I am sure you’re familiar with Michael Talbot and David Bohm both revolutionary thinkers. I believe we are in a holographic universe and I also believe in implicate order. The implicate (also referred to as the “enfolded”) order is seen as a deeper and more fundamental order of reality. In contrast, the explicate or “unfolded” order includes the abstractions that humans normally perceive.

Some might also call our Universe a binary system or computer simulation or a virtual reality. To me that is just semantics.

The holographic universe theory beautifully closes the circle between relativity and quantum mechanics.

I am unsure where these others who are here fit into our human moral framework. I don’t know much about them but I sure like writing fiction that guesses what they might be like. There are many of them I think and they are quite different from each other. Some inter planetary and some inter dimensional (string theory). Some perhaps even inter universe.

I’ve just finished my five book series and my guess is they, like us, do not know where this all started for them and for us (the metaphysical big bang). I’m thinking about the Ouroboros as a perfect symbol however. The ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Anyway your article was fabulous because despite the fact that metaphysics is fascinating, we live in a physical world because we have biological bodies that require sustaining so we can learn what they have to teach us. This means we must figure out the moral and ethical implications of our physical reality. It’s our school room if you like. You are a great teacher and your article was clear and explicate. Thank you.
