Indeed, even our most fundamental notions about reality
become suspect, for in a holographic universe, as Pribram has
pointed out, even random events would have to be seen as
based on holographic principles and therefore determined.
Synchronicities or meaningful coincidences suddenly makes
sense, and everything in reality would have to be seen as a
metaphor, for even the most haphazard events would express
some underlying symmetry.

Whether Bohm and Pribram's holographic paradigm becomes
accepted in science or dies an ignoble death remains to be
seen, but it is safe to say that it has already had an
influence on the thinking of many scientists. And even if it
is found that the holographic model does not provide the best
explanation for the instantaneous communications that seem to
be passing back and forth between subatomic particles, at the
very least, as noted by Basil Hiley, a physicist at Birbeck
College in London, Aspect's findings "indicate that we must
be prepared to consider radically new views of reality".

"Today young men on acid realize that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves! Here's Tom with the weather."

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride?

And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey- don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."

And we... kill those people.

'Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.'

Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger
locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one
human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
