Holograms of Life
Holograms of Life - Part 1
What is Meant by the Term "Holograms of Life"?
The term "Holograms of Life" is a term that I have coined to refer to holograms where the vital force is Life itself, and Awareness in particular. It is quite possible the term has been used by other authors as well.
I am referring here to the same thing that the theoretical physicists were referring to, the Universe as a hologram, but from a spiritual perspective. This is by postulating that the "vital force" that creates the Uninerse is "that which cannot be named" as referred to on previous pages of this website. Its role as Awareness seems to be its most significant role in creation of the whole Universe.
You will not see the term "Holograms of Life" used by theoretical physicists in the mainstream, nor will you see them referring to "that which cannot be named", as they do not think of it from a spiritual perspective as I do.
Justification for Calling Them Holograms
What components combine to create Holograms of Life that justify them being called holograms?
They will be considered in terms of the three components of holograms mentioned near the top of the previous page, called "About Holograms". These are listed as items 1-3 below, and a key property of holograms will be considered in item 4 below:
- What illusion is created as the hologram?
- What is the "vital force"?
- What is used as the image?
- Is "the whole in the part and the part in the whole"?
Illusions Still Exist, as What They Are Caused By
One of Albert Einstein's famous statements is that:
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
~ Albert Einstein
While that statement is quite true, some additional comments are also relevant.
The following quotation summarises my thoughts on illusions well. Just because something is an illusion in the dimension in which it apppears to exist does not mean that it does not exist at all.
Note the comment by Michael Soham at the bottom of the image. My view is that an illusion does exist, as the things that cause it to exist.
Item 1 that follows describes Holograms of Life, and items 2 and 3 discuss the components that cause them to exist. (Read item 1 first though.) Item 4 refers to an interesting feature of all holograms.

Holograms of Life - Part 2
1. What Illusion is Created as the Hologram?
The Hologram of Life is the illusion that the Universe is physical and that we are living physical lives in it, as we experience all that is part of Life.
We have known for decades that physical "reality" is an illusion. Long ago (when I was attending high school), we were taught in physics that everything physical is made of atoms, and atoms consisted of very small physical objects called electrons, protons and neutrons.
We were taught that the volume of each atom is almost entirely empty space, as the electrons are extremely small in relation to the diameter of their orbits around the nucleus, which is where the protons and neutrons are located.
This has now been revised based on further research. The understanding now is that everything within atoms exists as an energy cloud, but with the potential to "collapse" into physical sub-atomic particles when the awareness of an observer is focused on the subject. Thus awareness of an observer is necessary to cause an electron cloud to collape into "physical reality".
The well-known double slit experiment in quantum physics provides evidence of this. Here is a link to a video presentation of it on YouTube, by an easy-to-follow cartoon character called Dr Quantum:
Link: Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment
There are many other videos on YouTube about the double slit experiment and some claim that the Universe is a "simulation". I believe that there is a big difference between a simulation and a hologram. The word "hologram" is a more accurate description of how physical reality is formed, by Awareness, rather than by an artificial simulation. The ideas in parts 2 to 4 of Section D on holograms that follow convince me of this.
Continued in Parts 3, 4 and 5 of "Holograms of Life" below, on this page.
Holograms of Life - Part 3
2. What is the "Vital Force"
The world of form referred to below refers to the physical world and physical Universe.
The next two quotations below say that everything is made of Consciousness. On the home page it was explained that Consciousness is Awareness applied to "something", a subject.
The "something" that it is applied to is the image from which the hologram will be formed, as discussed in item 3 that follows. Awareness of the image is Consciousness of it.
The One Life with its one Awareness is the Vital Force that pervades the entire Universe.
Absolutely everything that appears to exist is made out of Awareness/ Consciousness, which is the Vital Force that gives life and realism to the Hologram(s) of Life. This is similar to the role of light in an optical hologram.
In the case of optical transmission holograms, there are some quite detailed technical explanations for how the illumination of 2D holographic images on a flat plate by light can create realistic 3D holographic images. However in this case the 2D images were made especially, using two beams from one light source shining on a real 3D object.
Obviously we do not have detailed technical explanations of how Holograms of Life are created, but at least we are able to know the components, as described on this webpage.
In summary, the two components are firstly the One Life with its One Self and its Awareness, which are the Vital Force, and secondly the things that are used as the Image which are discussed in the following section.
Holograms of Life - Part 4
3. What is Used as the Image?
It is what we are, in terms of our beliefs, thoughts, perceptions, emotions and fears about ourself and our world, that is combined with the Vital Force of Awareness to create the illusion of our physical life. Excitement has a positive effect, fear has a negative effect.
"The Kybalion" is a book published in 1908, authored by "The Three Initiates". They were associated with the New Thought Movement that emerged in the early 1900's, which I hold in high regard. It wrote of seven hermetic principles, based on anciant teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, a legendary Hellenistic figure.
The first of its seven principles is the Principle of Mentalism: "The Universe is a mental creation of the All, suggesting reality is ultimately shaped by the mind". A summary of all seven principles is available here, if the link is still active:
Link: Summary of the Seven Hermetic Principles
I think that the Principle of Mentalism describes the image component well, however the Vital Force of Life itself is the other component that forms Holograms of Life, and it needs to be honoured.

4. Is the Whole in the Part and the Part in the Whole?
Previous quotations on this site have made the point that we are the whole Universe, experiencing itself from a unique viewpoint via each of us. The two quotations that follow are reminders of this:
Taking the Universe as the Whole and each of us as a Part, it is not difficult to see that the Whole is in the Part and the Part is in the Whole.
