A hologram?
In his final years with us, Philip K. Dick wrote that the universe is a hologram. He wrote of two universes which broke apart. He wrote of many other things in his 8000 page Exegesis, which he worked on from 1974 until his death in 1982.
As I just said, Philip K. Dick died in 1982, and these things he wrote about mostly in the late 70s.
In 1982, considerable evidence surfaced that the universe might be a hologram. A link for you.
In the 1990s, Michio Kaku (and others) published texts stating that, at the beginning of time, the universe split from a 10-dimensional space into one 4- and one 6- dimensional space. This comes from string theory.
There's more, of course, but why spoil it? If this seems at all interesting, grab a copy of VALIS, The Divine Invasion, and the Exegesis (which afaik you can only get in bits and pieces from various books.) Get a few books on quantum physics and string theory and read up on it. That's what I'm doing, but you probably shouldn't take my word on it all.
The thing which interests me, though - over the next few decades, how many more of PKD's ideas will start to gain some basis as scientific theory?
Anyway, at this point, I'm beginning to convince myself that the world is in fact a hologram and our world is simply a projection of light through it. Due to quantum uncertainty in the position of the particles which make up the hologram, we may see things incorrectly. Or maybe there's some sort of multi-read correction system? Possibly through the noosphere? But if the universe is a hologram and it changes in time due to the fundamental uncertainty of particles, does that give the I Ching credibility? I mean, maybe the I Ching is capable of determining the Moment by deciphering how the particular diviner is seeing things through the hologram? It would make sense, if the universe is a hologram, for the I Ching to work.
It seems I'll need to do more research into the Eastern religions to answer many of these questions. Blah.
