OTHER PEOPLE
Question: If we don’t share one big common hologram, how can you and I go out at night and see the same stars, or watch the same movie, or see the same people? How could someone else agree with me so much on what we call “reality” unless we were actually seeing the same thing?
Answer: Before we talk about whether you and “someone else” are seeing the same reality, I have to find out who you think this “someone else” is who’s agreeing with you. Do you think they really exist?
Question: Oh, well…. Okay. So what about the other people who appear in my hologram? Aren’t they “real,” or is my Infinite I creating them too?
Answer: The first thing you have to remember is that nothing in your hologram is “real” – not the people, not this book you are reading, and not the eyes you are reading the book with. It’s all a hologram; and by definition, a hologram isn’t real – at least not in the way we have always thought about things as “real.”
So let’s change the question a little, because I know what you’re trying to ask….
“Do the other people I see in my hologram exist as separate individuals? Are they Players in their own right, as I am, with their own Infinite I’s? Or are they just created by my Infinite I for my personal hologram and have no life of their own?” Right?
Even among the growing number of people who understand how life works in a holographic universe, there is no general agreement on the answer to this question – which is a good example of why some of these questions aren’t important and don’t really play a role in the daily workability of these concepts.
Some of these people have decided their Infinite I creates everything and everyone they see in their holograms, and that no one else exists independently from them. That may well be true, and one day maybe we’ll find out; or maybe we won’t.
On one hand, it is very important to realize and remember that everything we experience – and everyone in those experiences – is created by our own Infinite I; and it can be so easy to forget that and assign independent power to whom and what we see “out there” to make them real. Therefore it is very helpful to emphasize that nothing and no one can appear in your holographic universe that your Infinite I has not created or agreed to. So it might be useful to adopt the belief that you are creating the “other people” you encounter in your life, and that they don’t exist outside of your hologram.
But for me, this smacks too much of “solipsism,” which has an overtone I don’t resonate with….
“If only I matter, then other people, animals, environments only matter insofar as they impact myself. This may be an antisocial philosophy.”1
So here is what makes the most sense to me and feels the most comfortable….
If the holographic universe is like a total immersion movie, someone had to write the script for everything that happens in that holographic movie. That “someone” is your Infinite I.
But that script would be very limited and lonely if you were the only actor in it; and there are god-knows-how-many other Infinite I’s in Greater Metropolitan InfiniteLand who have Players representing them as well.
So let’s say my Infinite I wants me to experience a car accident, for whatever reason (which is exactly what my own Infinite I did!). My Infinite I could create a hologram where I have that car accident by myself, with no one else involved in the accident (which is what happened to me); and that’s fine.
But let’s say for some reason my Infinite I would prefer me to experience a car accident that involved other people, rather than just me. My Infinite I could send an Infimail around InfiniteLand asking if there is anyone who wants to have their Player be part of this car accident as well.
Most car accidents today involve more than one person, so apparently there is a lot of interest in InfiniteLand for this kind of holographic experience. Therefore my Infinite I gets some positive Infimail responses from other Infinite I’s, and together these Infinite I’s work out the details and write a joint script for this accident “movie.” But there is one catch….
No Player can say or do anything in any other Player’s hologram that their own Infinite I has not approved. In other words, whatever one Player says or does to another Player has been requested and approved by its Infinite I.
This means no one can be a victim of anything that is said or done in any hologram they experience, because their own Infinite I has either written the script itself or had 100% script approval prior to the hologram being downloaded to its Player. No victims, no perpetrators, period.
So, now these Players get in their car accident. Each Player can, and probably will, experience that accident slightly differently than any other player, since each Player has their own individual hologram as their reality. In fact, two Players will often disagree – honestly and sincerely – about what actually happened in that accident. We already know virtually everyone who witnesses a car accident will have a different story of what happened.
But the “other person” I get into a car accident with, more than likely, will be another Player representing another Infinite I, as I see it. So while my Infinite I “created” them in my hologram, they actually do “exist” as a separate Player with their own self-consciousness and their own Infinite I.
This seems to me to be true for all the “other people” who have an impact on our lives. I would say almost anyone who has a “speaking part” in your holographic total immersion movie is another Player, whose Infinite I has agreed for them to read the script your own Infinite I wrote for the experience it wanted you to have.
According to Robert Scheinfeld, “other people” serve three main purposes in your holographic experience:
1. To reflect something you think or feel about yourself
2. To give you the gift of information or insight
3. To set something in motion to support you2

On the other hand, there are a lot of “extras” in your holographic total immersion movie who have little or no impact on your life. They are there to make your total immersion movie seem more “real.” It would be very strange to walk down Fifth Avenue in New York City and see no one else, just like it would be very strange to watch a movie about New York City with no people in it. (You can watch Tom Cruise freak out in exactly that situation in the movie, Vanilla Sky.) “Extras” play an important role in our holograms; but, as in Hollywood, those “extras” can be computer generated – a product of special effects – and do not necessarily need a life of their own.
There was a recent mini-series on HBO called John Adams. (Brilliant!) They also aired a short segment on how the mini-series was made, which you can watch on YouTube.
Not only is this a great example of how a background set is made to provide the scenery for a holographic movie experience, but there is a segment of this video starting around three minutes in that explains and shows how a crowd of 10,000 people was created using just 15 extras. If we’ve figured out how to do that in our physical universe, imagine what your Infinite I can do in your holographic universe! (Watch the video here.)
So the “other people” you see in your hologram are Players whose Infinite I’s have volunteered their Players to play a role for you and to read the script your Infinite I has written; or, they are “extras” created by your Infinite I to fill up your “reality.”
Question: But if they’re not just computer-generated “extras,” how does my Infinite I know how to create that significant “other person” in my hologram to look and act like they do?
Answer: By using the template available in The Field for this “other person,” tagged with their name on it.
In other words, there’s a template in The Field with the name “Stephen Davis,” which contains the wave frequencies used to create me in a hologram; and there’s a template in The Field with your name on it as well. All other Players that have been created by their Infinite I’s have templates also.
When the other Player’s Infinite I agrees to play a role in your hologram, it gives permission to your Infinite I to access the template in The Field that describes the other person – their name, height, weight, eye color, attitudes, etc. – and then your Infinite I plugs that template into the holographic experience it is creating for you. But that “other person” must read the script word-for-word your Infinite I wrote for you.
Looked at from the other direction, your Infinite I has agreed and volunteered you to play a role in other Players’ experiences as well, and they access the template with your name on it and plug you into the hologram they create for their own Player. But then you are always reading the script their Infinite I wrote for them.
