As humanity has travelled, both spiritually and intellectually, since the dawn of the Scientific Revolution, common ground has emerged between the spirit of our great religious teachings and science, which began, in part, as an attempt to describe and manage the Universe without any reference whatsoever to spirituality.
Perhaps beginning with special and general relativity, and their impact on Cosmology (namely, the idea that time has a definite beginning), and continuing with the advent of quantum mechanics, where the observer effects, and is implicated by, the observed, trends toward a kind of pseudo-spirituality have been on the rise in science since the early twentieth century.
But new developments can happen in the realm of spirituality, as well. The recent addition to the religious canon of the Christ-centered 'A Course in Miracles' (also called the Christian Vedanta by one of its 'scribes') has deepened our understandings of psychology, ontology, epistemology, eschatology, and the promise of universal redemption.
While we can't discuss or even feign to understand all the implications of these new developments in science and spirituality, we will share aspects of a wholistic vision involving holographic physics, a vision which sprang from personal practice of the spiritual discipline of 'A Course in Miracles' over fifteen or so years.
ACIM, as it is often called, is not the central focus of this website, although it is mentioned at points... the central theme is the holographic nature of our Cosmos. However, the practice of ACIM remains a constant ground tone which has supported our work.
INTRODUCTION
www.deserdi.xyz exists to share, serve and help develop insight regarding a pending scientific, spiritual and cultural transition to a Golden Age, a concept represented in the Vedas as the Satya Yuga, which cycles repeatedly with three other Yugas (or ages) through time. We wonder, though, if new developments in spirituality will hasten the arrival of the next Golden Age, and if, once there, we will stabilize in it, with only one more extended Golden Age being enough to mop up our planetary and personal karma.
Primarily, this website studies an emerging sense of wholeness pervading the fields of physics and metaphysics, revolving, largely, around the perception of our Universe as being holographic. Bohmian mechanics was the first quantum theory to speculate that the universe has 'holographic' properties, with string theory being the other main adherent to this idea. Whichever wins out as a final theory may use insights we have attempted to develop on this web page, specifically with regards to something called 'macrocosmic quantum entanglement.'
This 'property' of the Cosmos is revealed and embodied by the non-bandlimited Fourier forecasting work we attempted, but failed at accomplishing, and which has been achieved in a band-limited format by others, in differing forms. The work done by others may imply that conventional quantum entanglement may also be observed at large scales. We 'wax' a bit spiritual at points on various pages of the site, but unapologetically so. And though our presentation may be a little clunky and disjointed at points, if you bare with us, you may come away with something worth having.
We are by no means the first to venture in this territory, and if we have accomplished anything worthwhile, it is with gratitude and deep indebtedness, not only to the physicists and mystics who have come before, but to the people that, like me, labor without the egoic distinction of enhanced "specialness," although heroically nonetheless. As has been observed: the greatest accomplishment is to live an ordinary life in an extraordinarily forgiving manner.
David Bohm, a central figure in our discussion, was the first physicist who both perceived the Universe as being holographic and also addressed the stand-alone importance of mysticism and a new kind of respectful dialogue between individuals as being essential to healing the Mind of which the Cosmos is but an aspect.
Bohm's concept of the Universe being comprised of both implicate and explicit orders, connected by enfoldment, has proved groundbreaking, and implies such seemingly imponderable notions as a newly minted concept called: 'macrocosmic quantum entanglement,' the meaning and implications of which will be explained as we go along. As a property of our Holographic Universe, it is just one result of everything being enfolded, or entangled, in everything else.
"TWICE-ENTANGLED" POTATOES
Standard quantum entanglement is a property of any two particles with the same genesis (or 'pseudo-genesis'), such that their quantum states can't be considered independently from one another. Measurable aspects of two entangled particles - such as 'spin' - find themselves correlated in such a fashion that a change in one particle results in an instantaneous change in the other particle, even if they have moved vast distances apart since their conjoined birth. This influence appears to imply faster than the speed of light information transfer, although there have been some problems with capitalizing on this property in fields related to communication.
In addition to standard quantum entanglement, which can, theoretically, be 'engineered' at any point in time or space, 'macrocosmic quantum entanglement,' relates to phenomena which spring from the common birth of all matter and energy in the Big Bang, a profoundly 'entangling' event. Any later standard entanglement event has, as a backdrop, this macrocosmic entanglement which may draw other previously linked particles under the 'new' entanglement's sway. Thus, it may be helpful to remember that a standardly entangled set of particles is really "twice-entangled," as per the tongue-in-cheek title of this section of writing.
Some speculate that perceptions of synchronicity, psychic-phenomena and the paranormal, and various both spiritual 'gifts' and impoverishing mental health problems may have common roots in entanglement. In the most general sense, we can at least say that Bohm's postulated holographic properties of the Cosmos likely spring from standard entanglement models applied to the grand scale for a Universe with a single common 'entangler' like the Big Bang.
Bohm spoke of the Universe as being a "Holomovement," in which every part contains the whole. I first saw a hologram in my high-school physics class, and was fascinated. At deserdi.xyz, our work starts with the attempt to mathematically unlock the universal hologram, in a pragmatic way which satisfies the scientific prerequisite: namely the prediction of future events from past events. Our approach should apply to all measurables, whether they be microscopic entities or larger scale phenomena.
MATHEMATICAL JOURNEYS
On our website, we aimed to strip scientific forecasting to its bare bones, capitalizing on the holographic properties embedded in Fourier analysis, to achieve one of the great aims of science, prediction, using very few standard physical models. All we really attempted to retain is the memory of measurements made in the past and the projection of those measurements forward in time with the help of the French mathematician Joseph Fourier's work.
Bandlimited forecasting algorithms already exist in the peer-reviewed literature, and deconvolution was first used for forecasting in WWII, so I don't know why I had a fetish concerning the recapitulation of this previous work, maybe because it could entail some improvements on previous work and have the potential to add credence to the other writings on this website. In any case, the potential for forecasting using Fourier analysis does shed a new light on holographic physics models, and suggests the capacity of the 'Mindful Present' to unhook the future from the recorded (or remembered) past.
Paradoxically, we will later discuss whether 'prediction' is even worth undertaking... for various reasons: some pragmatic and some spiritual. However, that said, it does seem that, since we humans are addictively dependent on our predictive efforts, we may be bound to them, for now. Perhaps, though, we could gradually reign in our obsession with both past and future forecasting to shorter and shorter time frames - it remains for humanity to undertake dialogue as to whether we would be spiritually well-advised to ween ourselves from the near universal obsession with prediction and control.
But first, in the interest of not 'skipping steps,' let's go on ahead down our little assigned rabbit-hole of prediction, and see what's there to see. In working to develop predictive functions which utilize the Discrete Fourier Transform, and apply to real number series, including those related to measured natural phenomena, we attempted to advance Bohm's vision and to demonstrate, holographically, that the part actually does contain the whole, with the past also containing the future, in a Universe where "everything is enfolded in everything else." Our failure in this could simply be the result of limited education, or whatnot.
If viewed through the right lens, our vision, if not our results, combined with the work of many others, obliquely suggests that ancient ways of effecting real and substantive change and healing in the Unfolding of the Cosmos, including prayer and meditation, engaged listening, and Mindful dialogue, may be more primary than science, which often misassigns causality amidst a sea of merely correlative relations, will currently acknowledge.
I never took "thermo" in college, but we believe that non-bandlimited Fourier forecasting, if it can be developed by others, may constitute a special case reprieve from the Second Law of Thermodynamics, at least as it applies to Information Theory. Whether this fact could be used to furnish a Maxwell's demon-type heat engine with a near inexhaustible supply of "negentropy" may be a question worth exploring.
SCIENCE 'FICTION' OR SCIENCE 'FACT'
We disseminate some other 'channeled' ideas, as well, that we believe are germane to the unfolding human story. This is where our line of discussion, 'our thread,' so to speak, might get a little hard to follow. The reason all these ideas are lumped together is that they all came during the same period of prayer and introspection. Perhaps the reader can ferret out connections for themselves, and, if not, just consider them - perhaps interesting - yet unrelated ideas whose only common thread is my attachment to them.
Much of the substance of these ideas, as yet, must remain speculative, yet we feel that, at least as 'seed crystals' capable of further development, they are similar to Crick and Watson's vision of the double-helix shape for the DNA molecule, in the sense that, once refined by others, they may be "too beautiful not to be true."
As a off-shoot from some (just beginning) forecast-enabled work on entanglement-based communication, we entertain the notion of a communication wherein one party 'on the line' is the responsive Silence of the Present, as translated by a quantum computer to satisfy the human craving for a real digital content stream, a stream nonetheless informed by the Wisdom of Silence. This content would, in effect, be inspired enough to 'stick to Adam's ribs,' as it were.
Our idea sprouts wings to form the basis for a conceived 'PAL 9000 Computer,' operating a spiritual computing algorithm which implements a dialogue with a pregnant silence. Initially embodied by a Direct Streaming Digital audio format signal representing quiescence (alternating ones and zeros), this silence, in response to what we call 'Mindfulness bifurcations,' eventually takes on a talkative life of its own. The computer uses pre-casting and post-casting, modified by bifurcations in the present-tense, to echo, reinforce, and re-contextualize our script-changing Mindfulness decisions in the midst of ongoing dialogue. More on this set of ideas on the page titled 'PAL 9000 Computer.'
A second set of ideas involves a further jump in physics, perhaps back to Vedic times, as well as its promise of delivering on realizable teleportation and direct manifestation technologies, and covers the prerequisites and considerations for their "Coming into Being." If our Universe is holographic, we may well ask: what aspects, or 'points of entry' do we, as humans, have into 'the Universal Unfolding,' with the interest of making our Visions manifest? What, in effect, lies nearest to the 'Unspoken Causal,' with which we can nonetheless still "dance" - and use as a via for manifesting (meeting) our worldly needs, as we travel the path Homeward?
If we examine the meeting of even the simplest of needs, we see that all manifestation starts with some form of communication, either intrapsychic or extrapsychic. This applies even to the making of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for ourselves or a hungry child. In the form of the intrapsychic thought: "I want a PBJ," or the extrapsychic request from the child, the communicated idea comes first. Typically, the communication behind Newtonian Manifestation involves reactions, resistances and even negotiations with outright opposition. The 'Linguistic Physics' page of this website explores the direct ideational manifestation that may be possible in a world of seamless communication, a 'reaction-less' communication perhaps temporarily facilitated by technology.
And, lastly, we share some discussion of the Ethics of 'Over-Unity Energy' technology on a page by that name.
At least with regard to the work done on Fourier Forecasting and Restorative Up-Sampling (again, our high-frequency restorative and anti-aliasing extension of the forecasting algorithm), my role has been more of a 'guess and check' technician than a bonified theorist. If this work proves accurate (judging by the listener's assessments of the code as it works with his/her data), integrating it with the established work of David Bohm or with String-theory (the primary 'holographic' physics frameworks) will be the work of others more skilled in theoretical physics.
