We could live in a two-dimensional holographic universe.
While that may sound like the stuff of science fiction, the theory is cherished by the US government.
The study entitled ‘Analysis and Assessment of The Gateway Process’ was written in 1983 by Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell of the US Army.
The intelligence report explains how consciousness is created by the brain processing energy in the physical world and transforming it into a hologram.
Holograms are a common feature in the Star Wars franchise, used by characters to see and hear each other in real time, even when they are light years apart.
A hologram, as defined by physics, is created when interference between wave-light particles – such as photons of light – generates the illusion of a 3D structure.
“Energy creates, stores and retrieves meaning in the universe by projecting or expanding at certain frequencies in a three-dimensional mode that creates a living pattern called a hologram,” Lt. Col. McDonnell wrote.
Scientists outside the classified domain have also come up with versions of these “holographic universe” theories — including a series of “Holometer” experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Lab.
But while many physicists still hope to validate or disprove this idea, that the universe seen as 3D is actually just 2D, US military officers had bigger ambitions.

They hoped to train their own troops to elevate their vibratory brainwaves “which the mind projects” to “intercept meaning directly from the holographic transmissions of the universe.”
Lt. Col. McDonnell’s 29 page report for the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) has attracted increasing attention online – in part as new military witnesses have alleged modern uses for its psychic espionage proposals.
This summer, former Pentagon UFO researcher Luis Elizondo revealed in his memoir that he telepathically collaborated with colleagues in so-called “group remote visioning” to thwart terrorists thousands of miles away.
And in his testimony alongside Elizondo before the House Oversight Committee, journalist Michael Shellenberger written comments submitted detailing further overlap in the workforce within the secret US UFO hunt and these crazy programs.
“The CIA didn’t care why it worked,” as Elizondo wrote about remote viewing in his now best-selling book Imminent, “all that mattered was that it worked.”
But Chicago comedian Sara Holcombwho has delved into Lt. Col. McDonnell’s study in a series of Tik Tok shorts, has continued to try to understand “why” the program worked, if it worked at all.
“So we’ve just been programmed with the five senses to understand this reality?” Holocom question. “But can we have more senses in this reality?”

Everything in our universe could actually be encoded in tiny packets in two dimensions instead of three, some physicists say, and Fermilab’s ‘Holometer’ laser experiment – started more than a decade ago – hoped to find answers to that question: ‘ Do we live in a holographic universe?’
Decades prior to Fermilab’s holographic universe tests, U.S. Army intelligence officers – such as Lieutenant Frederick Holmes “Skip” Atwater – took the theory of the “holographic universe” as a given, attempting to “decipher meaning directly from the holographic transmissions of to intercept the universe’.
Lt. Col. McDonnell’s stunning Pentagon study was first conducted to better understand what his Army Intelligence colleagues were doing, sending officers to a small institute in Charlottesville, Virginia that was working on the Gateway Experience.
The then-secret Gateway Project was “a training system designed to bring greater power, focus and coherence…to change consciousness.”
From there, Gateway’s goal was to move the practitioner’s consciousness “beyond the physical realm to ultimately escape even the limitations of time and space” – through a meditative practice designed to allow the brain to access the holographic reality.
According to Lt. Col. McDonnell, the Monroe Institute’s discoveries, which ultimately strengthened the case for reincarnation, were profound.
“There is a sound and rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway plausible in terms of its essential objectives,” he reported.
Lt. Col. McDonnell based his conclusions on the more public, non-secret research of Stanford neuroscientist Karl Pribram and former Princeton physicist David Bohm.
“His (Pribram’s) ‘holographic model’ combines brain research with theoretical physics,” the INSCOM official wrote, quoting another scholar.
Parts of the ‘remote viewing’ psychic spy program were dramatized in the black comedy ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’, starring George Clooney (still above). But some former intelligence officers from the old INSCOM program say the film made fun of the serious operations
“It takes into account normal perception and at the same time extracts the paranormal and transcendental experiences from the supernatural,” his report continued, “by explaining them as part of nature.”
In the early 1980s, INSCOM was led by Major General Albert Stubblebine III, one of the U.S. military’s leading proponents of psychic warfare.
And at least two of his subordinates: ‘Remote Viewer No1.’ Joe McMoneagle and Lt. Frederick Holmes “Skip” Atwater, remote operations officers, have since taken on roles as private citizens at The Monroe Institute.
Today, McMoneagle is a member of the Advisory Board and as a ‘Gateway’ trainer for the Monroe Institutewhile Skip Atwater became the Institute’s president.
“Through the studies we have done on remote viewing, we have discovered that there is a certain amount of noise coming from the core of the Milky Way and that noise has an effect on our ability to be psychic or see remotely,” says McMoneagle. said inside an interview from 2021.
“This implies a very interesting proposal,” he continued. ‘It implies that all living things have to deal with the same source of information.’
