Based on the idea of holographic universe in which the world of beings is considered a giant hologram; all the ever beings are only an imagined reflection of their original prototype from another reality beyond time and place. The objective of this current study is to answer this RQ that what could be the relationship among Rumi's observation-as a Muslim observer and Lobsang Rampa- a non Muslim observer, and the idea of holographic universe. Within our conduction it's been highlighted that Rumi & Lobsang Rampa have even utilized the same terms to explain their understandings of the world. Interestingly, the idea of holographic universe has enough evidence to support their metaphysical theories about the existence of cosmos.

They believed in leaving the study of particles and magnetic fields and slanting toward the study of quantum world and creating the existanciology realm for studies. To some scientists, whatever the mystical poems have come to were a shallow understanding of frequencies world. Based on Talbots works, most of the findings of mystical people are in accordance with holographic universe ideas like the creation of the world, the appearance of whole in part, the performance of part with the power of whole, the comprehension of matter and the originality of intelligence and considering awareness as light. Rumi and Rampa have also mentioned metaphysical concepts like the separation of soul and body, belief in invisible world. Rampa has created a definition in which the supersonic molecules bound together and create the body and even in dream there is a protective power which doesn’t allow us to disintegrate from being. Rumi argued that the obstacle of reaching to the other world is mind, senses and mental layers. However, because of the religious differences, Rumi and Rampa eventuate their understanding in different worlds. Rampa believes in reincarnation but Molavi as a Muslim scientist rejects such idea of being.
