Maya
and Holographic Universe
"I am not
located in space but space is located in me---Lord Krishna in Holy Gita"
Is this
world real or unreal, depends on from what point of reference the question is
asked. From the point of view of carpet seller, carpet is real. But from point
of view of chemist, there is no material called carpet.
Maya is neither
real nor unreal. It is not real because it ceases to exist when Brahman is
realized.Maya is cause of Creation, Brahman is the nominal cause for
Creation.It is also substantial cause and undifferentiated cause for Creation.
Veil caused by Maya is of two types—one covering truth and other is projection
[appearing to be true]. Creator is both intelligent and material cause of this
Universe. He cannot be outside UNIVERSE, because then He will have to create
outside Universe. He cannot be inside Universe as it will be limited by
creation. So He and creation cannot be separated. If creation is infinite, so
must be Creator. Vedanta says consciousness is Brahman. Objects in world are
made of electrons, protons, neutrons assembled in different ways. Essentially
we come to a limiting case where observations of the material content depend on
observer, a conscious entity. The implication is---that investigation of fundamental
blocks of Universe is futile unless one takes in to consideration the role of
CONSCIOUSNESS.
Now let us examine
what science/ Quantum physics says about this issue:-
It is senses
which make our external world. Brain does not encounter original matter but
receives its electric signals. Brain converts these waves in to particles which
form images and projects reality out to perceive. We then watch this colorful
world inside our dark brain. Our body too is an image formed by our brain.
Human brain creates reality out of electric waves it receives from external
world. It translates these waves in to a holographic physical reality to be seen/perceived
by us. Brain is like movie projector and this Universe a holographic projection
around earth.
Electrons
which are building blocks of what we call reality are not solid particles at
all but exist as waves. Nature of electron changes when we look at it or try to
measure it. It changes from wave to particle in a specific location in space
and time.—which is what we see a reality. It also means world which we do not
see/observe is a flowing Quantum Soup. It freezes when we look at it and turns
it in to reality.
This
universe is three dimensional projection of two dimensional reality behind it.
This Universe is a holographic representation around this earth. We are part of
this hologram, not looking at hologram. Quantum physics states Consciousness is
playing a role in this Universe
CONSCIOUSNESS-------FIELD-----------BRAIN--------REALITY
[a 3Dmovie we perceive]
It is
Consciousness which chooses specific wave frequencies from field which go to
our Brain. Brain converts these frequencies in space/ time to particles and out
pops out holographic reality which we perceive. We have free will to react but cannot
create.
From the
above one can find close similarities between scientific views and Vedantic
views of this beautiful world we see
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Teacher is there to guide you. We have all to do our own research to get enlightened. This world is indeed a holographic universe, it is fascinating to know how the mind creates this universe from sensory input and electric currents called action potential. Who would have thought that something similar was described in Paramarthasara an ancient Kashmiri text.
