Holographic Psychology

HOLOGRAPHIC PSYCHOLOGY

Explains the Missing Stage
In Human Evolution Existentialism’s
Pre-Existing Potential

This lesson will act as a facilitator for the reader who is ready to understand an overview of the multiple realities that an awakening human being is capable of comprehending. It will explain in great detail the dynamics contained in what we named “Holographic Psychology” and will highlight how three different levels of comprehension produce three different self-images or world views.

In order for us to comprehend the material that we will be reading, it is necessary that we understand some major distinctions in the meanings we apply to the language we use. Some of the many questions a person on this path will ask and discover are:  Do we use knowledge or information to justify our reality? If there is a difference, what is it? Is our reality the same reality as everyone else’s? If two people have different realities, how can they communicate? Is my current meaning about reality merely beliefs that I have assumed? Can I discover the difference between my beliefs and truth? Whose truth? What makes something true? What basis do I use to justify the factual or certain nature of my current beliefs? Do I have an ability to question areas of knowledge that I currently know nothing about? Why would I question about areas of knowledge that I currently know nothing about? Is there a motivation built into my nature or is motivation caused by others? If learning is caused by others, how would my current ignorance comprehend such input before I have any understanding of that input? Who or what is this I feel is me? Is it only a body that is born, lives and dies? Or is there a part of me awaiting discovery that transcends the physical me? How do I make this discovery?

Explained with the help of Holographic Psychology (HP), these are some of the questions that motivate you and me to be on a journey of recognition. An exciting journey that exposes a human’s Pre-Existing Potential to comprehend both early and advanced levels of understanding.

HP is a structured model of paradigm shifts that take place within every human being on his/her pathway to illumination. We will discover the importance of the science of matter as both materialism and idealism. We will discover the importance of the Science of Mind as both individual use and Universal source. We will discover the importance of the Science of Spirit (SOS), as both individual use and as a Universal source.

Our journey is an awakened ability to be reflective upon what we currently believe and a strong drive (motivation) to comprehend and TEST what we currently do not believe or know nothing about. Yes, when differences clash with our current belief-system, some form of testing or validation is of monumental benefit. The history of how and why we are where we are is now capable of being comprehended by every reflective human being.

WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY!

We will start our journey of discovery by reading a quotation by two renowned scientists who are discussing the latest developments in how science is joining other fields of knowledge in the twenty-first century. In their book, The Matter Myth, Dramatic Discoveries That Challenge Our Understanding of Physical Reality. Starting on page 7, Paul Davies and John Gribbin tell us:

• “The word ‘revolution’ is rather overworked in science. Nevertheless, even those people with merely a casual interest in matters scientific will be aware that some truly revolutionary changes are currently taking place. We refer not so much to the scientific discoveries that are happening all the time, nor to the many wonderful advances in technology. True, these changes are revolutionary enough in themselves. There is, however, a far more profound transformation taking place in the underlying science itself...in the way that scientists view their world."
   

• The philosopher Thomas Kuhn has argued that scientists build their conception of reality around specific ‘paradigms’. A paradigm is not a theory, as such, but a framework of thoughts (conceptual scheme) around which the data of an experiment and its observation are organized. From time to time in the history of ideas, a shift occurs in the basic paradigm. When this happens, not only do scientific theories change, but the scientists’ conception of the world changes as well. That is what is happening now.

• As we move into the twenty-first century, science is throwing off the shackles of three hundred centuries of thought in which a particular paradigm called ‘mechanism’ has dominated the world view of scientists. In its simplest terms, mechanism is the belief that the physical Universe is nothing but a collection of material particles in interaction, a gigantic purposeless machine, of which the human body and brain are unimportant and insignificant parts.
   

• The movement toward a ‘post-mechanistic’ twenty-first-century science, is taking place across a broad front: in cosmology, in the chemistry of self-organizing systems, in the new physics of chaos, in quantum mechanics and particle physics, in the information sciences and (more reluctantly) at the interface of biology with physics. In all these areas scientists have found it fruitful, or even essential, to regard the portion of the Universe they are studying in entirely new terms, terms that bear little relation to the old ideas of materialism and the cosmic machine. This monumental paradigm shift is bringing with it a new perspective on human beings and their role in the great drama of nature.
   

• A particular paradigm is neither right nor wrong, but merely reflects a perspective...an aspect of reality that may prove more or less fruitful depending on circumstances. Much like how a myth, although not literally true, often contains allegorical insights that prove to be fruitful, depending on circumstances. The mechanistic paradigm proved to be so successful that there has been an almost universal tendency to identify it with reality; to see it not as an aspect of truth but as the whole truth. Now increasing numbers of scientists are coming to recognize the limitations of the materialistic view of nature and to appreciate that there is more to the world than cogs in a gigantic machine.”

Human beings have been told that they are both immortal, and that they are nothing. That they are both Divine and an illusion. An extension of God and an extension of their own wish fulfillment. That there is a heaven and a hell in their afterlife and that their current life is only a dream or a nightmare. That only the strong survive or is it that only those practicing love are saved? Perhaps bliss or wisdom is the answer? The answer to what? To whom? Where? When? How?

Were we created by a God, a Goddess, or some Big Bang? Are we created as an evolving product or are we created as a finished product? If we are evolving, where is the potential that causes our evolution? From the outside, inside, neither or both?

Are we a machine made of matter or are we consciousness that forms and we name that form, “matter”? How can we ask these questions or understand the answers if there is no pre-existing knowledge or wisdom Source existing to recognize the answers? Is religion or science or both (or neither) the answer? Are there many answers and if so, how do we recognize the one that is right for us? Is there a right answer?

Do we have free will or is there a pattern or DNA within us somewhere? How can we overcome our operant conditioning in order to utilize any potential spiritual DNA? Could our lives be patterned before we are born or do we become our essence after we are born? Is there an afterlife for us? Or is there just ongoing Life itself? Are we many separate selves or is there just one self/SELF with many names? Is the answer none, or part of, or all of the above?

Does knowledge pre-exist my becoming aware of it, and, if so, where, when, how and why do we not know this knowledge consciously before we do if it pre-exists? Do we forget? What makes us remember? Is it my current me, or some other me that remembers? How can we tell the difference?

Does learning come from the outside or is learning remembering from the inside? The inside of what, where, and how would such remembering happen? Is remembering from an individual source or is it from a Universal Source?

These are but some of the questions that have been asked by humans and continue to be asked by humans when developing their philosophical world view. As researchers into the nature of reality, these lessons are a process of facilitating both these questions and some answers that philosophers have given to us throughout history. We are also facilitating a comprehendible system named “Holographic Psychology” that we believe is an explanation of the awakening nature of a human being, when they become motivated to search for such comprehension.

This search is only made more difficult when, or if, we are unaware of entertaining options to our current beliefs...ones that we have philosophically accepted as facts, truth or certainty. How we can realize the difference and/or test such differences is the heart of Holographic Psychology.
