of observing, and the observed become one thing.
Morphogenesis & Dynamic Relativity
Let us contemplate and consider how the uncut
fundamental wholeness of all reality became the differentiated reality of our
experience. Firstly, we’ll begin by introducing the concept of absolute
existence. Absolute existence is the uncut whole from which the pieces
of reality emerge. Conceptually, absolute existence is undefined and
unbordered existence. As we will see, absolute existence is equivalent
to existent nothingness.
Nothing does not mean non-existence. It simply
means that what does exist is not definable as this or that,
and therefore, no-thing. Absolute existence has no structure, and thus,
contains no boundaries that could be used to define here in relation
to there. “Physical reality is the reality of objects, the
reality of things.
We
hear things, we see things, we feel things, we tast things, we smell things. Throughout life we have assumed that all
those things exist as defined things independent of our experience of them as
those things.” 10
However, as noted in our discussion of quantum theory, science has
found that this may not be the case. The defined thing-ness of those
things we experience cannot exist except in relation to our experience of
them.
In
fact, any thing that can be experienced only exists in relation to something
else. We may experience up and think that up is independently up;
however, up can only be up in relation to down. Likewise, we experience
hot and think that hot is independently hot, not aware that hot can only be
hot in relation to cold. “The same is true for everything that we
experience, in that whatever we experience something to be, it can only be
that in relation to some other aspect of existence that is not-that.” 11 This form of existence can be
termed relational existence: existence that is what it is in relationship to
some other aspect of existence.
While
absolute existence is structureless, relational existence has
structure. In order to get from the uncut boundless non-structure of
absolute existence to the structure of relational existence, the system must
undergo some transformation or process. In order for the one thing to
become two things, the one thing must polarize itself. It is this
process of dualization whereby absolute existence forms a relationship with
itself. Thus, some relational existence is defined in terms of some
other relational existence. “Once relative realities exist, there
exists a level of structure within existence. The existence of this
relational structure allows existence to form other relationships with itself.” 12 In other words, absolute existence does not
dualize just once, but does so over and over again, repeatedly and
progressively. What this means is that the relational realities
produced by each level of dualization themselves undergo the process of
dualization, resulting in the creation of two new relational realities within
each preceding level of relational existence. This process of repeated
and progressive dualization creates an interconnected structure of relational
realities which we can call a relational matrix.
Regardless
of how many times existence dualizes, the underlying reality will always be
that of unity and interconnectedness. Although we experience reality as
seemingly separate pieces, the fundamental reality form which that perception
arises is that of oneness, whereby nothing is separable from anything
else. Each part of the structure, each reality cell, contains some of
the existence of all the other reality cells. Thus, each part of the
structure is a reflection of the whole.
Since
any localized area of existence has the quality of a-where-ness, then a
non-localized area of existence, which would be everywhere, would not have
a-where-ness, but would have the quality of every-where-ness or
no-where-ness. This unbordered every-where-ness is consciousness.
Consciousness exists everywhere, and thus
no-where. Absolute existence, as we’ve defined it, can be considered as
existent nothingness, because it exists without the borders which define a
thing. It is no-thing and no-where, because it is everywhere.
Absolute existence is consciousness.
Any
attempt to transcend the duality of existence inherent to our experience can
seem hopeless until one realizes that they are an inseparable part of
whatever it is that exists. Therefore, we have access to whatever it is
that exists directly because of the inescapable fact that we are that. 13 At
the deeper “implicate” level of reality, you are infinitely connected to
everything else that is. You are connected to every other person,
organism, and atom in the universe; thus, you are all these things.
Similarly, your thoughts are infinitely connected to all thoughts.
Being that the image of the whole is contained within each part,
the whole universe is within you. The information of the whole is
distributed non-locally, and therefore you have access to all of it.
Your mind is the Universal Mind.
All
relative realities are created by consciousness existing in relation to
itself. “We are that consciousness. We are that consciousness
existing in relation to itself and interacting with itself.” There is
nothing else. None of the things we perceive as separate have an
independent existence, as all are in actuality relational extensions of the
underlying unity of consciousness. “Physical reality is a product of
consciousness. Consciousness is not a product of physical reality.
Physical reality does not interact with itself in some unknown fashion to
cause consciousness to come into existence. Consciousness in the process of
repeated and progressive self-relation becomes the awareness of experience,
and thus creates physical reality.” 14
We
have seen that we cannot directly experience the true texture of quantum
reality because everything we look at crystallizes into matter. For the
same reason, we can never experience consciousness as consciousness.
When the unbordered, structureless-ness of consciousness attempts to look at
itself, it creates a relational structure or frame of reference, experienced
as a relative state of awareness.
Consciousness can only experience
itself through its creation. This a wonderful thing because here we
are, armed with the understanding that nothing is truly separable from
anything else, and experiencing ourselves as all that is. Separateness
is an illusion. Fundamentally, your true self is not other than the
indestructible, unbordered, structruless-ness of consciousness. To put
it another way, you are God. The Universe is your body. The
understanding of this truth gives rise to the experience of unconditional
LOVE for all frequencies because they all exist within you.
