The Logos
W: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος.
O: in principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum.
B: 太 初 有 道 ， 道 與 神 同 在 ， 道 就 是 神 。
N: Im Anfang war das Wort, und das Wort war bei Gott, und Gott war das Wort.
Y: En el principio existía el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios.
A: Au commencement était la Parole, et la Parole était avec Dieu, et la Parole était Dieu.
R: בראשית היה הדבר והדבר היה את האלהים ואלהים היה הדבר׃
Our Non-Local friend Ǝ is the Logos. The Logos is the White Light of living information that exists everywhere anywhere innywhere and at all times.
The Prism Δ is the bio-physical network of plant and animal bodies.
The Logos penetrates all Δ's, but only certain bio-physical networks equipped with a Neo-Cortex can project colors of the RAYNBOW, the unified spectrum of Local expressions and extensions of Logos into Media.

Although each line of the text above is visually and structurally unique, every line of text expresses the same thought (translated into the English language each line states "In the beginning was the word"). Each language is a LOCAL projection and transfiguration of the Non-Local Logos, separate jigsaw puzzle fragments of a Hologrammatic Fractal Whole. Though these puzzle pieces can be fitted into an infinitude of combinations, none will ever be able to manifest the totality of the Logos that created them, meaning, no matter how long we try, all the King's Horses and all the King's Men cannot put HD back together again. Human history seems to be the clash and bash of a common language lost in translation.
The White Light = Logos = Ǝ = Non-Local = The Tao = NO MIND = NO DIVINE.
The Prism = The Prison = The Room = The Womb = Δ = The Brain
Doorway = 42 degrees = Angle = Angel = Neo-Cortex
The RAYNBOW = Egos = E's = Local = Language = Color = ART = Science = Religion = Male = Female = Child = Adult = Life = Death = As Above = So Below = ? = !
"I have the distinct feeling that Carl Jung was correct about our unconsciousness, that they form a single entity, or as he called it, "collective unconscious." In that case, this collective brain entity, consisting of literally billions of "stations," which transmit and receive, would form a vast network of communication and information, much like Teilhard's concept of the noosphere."
Ok PKD, I agree with you. But how do you illustrate this "noosphere" in a common language? How do you persuade the Greek and the American and the Chinese and the Brazilian that they are in fact all striving to communicate the one thought?
After dinner he spent some time with the holoscope, studying Elias's most prized possession: the Bible expressed as layers at different depths within the hologram, each layer according to age. The total structure of Scripture formed, then, a three-dimensional cosmos that could be viewed from any angle and its contents read. According to the tilt of the axis of observation, differing messages could be extracted. Thus Scripture yielded up an infinitude of knowledge that ceaselessly changed. It became a wondrous work of art, beautiful to the eye, and incredible in its pulsations of color. Throughout it red and gold pulsed, with strands of blue.
If our individual organic bio-physical Δ's can refract part of the spectrum, and the totality of our collective Δ's separately refract the WHOLE of the spectrum, could it be possible to construct a Δ that could refract the totality of this spectrum simultaneously?
It was an open hologram. New information could be fed into it. Emmanuel wondered about that but he said nothing. He sensed a secret. Elias could not answer him, so he did not ask.
What he could do, however, was type out on the keyboard linked to the hologram a few crucial words of Scripture, whereupon the hologram would align itself from the vantage point of citation, along all its spacial axes. Thus the entire text of the Bible would be focused in a relationship to the typed out information.
"What if I fed something new into it?" he had asked Elias one day.
Elias said severely, "Never do that."
"But it's technically possible."
"It is not done."
About that the boy wondered.
He knew, of course, why the Christian-Islamic Church did not allow the transmuting of the Bible into a color-coded hologram. If you learned how you could gradually tilt the temporal axis, the axis of true depth, until successive layers were superimposed and a vertical message - a new message - could be read out. In this way you entered into a dialogue with Scripture; it became alive. It became a sentient organism that was never twice the same. The Christian-Islamic Church, of course, wanted the Bible and the Koran frozen forever. If Scripture escaped out from under the church its monopoly departed.
Superimposition was the critical factor. And this sophisticated superimposition could only be achieved in a hologram. And yet he knew that once, long ago, Scripture had been deciphered this way. Elias, when asked, was reticent about the matter. The boy let the topic drop.
