Holographic living has been a recent repeating concept in my meditations. I’ve been exploring what it means to live holographically. What I’ve gathered is just a fraction of the information yet to come. Nevertheless, here is where I start.
Remember those 3-D Magic Eye books you spent hours looking at when you were younger? Remember that sometimes it revealed itself in seconds, and other times you couldn’t see it no matter how long you looked. This concept sparked a pivotal question for me—am I functioning with holographic information? And more importantly, am I being holographic? Let me back up one second and say that even though I was the one asking the questions, I didn’t necessarily understand the questions I was asking. Often I don’t until I get the answer; and sometimes not even then. But that has no bearing on my ability to integrate the information and evolve.
My first meditation on holography (did I make that term up? Maybe.) was quite revealing to me. I set my intention to work on healing some root chakra pictures. I used my version of AP to access information at Mary’s Garden—a wonderfully nurturing place if you’ve never been there. Once there, Mary led me by the hand to sit next to a waterfall. There she gave me a handful of dirt and told me to hold some earth while my root opened to heal. I could feel layers of pictures fading away as patterns around my relationships illuminated, then disappeared. Next, she handed me a crystal ball. This crystal ball was actually one I’d been playing with the week prior. It was not clear, but full of crystalline architecture that appeared in different formations depending on how it was positioned to reflect the light. I held this ball, and Mary said, “Do you see how the insides, although full of depth and myriad formations, only reveal that which is reflective? At each turn you see a different snapshot of what’s inside, but never do you get to experience the full depth. This is how you live; this is how most people live—reflecting only snapshots of themselves in the different situations that make up their lives.” I understood this very well. I’ve spent a lifetime compartmentalizing and rationing pieces of myself that fit this situation or that. Mary then went on to say, “In order to live holographically you must learn how to dance between the spaces of action and reaction. Then you will bring all of your depth to the moment.”
Here’s the dichotomy I’ve often faced in enigmatic situations like these; do I try to congnitively make sense of her words and label them, or do I just let them go and potentially miss the learning? I’ve realized lately that to run them through my cognitive realm is to dampen the learning, and sometimes actually prevent it. In this case, I set my intention to “integrate” and bypass the label piece. I came out of the meditation sure I had learned something magical about how to embrace my human holography, but unsure of what that would look like. It was the next day that I received my validation.
I was driving with my daughter who was quite upset and crying. I felt myself reflecting her cries back at her. I understand the concept of yielding, but I was unable to put it into practice in the moment. Then I heard Mary’s voice remind me to dance in the spaces of action and reaction. In that moment I became all of my depth so that her cries were no longer interacting with “Mommy”, but also with the many other facets of me. Her cries had the opportunity to experience my wholeness, and she instantly stopped. There was no conscious map I followed, no prescribed technique. I just went with the knowledge that my meditation prepared me with abilities I didn’t have before. I am eager to bring my holography into more of my life, and curious to see how it impacts my world. This journey has just begun for me, but is tapping information I’ve gathered and stored for eternity. God, I love those dichotomies!
