I found some pretty cool and entertaining stuff on the internet concerning the holographic universe and shamanism.
The first is an entheogenic cyber religion based on the hollywood film The Matrix: http://www.geocities.com/matrixism2069
The second is a scholarly article written on the subject of evolutionary neurotheology: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/papers/EvolutionaryNeurotheology-long.htm
Matrixism leans heavily on the writings of Aldous Huxley thus its connection to neurotheology. While I am a huge fan of Huxley I think that he missed the mark when writing his last novel "Island". He's not to blame for this though because the concept of inclusive fitness and thus the whole field of evolutionary biology had not been created at that time. Had the mathematical principle of inclusive fitness been discovered during Huxley's lifetime I am sure that his utopian model would have been not only different but more explicitly defined.
