Interesting concept, good read.
I'm still not sure about it though...needs a bit more to it.
Also interesting that it's just now catching on,
back when I read it, it was still considered slightly "unscientific".

I read the Micheal Talbot book back in the early '90s and it blew me away at the time (I was 15 or 16 at the time). Looking back there was a lot of New-Age mumbo jumbo in it about how this could account for all kinds of unexplained phenomena like ESP.
The problem is that ESP is a non-existent phenomena! So it doesn't need explaining. I can't think of any proper scientific trials where it has been empirically demonstrated.
David Bohm wrote a very heavy book explaining his theory which I have attempted to read a few times but without much success. I got the impression that he is a very very smart, but very very weird guy.
For anyone interested it's called "Wholeness and the Implicate order"
Implicate order was his name for the larger reality that underlay our "holographic" universe.
