Holographic Universe

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

A Joke;   I wanted to give up smoking.

                I gave myself an incentive to stop.

                I put a £50.00 note in my cigarette packet.

                I promised myself that I will only smoke after I have burn that £5000 note, and not before.

               That kept me off the weed for two days.
    
               On the third day, true to my word, I set light to the £50.00 note.

               Only then did I light up my cigarette.

              Am I not good?


Our Holographic Universe:

            A Physicist by the name of Bohm, and a Psychologist by the name or Pribram have come up with a theory that our Universe is one big Hologram.

             Hologram is where we see a three dimensional image in space, but when we try to capture that image, we find that there is nothing there.

              The image is a projection of patterns on a holographic film.

              The Holographic Universe Theory suggests that all of the Universe is first a vast void, filled with latent Energy, the "implicate" state of things.

               This Energy projects the latent states enfolded within the "void' to create our matter.

                This matter is not different to what we call consciousness.

                As with Einstein'd space-time being one unity, so is matter-consciousness, one unity.

                The variance in the apparent animate and inanimate objects is in the degree to which a particular aspect of the matter-consciousness dominates in that particular region of the "void."

                 Essentially everything, all time, is just ONE BIG UNITY.

                Our so solid world, all Universe, is just an abstract hologram like image.

                The proponents of the Theory, scientists that they are, have firm logical clues that leads them to their conclusions.

               I think it amazing that their ideas so match the ideas of mystics.

                The world we live in is a "maya" an illusion, they say.

                 They also say that all matter and life originate from one Energy, they call it "Brahama' and dissolves it back into that very source. The cycle is repeated ever anon.

                 They also say that we are all one undivided whole.

                 The mystics also say that even a stone has a soul.

                 The implications of this Theory being true are immense.

                  It means that we are divine beings, permanently drawing our energy from one Source.

                   We have the ability to draw the energy we need from that Source, so we are co-creators with the Source in creating the life we want.

                  We are all connected. I cannot harm you without harming myself at the same time.

                   The solid world, including my body,  is just energy vibrations, and I can mould that with my own thoughts and feelings, inspired by the Source.

                  Absorb from all this what ever you will.

                  Wishing you joy and abundance,   Shree-1

          

          

Nature of Reality

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?'

    I had an occasion to broach the subject of the nature of reality to an 84 year old lady.

    Through her 84 years of life she has been brought up to believe in a God who grants favours or punishments, ho needs prayers, devotion time every day.

    With that belief is also intertwined a belief in karma, or fate. One's deeds in another past life causes situations that make life a pleasure or a suffering.

    There was no way I could get her to change her conceptions.

    I tried to reason with her that

  -   there is no super person out in heavens above who judges our actions and grants us favours or problems.

  -  there is no fate or karma. Each individual soul decides before birth as a human being the experiences it want on this plane.

  - one's life style is not set in stone. With thinking, feelings and inspired actions resulting from these two, one can alter one's life to suit one's needs.

   - pain or pleasure are how one reacts to events. They are not the events themselves.


  I tried to reason these things with her.

 Regret my reasoning seemed to her to verge on insanity.

 She was essentially sad at her circumstances. I so wanted her to be cheered up. I wanted her to adopt my style of nature of reality to make her life a pleasure, a joy, 24/7

 But I felt she was comfortable with her pain, her fate, that she had to endure, and let her be so.

 Is this how most elderly people stoically accept the miseries of life? That life is a drudgery to be endured with a smiling face, as a clown, until death frees one from the torture?

 Wishing you joy and abundance,    Shree-1


     

Never give up.

Hello!  Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

     Have I given up wanting to make it a better world?
  
     It would seem so, from my fewer attempts to solve my puzzle.

     I like to think that my frequent tweets at http://twitter.com/macrofacts has kept going my search for answers to my question.

     Perhaps there is no way I, or any other person can the world better in any way.

     Perhaps each one of us can only make our own selves better, and then the world we encounter will be a better world.

     How can I make myself better?

     By being at peace and harmony with myself, and with all people, events and things I come across.

     In theory I should be able to remain at peace with myself, find happiness, in any circumstance of my life, because my peace and happiness is not dependent on outside circumstances.

     No one or no events are responsible for how I feel. Only I decide how I want to feel.

     All very well to say.

     Can one be "happy" in any circumstance?

     I think the answer to that question must be a resounding "Yes."

     Viktor Frankl suffered many years as a concentration camp victim. Yet he survived to tell the world, in his "Man's Search For Meaning" that one CAN adopt an attitude of contentment in most trying of circumstances. It would seem that Frankl survived the concentration camp sorely because of his "positive attitude."

     Another person who reports the "joy" experienced even in a disaster is writer Brandon Bays.

     In her book "Freedom Is" she writes of her feelings when she came to a scene with her house, all her possessions, had gone up in flames in a forest fire.

     She writes at her wonder at the deep blue sky she could see from where she was standing, her view unobstructed because there never was her house standing there in between.

      In the story of "Ben Hur" is wrongly accused by a Roman Garrison Captain to spend years in a galley as a slave rower.

    His quiet acceptance of his fate means that he survives the brutality to regain his freedom with all glory.

    So, my feeling now is that even if i now feel oppressed by my circumstances, I should not give up on my own integrity, my inner peace and fortitude, but keep my hope alive.

   My inner peace, being enjoined with the infinite unfathomable forces that are at the root of our existence. will surely make events proceed to make my wishes come true.

   I do not need to make the world any better.

   If I make myself better, and if everyone else makes it that they do allow themselves to suffer by their circumstances, they will make themselves, and the world, a better place to live in.

   Wishing you every joy and abundance, Shree-1
