Leap to Wholeness: How the World Is Programmed to Help Us Grow, Heal, and Adapt

An investigation into the physics of light and our journey toward healing, connection, and wholeness.

The reductionism and materialism of our modern world make it easy to imagine everything can be cleanly broken down into smaller and smaller parts. Yet the straightforward example of light in a hologram, which can't be reduced to its parts, points to an underlying interconnected reality—a wholeness. Physicist Sky Nelson-Isaacs uses numerous familiar examples—rainbows, music, photography—to illustrate a fundamental wholeness found in nature.

Just as light is filtered as it passes through a filmstrip, Nelson-Isaacs points out that our human experience is filtered through thoughts and feelings. This view provides an explanation as to why, in our daily lived reality, we can feel so broken and not-whole. Nelson-Isaacs weaves together cutting-edge ideas into the nature of space and time and original research, with a compelling message of urgency. The filters we use to make choices everyday hide important information from us, leading us away from experiences of flow. Through synchronicities, we are led to life lessons tailored to our readiness for change. Nelson-Isaacs reconsiders the view of time itself, suggesting that we live not just in this moment but on a timeline of history, part of a wave moving from our past into our future. Every choice we make shifts what is available to us. Can we learn to rethink our lives and reality to remove our filters and realize the wholeness that we have inherent in ourselves and in our world? Yes, says Nelson-Isaacs—and once we do that, we can use the multiverse of possibilities to make choices that help us heal and grow into a greater sense of ourselves.
