Episode 15: A Glitch In The Matrix – A Holographic Reality?
\n<\/strong><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

When you look around at your present surroundings, and everything around you. You get the instinctive feeling that you\u2019re living in a three-dimensional world, full of shapes, textures, patterns, objects of all types. You have the feeling that you can interact with these physical objects \u2013 like that chair you may be sitting in. That smart phone, you might be holding in your hand. This gives you an instant subjective feeling in your body \u2013 of their depth, size, temperature, texture, and weight. This all combined, gives you a sense of the physical space around you, and more importantly, your location within it.<\/p>\n

But! What if this experience, of space, location, and depth of being is simply an illusion? A construct in your mind, that is only sustained from moment to moment? What if the solidarity and shape of the world around you is in fact, a very well orchestrated hallucination, produced by your brain? What if we actually lived in a space that is purely informational? A space where matter and energy are not our realities basic qualities? What if we live in a place, in a reality, where everything is solely a construct of the mind?<\/p>\n

Many people have had experiences that have simply left them scratching their heads, wondering what just happened to them. Experiences, that can\u2019t be explained by any methods known to humankind. So many people have had experiences like this that the popular website Reddit<\/a> has a whole group and subsection devoted to this subject. It is a very interesting, and to me, fascinating topic. And one that I feel, is worthy of a little deeper investigation. So, the question is \u2013 will you take the red pill and join me? As we see how deep this rabbit hole goes, in this part of the Shadowlands\u2026. Let\u2019s begin our journey together<\/p>\n

On the eighth of April, nineteen-ninety-nine a movie was released that became an almost instant cult-classic and created a real buzz amongst some people. At the very least, it was a hugely successful movie, and made its star Keanu Reeves<\/a>, an almost household name. Hey Keanu \u2013 if you\u2019re listening to this? Call me! I would love to have a chat with you! Ah well, dreams are free eh\u2026. All, joking aside I am of course referring to the movie \u2018The Matrix\u2019\u2026. During this episode I am going to reference the matrix a lot. Because it is appropriate to this particular subject, and because I just love the movie.<\/p>\n

After the movie came out, a new term came into popular phraseology \u2013 called \u2018A glitch in the Matrix\u2019. But what does this term mean precisely? Well, the Urban Dictionary<\/a> gives some good explanations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Referencing the Matrix movie and, referring to a human experiencing d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu as caused by the machine that controls the matrix, creating an alteration to the matrix, or program.<\/li>\n
  2. An explanation for an unlikely or irregular occurrence.<\/li>\n
  3. An account for a missing period of time or a lapse in the space-time continuum.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Friends Experience<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    This is my sister\u2019s friend\u2019s personal experiences, as related to her. Thanks Lynnie for sharing that.<\/p>\n

    \u201c\u2026A couple of instances where she\u2019s got emails from churches in China, and other places. Saying thank you for coming to speak to us, and she goes \u2013 but I\u2019ve never been there! And they send her back photos of her standing in their pulpit preaching. And, she\u2019s never been there \u2013 you know? And, one time she spent three days with this group of people, she has absolutely no recollection of ever meeting. And, has no passport stamp that shows that she was in their country, at that time.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    What is a hologram?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    A hologram, is something that you all are probably very familiar with, from seeing them in frequent use these days \u2013 like the security device ones that are, or used to be embedded into credit cards. They look three dimensional, but in fact are only embedded in a very thin strip of film. Or, like the ones used to project long dead recording artists onto stages, to perform with live musicians these days. Or even bigger ones used at some theme parks, and science museums, or projected onto the sides of buildings. Some of which truly look like the object is really there. You can walk around it, and see all of the objects details. But in reality, it\u2019s only a \u2018trick of the light\u2019. The hologram you see before your eyes, is only an image. The object really isn\u2019t there, but it\u2019s information is embedded in film, and then projected onto space in a way that makes it look physically real.<\/p>\n

    One property of a hologram, is that when you shine a laser at it the reflection of the laser beam will show a three-dimensional image of whatever picture is stored in the hologram. If you break the photographic plate that holds the hologram into many little pieces each individual piece stores the information of the entire picture. All that is lost in this case is a part of the resolution, so the smaller the piece, the fuzzier the three -dimensional image gets. But, it always shows the entire image, that the unbroken whole hologram showed in the beginning. This effect only applies to holograms which require a laser beam pointed at them to produce the image, not printed variety. Another way to look at it, is like a mirror. The mirror holds the whole image\u2026. The holographic projection. But, if you were to shatter that mirror, each piece of the broken parts will still hold the whole image.<\/p>\n

    How though, are holograms produced? Well, I\u2019m not here to go into great detail, and frankly, I don\u2019t entirely understand it, and its way beyond the scope of this podcast.\u00a0 But, simply, they are produced with a laser, and two beams of light. One beam, which is reflected off the object onto a film. The other beam simply acts as a reference. When a laser is projected through the film, the three-D image comes to life.<\/p>\n

    So, in order to really understand, glitches in the matrix, and to give this subject some sort of grounding \u2013 so to speak. \u00a0We need to understand a little about the Holographic Universe Theory<\/a>, and, what it is. I am not a scientist, neither am I a physicist, and this is not the platform to go into these in any great detail. I am however, passionately interested in this subject, and indeed in the subject of quantum physics. I love it, and find it endlessly fascinating.<\/p>\n

    A few minutes past, I referenced the famous \u2018Matrix<\/a>\u2019 movie, which was the first of three in the series \u2013 which depicted a world in which artificially intelligent robots enslaved humanity within a holographic simulation set within today\u2019s world. And, they used the energy from the bodies that they had stored, in a sort of stasis, to power themselves. But this was by no means the first movie that had been made with the theme that this world was a simulated reality. Here are some others:<\/p>\n
