The Holographic Nature of Reality

⁣In holograms, all parts are reflected in the whole and the whole is
reflected in all parts, so if you chop a piece of holographic film into
tiny bits then shine a laser onto any of them, no matter how small, you
will still get a complete image. The “physical” world around us behaves
much like a hologram. Just like a piece of holographic film, all quanta
exist as interfering wave patterns. In and of themselves, these
interference waves have no “solidity” – no definite properties or
location – just like the squiggles/circles on holographic film. The
image is distributed throughout the entire film, just as quanta are
distributed throughout the entire universe. Then when a laser beam (the
light of consciousness) is directed at those interference waves,
seemingly solid particles (three dimensional images) appear before our
eyes.

One of the first physicists to consider this “cosmic
hologram” metaphor was David Bohm who defined the universe as an
“undivided wholeness in flowing motion” which he termed the
“holomovement.” He dubbed the implicate order an undivided holistic
realm that is beyond concepts like spacetime, matter, or energy. In the
implicate order everything is fully enfolded or entangled with
everything else. By contrast, the explicate order world of ordinary
observations and common sense emerge, or unfold, out of the implicate
order. Bohm used a hologram as a metaphor to illustrate how information
about a whole system can be enfolded into an implicit structure, any
part of which reflects the whole.

For Bohm, atoms are not the
“building blocks of matter” but rather just a term given to one aspect
of the holomovement. The various forms we name, words and categories we
create, are all ultimately arbitrary because at the implicate level of
reality, everything is one. No two atoms, two rocks, two trees, or two
people are any more separate from one another than whirlpools are
separate from the river. The universe is a holographic oneness in
perpetual motion, both created and navigated by consciousness. Matter is
not separated by space and time; rather, matter, space, and time are
always already ever-present and one.

To illustrate this, think
of a DVD. At the explicate level of the DVD, you see a movie with
people, places and events happening in space and time. For the actors on
your television screen, they experienced everything happening in “real”
time in the “real” world during filming. But for you the viewer,
holding the DVD in your hand, you can see the implicate level of the
movie where all the people, places, and events on it are mere
projections of a single totality. You can rewind, fast-forward, slow-mo,
or freeze-frame the entire realistic three-dimensional explicate world
of the DVD because you are operating from the implicate world of remote
control. The One, God, infinite consciousness, cosmic mind, or whatever
you want to call it, operates at the objective, omnipresent, omniscient,
omnipotent level of the implicate DVD, and meanwhile us humans,
animals, plants, insects, and every other subjective entity in the
physical universe are method actors in the explicate movie.
