It's hard to imagine being outside of time. People wouldn't look slow unless you were still inside of time, rather we would see every moment from the beginning to present. That would fit in a 4D shape. The future is a problem, if everything is predestined it could look like the past. Or the whole thing could be 5D which would allow for an infinite different variations all showing up just like the Many Worlds predicts.
The general idea - there are lower consciousness evolving into higher beings and on and on but all are part of the same "All There Is" is always an inspiring idea. Jane Roberts and Seth use this same model. I like their variation where each "seed" is also connected to a higher entity outside of space-time. |
Thank you joelr for your comments. I appreciate being able to "vamp" off of your feedback and ideas.
You asked:
“Where does the hologram idea come in or what does it do better than any other idea?”
The hologram idea plays an important role because it lets us compare the outer workings of the universe to the inner workings of our own minds, and we can see similarities.
To understand the holographic nature of the universe, you need to picture the contents of the universe in the same way that you would picture the contents of a powerful dream within your mind.
For example, imagine having an extremely vivid,
recurring dream of a hike through a forested mountain range, or perhaps the Grand Canyon.
Each time you fell asleep, you would experience the holographic-like, 3-dimensional separation of the individual flora and trees of the forest, or the vast panoramic vista of the great chasm of the canyon.
I mention it as being "recurring" in order to establish the "fixed" nature of the information underpinning the dream itself. And keep in mind that just like in the "Big Bang" thought experiment in the opening posts where we leave our
physical bodies back on earth then exit the bubble of the universe with our minds, likewise, in our dreams, we do not bring our physical bodies with us. They are lying in a darkened room, drooling on a pillow.
In the dream of the Grand Canyon, there would be great detail and substantial distances between the phenomena occurring within your own consciousness. However, when you awaken from the dream, where exactly are those vast panoramic vistas now in relationship to your tiny head?
Obviously, it was all just an illusion occurring between the eye of your mind and the holographic-like field of information forming the structure of the dream itself.
Now let’s take that vivid dream of the Grand Canyon a little further (another thought experiment) and picture there being other humans within the dream; “tourists” standing on an outcrop overlooking the canyon.
Imagine that these humans, formed from the holographic-like essence of your own mind, are literally alive and “self aware,” with each possessing an aspect of "free will" that allows them to move their "dream bodies" around within the dream itself.
In essence, they are “corporeal” life forms held within the fabric of your personal mind.
You, yourself, being the creator of the dream (or at least the mind in which the dream transpires), will awaken from the dream each morning (move outside of it) by extracting your awareness from the features of the dream and projecting it (your awareness) back into your body and out into the universe.
However, imagine that the minds of the self-aware “tourists,” still held within the informational field composing their dream bodies, are still aware of the details of the dream, and can still interact with it. Indeed, the next time you enter the dream, you discover that the tourists have moved down to the bottom of the canyon.
To you, when you are awake and your awareness is no longer observing the dream, the illusion of the canyon reverts back to a field of seamless holographic-like information in your mind with no separation or reality to it.
On the other hand, to the "tourists," it would still be revealing itself in full splendor because the informational waves forming the holographic details of the dream, still exist in the fabric of your mind whether you are observing it or not, and the "tourists" can still collapse the waves into the illusion of reality because they are still observing its phenomena.
The universe operates under those same holographic-like principles.
As you look at the melon shaped bubble of the universe presented above, don’t think of it as being in this literal form as imagined by the materialists, with all of its contents existing as fully explicated, 3-dimensional “objects.”
Think of it as a "dream" in exquisite perfection and order, founded upon a field of pure holographic-like information that “unfolds” into objective forms whenever the awareness of consciousness (any consciousness) held within the dream, “shines” into the quantum and collapses the waves.
And just as the “recurring” dream of the Grand Canyon in your mind has continuity and a fixed structure each time you enter into it, likewise, the “dream” of the universe has continuity and a fixed structure existing in a magnitude of order that defies our understanding – all of which is transpiring within the mind of a higher (incorporeal) consciousness.
We are the “tourists” inside the spectacular “dream” of a fully developed incorporeal Being. And the illusion of detail and vast distances of separation we experience within the universe is the same illusion of detail and separation that the “tourists” within our own minds experience as they traverse the holographic vistas of the dream of the Grand Canyon.
And one of the most interesting implications of all is that both illusions (the universe, and the dream of the Grand Canyon) basically take up hardly any space at all down in the "oneness" of their informational levels. Space/time itself is merely a by-product of the conjunction between consciousness and the essence through-which consciousness expresses itself.
(Now of course the universe is not a “dream” in the literal sense. I am merely pointing out the parallels between our minds and the mind of God, and where the "idea" of the hologram comes in.)
Thank you again joelr, I will address the second part of your comment in my next post.
