In the big bang model, the universe is a continuous expansion of curved four dimensional space-time,(7) with nothing existing outside of, or before it; it is all there is. Depth psychology(8) likens it to the archetypal uroborus, the mythological self-contained dragon, eating its own tail.(9) In the same way, according to depth psychology, nothing exists outside the mind. With no outside to focus on, psychologists and astronomers alike have been forced to turn their attention to the inside.
In the latter half of the twentieth century, astronomy has developed the big bang model for the birth, evolution and death of the universe. This modern cosmology rests solidly on the interplay between Einstein's theory of relativity and the observations from modern telescopes.(11) However, like all earlier cosmologies, this modern theory has archetypal and mythological dimensions.
This modern cosmology provides a strikingly apt meta-phor for the relationship between the conscious and the unconscious aspect of the human psyche.(20) The realm of the conscious,(21) the arena of images, known content, feelings, thoughts and desires, comprises only a fraction of the total psyche. Like the luminous galaxies in the universe, it is enfolded in a much larger, invisible component - the unconscious. Just as invisible matter dominates the universe's physical evolution, the intangible unconscious dominates psychological evolution. Yet, consciousness plays a critical role, since the unconscious is often reacting to it. Although visible ego consciousness has occupied much of recent psychological thought, depth psychology has postulated that the dark, invisible aspect of the psyche - the unconscious - displays a profound wisdom in directing human psychological evolution.
Through a series of specific compensations, the unconscious guides the individual along a certain, unique tra-jectory. Through the symbolic understanding of dreams, fantasies and emotional responses, this dynamic process can be observed. In this way, the immense unconscious, whose presence can only be discovered through inference guides psychological evolution in the same manner that the invisible matter in the universe decides its ultimate evolution. However, unlike the universe, that according to general relativity, only has two possible end points, the unconscious guides each individual to a unique expression of wholeness and their particular identity.
The personal realization that an impersonal intelligence, superior to the ego and personal will, guides human development through unconscious compensation, is the psychological equivalent of the Copernican Revolution. It is a major psychological shift to appreciate that the unseen, non localized, immaterial presence is the director of life, as opposed to the overly valued conscious and localized ego.
Shortly after Einstein's 1916 development of general relativity, astronomers discovered that the stars first seen through Galileo's telescope were only in this galaxy, merely one undistinguished member among billions in the universe. Edwin Hubble then discovered that distant galaxies recede from the point of observation, with velocities proportional to their distance from this point. It seemed that astronomers had overthrown the geocentric view, only to find themselves at the centre of cosmic expansion.
A two dimensional analog to this four dimensional space-time, modern cosmological situation can illustrate their initial dilemma. If a balloon with pennies (representing observers) glued to its surface, is blown up, from the vantage point of a penny, all other pennies move away from it with a Hubble expansion. Each penny sees the others receding from it with a velocity that increases with the two dimensional distance between the pennies. Similarly, each cosmic observer would see the same Hubble expansion regardless of the vantage point in the universe. Thus, modern cosmology removes all privilege, all uniqueness. It has truly completed the Copernican Revo-lution.
The psychological experience of ego's centrality finds a reflection in every cosmic observer seeing themselves as the centre of a Hubble expansion. Individuals each experience themselves as the centre of their psychological drama, relating to the experience of ego, the centre of empirical consciousness. In truth, each is only one of an infinite number of equivalent focal points for an imaginatively larger motion.
With the recognition of the inner psychological motions that condition and distort human experience, the historical Copernican Revolution can be appreciated psychologically, as individual awareness of existing as the centre of experience, being projected onto geocentric cosmology.
Thought and ideas are also vibrating, similarly to matter, but at a higher rate.(35) It has been suggested that humans can become aware of this high frequency reality, akin to Plato's world of forms, and read out the thought waves of the universe in states of increased awareness.(36) In these states, body and brain cells are interacting with other electromagnetic fields, circulating in the universe. Accordingly, this has prompted a new psychology of being that recognises the interface of the self as a pulsating wave with other thought waves in the universe.
The veil has been lifted from the ancient references to the relationship of humanity's harmonic movement with the motion of the spheres. Humanity is being swept out of the mechanistic Newtonian universe and once again enfolded in the ancient Greeks' organic cosmos where all matter is alive and vibrating in a rhythmic cosmic dance.

22. According to Carl Jung, this is the homeostatic mechanism of the psyche, the guiding force for individuation.
23. Quantum mechanics resulted from the study of the subatomic realm, that invisible universe underlying, embedded in and forming the fabric of everything around us.
24. "The new data are of such far-reaching relevance that they could revolutionise our understanding of the human psyche… Some of the observations transcend in their significance the framework of psychology… and represent a serious challenge to the current Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm of Western science. They could change drastically our image of human nature, of culture and history, and of reality. - Dr Stainlav Grof on holographic phenomena in The Adventure of Self-Discovery, cited in Talbot, M. - The Holographic Universe.

28. In 1964, theoretical physicist John Stewart Bell at CERN (a center for peaceful atomic research near Geneva), published a mathematical proof that supports this concept. However, his two particle experiment, had to be performed in such an infinitesimally brief instant that there wouldn't be enough time for a ray of light to cross the distance separating the two particles. The technological precision required to perform all the necessary operations within a few thousand-millionths of a second, was not available until the 1970's.

32. The Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, England was a protégé of Einstein's and is one of the world's most respected quantum physicists. Bohm became convinced of the universe's holographic nature after years of dissatisfaction with standard theories' inability to explain all the phenomena encountered in quantum physics. - Talbot, M. - The Holo-graphic Universe, pg 1.
33. Bohm's assertion is that everyday life is actually a type of illusion, like a holographic image. Underlying it is a deeper order of existence, a vast and more primary level of reality that gives birth to all the objects and appearances of the physical world in much the same way that a piece of holographic film gives birth to a hologram. - ibid, pg 46.
