QUANTUM-HOLOGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK FOR PSYCHOSOMATICS AND SPIRITUALITY

The subject of this paper is quantum-holographic framework for holistic psychosomatics (including integrative medicine and transpersonal psychology). Such a framework could have significant implications for understanding the mechanisms of quantum-holographic feedback control in the morphogenesis and bio-resonant application of the healing boundary conditions in psychosomatics, based on acupuncture and consciousness. It sheds new light on the long standing open problems of the holistic role and limitations (of local balancing) of the acupuncture system and (psychotherapeutic and spiritual integration of the local contents of an individual as well as complete unbonding of all transpersonal contents of the collective) consciousness. It also indicates the quantum-holographic nature of the deep psychotherapeutic layers of the mask of the individual, constructed by its energy-information blockages (bondings) at different levels of consciousness. Essentially, all psychosomatic problems could have their initial roots in the energy-informational attractor blockages at different levels of consciousness (caused by trans-generational-predestined stressors such as fear, frustration, anger, hatred…) and healing would include their integration with the healthy core of personality, through the unconditional acceptance of spiritually forgiving oneself and one’s environment. Or in the deep psychotherapeutic terminology, healing would start by integration of the breakaway aspects of the Shadow (subconscious) with the Person (ego) and then completed by integration with a higher Self at the end of the process of individuation (Psychosynthesis) i.e. by removing all mask layers of the individual, intricately constructed by the quantum-holographic energy-informational blockages (bondings) at different levels of consciousness. All this is aligned with the revived scientific interest in the study of consciousness in recent decades (indicating the occurrence of grand synthesis of the two modes of knowledge, rational-scientific and creative-religious, in the framework of a quantum-holographic paradigm) – with the essential role of each individual because of the influence and concern for unloading of the collective mental environment.

CREATION IN THE ZONE BETWEEN A SIGN AND THE SIGNED

From a psychological point of view, the relation between a mask and the masked can have developmental and creative potentials. To wear a mask does not necessarily mean that one has given up one’s authenticity. A mask could become an entrance to the open space between a sign and the signed, a dynamic space in which to build one’s identity – to be who you are not or to become who you are. It is a space for play, art, improvisation and learning. The ideas of Jung, Laing, Bohm, Washburn, Vygotsky and others are discussed regarding their understanding of the sign-signed relation. Alienation is seen as an ontological gap between a sign and the signed, a mask and the face behind it. A change in scientific paradigm initiated by quantum physics is discussed from the position of transpersonal psychology, where a sign and the signed (a mask and the masked) could be seen as events in multidimensional orders.

THE MASK ARCHETYPE

Masking as a phenomenon is not only anthropological since identical mimicries in nature point to a universal life principle which also confirms itself in the social, cultural and spiritual reality of humans. In addition to its own meaning, a mask gains another meaning in this reality, as an archetypal expression of human desire to achieve greater eminence in the known world but also to push the existing limits. Masking has become a manner for exploring the possibility of being someone else or someone different in the process of asserting one’s identity, where both a man and his shadow can be expressed. Reality of the virtual world proves that hiding behind a number or a password provides the necessary safety from aggression but also enables the masked aggressor to express their dark side, causing damage or harm to others.
