In my book The Afterlife and the True Nature of Reality I develop the thesis that our true reality is not a "physical" reality but, rather, it is an energy-information construct. Our experience of the so-called "physical" reality is, in truth, merely an illusion of physicality caused by our sensory apparatus (sensory organs and brain) translating the energy-information construct into a holographic experience which we perceive as real and solid. I make the claim that the purpose of our holographic reality is to serve as a school for souls where they can learn spiritual lessons via a system based in reincarnation and karma and, over many lifetimes, advance spiritually until they have mastered the material and can "graduate" to a spiritual level where reincarnation is no longer necessary. I use the analogy of a pilot-in-training learning to fly jet aircraft using a flight simulator, where the experience of flying feels real but is actually only an illusory computer simulation. I also note that the way our sensory apparatus process the energy-information construct into an experience of reality is very similar to the way computers function: INPUT - PROCESS - OUTPUT. I go into much detail in my book explaining how our holographic reality works and how we process it, and I provide a great deal of evidence in support of the theory. I can't rehash all that material here as it is quite involved, but I do want to mention that the theory that our reality is holographic is not...
