Hologram Basic
The hologram is based upon Nobel Prize
winner Dennis Gabor's theory concerning interference patterns.
Gabor theorized in 1947 that each crest of the wave pattern
contains the whole information of its original source, and
that this information could be stored on film and reproduced.
This is why it is called a hologram.
Holography is the only visual recording and playback process
that can record our three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional
recording medium and playback the original object or scene,
to the unaided eyes, as a three dimensional image. The image
demonstrates complete parallax and depth-of-field. The image
floats in space either behind, in front of, or straddling
the recording medium.
The Holographic
Universe
The Universe as a Hologram
In 1982 a remarkable event took place.
At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist
Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the
most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not
hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are
in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have
never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who
believe his discovery may change the face of science.
Aspect and his team discovered that
under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons
are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless
of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether
they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart.
Somehow each particle always seems
to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat
is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication
can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling
faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the
time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists
to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's
findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical
explanations.
University of London physicist David
Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective
reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity
the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly
detailed hologram.
To understand why Bohm makes this
startling assertion, one must first understand a little about
holograms. A hologram is a three- dimensional photograph made
with the aid of a laser.
To make a hologram, the object to
be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam.
Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light
of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area
where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film.
When the film is developed, it looks
like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon
as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam,
a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.
The three-dimensionality of such images
is not the only remarkable characteristic of holograms. If
a hologram of a rose is cut in half and then illuminated by
a laser, each half will still be found to contain the entire
image of the rose.
Indeed, even if the halves are divided
again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain
a smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike
normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all
the information possessed by the whole.
The "whole in every part" nature of
a hologram provides us with an entirely new way of understanding
organization and order. For most of its history, Western science
has labored under the bias that the best way to understand
a physical phenomenon, whether a frog or an atom, is to dissect
it and study its respective parts.
A hologram teaches us that some things
in the universe may not lend themselves to this approach.
If we try to take apart something constructed holographically,
we will not get the pieces of which it is made, we will only
get smaller wholes.
This insight suggested to Bohm another
way of understanding Aspect's discovery. Bohm believes the
reason subatomic particles are able to remain in contact with
one another regardless of the distance separating them is
not because they are sending some sort of mysterious signal
back and forth, but because their separateness is an illusion.
He argues that at some deeper level of reality such particles
are not individual entities, but are actually extensions of
the same fundamental something.
To enable people to better visualize
what he means, Bohm offers the following illustration.
Imagine an aquarium containing a fish.
Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly
and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from
two television cameras, one directed at the aquarium's front
and the other directed at its side.
As you stare at the two television
monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens
are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are
set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly
different. But as you continue to watch the two fish, you
will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship
between them.
When one turns, the other also makes
a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces
the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you
remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might
even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating
with one another, but this is clearly not the case.
This, says Bohm, is precisely what
is going on between the subatomic particles in Aspect's experiment.
According to Bohm, the apparent faster-than-light
connection between subatomic particles is really telling us
that there is a deeper level of reality we are not privy to,
a more complex dimension beyond our own that is analogous
to the aquarium. And, he adds, 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 as the previously mentioned
rose. And since everything in physical reality is comprised
of these "eidolons", the universe is itself a projection,
a hologram.
In addition to its phantomlike nature,
such a universe would possess other rather startling features.
If the apparent separateness of subatomic particles is illusory,
it means that at a deeper level of reality all things in the
universe are infinitely interconnected.
The electrons in a carbon atom in
the human brain are connected to the subatomic particles that
comprise every salmon that swims, every heart that beats,
and every star that shimmers in the sky.
Everything interpenetrates everything,
and although human nature may seek to categorize and pigeonhole
and subdivide, the various phenomena of the universe, all
apportionments are of necessity artificial and all of nature
is ultimately a seamless web.
In a holographic universe, even time
and space could no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Because
concepts such as location break down in a universe in which
nothing is truly separate from anything else, time and three-dimensional
space, like the images of the fish on the TV monitors, would
also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order.
At its deeper level reality is a sort
of superhologram in which the past, present, and future all
exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper
tools it might even be possible to someday reach into the
superholographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from
the long-forgotten past.
What else the superhologram contains
is an open-ended question. Allowing, for the sake of argument,
that the superhologram is the matrix that has given birth
to everything in our universe, at the very least it contains
every subatomic particle that has been or will be -- every
configuration of matter and energy that is possible, from
snowflakes to quasars, from blu?whales to gamma rays. It must
be seen as a sort of cosmic storehouse of "All That Is."
Although Bohm concedes that we have
no way of knowing what else might lie hidden in the superhologram,
he does venture to say that we have no reason to assume it
does not contain more. Or as he puts it, perhaps the superholographic
level of reality is a "mere stage" beyond which lies "an infinity
of further development".
Bohm is not the only researcher who
has found evidence that the universe is a hologram. Working
independently in the field of brain research, Standford neurophysiologist
Karl Pribram has also become persuaded of the holographic
nature of reality.
Pribram was drawn to the holographic
model by the puzzle of how and where memories are stored in
the brain. For decades numerous studies have shown that rather
than being confined to a specific location, memories are dispersed
throughout the brain.
In a series of landmark experiments
in the 1920s, brain scientist Karl Lashley found that no matter
what portion of a rat's brain he removed he was unable to
eradicate its memory of how to perform complex tasks it had
learned prior to surgery. The only problem was that no one
was able to come up with a mechanism that might explain this
curious "whole in every part" nature of memory storage.
Then in the 1960s Pribram encountered
the concept of holography and realized he had found the explanation
brain scientists had been looking for. Pribram believes memories
are encoded not in neurons, or small groupings of neurons,
but in patterns of nerve impulses that crisscross the entire
brain in the same way that patterns of laser light interference
crisscross the entire area of a piece of film containing a
holographic image. In other words, Pribram believes the brain
is itself a hologram.
Pribram's theory also explains how
the human brain can store so many memories in so little space.
It has been estimated that the human brain has the capacity
to memorize something on the order of 10 billion bits of information
during the average human lifetime (or roughly the same amount
of information contained in five sets of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica).
Similarly, it has been discovered
that in addition to their other capabilities, holograms possess
an astounding capacity for information storage--simply by
changing the angle at which the two lasers strike a piece
of photographic film, it is possible to record many different
images on the same surface. It has been demonstrated that
one cubic centimeter of film can hold as many as 10 billion
bits of information.
Our uncanny ability to quickly retrieve
whatever information we need from the enormous store of our
memories becomes more understandable if the brain functions
according to holographic principles. If a friend asks you
to tell him what comes to mind when he says the word "zebra",
you do not have to clumsily sort back through ome gigantic
and cerebral alphabetic file to arrive at an answer. Instead,
associations like "striped", "horselike", and "animal native
to Africa" all pop into your head instantly.
Indeed, one of the most amazing things
about the human thinking process is that every piece of information
seems instantly cross- correlated with every other piece of
information--another feature intrinsic to the hologram. Because
every portion of a hologram is infinitely interconnected with
ever other portion, it is perhaps nature's supreme example
of a cross-correlated system.
The storage of memory is not the only
neurophysiological puzzle that becomes more tractable in light
of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. Another is how
the brain is able to translate the avalanche of frequencies
it receives via the senses (light frequencies, sound frequencies,
and so on) into the concrete world of our perceptions. Encoding
and decoding frequencies is precisely what a hologram does
best. Just as a hologram functions as a sort of lens, a translating
device able to convert an apparently meaningless blur of frequencies
into a coherent image, Pribram believes the brain also comprises
a lens and uses holographic principles to mathematically convert
the frequencies it receives through he senses into the inner
world of our perceptions.
An impressive body of evidence suggests
that the brain uses holographic principles to perform its
operations. Pribram's theory, in fact, has gained increasing
support among neurophysiologists.
Argentinian-Italian researcher Hugo
Zucarelli recently extended the holographic model into the
world of acoustic phenomena. Puzzled by the fact that humans
can locate the source of sounds without moving their heads,
even if they only possess hearing in one ear, Zucarelli discovered
that holographic principles can explain this ability.
Zucarelli has also developed the technology
of holophonic sound, a recording technique able to reproduce
acoustic situations with an almost uncanny realism.
Pribram's belief that our brains mathematically
construct "hard" reality by relying on input from a frequency
domain has also received a good deal of experimental support.
It has been found that each of our
senses is sensitive to a much broader range of frequencies
than was previously suspected.
Researchers have discovered, for instance,
that our visual systems are sensitive to sound frequencies,
that our sense of smell is in part dependent on what are now
called "osmic frequencies", and that even the cells in our
bodies are sensitive to a broad range of frequencies. Such
findings suggest that it is only in the holographic domain
of consciousness that such frequencies are sorted out and
divided up into conventional perceptions.
But the most mind-boggling aspect
of Pribram's holographic model of the brain is what happens
when it is put together with Bohm's theory. For if the concreteness
of the world is but a secondary reality and what is "there"
is actually a holographic blur of frequencies, and if the
brain is also a hologram and only selects some of the frequencies
out of this blur and mathematically transforms them into sensory
perceptions, what becomes of objective reality?
Put quite simply, it ceases to exist.
As the religions of the East have long upheld, the material
world is Maya, an illusion, and although we may think we are
physical beings moving through a physical world, this too
is an illusion.
We are really "receivers" floating
through a kaleidoscopic sea of frequency, and what we extract
from this sea and transmogrify into physical reality is but
one channel from many extracted out of the superhologram.
This striking new picture of reality,
the synthesis of Bohm and Pribram's views, has come to be
called the holographic paradigm, and although many scientists
have greeted it with skepticism, it has galvanized others.
A small but growing group of researchers believe it may be
the most accurate model of reality science has arrived at
thus far. More than that, some believe it may solve some mysteries
that have never before been explainable by science and even
establish the paranormal as a part of nature.
Numerous researchers, including Bohm
and Pribram, have noted that many para-psychological phenomena
become much more understandable in terms of the holographic
paradigm.
In a universe in which individual
brains are actually indivisible portions of the greater hologram
and everything is infinitely interconnected, telepathy may
merely be the accessing of the holographic level.
It is obviously much easier to understand
how information can travel from the mind of individual 'A'
to that of individual 'B' at a far distance point and helps
to understand a number of unsolved puzzles in psychology.
In particular, Grof feels the holographic paradigm offers
a model for understanding many of the baffling phenomena experienced
by individuals during altered states of consciousness.
Creation
- Holographic Universe - 2
In the 1950s, while conducting research into the beliefs of
LSD as a psychotherapeutic tool, Grof had one female patient
who suddenly became convinced she had assumed the identity
of a female of a species of prehistoric reptile. During the
course of her hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed
description of what it felt like to be encapsuled in such
a form, but noted that the portion of the male of the species's
anatomy was a patch of colored scales on the side of its head.
What was startling to Grof was that
although the woman had no prior knowledge about such things,
a conversation with a zoologist later confirmed that in certain
species of reptiles colored areas on the head do indeed play
an important role as triggers of sexual arousal.
The woman's experience was not unique.
During the course of his research, Grof encountered examples
of patients regressing and identifying with virtually every
species on the evolutionary tree (research findings which
helped influence the man-into-ape scene in the movie Altered
States). Moreover, he found that such experiences frequently
contained obscure zoological details which turned out to be
accurate.
Regressions into the animal kingdom
were not the only puzzling psychological phenomena Grof encountered.
He also had patients who appeared to tap into some sort of
collective or racial unconscious. Individuals with little
or no education suddenly gave detailed descriptions of Zoroastrian
funerary practices and scenes from Hindu mythology. In other
categories of experience, individuals gave persuasive accounts
of out-of-body journeys, of precognitive glimpses of the future,
of regressions into apparent past-life incarnations.
In later research, Grof found the
same range of phenomena manifested in therapy sessions which
did not involve the use of drugs. Because the common element
in such experiences appeared to be the transcending of an
individual's consciousness beyond the usual boundaries of
ego and/or limitations of space and time, Grof called such
manifestations "transpersonal experiences", and in the late
'60s he helped found a branch of psychology called "transpersonal
psychology" devoted entirely to their study.
Although Grof's newly founded Association
of Transpersonal Psychology garnered a rapidly growing group
of like-minded professionals and has become a respected branch
of psychology, for years neither Grof or any of his colleagues
were able to offer a mechanism for explaining the bizarre
psychological phenomena they were witnessing. But that has
changed with the advent of the holographic paradigm.
As Grof recently noted, if the mind
is actually part of a continuum, a labyrinth that is connected
not only to every other mind that exists or has existed, but
to every atom, organism, and region in the vastness of space
and time itself, the fact that it is able to occasionally
make forays into the labyrinth and have transpersonal experiences
no longer seems so strange.
The holographic prardigm also has
implications for so-called hard sciences like biology. Keith
Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, has pointed
out that if the concreteness of reality is but a holographic
illusion, it would no longer be true to say the brain produces
consciousness. Rather, it is consciousness that creates the
appearance of the brain -- as well as the body and everything
else around us we interpret as physical.
Such a turnabout in the way we view
biological structures has caused researchers to point out
that medicine and our understanding of the healing process
could also be transformed by the holographic paradigm. If
the apparent physical structure of the body is but a holographic
projection of consciousness, it becomes clear that each of
us is much more responsible for our health than current medical
wisdom allows. What we now view as miraculous remissions of
disease may actually be due to changes in consciousness which
in turn effect changes in the hologram of the body.
Similarly, controversial new healing
techniques such as visualization may work so well because
in the holographic domain of thought images are ultimately
as real as "reality".
Even visions and experiences involving
"non-ordinary" reality become explainable under the holographic
paradigm. In his book "Gifts of Unknown Things," biologist
Lyall Watson discribes his encounter with an Indonesian shaman
woman who, by performing a ritual dance, was able to make
an entire grove of trees instantly vanish into thin air. Watson
relates that as he and another astonished onlooker continued
to watch the woman, she caused the trees to reappear, then
"click" off again and on again several times in succession.
Although current scientific understanding
is incapable of explaining such events, experiences like this
become more tenable if "hard" reality is only a holographic
projection.
Perhaps we agree on what is "there"
or "not there" because what we call consensus reality is formulated
and ratified at the level of the human unconscious at which
all minds are infinitely interconnected.
If this is true, it is the most profound
implication of the holographic paradigm of all, for it means
that experiences such as Watson's are not commonplace only
because we have not programmed our minds with the beliefs
that would make them so. In a holographic universe there are
no limits to the extent to which we can alter the fabric of
reality.
What we perceive as reality is only
a canvas waiting for us to draw upon it any picture we want.
Anything is possible, from bending spoons with the power of
the mind to the phantasmagoric events experienced by Castaneda
during his encounters with the Yaqui brujo don Juan, for magic
is our birthright, no more or less miraculous than our ability
to compute the reality we want when we are in our dreams.
Indeed, even our most fundamental
notions about reality become suspect, for in a holographic
universe, as Pribram has pointed out, even random events would
have to be seen as based on holographic principles and therefore
determined. Synchronicities or meaningful coincidences suddenly
makes sense, and everything in reality would have to be seen
as a metaphor, for even the most haphazard events would express
some underlying symmetry.
Whether Bohm and Pribram's holographic
paradigm becomes accepted in science or dies an ignoble death
remains to be seen, but it is safe to say that it has already
had an influence on the thinking of many scientists. And even
if it is found that the holographic model does not provide
the best explanation for the instantaneous communications
that seem to be passing back and forth between subatomic particles,
at the very least, as noted by Basil Hiley, a physicist at
Birbeck College in London, Aspect's findings "indicate that
we must be prepared to consider radically new views of reality".
Creation
By Ellie Crystal
Reality is a projected illusion -
or hologram - created by consciousness thought.
It all begins with a tone and a pulse
of light that separates in 12 pyramds around 1 - forming a
matrix or grid of sound, light and color. This creates a grid
which projects the illusions of realities on difference frequency
levels.
The creational hologram is based on
mathematics that repeat in cycles called time. We refer to
this as Sacred
Geometry - the blueprint of our hologram.
The hologram is not stationary. It
is based on spiraling light and thought and is forever in
flux.
I believe we were created an an experiment
in Linear Time and Emotions - based on electromagnetic polarities
that keep our consciousness within the grids of the illusion.
We were created to experience within what one could perceive
of as an program.
There is a beginning and there will
be an abrupt end - the end we sense as an explosion. Yet it
is nothing more than the close of the holographic program
and the lifting of consciousness from its confines.
Mankind has always pondered the origin
of its creation as that is part of our DNA codings to search
and quest for a way home.
By its very creation - the hologram
can be explained by
physics as we come closer to the truth. Reality and the
illusion are all about physics and math.
Many people are of the theory that
reality is a hoologram. I am not alone. Neither are you.
