Einstein once said, “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” What if science, philosophy, and spirituality have been on tangential paths in their pursuit of the truth about creation, each one stemming from distinct perceptions of reality but ultimately converging at a singular point of divine truth?
Undeniably, there are times in all of our lives when two or more seemingly incidental and unrelated events come together in a way that is so meaningful to us that it leaves us feeling a bit baffled, even overwhelmed. Perhaps a song comes on the radio with the lyrics describing just how you’re feeling at that particular moment in time.
Quantum mechanics postulates that nothing really happens in the physical world unless a conscious mind observes it. In other words, consciousness must perceive what it creates in order for that creation to exist. This can be corroborated in the dream world. When we dream, we create our dream and perceive our dream so seamlessly that we are unaware that we, are in fact, the dreamer.
Let’s say you take a full body holographic photo of yourself. You then take the holographic photo of yourself and crop it down to a smaller size so that it shows only your face. If you then enlarge that portion of the photo to the original size, you will not get a large photo of your face, but the original photo of your fully body. In a hologram, each individual part of the whole contains the whole in condensed form. The part is in the whole and the whole is in the part. This describes the phenomenon of string theory known as the holographic principle.
According to the holographic principle in string theory, there lies a deeper, more significant order of existence from whence all objects of form are projected. This source of form can also be described as a 2D reality where the laws of space and time do not apply. The philosopher Ken Wilber calls it “the holistic frequency realm.”
In Latin, the word holographus is derived from late Greek holographos. The root “holos” is defined as “whole or complete.” The holographic principle is a property of quantum physics and string theories which states that all the information in this three-dimensional reality is somehow stored as a two-dimensional hologram.
