Disclaimer: This is not a scientific claim. It is a personal world view, which is based on my subjective understanding of certain scientific claims together with several other schools of thought. It's appealing to me because it attempts to unify them into a single "system" that does not exclude anything, just because it doesn't fit into a particular field of study. I am not qualified to take my theory beyond speculation, and would welcome if somebody who is would.
What is reality made of?
I have often pondered the fabric of reality and how it works. I would imagine myself inside a video game, going from level to level, figuring out the game as I go along. I drew clues wherever they were to be found: in philosophy, psychology, spirituality, religion, science, personal experience ... trying to unify several fields of human understanding of reality with my own, to arrive at Truth.
One day, a post from this blog, which is related to that exploration, creates a stir on a science, philosophy and spirituality forum on Facebook. The probing only led to further conviction, as more research led me to stumble upon certain aspects of quantum physics I did not yet know about, and which fit so nicely into my already solid world view. Then I put this together.

10 dimensions in String Theory
1) This video attempts to explain the quantum physics theory that I feel most closely resembles my view of reality.
The single point in 10th dimension is the Absolute - it holds all the information possible for infinite timelines of infinite universes
The Holographic Principle
2) Then, I refer to the Holographic Principle, conceived by Nobel Laureate, Theoretical Physicist Gerard ’t Hooft. In A thin sheet of reality - The universe as a hologram, he and a group of physicists discuss this principle: that information may exist like a 2D shadow on the periphery of a bubble of possibility, which manifests as a holographic reality in 3D.
It should follow that all the information for infinite timelines of infinite possibility is wrapped around the surface area of the 10th dimension.

Light and Sound
And what about the hologram we experience as 3D? ’t Hooft mentions the relationship of manifest reality with the speed of *light*, light being the elementary form in this universe, before energy and mass come into play.
The ancient Vedic philosophies describe reality as follows:
Pure consciousness (Purusha) combined with pure energy-potential (Prakriti), form the fundamental basis of the material universe, according to Samkhya philosophy.
The ancient Vedic philosophies describe reality as follows:
- the unmanifest is consciousness, which is described as points of light, much like photons, maybe even smaller, and,
- the manifest is described as sound (hence I will use of terms like vibration and resonance) as energy and then matter come into play.
Pure consciousness (Purusha) combined with pure energy-potential (Prakriti), form the fundamental basis of the material universe, according to Samkhya philosophy.
The Samkhya philosophy of creation, which was illustrated by Sage Kapila about 6BC, seems to be more and more supported by recent quantum discoveries
Consciousness at the beginning
At the point of manifestation, t' Hooft suspects a sub-quantum determinant of only one possible outcome. Let us begin here. Let us make the, um, inconceivable assumption that at the very beginning there is consciousness.
Actually, since we are conscious, we can deduce that there is consciousness in some other dimensions, too. With the assumption that at the very beginning there is consciousness, there is consciousness in all dimensions. Then the single dot of everything in the 10th dimension - the one that represents all possible timelines of all possible universes - is the Absolute. What I could call superconsciousness or absolute consciousness, is what some people call god/goddess, others still the Creator, and others still the Matrix or the 2D layer of information surrounding our holographic universe and many parallel universes.
Then if consciousness pervades everything, subatomic photons are also conscious. That would make room to explain subtle and otherwise unexplainable connection and *entanglement* of all things. This gives way to intuition, synchronicity, energy healing, the power of prayer, magic, and a bunch of other things that science prefers to ignore, but which, to many, exist as a concrete part of their physical experience.
Naming means something exists in the 10th dimension. Some conscious entities in the 3rd dimension connect with that *information* and experience it as their subjective reality within time and space.
Throughout the discussion, each of the physicists raises issues (watch the video), such as that they have still not determined causality, nor found the connection of the holographic principle with gravity. With consciousness, causality is resolved, and so is gravity.

Matter springs from consciousness when it resonates with a particular set of information in the 10th dimension and draws it into the 3rd dimension.
The universe exists because of awareness
3) An article by the Australian National University, experiment results show clearly that it is in the act of "looking" that an outcome is determined.
With consciousness encompassing and pervading everything (referred to as Brahman and Paramatma in the Vedas) we do not assume that we are the only "lookers."

How the mechanism works in Time
The "hidden" causality is sparked by the individual pockets of consciousness, from micro to macro, interacting with the superconsciousness, moment by moment. Like the mega computer ’t Hooft describes: taking information in, processing it, and sending it out. "An equal and opposite reaction" may work also for subtle and imperceptible *energy-potential* rather than just energy as we know it.
And the moment you look, it is there, with Time being the bridge-dimension for manifestation and dissolution. So like the story of Shiva Nataraj in Vedic tradition, who with a cosmic dance of destruction and creation, is responsible for the universe as we know it. I interpret this to symbolise the processing of information in Time - a redefined *event horizon*. It is the point at which light becomes sound, which vibrational frequency gives way to different forms of matter, which is why light behaves both as a wave and a particle.
As ’t Hooft suggests, the sub-quantum (or super-quantum) realm ultimately can offer only a single possible outcome. An outcome is determined at a single point within the infinite universes of possibility because the 10-dimensional fabric is a matrix-like web that can connect two points of 3-dimensional and 10-dimensional reality instantly, like the ant in 2-dimensions in the first video. We experience it in 3-dimensions.
Which two points sync is determined by vibration and "resonance" of a particular conscious pocket that corresponds with particular information (or energy-potential) contained on the periphery in the 10th dimension.
For resonance to happen, the realities that will sync must therefore be very similar. But from that point, manifest reality can move in only certain directions, since the past cannot be undone.
Hence the path is determined within the web or matrix of 10 dimensions, which we experience in 3 dimensions, and we influence it ... but it is not dependent on us absolutely. Thinking, willing and feeling carry a stronger vibration than unconscious action or non-action.

What about Gravity?
At the point of *resonance*, that information is pulled from the 10th to the 3rd dimension, which is denser, by the force of conscious gravity. The information as *light* moves through Time to become *sound* ... and the world of matter as we know it.
The density and gravity of Space-Time give rise to protons, neutrons and electrons, then the arrangement of atoms. Think of *sound* purely as manifest energy at higher or lower frequencies. Depending on the frequency, matter is formed accordingly. Matter may be regarded as made of subatomic "energy particles" (quarks and gluons), which are arranged as patterns of vibration in what Rupert Sheldrake calls a morphogenetic field, an organising field that ultimately defines a system's structure.
This one here is a dimension made of matter, however higher dimensions beyond Space-Time are made of a different stuff, which remains yet unnamed in physics.
What I am describing is a complex web of information and energy, constantly in a dance from the quantum to the relative level, where everything is conscious and co-existing together like a single organism, but which exists individually and influences the whole vibration, so information will resonate and respond to create the holographic reality, which is experienced as concrete in the 3rd dimension.

In the Vedas, it is described that the Causal Ocean is the substance (originally a cloud-like darkness the spiritual sky known as Vaikuntha) from which the material world is created. Material nature resides eternally within the Causal Ocean. To initiate the material creation, Maha Vishnu *glances* at Material Nature, thus agitating her to begin expanding the material elements.
A paradigm shift
What if we experimented with representing consciousness as a factor in quantum mechanics equations? Can that even be done and could it make sense? I don't know; I don't know the math. If it could work, I'd love it if somebody tried.
Within this concept, every world view, scientific or non-scientific, has room to exist as part of a 3-dimensional reality accessed from 10-dimensions of possibility; absolutely everything imaginable, since all infinite possibilities are accessible and being accessed by different pockets of consciousness (of different levels) throughout the universe, moment by moment, leaving a concrete reality behind in time.
So conscious reality can be considered from two points of view: absolute (10 dimensions), or subjective (3 dimensions). Meanwhile, concrete reality as we know it would be the result of conscious-effort, from the individual to the collective to the absolute level, and from subatomic particles to living entities to the planets and the stars (here would be the space for astrology to come in). Each conscious body makes a difference.
A picture can explain a thousand words, but I think we've been missing the picture for the paint. It's been happening in every school of thought and spiritual tradition. There is symbolic truth to be found even in Hindu mythology and Vedic philosophy that corresponds with emerging scientific theory and we must no longer hold the various fields of human understanding of reality as separate, if we are to understand reality completely, as it is. THIS is the new paradigm shift I propose.

**********
I was sitting under a Banyan Tree, in Arambol, Goa, when I suddenly saw. We seem to be separated, but we are one, just like the tree. I also imagined a fractal snapshot of reality, the 10th dimension made up of infinite timelines of infinite universes, with any of so many paths that could be defined as our destiny.
What physicists say
"In the beginning there were only probabilities. The universe could only come into existence if someone observed it ... The universe exists because we are aware of it."
Martin Rees
"Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it."
Pascual Jordan
"The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with quantum mechanics and with facts established by experiment."
Bernard d'Espagnat
"When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness came to the fore again. It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness."
Eugene Wigner
"Is it not good to know what follows from what, even if it is not necessary FAPP? [FAPP is Bell's disparaging abbreviation of "for all practical purposes."] Suppose for example that quantum mechanics were found to resist precise formulation. Suppose that when formulation beyond FAPP is attempted, we find an unmovable finger obstinately pointing outside the subject, to the mind of the observer, to the Hindu scriptures, to God, or even only Gravitation? Would that not be very, very interesting?"

Just another perspective
I am aware that this world view will continue to evolve just as the change of time is inevitable, as will the extent of my knowledge, and the evolution of my consciousness; then this is not the end of the road. With curiosity, I wait.
