Physicists have found that particles can be waves at the same time because they are not real physical waves like sound or water waves, but rather they are probability waves. Probability waves do not represent probabilities of things, but rather probabilities of interconnections. this is a tough concept to understand, but essentially the physicists are saying there is no such thing as a "thing." What we used to call "things" are really "events" or paths that might become events. Our old world of solid objects and the deterministic laws of nature is now dissolved into a world of wave-like patterns of interconnections. Concepts like "elementary particle," "material substance" or "isolated object" have lost their meaning. The whole universe appears as a dynamic web of inseparable energy patterns. the universe is thus defined as a dynamic inseparable whole which always includes the observer in an essential way. If the universe is indeed composed of such a web, there is (logically) no such thing as a part. Thus we are not separated parts of a whole. We are a Whole. Recently, physicist Dr. David Bohm said in his book The Implicate Order that primary physical laws cannot be discovered by a science that attempts to break the world into its parts. He has written of an "implicate enfolded order" which exists in an unmanifested state and is the foundation upon which all manifest reality rests. He calls this manifest reality "the explicate unfolded order." "Parts are seen to be in immediate connection, in which their dynamical relationships depend in an irreducible way on the state of the whole system.... Thus, one is led to a new notion of unbroken wholeness which denies the classical idea of analyzability of the world into separately and independently existent parts." Dr. Bohm states that the holographic view of the universe is a jumping-off place to begin to understand the implicate enfolded and explicate unfolded orders. The hologram concept states that every piece is an exact representation of the whole and can be used to reconstruct the entire hologram. In 1971, Dennis Gabor received a Nobel Prize for constructing the first hologram. It was a lensless photograph in which a wave field of light scattered by an object was recorded as an interference pattern on a plate. When the hologram or photograph recording is placed in a laser or coherent light beam, the original wave pattern is regenerated in a three-dimensional image. Every piece of the hologram is an exact representation of the whole and will reconstruct the entire image. Dr. Karl Pribram, a renowned brain researcher, has accumulated evidence over a decade that the brain's deep structure is essentially holographic. He states that research from many laboratories by sophisticated analysis of temporal and/or spatial frequencies demonstrates that the brain structures sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch holographically. The information is distributed throughout the system, so that each fragment can produce the information of the whole. Dr. Pribram uses the hologram model to describe not only the brain, but the universe as well. He states that the brain employs a holographic process to abstract from a holographic domain that transcends time and space. Parapsychologists have searched for the energy that might transmit telepathy, psychokinesis and healing. From the point of view of the holographic universe, these events emerge from frequencies that transcend time and space; they don't have to be transmitted. They are potentially simultaneous and everywhere. When we will speak of energy fields of the aura in this book, we will be using very archaic terms from the point of view of these physicists. The phenomenon of the aura is clearly both inside and outside linear time and three-dimensional space. As in the case studies I have already presented, I "saw" the events of Ed's puberty when he broke his coccyx because he carried that experience with him in his energy field. The "shaft" of the lover can be perceived in the present energy field, and the clairvoyant can apparently go back in time and witness the event as it happened. A great many of the experiences related in this book require more than three dimensions for explanation; many of them appear to be instantaneous. The ability to see inside the body at any level with a varying resolution could imply the use of additional dimensions. The ability to perceive events from the past by simply asking for that information, or to see a probably event and then to change that event by intervening through the healing process, could imply nonlinear time. The ability to see an event that will take place in the future goes beyond linear time. In using the concept of the fields to describe the aura, we will be steeped in dualism; that is, we will separate the field from us and observe "it" as a phenomenon that exists as "part" of us. We will use terms like "my field" and "her aura," etc. This is dualistic. I must apologize for this and say that frankly, at this point, I am quite unable to convey these experiences without using the old frameworks. From the holographic framework of reality each piece of the aura not only represents, but also contains, the whole. Thus, we can only describe our experience with a phenomenon that we both at the same time observe and create. Every observation creates an effect on the observed pattern. We are not just part of the pattern; we are the pattern. It is us and we are it, only the term "it" now needs to be abandoned and replaced with some other, more appropriate term to release the blocks we experience in our brains when we try to communicate. Physicists have used the terms "probabilities of interconnections" or "dynamic web of inseparable energy patterns." When we begin to think in terms of a dynamic web of inseparable energy patterns, all the auric phenomena described in this book do not appear particularly unusual or strange. all experience is interconnected. Therefore, if we become aware of this and allow that interconnectedness into our cognitive processes, we can be aware of all events independent of all time. But as soon as we say "we," we have fallen back into dualism. It is hard to experience this connectedness when our major experience of life is dualistic. Holistic awareness will be outside linear time and three-dimensional space and therefore will not be easily recognized. We must practice holistic experience to be able to recognize it. Meditation is one way of transcending the limits of the linear mind and allows the connectedness of all things to become an experiential reality. This reality is very hard to communicate in words, because we use words in a linear fashion. We need to develop vocabulary by which we can lead each other into these experiences. In Japanese Zen meditation, the masters give students a short phrase to concentrate on. The phrase, called a koan, is designed to help students transcend linear thought. Here is one of my favorites: What is the sound of one hand clapping? My reaction to this well-known koan is to find myself stretching out into the universe on a pattern of unheard sound that seems to flow on forever. |
