In last month’s post, my protagonist Marjorie Veil experiences seemingly random events that affect her in a life-altering way and jar her out of her own little world.
She starts paying closer attention to the subtle and not-so-subtle messages from the universe that continue to pop up in her daily life, via signs, symbols, and clues. There’s communication all around her. The trick is to break through the barrier of misunderstanding through acute and sustained awareness.
As a result, Marjorie opens up to a whole new realm of possibilities.
And more shocking discoveries.
Psychologist Dr. Tony Mendez helps her make sense of her non-ordinary experiences using the holographic model of the universe. “The world inside and outside our head,” he explains, “are not always clearly delineated. The holographic theory suggests that there is a fifth dimension or parallel reality, which most people do not possess the sensory skills to perceive. The holographic theory is also compatible with Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious, derived from our two-million-year-old collective history, which we may be able to tap into through our dreams.”
The Holographic Universe in Fiction
Between Will and Surrender: Chapters Fourteen and Fifteen
Marjorie stumbles upon a mystery at the grave site of a member of the Ohlone/Costanoan Esselen Tribe. A mystery related to the mirror she’d purchased at an antique store in Carmel Valley. A mystery beyond scientific understanding and contrary to her worldview.
Somehow, she has formed an extrasensory interconnectedness, possibly a moving picture or holographic memory of a past experience that becomes accessible to her perception.
Dr. Mendez assures her that she is not going insane.
“In a holographic universe,” he says, “our brains operate as a holographic frequency analyzer, decoding projections from a dimension where even space and time may not exist as we perceive them.”
Heady stuff, right?
Poor Marjorie.
Join me next month as she learns more about the Ohlone/Costanoan Esselen Tribe. And more about herself than she prefers to know.
If you’d like to learn more about the holographic model of the universe, I suggest a book titled The Holographic Universe, by Michael Talbot.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, heady stuff. Will have to watch that video at least a few more times in order to wake up some further parts of my brain (mind) to get it.
Yes, Vic. No matter how many times I watch this video, my brain doesn’t get it. There’s so much in this world that we may never understand. The part that fascinates me is that what the video attempts to explain might be true.
