I always enjoyed going into the holodeck. ~ Jonathan Frakes

I’ll be the first to admit that my eyes start glazing over when someone asserts that everything is an illusion, including these words that I am writing, the body in which I dwell, and of course Earth itself.

Nothing is truly real except (fill in the blank). People differ on what the only “real” reality is. What these belief systems seem to have in common is that whatever I imagine to be real, isn’t, according to some higher-level, more-intelligent, more-spiritual belief system.

One term I see tossed around a lot is hologram. This world is a hologram (of what?). A copy of something else, an image of something else, that presumably is real. The closest I come to comprehending the term hologram is familiarity with the holodeck on Star Trek The Next Generation.

How much of my mental energy do I want to devote to unraveling this riddle? While I sense that it might be important, and certainly is important to those who pontificate upon the topic, it just has no resonance for me...+
