Future events often cast a cloud’s shadow in our present thoughts and in our daydreams of old memo-ries. You might have a hunch that an old friend is going to call and thoughts wander into memories of old times together. And then the phone rings and it’s that friend. I find the best way to prepare for future moments, or to stabilize any unwanted past moment, is to be fully in my present moment, now. To be in the now is a state of mind that doesn’t stagnate in the past or the future. Living in the moment is living in the spirit—with buoyancy and sparkle—the spirit being the essence of life.
Practically speaking, let’s say you’re eating a ham-burger on Tuesday while thinking of a steak dinner you’re going to have next Friday. It’s likely you are not enjoying the hamburger to its full potential. Being in the moment involves giving maximum appreciation and love to your present experience. This widens the doorway to the potential of the Now. As Doc Childre states in his book Self Empowerment,
“The Now Age is the age of individual (do-it-your-self) enlightenment—Now! Until this is implemented, stress will casually rule....I’ve expe-rienced both new age and old age structures but

decided it was more efficient to live in the ‘now.’ By the ‘now,’ I mean: this moment.”*
So how do you practically apply holography to the real world of this moment? When you see old patterns of fear arise, that’s when you need to go to your heart intelligence for a wider perspective. Your next thoughts, feelings and actions will determine how the next hour and often the rest of your day unfolds. Your little choices really do count.
I vividly remember one such incident a few years ago. I saw a girlfriend of mine in an animated conversa-tion with my boyfriend. They both seemed to be enjoying themselves and an old pattern of insecurity arose inside me. My stomach clenched. “Maybe he likes her more than me,” I thought. Jealousy and fear started to color my per-ceptions. My head ran automatic thoughts of, “I’m not as pretty as she is,” “I don’t communicate as well as she does,” “he might spend less time with me,” “he might even leave me.” I stopped it right there. I knew from ex-perience exactly where that train of thought would lead.
Right into a wall! Right into me cutting off my heart to protect myself from rejection. When I’d done this before, my boyfriend, sensing my coldness, would withdraw from me. Inevitably, an argument and a miserable day would follow. By consciously choosing to FREEZE-FRAME, go back to the heart, and sincerely love them both, my perspective totally changed. I could see they were

cently enjoying conversation with each other. It was no big deal. I realized they both loved me. In stopping fear-ful thoughts, I leaped to another “holodome,” and actually changed my future. The rest of my day was wonderful!
Holograms are really like a hall of mirrors. It’s what-ever perspective you want to see, whatwhat-ever angle you look at in the mirror, that determines your reality. Stop-ping head thoughts to gain a wider perspective of the moment is the choice of creation. Only through the heart can one see the holographic movie objectively. When your heart directs you to leap into another holodome, do it and surrender to the new movie. Participate in it and experience it fully. That activates your next heart-directed program, and the next, and you move on in your highest blueprint in the universal flow.
Intraholographic leaps on the vertical or horizontal axis of the energy grid of life can be viewed as an inter-dimensional chess game between you and you. The vertical axis is moving inward into higher understand-ings of yourself and life. The horizontal axis is widening your love of people and experiencing them at deeper lev-els of understanding. At times your heart directs you to go within for more awareness. At other times it directs you to radiate your love outward and connect more with life. Evolution is about balancing these two axes to acti-vate the higher holographic frequencies and enter into the higher dimensions.
Holographic Awareness
The holographic movie of daily life can seem so solid and real—from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. After all, each day you live in the same house, in the same city, with the same sun shining through your window and the same trees outside your door. Your mind/brain/body gets used to this, so real-ity appears very solid and third dimensional. As I was going to sleep one night, I experienced all three dimen-sions—third, fourth and fifth—as distinct realities. Each was as real as the 3-D world we live in. I saw moving through dimensions as the vertical axis. Then I saw the head and heart choices we make in life as the horizontal axis. When you dream at night, have you ever consid-ered whether your consciousness is in another dimensional reality? Or, have you considered whether, right now, you are somewhere sleeping and this waking life is your dream? Could you have parallel realities, or parallel worlds, going on?
Different holographic filmstrips could be viewed as parallel worlds. Our personal filmstrips often have us acting out the same basic frequency but with different
“furniture.” It’s like living several movies with essentially the same plot, but with different actors, different sets and the potential for different outcomes. How many times do people tell themselves, “I’ve been through this so many times before.” Many people marry, divorce and marry again, only to find the same movie playing out again in the new marriage. In dreams at night, we often act out
the same frequency patterns we experienced in the day, but with different characters and scenes.
In his best-selling novel, One, Richard Bach used a combination of personal experience and fiction to de-scribe his understanding of what it’s like moving in and out of parallel realities. While much of what I am writ-ing here is rather abstract, I hope my words and experience can give you at least a feeling for the time-less, overlapping qualities and potential of the holographic heart.
God created the sun, the water, the stars, the natu-ral environment, people, the universe. They are all universal holographic creations, made real by our heart/
mind/brain perceptions. As we become holographically aware, we can enter into them, just as we can a holo-graphic 3-D picture today. Appreciation and love in the moment are the key. Appreciate and love the sun, the wa-ter, whatever you are gazing on. Appreciation magnetizes their holographic images and patterns to you, so you can dance and co-create with their essence. In this way the whole universal hologram expands, evolves and grows.
This oneness is the next step in human evolution. Co-creation is where evolution and Co-creation are understood as one.
Each of us is responsible for our spectrum of per-spectives in the holographic creation because we really do have choice. “Do the starving people in Africa have choice?” you may ask. They don’t have the immediate
Holographic Awareness
to stay in the heart or not. By staying in the heart, they might possibly magnetize more heart from those who have the food to give them. Being angry and resentful won’t bring food any faster and it only makes you more miserable. Have compassion and understanding for those enduring hardship. Every human has their own holo-graphic blueprint, with its own crystallizing possibilities.
But this doesn’t mean we ignore their suffering. In the heart we would sincerely want to help.
In the movie you are living today, are you choosing a heart perspective or a head perspective? Depending on your choice, you will write different sequences for your day and the consequences will be different—acti-vating different holographic filmstrips. The highest intelligence has “streetsense” in the choices it makes, streetsense being the common sense of the heart which integrates and aligns higher fourth dimensional percep-tions into the 3-D world here and now. Streetsense contains complexity broken down into simple under-standings. It’s a practical, balanced and efficient approach to a life situation that simply “makes sense.” Streetsense is the road to clear perception about what is.
