Thread: So you want proof with my theory? well here it is!!!

Yeah I had a thread on this a little while back.

http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....ight=david+bohm

I plan on picking up that book soon. I'd forgotten all about it, but you just reminded me, so I may go pick it up today. Thanks.

well, let me give you a bit of an incentive, i read the first five pages and was absolutely HOOKED. so it's an awesome book. partially because it correlates with my theory so much.

Notes on The Holographic Universe

The notes you will see here are not my ideas, they are either directly quoted from the book or paraphrased with maybe a few of my comments also put in them.

1. Is memory stored localized of distributed wholly in the brain? Shown by tests with mice (by cutting out different portions of the brain) they can still recall the complete memory of a maze, meaning memory is distributed wholly throughout the entire brain at once.

2. This should go as well to every function of the brain

3. Holograms hold the information (image of, say, and apple) distributably, no matter where you cut it or how large a slice you cut out, the entire image will still show in every piece of the Holographic film (Holographic film is the film, like a piece of transparent paper or plastic, that looks like a bunch of ripple-interference wave patterns-), no matter how small or large (i.e. a small fragment of the original Holographic film contains all the information recorded in the whole)

4. The Holographic Theory has a direct connection to my Points Principle (semi-connectedness).

5. Vision is also performed and stored distributably.

6. “Whole in every part”

7. Is there a way to ‘decode’ the information of the brain to actually transfer and replay a ‘person’ on a computer?

8. A Hologram shows a lot of info in both small and large pieces.

9. The angle by which you shine a laser could determine whether or not the image will show up; analogous to remembering and forgetting.

10. Shufflebrain by Paul Pietsh is a book of experiments done to prove the Holographic Brain Theory.

11. Jean B.J. Fourier invented a form of calculus to convert any pattern, no matter how complex, into a language of simple waves.

12. Dennis Gabor used ‘Fourier Transforms’ to discover a way to transform patterns into frequencies and back into patterns again.

13. Russel and Karen DeValois discovered that the visual cortex reads not the original patterns, but to the Fourier translations of the patters. Only one conclusion could be drawn. The brain was using Fourier mathematics-the same mathematics holography employed-to convert visual images into the Fourier language of waveforms (frequency interference wave patterns).

14. Nikolai Bernstein put people I black leotards and painted white dots on various joints (elbows, knees, wrists, and legs) and placed them against a black screen and recorded them dancing or doing other motions. Only seeing the dots, he then converted the patters they created to wave form with Fourier Translations, enabling a prediction of the next movement up to a fraction of an inch, meaning that the brain doesn’t lean function by memorizing every feature of the process, but by grasping the whole fluid motion (i.e. Holographic brain extends to the body as a whole).

15. Which is the true reality, the seemingly objective world experienced by the observer/photographer or the blur of interference patterns recorded by the camera/brain?

16. Matter at its most basic form literally has no dimension.

17. All subatomic particles have a double property (waves and particles in form); as well as things once thought to manifest exclusively as waves.

18. Light, gamma rays, radio waves, X rays-all can change form waves to particles and back again.

19. Quanta (plural form of Quantum) is something that has both a wave and particle function.

20. The only time quanta manifests as particles is when we look at them (Niels Bohr).

21. Everything is interconnected, meaning that everything is ‘communicating’ instantaneously, also proving my ‘Points Principle’.

22. Plamons are ‘seas’ of electrons in a plasma where the electrons seem to act more like a whole instead of an individual, actually encasing ‘impurities’ like a living organism.

23. Causality and Chance in Modern Physics is a book outlining arguments with Bohm and the scientific community about Bohm’s views of quantum theory and Bohr’s views.

24. ‘Quantum Potential’ is Bohm’s field of energy that is like gravity, but unlike gravitational fields, magnetic fields, and so on, its influence did not diminish with distance and it effects were subtle, but were equally powerful everywhere (sort of like Z.P.E.-Zero Point Energy)

25. *The Quantum Potential, operating at sub-quantum levels, has no sense of location, “All points in space become equal to all other points in space, and was meaningless to speak of anything as being separate from anything else. Physicists call this ‘nonlocality’.”

26. The reasons why the two photons emitted by the positronium atom decay (electron and positron fused together)-photons are equal in connection though distance grows-is because they are 2 in the same (the same object in two places), which is also why Plasmons act the way they do. (Fish and tank analogy-two cameras on a fish at two angles, when one moves, the other does as well, but in a different way, seems like two fish communicating to a person who doesn’t know it’s not two different fish).

27. The Aharonov-Bohm effect is where an electron can ‘feel’ the presence of a magnetic filed in a region where there is zero probability of finding an electron, meaning that the electron exists there sub-quantumly (nonlocality).

28. What are the differences in order and randomness? One seems ordered to the naked eye, the other doesn’t but is.

29. Ink-in-glycerin device is a device of a jar encasing a cylinder with glycerin liquid between them. When turned, an ink droplet disappears, but when turned back, the droplet reappears.

30. Wholeness and the Implicate Order is an article written by Bohm explaining the Holographic properties of the universe.

31. Things in reality are of different order; ‘Implicate’ (enfolded deeper level of reality) and ‘explicate’ (unfolded simpler level of reality).

32. When an electron is detected, it is because that aspect of the quantum potential has become explicate. So when an electron appears to be moving, it’s really just a series of unfoldings and enfoldings.

33. When a particle appears to be destroyed, it’s simply returned (implicate) to the whole order.

34. Enfoldings and unfoldings moment by moment create our universe; so the universe is not a hologram as much as is a ‘holomovement’.

35. If the universe is organized according to Holographic properties, it too is expected to have nonlocal properties.

36. Bohm believes it is meaningless to view things in the universe as composed of ‘parts’ (i.e.-subatomic particles, planets as compared to solar systems, galaxies, and the such). Basically, the difference between you and any other object is simply meaningless, because, essentially, you both are the same thing; part of a larger ‘whole’. Though they are part of this larger whole (explicate and implicate orders blend into each other), things can be part of an undivided whole and still possess their own unique qualities.

37. Instead of calling different aspects of the holomovement ‘things’, rather, ‘relatively independent subtotalities’.

38. Bohm believes that consciousness is a more subtle form of matter.

39. The observer IS the observed, the measuring device, experimental results, laboratory, and everything else in the universe.

40. Just as every portion of the hologram contains the image of the whole, every portion of the whole enfolds the whole. This means that distance or speed is irrelevant; teleportation is a very real possibility.

41. When physicists calculate the minimum amount of energy a wave can possess, they find that every cubic centimeter of empty space contains more energy than the total energy of all the matter in the known universe.

42. Matter does not exist independently from the sea of energy; from so-called ‘empty space’ it is part of space.

43. Analogy-“A crystal cooled to absolute zero will allow a stream of electrons to pass through it w/o scattering them. If the temperature is raised, various flaws in the crystal will lose their transparency, so to speak, and begin to scatter the electrons. From an electron’s point of view, such flaws would appear as pieces of ‘matter’ floating in a sea of nothingness, but this is not the case. The nothingness and pieces of matter do not exist independently form one another they are both part of the same fabric, the deeper order of the crystal.”

44. Bohm believes the same is true at out own level of existence. Space is not empty. It is FULL, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy; it is a ripple on its surface, a comparatively small ‘pattern of excitation’ in the midst of an unimaginably vast ocean. “This excitation pattern is relatively autonomous and gives rise to approximately recurrent stable and separable projections into a 3-d explicate order of manifestation,” states Bohm. In other words, despite its apparent materialality and enormous size, the universe does not exist in and of itself, but is the stepchild of something far vaster and more ineffable. More than that; it is not even a major production of this vaster something, but is only a passing shadow, a mere hiccup, in the greater scheme of things.

45. This Infinite sea of energy is not all that is enfolded in the implicate order. Because the implicate order is the foundation that has given birth to everything in our universe, at the very least it also contains every subatomic particle that has been or ever will be; every configuration of matter, energy, life, consciousness that is possible, from quasars to the brain of Shakespeare, from the double helix, to the forces that control the sizes and shapes of galaxies. And even this is not all it may contain. Bohm concedes that there is no reason to believe that implicate order is the end of things. There may be other undreamed of orders beyond it, infinite stages of further development.

46. Everything we see, physical objects to light itself we perceive in reality are composed of interference patters, a fact that has undeniable holographic implications. It has been seen that all particles are also waves, and space is filled with light and other electromagnetic waves that constantly crisscross one another.

47. In an experiment in 1982 physicists Alain Aspect, Jean Dalibard, and Gerard Roger of the Institute of Optics at the University of Paris succeeded in producing twin photons from the two particles (i.e. note 26). By heating calcium atoms with lasers they allowed each photon to travel in opposite directions through 6.5 meters of pipe and pass through special filters that directed them toward one of two possible polarization analyzers. It took each filter 10 billionths of a second less than it took for light to travel the entire 13 meters separating each set of photons in this way Aspect and his colleagues were able to rule out any possibility of the photons communicating through any known physical process. Aspect and his team discovered that, as quantum theory predicted, each photon was still able to correlate its angle of polarization with that of its twin. This meant that either Einstein’s ban against faster-than-light communication was being violated, or the two photons were nonlocally connected. Because most physicists are opposed to admitting faster-than-light processes into physics, Aspect’s experiment is virtual proof that the connection between the two photons is nonlocal.

48. Physicist Paul Davis of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England observes, since all particles are continually interacting and separating, “the nonlocal aspects of quantum systems is therefore a general property of nature”.

49. 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.

50. Again, what is real, the universe that we see after our brains turn the interference signals of the larger hologram universe (using Fourier Transforms/Mathematics), of the original hologram itself, the interference patterns? If we were able to see through this set of ‘lenses’ we have that transforms interference patterns from the universe into images and senses (such as a chair or a cup, or heat, or coldness, or even a smell or touch) we would see nothing but interference patterns around us.

51. The difficulty with understanding this is that we are not only looking at the hologram, but we are part of it ourselves.

The Notes 1 to 51 go from Pages One to Pages fifty-five in the book. The next series of notes will begin on chapter three and end on chapter six.

52. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s concept of ‘Collective Consciousness’ was found when Jung looked closely at his patients’ dreams, artwork, fantasies, and hallucinations. They were not products of their personal history, rather, they closely resembled images and themes of the world’s great mythologies and religions, saying that they all sprung form the same source, a collective unconscious that is shared by all people.

53. An Experience that led Jung to this conclusion was in 1906 when a hallucination of a young man suffering from paranoid schizophrenia occurred. The man was staring at the sun and moving his head from side to side in a suspicious manor. When asked what he was doing, the man replied that he was looking at the sun’s penis and when he moved his head from side to side, the sun’s penis moved and caused the wind to blow. At the time, it was viewed as a simple hallucination, but several years later he came across a 2,000 year old Persian religious text that said in series of rituals and invocations designed to bring on visions that one of the visions was 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 die it would cause the wind to blow. Since circumstances made it extremely unlikely the man had any contact with the text containing the ritual, Jung concluded that the man’s vision was not simply a product of his unconscious mind, but had bubbled up from a deeper level, from a collective unconscious of the human race itself.

54. Jung called these images and visions archetypes.

55. Using nonlocality (proven to exist by the experiment by Aspect in 1982) from quantum mechanics (that in a universe in which all things are infinitely interconnected) all consciousnesses are also interconnected.

56. Personal Resonance, explained by Psychologist Robert M. Anderson, is when we are only able to tap into information in the implicate order that is directly relevant to our memories, which is why, if we are all interconnected through reality and should be walking encyclopedias, we do not always know everything of the such unless it applies to our own experiences and memories.

57. Analogy-a tuning fork will resonate with (or set up a vibration in) another tuning fork only if the second tuning fork possesses a similar structure, shape, and size.

58. Dreams are a way for a lot of these signals to be found. In several cases Psychiatrist Montague Ullman has found that dreams can tell you of problems in your life or in others’ lives. For example, some of his tests were to have one person sleep in a room and another person in a completely different room focus on a painting and try to ‘project’ the painting to the person sleeping. When that person awoke, they had had a dream that closely resembled the painting and the things it portrayed. He also found that we are a lot wiser in our dreams that we are in real life. He has found that a dream can sometimes tell of a problem in your life, even if the person having the dream is selfish, mean, arrogant, exploitative, and manipulative (completely unenlightened), they often have dreams (and on multiple occasions, reoccurring dreams) that invariably depict their failings honestly and contain metaphors that seem designed to prod them gently into a state of greater self-awareness. He has also found that this self-monitoring process is not only working for the individual, but for the survival of the entire species.

59. Where is the source of this unending flow of wisdom that bubbles up in our dreams? Perhaps it is the origin of this greater fund of knowledge. Perhaps dreams are a bridge between the perceptual and nonmanifest orders and represents a ‘natural transformation of the implicate into the explicate’.

60. The experiences mystics have reported throughout the ages-such as feelings of cosmic oneness with the universe, a sense of unity with all life, and so forth-sound very much like descriptions of the implicate order. It is suggested that perhaps mystics are somehow able to peer beyond ordinary explicate reality and glimpse its deeper, more holographic qualities. Ullman believes that psychotics are also able to experience certain aspects of the holographic level of reality, but because they are unable to order their experiences rationally, glimpses are only tragic parodies of the ones reported by mystics.

61. Schizophrenics often report oceanic feelings of oneness with the universe, but in a magical, delusional way. They describe feeling a loss of boundaries between themselves and others, a belief that leads them to think their thoughts are no longer private. They believe that they are able to read the thoughts of others. And instead of viewing people, objects, and concepts as individual things, they often view them as members of larger and larger subclasses, a tendency that seems to be a way of expressing the holographic quality of the reality in which they find themselves.

62. To Schizophrenics, the sense of distance, locations, and spatial (and time) relationships cease to have any meaning, just like the holographic film. So, if ‘your head is over your shoulders’ then to them it is also ‘your shoulders are above your head’.

63. In 1987 Physicist Fred Wolf delivered a talk in which he asserted that the holographic model may help explain lucid dreams (dreams in which the dreamer is awake, can manipulate the dream completely and even summon people or situations in the dream). He points out that a piece of holographic film actually generates two images, a virtual image that appears to be in the space behind the film, and a real image that comes into focus in the space in front of the film. One difference between he two is that the light waves that compose a virtual image seem to be diverging from an apparent focus or source. As seen, this is an illusion, for the virtual image of a hologram has no more extension in space than does the image in a mirror. But the real image of a hologram is formed by light waves that are coming to a focus, and this is not an illusion. The real image does possess extension in space, unfortunately, little attention is paid to this real image in the usual applications of holography because an image that comes into focus in empty air is invisible and can only be seen when dust or smoke passes through it.

64. Wolf believe that all dreams are internal holograms, and ordinary dreams are less vivid that lucid dreams because they are virtual images. However, he thinks the brain also has the ability to generate real images, and that is exactly what it does when we are dreaming lucidly.

65. The unusual vibrancy of the lucid dream is due to the fact that the waves are converging and not diverging. “If there is a ‘viewer’ where these waves focus, that viewer will be bathed in the scene, and the scene coming to a focus will ‘contain’ him. In this way the dream experience will appear ‘lucid,’ ” observes Wolf.

66. Wolf believes (as well as Pribram) that our minds create the illusion of reality ‘out there’ through the same kind of processes studied by Bekesy. He believe these processes are also what allows the lucid dreamer to create subjective realities I which things like marble floors and flowers are as tangible and real as their so-called objective counterparts. In fact, he thinks our ability to be lucid in our dreams suggests that there may not be much difference between the world at large and the world inside our heads.

67. Wolf postulates that lucid dreams (and perhaps all dreams) are actually visits to parallel universes. They are just smaller holograms within the larger and more inclusive cosmic hologram.

68. Stanislav Grof used a series of LSD experiments in the 1950’s. He found that the LSD helped speed up the time it took to help heal people of certain mental illnesses, such as even curing Schizophrenia and traumatic memories that had haunted individuals for years were unearthed and dealt with. It wasn’t long before Grof realized that he was also seeing more and more deeper levels of unconsciousness arise during the sessions. Some people would describe what it was like to be in the whom. Some patients would describe things about their knowledge of embryology inherent that were often far superior to the patients’ previous education.

69. Some patients would be able to explain in perfect detail even what their mother’s were going through mentally during pregnancy (which was confirmed by the mother later), one woman even experienced what it was like to be a female prehistoric reptile. She would give richly detailed descriptions of what it felt like to be encapsuled in such a form, but noted that the portion of the male of the species’ anatomy she found most sexually arousing was a parch of colored scales on the side of its head. Although the woman had no prior knowledge of such things, a conversation Grof had with a zoologist later confirmed that in certain species of reptiles, colored areas on the head do indeed play an important role as triggers of sexual arousal.

70. Patients were also able to tap into the consciousness of their relatives and ancestors.

71. On occasion subjects also traveled to what appeared to be other universes and other levels of reality. In one particular unnerving session a young man suffering from depression found himself in what seemed to be another dimension. It had an eerie luminescence, and although he could not see anyone he sensed that it was crowded with discarnate beings. Suddenly he sensed a presence very close to him, and to his surprise it began to communicate with him telepathically. It asked him to please contact a couple who lived in the Moravian city of Kromeriz and let them know that their son Ladislav was well taken care of and doing all right. It then gave him the couple’s name, street address, and telephone number. Grof called the number and spoke to a woman to find out that it was indeed the person’s parents and that their son “Ladislav had passed away three weeks ago”.

72. It seemed that LSD seemed to provide the human consciousness with access to a kind of infinite subway system, a labyrinth of tunnels and byways that existed in the subterranean reaches of the unconscious, and one that literally connected everything in the universe with everything else.

73. Grof says after over 3,000 LSD sessions (each lasting at least five hours) and studying records of more than 2,000 sessions conducted by colleagues, “There is at present little doubt in my mind that our current understanding of the universe, of the nature or reality, and particularly of human beings, is superficial, incorrect, and incomplete”. (Eric-if that’s not exactly what I said then I don’t know what is)

74. Grof coined the term transpersonal to describe such phenomena of experiences in which the consciousness transcends the customary boundaries of the personality and even helped found a new branch of psychology called Transpersonal Psychology.

75. “Bohm’s concept of the unfolded and enfolded orders and the idea that certain important aspects of reality are not accessible to experience and study under ordinary circumstances are of direct relevance for the understanding of unusual states of consciousness. Individuals who have experienced various nonordinary states of consciousness, including well-educated and sophisticated scientists from various disciplines, frequently report that they entered hidden domains of reality that seemed to be authentic and in some sense implicit in, and supraordinated to, everyday reality.”

76. Grof thinks that holography’s success at modeling so many different aspects of archetypal experience suggests that there is a deep link between holographic processes and the way archetypes are produced.

77. Holotropic states are ‘nonordinary’ states of consciousness.

78. Holotropic Therapy is the use of only rapid and controlled breathing, evocative music, and massage and body work, to induce altered states of consciousness. Grof describes his work with creating Holotropic Therapy in his book The Adventure of Self-Discovery.

79. Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) occurs when something horrible happens to a person, usually at a very young age, (such as psychological, physical, and/or sexual abuse). A person can have two or more completely different personalities at the same time in the same body. Sometimes it even goes as far as more than a hundred personalities in one body. Most people with this disorder don’t even know they have it and think they are experiencing some kind of amnesia, confusion, or blackout spells. Many researches conclude that this disorder comes when one personality cannot handle the amount of pain that more than one can and it is the body’s way of coping with the pain.

80. In this sense becoming a multiple may be the ultimate example of what Bohm means by fragmentation. It is interesting to note that when the psyche fragments itself, it does not become a collection of broken and jagged-edged shards, but a collection of smaller wholes, complete and self-sustaining with their own traits, motives, and desires. Although these wholes are not identical copies of the original personality, they are related to the dynamics of the original personality, and this in itself suggests that some kind of holographic process is involved.

81. Another unusual feature of MPD is that each of a multiple’s personalities possesses a different brain-wave pattern. This is surprising, as it has been shown that normally a person’s brain-wave patterns stay the same even in states of extreme emotion. Brain-wave patterns are not the only thing that changes. Blood flow patterns, muscle tone, hear rate, posture, and even allergies can all change as a multiple shifts form one self to the next.

82. Since brain-wave patterns are not confined to any single neuron or group of neurons, but are a global property of the brain, this too suggests that some kind of holographic process may be at work. Just as multiple-image holograms can store and project dozens of whole scenes, perhaps the brain hologram can store and call forth a similar multitude of personalities. In other words, perhaps what we call ‘self’ is also a hologram, and when the brain of a multiple clicks from one holographic self to the next, these slid-projector-like shuttlings are reflected in the global changes that take place in brain-wave activity as well as in the body in general.

83. Another of Jung’s great contributions was defining the concept of synchronicity. A synchronicity is a coincidence that is so unusual and so meaningful they could hardly be attributed to chance alone.

84. Jung had a time where a woman was not benefiting form therapy because her approach to life made it difficult. After a number of frustrating sessions the woman told Jung about a dream involving a scarab beetle. Jung knew that in Egyptian mythology the scarab represented rebirth and wondered if the woman’s unconscious mind was symbolically announcing that she was about to undergo some kind of psychological rebirth. He was just about to tell he this when something tapped on the window, and he looked up to see a gold-green scarab on the other side of the glass (it was the only time a scarab beetle had ever appeared at Jung’s window). He opened the window and allowed the scarab to fly into the room as he presented his interpretation of the dream. The woman was so stunned that she tempered her excessive rationality, and from then on her response to therapy improved.

85. It appears that such things as Synchronicities occurred the most right before a person went through an emotional intensity or transformation: fundamental changes in belief, sudden and new insights, deaths, births, even changes in profession. It was also noticed that they tended to peak when the new realization or insight was just about to surface in a patient’s consciousness.

86. Carl Alfred Meier, a longtime associate of Jung’s, tells of a synchronicity that spanned many years. An American woman suffering from serious depression traveled al the way from Wuchang, China, to be treated by Meier. She was a surgeon and had headed a mission hospital in Wuchang for 20 years. She had also become involved in the culture and was an expert in Chinese philosophy. During the course of her therapy she told Meier of a dream in which she had seen the hospital with one of its wings destroyed. Because he identity was so intertwined with the hospital, Meier felt her dream was telling her she was losing her sense of self, her American identity, and that was cause of her depression. He advised her to return to the States, and when she did her depression quickly vanished, just as he had predicted. Before she departed he also had her to a detailed sketch of the crumbling hospital. Years later the Japanese attacked China and bombed Wuchang Hospital. The woman sent Meier a copy of Life magazine containing a double-page photograph of the partially destroyed hospital, and it was identical to the drawing she had produced nine years earlier. The symbolic and highly personal message of her dream had somehow spilled beyond the boundaries of her psyche and into physical reality.

87. Jung made a new principle called acausal, but it was not accepted by fellow scientists. However, another physicist (Wolfgang Pauli) coauthored a book with him called The Interpretation and Nature of the Psyche.

88. Physicist Paul Davies states, “These non-local quantum effects are indeed a form of synchronicity in the sense that they establish a connection-more precisely a correlation-between events for which any form of casual linkage is forbidden”.

89. According to Bohm the apparent separateness of consciousness and matter is an illusion, an artifact that occurs only after both have unfolded into the explicate world of objects and sequential time. If there is no division between the mind and matter in the implicate, the ground from which all things spring, then it is not unusual to expect that reality might still be shot through with traces of this deep connectivity.

90. Synchronicities would therefore be ‘flaws’ in the fabric of reality, momentary fissures that allow us a brief glimpse of the immense and unitary order underlying all of nature (i.e. synchronicities reveal the absence of division between the physical world and our inner psychological reality).

91. When we experience a synchronicity, what we are really experiencing “is the human mind operating, for a moment, in its true order and extending throughout society and nature, moving through orders of increasing subtlety, reaching past the source of mind and matter into creativity itself”.

92. How is it that mental projections, images, through a person’s meditations, are able to actually heal the body in nearly magical ways when a person is thought to have a very short time to live from a disease or sickness that is nearly impossible to survive from…and do so without having a single trace of the disease left in their body; they are completely healed?

93. In a brain that operates holographically, the remembered image of a thing can have as much impact on the senses as the thing itself.

94. “Every action starts form an intention in the implicate order. The imagination is already the creation of the form; it already has the intention and the germs of all the movements needed to carry it out. And it affects the body and so on, so that as creation takes place in that way from the subtler levels of the implicate order, it goes through them until it manifests in the explicate.” Says Bohm. In other words, in the implicate order, as in the brain itself, imagination and reality are ultimately indistinguishable, and it should therefore come as no surprise to us that images in the mind can ultimately manifest as realities in the physical body.

95. Physiologist Jeane Archterberg did an experiment with the imagery technique of healing the body. She trained one group of people to image a cell known as a neutrophil (a form of the white blood cell) and trained another group to image the T-Cell (another form of the white blood cell) to see if she could get something to happen to a specific cell instead of a generalized cell like the white blood cell that has several different forms with different ‘duties’ in the body. When the study was done, both groups had a significant increase in the cells they were imaging, but no increase in the cells they did not image. The test was a success.

96. Archterberg notes that belief is a very important thing in health. Many people have been sent home to die, yet, have never given (believed they were not going to die) up and astounded doctors when they returned fully recovered. She wrote a book titled Imagery In Healing where she describes several of her own encounters with such cases.

97. Archterberg says that negative images can damage the body as well as heal it and that we need to exorcise any beliefs and images that have negative consequences for our health, and realize that our body holograms are more than just pictures; they contain a host of other information including intellectual understand and interpretations, prejudices both conscious and unconscious, fears, hopes, worries, and so one.

98. In Love, Medicine, and Miracles, Bernie Siegel says he often encounters instances where the mental pictures patients use to describe themselves or their lives seem to play a role in the creation of their conditions. Examples include a mastectomy patient who told him she “needed to get something off her chest”; a patient with multiple myeloma in his backbone who said he “was always considered spineless”; and a man with carcinoma of the larynx whose father punished him as a child by constantly squeezing his throat and telling him to “shut up!”

99. Soma-Significant is a term coined by Bohm to sum up better the idea that all diseases are initiated in the mind to some degree; the word Soma meaning “Body”.

100. By using images one can also tell someone’s chances of survival. In another landmark experiment, Stephanie Mathews-Simonton, Archterberg, and psychologist G. Frank Lawlis performed a battery of blood tests on 126 patients wit advanced cancer. Then they subjected the patients to an equally extensive array of psychological tests, including exercises in which the patients were asked to draw images of themselves, their cancers, their treatment, and their immune systems. The blood tests offered some information about the patients’ condition, but provided no major revelations. However, the results of the psychological tests, particularly the drawings, were encyclopedias of information about the status of the patients’ health. Indeed, simply by analyzing patients’ drawings, Archterberg later achieved a 95 percent rate of accuracy in predicting who would die within a few months and who would beat their illness and go into remission.

101. In a test conducted by Psychologist Shlomo Bernitz at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, had several groups of Israeli soldiers march 40 kilometers (about 25 miles), but gave each group different information. Some of them were told they would walk 60 kilometers, but only walked 40, some marched 30 kilometers, and then were told they ad another ten to go, and even allowed some of them distance markers and provided others with no clues at all as to how far they had traveled. At the end of the study it was found that the stress hormone levels in the soldiers’ blood always reflected their estimates and not the actual distance they had marched. In other words, “Their bodies responded not to reality, but to what they were imaging as reality”.

102. In many other tests around the world (especially in the Soviet Union), athletes who visualize their improvement more than they actually train have increased more in their actual performances than the ones who trained more than they visualized. In his book Peak Performance: Mental Training Techniques of the World’s Greatest Athletes, Charles A. Garfield of NASA states, “These images are holographic and function primarily at the subliminal level. The holographic imaging mechanism enables you to quickly solve spatial problems such as assembling complex machine, choreographing a dance routine, or running visual images of plays through your mind.”

103. Physician Larry Dossey believes that imagery is not the only tool the holographic mind can use to effect changes in the body. Another is simply the recognition of the unbroken wholeness of all things. As Dossey observes, we have the tendency to view illness as external to us. Disease comes form without and besieges us, upsetting our well-being. But if space and time, and all other things in the universe, are truly inseparable, then we cannot make a distinction between health and disease.

104. In a test by Dossey, a group of epileptic children and their families were videotaped as they interacted with one another. Occasionally, there were emotional outbursts during the sessions, which were often followed by actual seizures. When the children were shown the tapes and saw the relationship between these emotional events and their seizures, they became almost seizure-free. Why? By watching the videotape the subjects were able to see their condition in relationship to the larger pattern of their lives. When this happens, illness can no longer be viewed “as an intruding disease originating elsewhere, but as part of a process of living which can accurately be described as an unbroken whole,” says Dossey.

105. The Placebo effect is an effect where someone is either given a false treatment or a false surgery (either given sugar pills, or cut open and simply sewed back up again) and the patients that were given false treatments recovered and showed signs of healing just as much as those who received the full and true treatments and surgeries. The illnesses that have proved responsive to placebo treatments include migraine headaches, allergies, fever, the common cold, acne, asthma, warts, various kinds of pain, nausea and seasickness, peptic ulcers, psychiatric syndromes such as depression and anxiety, rheumatoid and degenerative arthritis, diabetes, radiation sickness, parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.

106. The mind/body’s ultimate inability to distinguish between an imagined reality and a real one is the reason why placebos work the way they do.

107. Psychologist Bruno Keopfer was treating a man named Wright who had advanced cancer of the lymph nodes. The tumors were as big as oranges. The man was not expected to live, but begged Keopfer for a treatment of a new drug called Krebiozen. At first the doctor refused to use it because it was expected to only work on patients given three months to live, but Wright kept pushing and the doctor gave in. He got the injection, but the doctor was so sure he was going to die, that he went home, and when he returned the next day he found Wright out of bed and walking away, with the tumors HALF their original size. Ten days after his first treatment, Wright was out of the hospital flying his plains. Then he found an article one day saying that the drug he used doesn’t heal lymph node cancer. It wasn’t long before Wright was back in the hospital with cancer again. This time the doctors told him that the drug worked, it just had a bad shipment and the papers filed it wrong. They gave him the injection again, and he was out again within days, completely healed. Again, another article showed up saying that Krebiozen was useless in curing cancer and again Wright found himself in the hospital with advanced cancer, completely shattered and died two days later.

108. When we are fortunate enough to bypass our disbelief and tap into the healing forces within us, we can cause tumors to melt away overnight.

109. A person with MPD has the ability to completely change their body as different personalities take over. This goes from eye color, allergies, physical problems (such as eye visions-some multiples even have to carry around several pair of glasses, one for each personality-, one personality could have an allergy and another won’t, one could have diabetes and the other won’t), it even goes as far as completely different names, vocal chord tones, accents, healing time, how much medicine a personality can handle; even scars can change, disappearing and reappearing DIFFERENT scars for different personalities within the same multiple.

110. One such multiple has all of her personalities aware at the same time, even when not in control of the body, and is able to performing imaging techniques all day long, keeping the body at a complete healing state twenty-four seven.

111. “We are deeply attached to the inevitability of things. If we have bad vision, we believe we will have bad vision for life, and if we suffer from diabetes, we do not for a moment think our condition might vanish with a change in mood or thought. But the phenomenon of multiple personality challenges this belief and offers further evidence of just how much our psychological states can affect the body’s biology. If the psyche of an individual with MPD is a kind of multiple image hologram, it appears that the body is one as well, and can switch form one biological state to another as rapidly as the flutter of a deck of cards.

112. What unknown pathways of influence enable the mind of a multiple to freeze all these processes in their tracks? Or what allows them to suspend the effects of alcohol and other drugs in the blood, or turn diabetes on and off? At the moment we don’t know and must console ourselves with one simple fact. Once a multiple has undergone therapy and in some way becomes whole again, he or she can still make these switches at will. This suggests that somewhere in our psyches we all have the ability to control these things. And still is not all we can do.

113. Certain beliefs can have the ability to cure and even prevent diseases, the successfulness of transplants, and even pregnancy.

114. The attitude you portray towards a subject can even cause other things to happen, like mothers who are pregnant may feel the child is unhealthy, and another may feel it is healthy, but the ones who are healthy are and the ones who aren’t are not. People who have a fighting spirit tend to live longer than those who have a passive spirit.

115. Just through pure will power one can do unimaginable feats. In the 1970’s Jack Schwarz astounded scientists by sticking a six-inch sailmaker’s needle through his arms without bleeding, not even once did he bleed. His beta brain waves didn’t even change the slightest, indicating that there was zero pain; and the puncture holes closed tightly.

116. In 1947 Maria Dajo did similar feats, impaling himself with sensing foils with no bleeding, no pain, and practically no trace of a piercing. X-rays were taken and it was clear that he had been completely impaled and that many of his vital organs were completely pierced, yet they closed up tightly with not even a hint of blood.

117. Like a surgeon reaching in and altering the condition of an internal organ, a skilled hypnotherapist can reach into our psyche and help us change the most important type of belief of all, our unconscious beliefs.

118. Numerous studies have demonstrated irrefutably that under hypnosis a person can influence processes usually considered unconscious. For instance, like a multiple, deeply hypnotized persons can control allergic reactions, blood flow patterns, and nearsightedness. In addition, they can control heart rate, pain, body temperature, and even will away some kinds of birthmarks. Hypnosis can also be used to accomplish something that, in its own way, is every bit as remarkable as suffering no injury after a foil has been stuck through one’s abdomen.

119. Brocq’s Disease is a disease that makes one’s skin scaly and hard, so hard, in fact, that the slightest movement could cause it to crack and bleed. Because of infection, victims of Brocq’s disease had relatively short life spans.

120. Brocq’s disease was incurable until 1951 when a six-teen-year-old boy with an advanced case of the affliction was referred as a last resort to a hypnotherapist named A. A. Mason at the Queen Victoria Hospital in London. Mason discovered that the boy was a good hypnotic subject and could easily be put into a deep state of trance. While the boy was in trance, Mason told him that his Brocq’s disease was healing and would soon be gone. Five days later the scaly layer covering the boy’s left arm fell off, revealing soft, healthy flesh beneath. By the end of ten days the arm was completely normal. Mason and the boy continued to work on different body areas until all of the scaly skin was gone. The boy remained symptom-free for at least five years, at which point Mason lost touch with him.

121. This is extraordinary because Brocq’s disease is a genetic condition, and getting rid of it involves more than juts controlling autonomic processes such as blood flow patterns and various cells of the immune system. It means taping into the master plan, our DNA programming itself. So, it would appear that when we access the right strata of our beliefs, our minds can override even our genetic makeup.

122. In 1962 a man named Vittorio Michelli was admitted to the Military Hospital of Verona, with a large cancerous tumor on his left hip. So dire was his prognosis that he was sent home without treatment, and within ten months his hip had completely disintegrated, leaving the bone of his upper leg floating in nothing more than a mass of soft tissue. As a last resort, he traveled to Lourdes and had himself bathed in the spring. Once he entered, he felt a sensation of energy flowing through his body. He had several more baths and then returned home. Over the next month he felt such an increasing sense of well being he insisted his doctors X-ray him again. They discovered his tumor was smaller. They were so intrigued they documented every step in this improvement. It was a good thing because after Michelli’s tumor disappeared, his bone began to regenerate, and the medical community generally views this as an impossibility. Within two months he was up and walking again, and over the course of the next several years his bone completely reconstructed itself.

123. Can images be projected outside the brain?

124. St. Veronica Giuliani, during her last years, became convinced that the images of the Passion-a crown of thorns, three nails, a cross, and a sword-had been emblazoned on her hear. After she died and autopsy revealed that the symbols were indeed impressed on her hear exactly as she had depicted them. The two doctors who performed the autopsy signed sword statements attesting to their finding.

125. In 1913 a twelve-year-old girl from the village of Bussus-bus-Suel, near Abbeville, France, made headlines when it was discovered that she could consciously command images, such as pictures of dogs and horses, to appear on her arms, legs, and shoulders. She could also produce words, and when someone asked her a question the answer would instantly appear on her skin.

126. At a conference on psychoneuroimmunology-a new science that studies the way the mind (psycho), the nervous system (neuro), and the immune system (immunology) interact-Candace Pert, chief of brain biochemistry at the National Institute of Mental Health, announced that immune cells have neuropeptide receptors. Neuropeptides are molecules the brain uses to communicate, the brain’s telegrams, if you will. Three was a time when it was believed that neuropeptides could only be found in the brain. But the existence of receptors (telegraph receivers) on the cells in our immune system implies that the immune system is not separate form but is an extension of the brain. Neuropeptides have also been found in various other parts of the body, leading Pert to admit that she can no longer tell where the brain leaves off and the body begins.

127. Acupuncture is the idea that every organ and bone in the body is connected to specific points on the body’s surface. By activating these acupuncture points, with either needles or some other form of stimulation, it is believed that diseases and imbalances affecting the parts of the body connected to the points can be alleviated and even cured. There are thousands of acupuncture points organized in imaginary lines called meridians on the body’s surface. Although still controversial, acupuncture is gaining acceptance in the medical community and has even been used successfully to treat chronic back pain in racehorses.

128. In 1957 a French physician and acupuncturist named Paul Nogier published a book called Treatise of Auriculotherapy, in which he announced his discovery that in addition to the major acupuncture system, there are two smaller acupuncture systems on both ears. He dubbed these Acupuncture Microsystems and noted that when one played a kind of connect-the-dots game with them, they formed an anatomical map of a miniature human inverted like a fetus. Unbeknownst to Nogier, the Chinese had discovered the “little man in the ear” nearly 4,000 years earlier, but a map of the Chinese ear system wasn’t published until after Nogier had already laid claim to the idea.

129. The little man in the ear was found by Dr. Terry Oleson, a psychobiologist at the Pain Management Clinic at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine, to be able to diagnose accurately what’s going on in the body.

130. Oleson discovered that increased electrical activity in one of the acupuncture points in the ear generally indicates a pathological condition (either past or present) in the corresponding area of the body. In one study, forty patients were examined to determine areas of their body where they experienced chronic pain. Following the examination, each patient was draped in a sheet to conceal any visible problems. Then an acupuncturist with no knowledge of the results examines only their ears. When the results were tallied it was discovered that the ear examinations were in agreement with the established medical diagnoses 75.2 percent of the time.

131. Once while Oleson was out boating with an acquaintance he noticed an abnormally flaky patch of skin in one of the man’s ears. From his research Oleson knew the spot corresponded to the heart, and he suggested to the man that he might want to get his heart checked. The man went to his doctor the next day and discovered he had a cardiac problem, which required immediate open-heart surgery.

132. Oleson also used electrical stimulation of the acupuncture points in the ear to treat chronic pain, weight problems, hearing loss, and virtually all kinds of addictions. In one study of fourteen narcotic-addicted individuals, Oleson and his colleagues used ear acupuncture to eliminate the drug requirements of twelve of them in an average of five days and only with minimal withdrawal symptoms. Indeed, ear acupuncture has proved so successful in bringing about rapid narcotic detoxification that clinics in both Los Angeles and New York are now using the technique to treat street addicts.

133. Why would the acupuncture points in the ear be aligned in the shape of a miniature human? Oleson believes it is because of the holographic nature of the mind and body. Just as every portion of a hologram contains the image of the whole, every portion of the body may also contain the image of the whole. “The ear holograph is, logically, connected to the brain holograph which itself is connected to the whole body,” He states. “The way we use the ear to affect the rest of the body is by working through the brain holograph.

134. Other acupuncture Microsystems have been found-by Dr. Ralph Alan Dale, director of the Acupuncture Education Center in North Miami Beach, Florida-to be in at least eighteen different parts of the body, including ones in the hands, feet, arms, neck, tongue, and even the gums.

135. According to the holographic model, the mind/body ultimately cannot distinguish the difference between the neural holograms the brain uses to experience reality and the ones it conjures up while imaging reality. Both messages have a dramatic effect on the human organism, an effect so powerful that it can modulate the immune system, duplicate and/or negate the effects of potent drugs, heal wounds with amazing rapidity, melt tumors, override our genetic programming, and reshape our living flesh in ways that almost defy belief.

136. This then is the first message: that each of us possess the ability, at least at some level, to influence our health and control our physical form in ways that are nothing short of dazzling. We are potential wonder-workers, dormant yogis.

137. The second message is that elements that go into the making of these neural holograms are many and subtle. They include the images upon which we meditate, our hopes and fears, the attitudes of our doctors, our unconscious prejudices, our individual and cultural beliefs, and our faith in things both spiritual and technological. More than just facts, these are important clues, signposts that point toward those things that we must become aware of and acquire mastery over if we are to learn how to unleash and manipulate these talents. There are, no doubt, other factors involved, other influences that shape and circumscribe these abilities, for one thing should now be obvious. In a holographic universe, a universe in which a slight change in attitude can mean the difference between life and death, in which things are so subtly interconnected that a dream can call forth the inexplicable appearance of a scarab beetle, and the factors responsible for an illness can also evoke a certain pattern in the ears, we have reason to suspect that each effect has multitudinous causes.

138. Psychokinesis (PK) is the ability to manipulate the universe around you with your mind, whether it be consciously or unconsciously. Events involving PK leave us agog because the current worldview does not provide us with a context by which to understand PK.

139. Bohm believes viewing the universe as a Holomovement does provide us with a context.

140. Bohm asks us to consider the following situation, “Imagine you are walking down a street late one night and a shadow suddenly looms up out of nowhere. Your first thought might be that the shadow is an assailant and you are in danger. The information contain in this thought will in turn give rise to a range of imagined activities, such as running, being hurt, and fighting. The presence of these imagined activities in your mind, however, is no a purely ‘mental’ process, for they are inseparable from a host of related biological processes, such as excitation of nerves, rapid heart beat, release of adrenaline and other hormones, tensing of the muscles, and so one. Converse, if your first thought is that the shadow is just a shadow, a different set of mental and biological responses will follow. Moreover, a little reflection will reveal that we react both mentally and biologically to everything we experience.”

141. According to Bohm, the important point to be gleaned from this is that consciousness is not the only thing that can respond to meaning. The body can also respond, and this reveals that meaning is simultaneously both mental and physical in nature. This is odd, for we normally think of meaning as something that can only have an active effect on subjective reality, on the thoughts inside our heads, not something that can engender a response in the physical world of things and objects.

142. Meaning “can thus serve as the link or ‘bridge’ between these two sides of reality,” Bohm states. “This link is indivisible in the sense that information contained in thought which we feel to be on the ‘mental’ side, is at the same time in a neurophysiological, chemical, and physical activity, which is clearly what is meant by this thought on the ‘material’ side.”

143. A computer chip contains information, and the meaning of the information is active in the sense that it determines how electrical currents flow through the computer.

144. The orthodox view in physics is that quantum waves act mechanically on a particle, controlling its movement in much the same way that the waves of the ocean might control a Ping-Pong ball floating on its surface. But Bohm does not feel that this view can explain, for example, the coordinated dance of electron in a plasma any more than the wave motion of water could explain a similarly well-choreographed movement of Ping-Pong balls if such a movement between particle and quantum wave is more like a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. A quantum wave does not push an electron about any more than a radar wave pushes a ship. Rather, it provides the electron with information about its environment, which the electron then uses to maneuver on its own.

145. In other words, Bohm believes that an electron is not only mind-like, but is a highly complex entity, a far cry from the standard view that an electron is a simple, structureless point. The active use of information by electrons, and indeed by all subatomic particles, indicates that the ability to respond to meaning is a characteristic not only of consciousness by of all matter. It is this intrinsic commonality, says Bohm, that offers a possible explanation for PK. He states, “On this people were focused on meanings that were in harmony with those guiding the basic processes of the material systems in which this Psychokinesis was to be brought about.”

146. It is important to note that this kind of Psychokinesis would not be due to a casual process, that is, a cause-and-effect relationship involving any of the known forces in physics. Instead, it would be the result of a kind of nonlocal “resonance of meanings,” or a kind of nonlocal interaction similar to, but not the same as, the nonlocal interconnection that allows a pair of twin photons to manifest the same angle of polarization. (For technical reasons, Bohm believe mere quantum nonlocality cannot account for either PK or telepathy, and only a deeper form of nonlocality, a kind of ‘super’ nonlocality, would offer such an explanation).

I have more, but haven't typed them up yet.

i have to do my own individual research to find out if any of these experiments are correct, in due time. as for now, i'm simply in the notes stage. i know it's long as crap, but bear with me, i'm doing the best i can with the material i have at the time.

I've been reading a book called Quantum Consciousness that mentions that emotions are really just energy and we should be able to step outside of "feelings" as if we were an observer.

That's definitely true.
It's something that I had a small concept of for quite a while, but it didn't really hit me as truth until after my dad died. Before, I was always loosely analyzing my anger, trying to keep it in check whenever I got mad at something I knew I probably had no business getting mad at. But after my dad died, I'd notice myself starting to spiral downward into a depressed state. My thoughts would become more morbid, and I'd begin focusing on the negativity of his death rather than the positivity of the life he lived.
After a few minutes of this, though, I'd be able to "snap out of it." Kind of like telling myself "Man, what the hell are you doing letting yourself descend like this? It's not necessary at all." I would begin rationally analyzing the situation for minutes at a time, as objectively as I could, and awakening myself out of the useless downward spiral of emotional torment.

But yeah, I agree with that; given that you have the frame of mind to see things from another perspective, which I think has a lot to do with utilizing empathy in everyday life, and learning to see one situation from many different angles, maybe.

personally, i never liked this world. I'm the kind of person that would say, "I can't wait to die. I don't want to spend another minute in this world that I have to". some would call that morbid, but it's the truth. this place is a prison. i fin myself doing wrong things all the time. things i know is wrong, and i have this unconcsious train of thought that says, "Just do it", and i will, and then i'll fell like dirt for doing it. happens all the time.

Plus, i know this world is nothing more than a series of holographic programs that our minds (holograms within the hologram itself) interpret as 'real'. Alot of people try to think of this holographic idea of the universe as a direct holographic idea. that's not how you're supposed to look at it. it's like you take a hologram to the next level, a lever where, it still have most of its poperties, but is now another dimension farther up the list, where it has physical properties as well. that still means it's a hologram.

So, this world isn't real, i can't do what i know is right, and the reason why is because of this world. if i could just escape this place i would be fine, but i can't, i'm stuck here, like the rest of us. i can break it, but it'll take years before i come in contact with anyone who believes my way and is willing to help me make the SAGE. everything here is a prison, and there seems to be no real reason to live, until i found Christ.

He gave me joy, and a reason to live, and he gave me a father figure, someone to look up to, because i don't have a biological father figure to look up to. Jesus is the best one i could find, perfect in every way. and if i could be just a fraction of him, i would be satisfied, but that's the hardest thing to do in life, and i welcome it...to an extent.

So, what is my goal? my goal in this so-called life is to break all barriers, to break the illusionistic holographic veil that keeps us trapped in this 'Matrix-Like' realm of existence. It's like we're rats in a cage, locked into a smal portion of the universe, where to only find the true universe, we need to step out of the cage. most people refuse to believe this, and are trapped in the matrix, others believe it, and yet are still trapped physically and mentally in the matrix, others believe it and are trapped only physically in the matrix, letting their minds run rampant in the universe through lucid dreams, trances, and OBEs. but none of us are completely free of this matrix, except for those who have passed away. I wish for us to be able to travel in-between the matrix and the real universe freely, and to exist in both. This is freedom to me, no restrictions, no body to slow us down, and mental understanding of the the universe that surpasses all of that which we ever dreamed to know.

That is my dream, and that is my goal, and i am sure to reach it, just when i do not know.
