In addition to research in quantum physics and contemplative studies, I draw upon the Gateway meditation program by the Monroe Institute, which utilizes quantum holographic science in its binaural hemispheric synchronization (“Hemi-Sync”) technology, as well as self-inquiry and visualization exercises. This paper seeks to contribute to understanding our place as historical agents in the cosmos by (1) exploring the holonomic principle of mind as a means for people to transform contemplative practices of mind into existential realities; (2) giving readers examples of contemplative practices that can result in personal transformation and a sense of the sacred; and (3) suggesting that philosophical notion of a transcendental ideal exists inescapably within human consciousness and the phenomenal world of everyday experience.</p> ER -
