THE HOLOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE ? “I AM”

“The hologram does not look like the object at all, but gives rise to an image when it is suitably illuminated.  The hologram seems, on cursory inspection, to have no significant order in it, and yet there must somehow be in it an order that determines the order of points that will appear in the image when it is illuminated.  We may call this order implicit, but the base root of the word implicit means ‘enfolded.’  So in some sense, the whole object is enfolded in each part of the hologram rather being in point-to-point correspondence.  We may therefore say that each part of the hologram contains an enfolded order essentially similar to that of the object and yet obviously different in form.”

…Everybody has many experiences of this implicate order.  The most obvious one is ordinary consciousness, in which consciousness enfolds everything that you know or see.  It doesn’t merely enfold the universe, but you act according to the content as well. Therefore you are internally related to the whole in the sense that you act according to the consciousness of the whole.

…..IT is only in the whole that the thing is complete.  This makes it clear that we are not acting mechanistically, in the sense that we would be pushed and pulled by objects in the surroundings, but rather we act according to our consciousness of them so if you are not conscious of them you cannot act intelligently toward them.  Consciousness, therefore, is really our most immediate experience of this implicate order.
