Here’s a summary of the book that this video is based on. I recommend the book to anyone whose interest is piqued by the video. Also highly worth checking out part two of the video (linked in another comment)

📘 The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot — What It’s About

The Holographic Universe explores a radical idea: that reality isn’t the solid, separate world we think it is, but more like a hologram — a unified, interconnected projection of information. Talbot weaves together science, psychology, mysticism, and paranormal phenomena to support this view.

1️⃣ The Holographic Model of Reality Talbot opens by introducing two key scientific influences:

• David Bohm’s quantum physics ideas, which suggest the universe has a deeper “implicate order” where everything is interconnected;
• Karl Pribram’s neurophysiology, proposing that the brain stores information holistically, like a hologram. From this he argues that both the cosmos and the human mind may operate holographically — meaning every part contains information about the whole.

2️⃣ Mind, Consciousness & Perception A big theme is that consciousness isn’t just a by-product of the brain, but central to reality itself. Talbot suggests:

• Our perception actively shapes what we experience;
• The mind extends beyond the physical brain (explaining things like dreams, intuition, telepathy, and psychic phenomena);
• Consciousness is a nonlocal field — not confined by space or time.

3️⃣ Parapsychology & Extraordinary Experiences Talbot brings in lots of case studies and real examples:

• Telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis;
• Near-death experiences (NDEs) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs);
• Miracles, “aura” vision, and other seemingly paranormal events. Within the holographic framework, these aren’t just oddities — they make sense as phenomena where information isn’t limited by ordinary physical boundaries.

4️⃣ Implications for Science & Spirituality The book doesn’t just talk physics — it bridges science with spiritual and mystical traditions. Talbot points out parallels between the holographic view and ancient wisdom about unity and interconnectedness. He invites readers to question assumptions about matter, time, space, and what it means to be “real”.

🔍 In short: Talbot’s The Holographic Universe argues that reality might be a hologram, that mind and matter are deeply interconnected, and that many mysterious human experiences could be windows into a deeper truth about the nature of existence.

We aren’t observing the hologram, we are a part of it

Holo (whole) gram (to draw or write)...only within all can each one draw from reality or write fiction. Holding onto fiction establishes the optical interference pattern within oneself.

One drawing (gram) from all (holo) implies being part of it...one writing/reading from one another implies observance.

neuroscience

One can only perceive (science/scio/to know) NOW...others suggest NEW (neuro) to manipulate ones perception.

our perception of the “hologram” known as “reality”

Holding onto "our" represents the fictitious hologram. Real implies each ones response (re) to all (al) aka a singular delineation of cause > effect.

intersection of... consciousness

Inter (within) sec (to separate) tion (action) implies an analytical process. Con (together) scious (to perceive) ness (denoting action) implies a shaped synthesis.

Intersection implies reality; consciousness represents fiction. Other words for consciousness...hivemind; gestalt intelligence; egregore; collective consciousness; mind coalescence; swarm intelligence; universal mind; group think etc.

Sounds cool, I hope to watch this soon! (And add to discussion)
