The laws of physics tell us that the very building blocks of what we see as solid matter are, in fact, insubstantial points of energy. These are aggregated together by the act of observation into an indistinct holographic image – analogous to a three-dimensional holographic picture before it is illuminated by laser light. In this case, the

The implications of this Bohm–Pribram holographic theory of reality are simply staggering; the universe is a vast hologram that is processed by an observer’s brain which is, in itself, a hologram that contains the whole universe! Is this what the non-scientific, but profoundly perceptive, philosopher Broad was trying to explain when he made the

In 1966 Pribram proposed that the brain might interpret information in a similar way to the process by which a hologram records an image. He suggested that the fine fibres in the nerve cells digitize incoming information and store the data in this format. The brain then decodes these stored memory traces in the way a hologram decodes, or more

We all have a right and left hippocampus, a right and left amygdala and a right and left thalamus. The exception is the pineal gland that sits in splendid and mysterious isolation.

The word ‘ecstatic’ is from the Greek ekstasis and means ‘standing outside oneself

‘Every soul has existed from the beginning; it has therefore passed through some worlds already, and will pass through others before it reaches the final consummation. It comes into the world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life.’ ORIGEN (EARLY-CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR)

The Kahuna and most shamanistic traditions use dreams as a way of communicating with the daemonic.

For the ancient Greeks the Eidolon was exactly as I use it in my first book – the lower, everyday ‘self’. By implication this means that there is a Higher Self that is a reflection of the gods. This being was called the ‘Daemon’ and I have continued to use this term to describe the part of us that knows that we have lived this life before.

It is reasonable to conclude, and many psychologists do conclude, that the ‘person’ who is speaking during a hypnotic session is in fact the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain. Thus by hypnotising a person we can communicate directly with their hidden self.
