In the late 19th century James Maxwell reconciled the disparate phenomena related to electricity and magnetism in a theory of Electro-Magnetism (E-M) which showed that visible light is a sub-set of a vast electro-magnetic spectrum of vibrational frequencies that pervade the entire universe.
His equations that describe the E-M Field laid the groundwork for Albert Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity - showing that space and time, matter and energy are all interwoven by light. Quantum theory too has come to understand that the two other fundamental forces of the universe that govern the attributes of atomic and sub-atomic behavior arise from the deeper nature of E-M. And that gravity, rather than being considered a ‘force' can be more appropriately understood as a ‘consequence' of spacetime - itself intrinsically conjoined by light.
The study of black holes - famously once thought so dense that even light could not escape their gravitational pull, are now not only understood to radiate E-M energy - but has provided an even more profound insight into the nature of reality.
For research shows that all the information held within the volume of a Black Hole, is proportional to its surface area. This is called the holographic principle, because two-dimensional holographic patterns are also able to project a three-dimensional image of an object when light is shone through them. Extension of this revolutionary understanding by string theorists and cosmologists is proposing that the entire three-dimensional universe - and everything in it, including ourselves - may actually be holographically projected from its two-dimensional boundary; literally all that we call physical reality is a cosmic hologram.
It also reveals that it is the information held within the hologram that is more fundamental than space, time, matter and energy.
The mathematics that underpins the holographic principle reveals that holographic reality is manifested at all scale of existence through the geometry of fractals. Evidence for such an emerging vision is accumulating not only at cosmological scales, but at its most fundamental level at the almost unimaginably minute Planck scale which is as tiny compared to the size of an atom as the atom is to the size of the entire universe.
Enormously significantly, the evidence is revealing these patterns at the levels of our everyday lives, not only throughout the ‘natural' world of coastlines, ecosystems and weather patterns but in our ‘man-made' choices; from the building of cities and the behavior of financial markets to the engagement of conflicts.
Related research is adding to the understanding that the holographic patterns of fractal information only become ‘real' when observed/measured. So we are discovering an innately interconnected and intelligent whole-world where we are both creation and co-creators of our realities.
Our beliefs, thoughts and emotions affect what we experience as being real. And in such a coherent and resonant whole-world each of us intrinsically affects the whole - as equally the whole oneness is manifested through the myriad many.
On biological levels, our holographically patterned bio-system at multiple levels of vibrational coherence embodies information and consciousness. Our thoughts and emotions both ‘imagined' and in response to our experiences co-create patterns that are energetically embedded. And where traumatized, dysfunctional and/or distorted can lead to chronic disease.
However, when we can become more self-aware and transcend the limited perceptions of our ego persona, the heightened coherence of our transpersonal consciousness can energetically release such trauma and aid personal and collective healing.
