You've got my upvote. For those interested in understanding this topic but wanting to start with more basic ideas, I suggest "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. It does an excellent job of introducing this theory to beginners. https://www.amazon.com/Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Theory-Reality/dp/0062014102

u/obiwanjacobi · 5 pointsr/conspiracy

It depends on what you're interested in really. You can get the general explanation of Federal Reserve, Illuminati, 9/11, CIA, NSA, etc from just about any YouTube video. Some books that have recently opened my mind to other topics, however include:

The Source Field Investigations by David Wilcock - The best written and most well-sourced book I've read concerning alternative history, conspiracy theories, suppressed science, and a host of other topics. Main thesis being that consciousness is a nonlocal field.

Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock - Some of the best evidence out there for a lost civilization which fell out of power and memory sometime around the end of the ice age. A bit outdated, but a sequel is due this year.

Genesis Revisted by Zecharia Sitchin - Read this if you want to understand why some people think the Annunaki are a thing. Some interesting info, but I don't really buy into it that much.

Dark Mission by Richard Hoagland - Occult history of NASA, coverups of what was found on the Moon, Mars, and some suppressed science.

The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot - Exactly what it sounds like

Rather than reading about the same theories in different words over and over, these books gave me perspective on possible reasons why TPTB do what they do. And an idea on what some deeper purpose for their intensive consumerism propaganda might be for, other than profit. Additionaly they exposed me to new/old ideas on what the universe fundamentally is and how it works, with some good science to back it up. Highly recommend all of these books.

u/d8_thc · 4 pointsr/holofractal

If you're looking for mainstream understandings of holofractal, checkout David Bohm's implicate/explicate order, and deBrogile-Bohm / Pilot Wave theory.

These are mainstream interpretations of quantum theory that intrinsically require the cosmos to be correlated non-locally, across time and space.

This is the tl;dr of it - all points in space and time are connected (entangled).

There's a great book called The Holographic Universe, which while not being largely based on physics, is a great philosophical understanding.

u/boogieshorts · 4 pointsr/Futurology

"The Holographic Universe" book blew my mind. Great read. Explains this all in depth then goes into how this model can explain things we previously viewed as impossible/paranormal/miracles.

Made me conclude 10 years ago that Jesus was just a dude who knew how to work the hologram.

u/Jparsner · 3 pointsr/Glitch_in_the_Matrix

What 'Amaelyn' said, "...as we are powerful manifesters" rings very true for me.

I think that amidst all the chaos going on in the world, the Earth itself as a collective form of consciousness is about to hit a major fork in the road.

Here are some good excerpts from The Holographic Universe that I think are rather good.

> "There are nineteen documented cases of people who had precognitive glimpses of the sinking of the Titanic -- some were experienced by passengers who paid attention to their premonitions and survived, some were experienced by passengers who ignored their forebodings and drowned, and some were experienced by individuals who were not in either of these two categories. Such incidents strongly suggest that the future is not set, but is plastic and can be changed.... this view brings with it a problem. If the future is still in a state of flux... how can the future both exist and not exist?....

>...[Loye] believes that reality is a giant hologram, and in it the past, present, and future are indeed fixed, at least up to a point. The rub is that it is not the only hologram. There are many such holographic entities floating in the timeless and spaceless waters of the implicate, jostling and swimming around one another like so many amoebas. Such holographic entities could also be visualized as parallel worlds, parallel universes.

>Thus, the future of any given holographic universe is predetermined, and when a person has a precognitive glimpse of the future, they are tuning into the future of that particular hologram only.... and when we act upon a premonition and appear to alter the future, what we are really doing is leaping from one hologram to another."

What I feel they're saying is that while one might be believing disaster is going to occur in the near future... it doesn't mean disaster for all. And by manifesting, believing in an apocalyptic future, one might literally be making the conscious choice to leap to that hologram while your friend might choose to leap to a different hologram.

It's not that these two individuals find themselves separated then... for just as the universe would be multi-dimensional, with many holograms of choosing, so would the individual... if you choose to go the path of the apocalyptic future, you will then experience the version of your friends/family that have also made that leap to that hologram.

u/RoganReview · 2 pointsr/JoeRogan

I just recently picked a book back up called The Holographic Reality by Michael Talbot - pretty amazing stuff
Im am no so convinced this is all there is to see.
https://www.amazon.ca/Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Theory-Reality/dp/0062014102

u/Zero-Anxiety · 2 pointsr/MorbidReality

Best place to start for overview of skeptical philosophy from ancient through modern times: http://www.amazon.com/Skepticism-Anthology-Richard-H-Popkin/dp/1591024749.

Afterwards, select the most intriguing philosophers and read them in more detail.

Also, read anything about quantum theory and modern cosmology.

This is a great starting point that will,also amaze you:

u/cannuckgamer · 2 pointsr/EBEs

Thanks for mentioning "holograms". If you ever get the chance, read The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.

u/ActiveTreeBrownie · 2 pointsr/Psychonaut

Too everyone that feel a connection to everything around you, I would highly recommend reading this book! (Or I actually think everyone should read it)
http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372199027&sr=8-1&keywords=the+holographic+universe

u/atreyuno · 2 pointsr/awakened

Thank you. I'll check that video out now.

It could be that the pain isn't from the thought but from the egoic response to the thought. It's unlikely the experiment my colleagues teacher had accounted for this. If that could be shown it would affirm that egoic response is the creation of suffering even on the smallest scale of a single unobserved thought. :)

I haven't heard of Gary Weber. Will look him up as well. Thank you.

Have you looked at the book The Holographic Universe? It meshes well with Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle and is the crux of my education of the scientific basis for non duality.

u/ForkTongue · 2 pointsr/occult

For Pythagoras I'd go with The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Library. I'm not too familiar with Leibniz' version of the monad but in general, something that gave me insight into the monad, rightly or wrongly, was The Holographic Universe.

Drive yourself sane

Godel, Escher, Bach

Geometry of meaning

Hypnotic Writing

Holographic Universe

Let me know if any of these sound interesting to you and I can refer you to more similar ones. These books have changed my life and helped me learn a lot, they are some of the best books I have ever read.

u/opajax · 1 pointr/JoeRogan

Thats what I used to think as well. Just bunch of pseudo science religious words put together. However, the more I go around the sun, and the more deeper I go down the rabbit hole, the more and more that very FIRST album makes more sense. Sure, some may be considered pseudo science to some, but they are definitely not just put together willy nilly.

Have you read the earth chronicles, or The Holographic Universe ? Or listened to some Jordan Maxwell? Maybe some Michael Tsarion?

u/CrazyInAnInsaneWorld · 1 pointr/creepy

Got a book to recommend. Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe Dr. Talbot bases his theory on the structure of the universe on the Holographic principle and brings up many ways he hypothesizes that NDE's/OBE's, as well as "Past Life Memories" are not necessarily our experiences, but are still materially a part of us. It puts an entirely new perspective on Lawrence Krauss' "We are stardust..." quote.

It should give you an interesting shift in perspective to the event listed here.

u/glorydays73 · 1 pointr/PsychedelicReligion

Fine article on a fascinating subject. I reckon you are familiar with Talbot's book (http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102) and Copenhaguen interpretation of quantum physics & Bell's theorem. After years of reading, I see now hua yen visionary ontology as the only system that can fully integrate all this. Tu-Shun treactise on the Darmadhattu, or Fa-Tsang's "Golden lion" are beautiful mixing of contemplative mystics and analytical approach. Go for that, you won't be disappointed.

u/BinLeenk · 1 pointr/Health

Read these books: The Field, The Holographic Universe and Hands of Light.

As for you, please provide citation for your side of things.

u/spectregris · 1 pointr/occult

I would suggest a book called The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, it was a huge help to me a few years back on the science and spirit reconciliation. If it works for you I don't see any problem with cutting out the spiritual (woo-woo not necessarily development of spiritiual self) stuff, as schools such as Chaos magick tend to do the same with good results.

u/jetmark · 1 pointr/thatHappened

Sounds like some of the stories from The Holographic Universe

u/TheBuddha777 · 1 pointr/INTP

Well the most likely way the planets could affect anything, would be in the different gravitational configurations they form as they move. Somehow that creates a kind of consciousness-affecting "weather pattern" on earth, where certain emotions/personality traits are emphasized and certain types of events are more likely than others. What's the mechanism? Well if you believe that galaxies or the Universe could have their own form of consciousness (I've lost you here, haven't I) and we exist in some kind of "field" of consciousness (as every native/shamanic culture believed) then the gravitational fields could have a lens-effect, acting as a prism, either filtering out or strengthening certain "wavelengths" of the overall Consciousness field here on earth.


I could go on in this vein, but I'll just say that I believe we live in both a Holographic Universe and an associative Universe, and possibly even a quantum computer or any number of things we can't even imagine.


At one point I thought maybe the gravitational fields might influence personality by affecting Meiosis, but that wouldn't explain how they also affect world events at any given time (and that's what Astrology has mostly been used for throughout history, determining the best time to do something, like start a war).

u/CorporalOtter · 1 pointr/explainlikeimfive

You might look into the thoughts of the famous quantum physicist, David Bohm. Bohm's theory is that the universe is holographic, that nothing is separate and that everything is in everything. Sound a bit mystical? Well, it seems the worlds of quantum physics and the ancient Taoist masters have no problem shaking hands. You might enjoy "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot, which discusses Bohm, and which also addresses the brain, consciousness and the mind. Talbot was gifted at taking deeply complex subjects and conveying them simply. BOOK

u/RadOwl · 1 pointr/Dreams

It sounds like you're dreaming about the Holographic Universe. Under this theory, the universe is a hologram based on a 2-D model somewhere outside of 3-D space.

u/Sherlockian_Holmes · 1 pointr/Psychonaut

If you're really serious about this, then I urge you to read the following book http://www.amazon.com/Irreducible-Mind-Toward-Psychology-Century/dp/1442202068 & http://www.amazon.com/Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Theory-Reality/dp/0062014102

That will give you a better idea how weak the foundation for the hypothesis of materialism is.

u/BazookaTony · 0 pointsr/Futurology

It's actually a hologram.

u/OWNNWONOW · 0 pointsr/conspiracy

> telling people that it should be believed

You're projecting.



Communicating telepathically isn't magic. What you believe to be magic is actually just science that you cannot grasp.


That doesn't mean that others can't though.


Read Moar

u/_wokeAF · 0 pointsr/spirituality

Categorizing this book as spiritual is subjective, but I recommend it to anyone questioning their reality.

u/GuitarGreg · 0 pointsr/Psychonaut

I've had good luck with Alan Watts (yeah, cliché I know, but he is good fun to read), Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe, and Stanislov Grof's LSD: Doorway to the Numinous.

EDIT: Talbot refers to David Bohm quite a bit. Never checked him out but I think he has some rather interesting ideas about the nature of reality, from a quantum mechanical perspective. Still have to look into this.

u/plasmate777 · -2 pointsr/Tulpas

Both you and your tulpas can use your innate metaphysical abilities to synchronistically influence components of your reality to keep your life from being unnecessarily difficult.

Because mind affects matter at the quantum level, an inner consciousness shift will create an outer physical shift. In other words, the inner and outer worlds are loosely coupled. The probability of personal life events changes in response to deep changes in your mental and emotional landscape. Consciousness affects reality in a synchronistic way, thereby bypassing the deterministic laws of science. Life literally turns around and begins pointing in a new direction, and miracles become the norm. You just have to decide to let this be possible for you and it will be, in the same way that you must decide to let tulpas be real for you in order to experience them. It's not always easy to change your views about what is possible, but your tulpas can help if you ask them to.

I know that sounds pretty far out but there is some hard science behind it, and it just works. Here is one place where you can go to get an understanding of the physics behind how this works: http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102

The holographic universe by micheal talbot you should soon!

Incredibly well layed out in this book. Whats fascinating is how this is really an extention of the Golden Mean movement which science is slowly catching up to.
