Are we living in a hologram?

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”- Rumi

This morning I made the kids a simple ipad hologram projector - basically a pyramid of cut up CD covers that sits on the ipad screen and projects specially made youtube clips from their 2D surface on the ipad to 3D holograms in the middle of the pyramid. It looks incredibly real, but put your finger in there and there is nothing there - just an image of bent light. But a true hologram is cooler than that. 

A true hologram is a two dimensional object in which any single part of the whole - no matter how small - actually contains the entire image. So if I cut up a hologram into tiny pieces, every piece would contain the entire original image. A fractal is similar. It is a pattern that is infinitely repeated as you zoom into any part of the image (for example, the video on the right often referred to as "The Fingerprint of God"). And as incredible as it may sound, science now tells us that the entire universe may well be a hologram!

Mystics from around the world and throughout history have claimed that the entire universe exists within them. Then in the 1980's Physicist David Bohm - considered one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century - suggested these mystics were correct - that the universe may well be a hologram. The Hollywood blockbuster film The Matrix was based on this idea. Then in April 2015, Austrian researchers ran simulations which confirmed the mathematics and physics of a holographic universe hold true for our model of the universe.

We already know that that every speck of matter in the universe is entangled and therefore one with every other speck of matter in the universe. We already know that the physical matter of the universe arises out of non-physical waves of energy. And we already know that the only thing that enters our consciousness is waves of energy, and that even that the physical matter of the universe only arises when it is observed! Is it that much of a stretch to imagine that the physical universe is simply a holographic projection of energy? .

But if this sounds scary, or fatalistic, it need not be. The holographic universe tells us that the entire universe exists not just in you, but in every cell and every atom within you! It sounds like science fiction, but science has already produced both fractals and holograms, and found them in nature. And if we can do it, why could the extraordinary mystery of the universe not do it itself? Clearly the hologram arises out of something, and it is the something that is indescribable mystery of the cosmos - the cosmos that You Are. 

Finally then, the holographic universe provides us is a power greater than we could ever imagine. The holographic universe means that any change that we make to any one part of the hologram we make to the entire hologram! Any change you make in yourself is made in every human, every galaxy, and every atom in the universe! Is this too much power? No - all you have to do is to love.
