Parapsychology: The Holographic Universe:

The Holographic Universe is a concept that suggests the universe we experience is essentially a projection or a hologram, and that what we perceive as reality is just a representation of deeper, underlying information. This idea is based on theoretical physics, particularly in the fields of quantum mechanics and cosmology.
One of the key ideas behind the holographic model comes from the work of physicists like David Bohm and Karl Pribram. Bohm’s “Implicate Order” theory suggests that the apparent world we see is an unfolded version of an underlying, deeper reality (the implicate order). This is similar to how a hologram works: when a three-dimensional object is projected onto a flat surface, the image can still appear three-dimensional but is actually a pattern of light and information.
The holographic principle, popularized by physicists like Juan Maldacena, posits that all the information contained within a volume of space can be described by the information on the boundary of that space - much like a hologram. This theory was inspired by ideas about black holes, where information that falls into a black hole is thought to be encoded on its event horizon, and the interior is not needed to describe the information contained in the black hole.
From a philosophical perspective, the idea that our reality could be a holographic projection challenges how we understand space, time, and the nature of consciousness. If the universe is a hologram, it might imply that everything we experience could be illusory, and what we consider the “real world” might be a projection of information on a much deeper, more fundamental level.
This concept might intersect with the idea that consciousness can transcend physical boundaries, as the holographic model could suggest that consciousness isn’t confined to our immediate physical experience but could be connected to the greater cosmic information field.
