Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world's most eminent thinkers — University of London physicists David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of our modern understanding of the brain — believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. This remarkable new way of looking at the universe explains now only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

a quote from the book.

"Our brains mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately projections from another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time: The brain is a hologram enfolded in a holographic universe." Michael Talbot


I highly recommend reading this book. You will return rewarded.

I just think if i look thru a telescope at the moon, then why can i see it even clearer than i could, and bigger and intricate details, than without the telescope. ALSO how would you see the same moon as me?

I am half way through it. So far I would say this is the best book I have ever read. If you look at the reviews on Barnes and Noble.com everyone seems to say the same. It reads fairly easy. The author illustrates key concepts so their easy to understand.

LOL @ Hologram baseball cards.


I remember from psychology class when we talked about the people who all believed the sun was some kind of penis. And they did a study with people more recent times who also drew the sun as some type of penis. So we humans do think on the same abstract track to a degree.

Yeah they talk about that in the book.

"One experience that led Jung to this conclusion took place in 1909 and involved the hallucination of a young man suffering from schizophrenia." The doctor was walking around checking up on the patients. Then he came to the kid who was moving his head side to side. The doctor asked the kid what he was doing, he said he was "looking at the sun's penis, and when he moved his head from side to side, the sun's penis moved and cause the wind to blow."

The doctor thought the kid was hallucinating. Then the doctor found a translation of a two-thousand-year-old Persian religous texts that made him change his mind. "It described one of the visions and said that if the participant looked at the sun he would see a tube hanging down from it, and when the tube moved from side to side it would cause the wind to blow"

The doctor concluded that this was not part of the boys unconcious mind that it must of "bubbled up from a deeper level".
