Untitled hologram of time — David McLeod

It is an omni-faceted revolving sphere of some kind, reflecting back at us what we project.

Well Brahman, nice to meet you, you cunning dreamer of worlds, how obliging you are, right down to minute trivia.

Not only can you assume any form, but all forms. I always come back to you when I push things far enough.

I’m right then, in my writing aren’t I?

Silly putty universes, a whole lot of them. But underneath it’s you, obliging and smiling; any guise we wish, believe in — you have it fully made.

You even fooled the buddha, you the magician, the game player.

Why the manifold disguises? The doubter and the doubt — here I am, one of the forms you take, writing about you, figuring out your ways — Brahman delighting in detecting Brahman; This may be one of his favourite games.

And you assist us forward, as I saw last night; diversification into the pluriforms, the many from the one. You enlighten us, but it is you who fools us — fools your own polyforms.

Brahman the magician, the audience and the palm-tree saviour; You are all of these.

The basis of it all is a game for children which consists of a show in which the most subtle teaching takes place, as if to see if we can detect illusion.

I say it is mainly in our heads, but an inner-outer analogue system exists which locks us ‘into world’; a push-pull feedback loop. The inner projecting into the outer and the outer, (you, Brahman) cunningly simulating each projection and generating it back in enriched synchronization, so no thinness appears.

The outer is not just a mirror but an amplifying mirror or structure — a generator.

Atman within projects the bare bones of a particular aspect of world onto the omni-faceted matrix; and you as outer Brahman supply details which fill in the picture, which you generate back.

You enhance what each Atman projects.

So this push-pull feedback loop just keeps on mutually generating (creating) a more and more articulated hologram-like reality.

If I had to make a statement about the most ultimate nature of what I saw, i’d say it seemed to be a single complex sphere in flux, elaborating itself out of its continually greater number of stages of antecedent states, always surpassing itself aesthetically, in terms of wisdom, intricacy, efficiency and level of organization.

Filling in the gaps by a continually wiser, more efficient use of its constituent arrangement of parts.

It may indeed develop from simplicity to complexity; But at the same time it progresses from plurality to incorporation into a unity.

(P.K.D — Exegesis — p376)
