The Mayan calendar is all about this holographic rendering of time. The Vedantic view of time is cyclical. is the breathing in and the breathing out of Brahman. So many traditions have explored this. But now that we have modern technologies, look at the brain, the correlates.

You know, there's a part of your brain called the default mode network, which is literally the neural correlate of your ego mind. So when you, through meditation, deep meditation, or even through psychedelics, you decrease the activity of the ego mind or when you're dying, you know, there's now definitely literature on what is called terminal lucidity.

where even people with Alzheimer's, they have suddenly terminal lucidity. They see things that normal people don't see, or they see dead relatives, or they see, you know, other dimensions. That's all because the default mode network is obliterated or the activity is decreased. So you say, well, that suggests that the brain is the creator of the ego. No, it's not. It's the symbolic representation.

But the symbolic representation can actually evoke the experience. Like when I read a book, a good book, all it is is a bunch of squiggles and ink on a piece of paper, but it can have me in its grip. You know, I'm rooting for the hero, I want the villain to die, I fall in love with the girl, all because I'm reading symbols. So the symbol of reality can also reproduce the experience of reality.

See, right now, if you look at the most recent interpretations of quantum mechanics, quantum mechanics, the most... Prominent or favored interpretation was the Copenhagen interpretation, which was the pioneers, you know, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, the great guys, Niels Bohr, Einstein, to some extent, not really, because Einstein was a realist. He wasn't into consciousness. He was confused.

I would say Einstein was a naive realist. He thought that the picture of the world is the human look of it, you know. But that's beside the point. He was a genius anyway. So that theory is kind of out of fashion at the moment. Remember, even theories of consciousness are in consciousness. You can't get behind consciousness.

Right now, the most important theory in consciousness or in quantum mechanics is called the multiverse or the multi-world theory. which means if you allow the wave function, Schrödinger's wave function, to keep distributing into innumerable branches, each of them results in a different universe. And there are infinite universes and there are infinite versions of you in other dimensions.
