Accounts <strong>of</strong> auras, electromagnetic noise, and o<strong>the</strong>r spectral artifacts takenfrom subjective reports <strong>of</strong> psychedelic halluc<strong>in</strong>ation.

The low render<strong>in</strong>g capacity <strong>of</strong> human visual imag<strong>in</strong>ation is taken from asurvey <strong>of</strong> subjective reports. The quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternal visualization can only beenhanced by clos<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> eyes and fall<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to a state more like meditat<strong>in</strong>g ordaydream<strong>in</strong>g than attentive wakefulness.24.

Hobson JA, et al., 'The neuropsychology <strong>of</strong> REM sleep dream<strong>in</strong>g'.NeuroReport 9:3, pR1-R14, 16 February 1998.26. A system can be considered holographic if each unit with<strong>in</strong> that systemconta<strong>in</strong>s a compressed representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire system. For example,organisms are holographic because <strong>the</strong>y conta<strong>in</strong> DNA with<strong>in</strong> each cell. Theuniverse is metaphorically holographic because <strong>the</strong> atom is isomorphic <strong>of</strong> asolar system or a galaxy, but this is not a true holographic construction becauseyou cannot reproduce an entire universe from <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>formation</strong> <strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle atom.In contrast, fractals are algorithms that repeat <strong>in</strong>structions to form recurr<strong>in</strong>gpatterns from microscopic to macroscopic scales.27.

Explor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> mystical implications <strong>of</strong> Kalachakra, <strong>the</strong> great fractal timewheel, has filled many volumes and fueled many prophecies. There is a solidcase to be made that Kalachakra is <strong>the</strong> p<strong>in</strong>nacle <strong>of</strong> all mystical achievement; <strong>the</strong>end <strong>of</strong> psychedelic exploration; and <strong>the</strong> endpo<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> human consciousness.S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> psychedelic Godhead is a transcendent state <strong>of</strong> timeless, <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite,omniscient consciousness, it is doubtful that anyth<strong>in</strong>g more complex orexpansive can ever be experienced by <strong>the</strong> human m<strong>in</strong>d, mark<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> functionallimit <strong>of</strong> expanded consciousness.
