A 2012 study out of Bonn University led to a new round of speculation about the nature of the universe.
The study proposes that cosmic rays undergo a strange energy shift. The
energies are "re-fitted" to align with an underlying pattern or
lattice. There is only one proper fit; no exceptions are permitted.
If the lattice is, indeed, a basic pixel-like Reality we are interacting
with every day of our lives, then we could be living inside a created
artifice.
A simulation.
Put this description alongside the hypothesis that the universe is a
hologram: lines of code inscribed on a two-dimensional surface deliver
instructions on how the lattice is built, and what its properties are.
In other words, the software which holographically projects the universe includes the exact structure of the lattice.
Then, by the rules of the game, energies which don't automatically plug
into the lattice framework precisely as they're supposed to are "snapped
to" a correct fit, as Mike Adams (Natural News) has suggested.
Mike has made the analogy to a television picture, which consists of
pixels that have their own dimensions and structure. So if we imagine
an all-encompassing "television picture," this would be the
lattice-controlled reality we live in.
In the long-term project of putting together my collections
The Matrix Revealed and
Exit From The Matrix, I did a great deal of research on other notions of creation or "reality-building."
It is clear that at deep levels, propaganda turns into self-propaganda.
In order to live inside a Matrix or universe, we would have to produce,
in ourselves, an extraordinary level of amnesia about what we can
create.
The ancient Tibetans knew a great deal about this conundrum. Before
they became a theocratic society of rites and rituals and a rigorous
elitism, they were daring adventurers on the edge of experiments in
consciousness.
Relying on the teachings of itinerant outcast adepts from India, they
developed a practice called, by a few later scholars, "deity
visualization." (See John Blofeld,
The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet)
Perhaps based on an already existing mandala-painting, a teacher would
give his student a very detailed and specific "personage" to create in
his imagination. This effort, if it was successful at all, might take
months or even years.
The objective was to mentally hold the complex image intact, in every
detail, not just for a few seconds or minutes, but indefinitely. If the
student was successful at this arduous task, he would soon find that
the personage he created seemed to take on a life of its own.
The personage or deity would become the student's friend and guide and
give him valuable advice and counsel. When the teacher sensed this
relationship had progressed to a very close point, he would order the
student to get rid of the personage altogether.
This, it was said, was more difficult than the original act of creating
it. But if the student was able to perform both aspects (creative and
destructive) of the exercise, he would then realize, see, and know, with
full consciousness, that THE UNIVERSE WAS A PRODUCT OF MIND.
At that crossroad, he would be able to spontaneously take apart pieces
of "the hologram" or "the lattice," and even create (out of nothing) new
objects that hadn't existed before.
Perhaps those Tibetan adepts, in their practice, actually saw the
lattice or even the two-dimensional surface on which the holographic
code of the cosmos is inscribed.
Another clue concerning the origin or underlying force that made the
universe is revealed through a study of the famous alchemical diagram:
two crossed staves.
The four endpoints were said to represent the basic aspects or elements
of Nature: earth, air, fire, and water. According to some alchemical
interpretations, these elements were in eternal conflict with one
another.
The resolution of the conflict was represented by the center-place where
the two staves met. This mysterious intersection was called
Quintessence, and its meaning was long debated.
Paracelsus, one of the most famous of the European alchemists, seems to
have thought that Quintessence was, in fact, imagination.
In other words, our creative power could change the inherent design of reality.
The history of millions of artists on this planet directly points to the
fact that, when freed from restraints, human beings become enormously
creative. Every painting, play, poem, novel is a world of its own; a
universe. This suggests that the physical universe is but one work of
art, out of a possible infinity of universes.
William Blake made several remarkable statements about the power of imagination:
"Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...and some scarce see nature
at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is
imagination itself."
"Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow."
Of course, the notion of multiple universes is reflected in contemporary science. Physicist Brian Greene, author of
The Hidden Reality,
explains that Relativity and Quantum Theory, each highly useful in its
own way, come into high mathematical conflict when set side by side.
One resolution of that conflict can be achieved through String Theory,
in which tiny vibrating strings (in 10 or 11 dimensions) explain the
makeup of this universe. But String Theory also suggests many surfaces
or membranes or islands on which matter, energy, and time can exist:
multiple universes.
No matter what force or power we say made this universe, a new day is
here. We are coming to grips with the idea that the universe isn't all
the reality there is. Some find this disturbing. Others are inspired
to feel it is intensely liberating.
Yet another hypothesis: we are living in an interpenetration of several
simultaneous universes or planes of existence. And they're all here
now, if we could see them.
The rigorous lattice or holographic code defining this universe is merely the way one plane of existence is structured.
Rather than reduce all possible universes to the principles on which
this one may be built, why not consider many, many other such "works of
art?" Each universe is constructed or improvised out of the infinite
well of creative freedom...
