Spiritual Life Coaching - The Holographic Brain

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


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."

The quantum physicist, David Bohm theorized that tangible reality is not the real world. As it was said in the movie, "The Matrix," this 3D reality is the world that has been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. It is a computer construct of sorts. Another word for construct is "hologram." Bohm proposed that this "2D reality" is the imprint or "holographic film" for the 3D, holographic universe in which we live. Bohm called this deeper reality the enfolded or implicate order and referred to our 3D existence as the unfolded or explicate order.

One of the founders of transpersonal psychology, Stanislov Grof, speculates that if the implicate and explicate orders are accurate descriptions of our true reality, then "it would be possible to modify phenomena in the phenomenal world by influencing their generative matrix." In other words, if we could tap into the source imprint (2D reality), then we could remake the matrix (3D reality) as we see fit.

The neuroscientist, Karl Pribram, discovered that when the brain fires off neurons, it creates an interference pattern in the same way that a laser creates an image when it bounces off an object to be photographed. He concluded from this that the brain acts similarly to that of a hologram because a hologram is only visible because of the interference pattern created by the laser. To the naked eye, the hologram is only a film, a 2D object. However, when a laser is projected through the film, the 3D holographic image becomes clear. In other words, without the neurons -- acting as laser-like" interpreters -- we wouldn't be able to decipher our universe. It would simply appear as a flat film with no depth, height, space, or time.

According to Karl Pribram, the brain is a hologram that perceives, participates, and interprets a 2D reality into a 3D reality that we call the universe. In the realm of spacetime, things and events are indeed separate, but beneath this realm lies a dimension of unified frequency or vibration. In this frequency realm, everything is timeless, spaceless, undivided, and One. In the field of metaphysics, this is known as Cosmic Consciousness.
