The claim that the CIA has "casually released documents" stating that we live in an energy hologram and that astral projection is real is a mix of popular conspiracy theories and misinterpretations of declassified documents. While the CIA has indeed declassified many documents related to paranormal research, remote viewing, and other unconventional topics, the interpretation that this confirms we live in a hologram or that astral projection is scientifically proven is not supported by mainstream science.

### What the CIA Actually Released

1. **Remote Viewing and the Stargate Project**
The CIA funded and declassified documents related to the **Stargate Project**, a program that explored **remote viewing**-the claimed ability to perceive distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception (ESP). These documents are available publicly and show the agency's interest in psychic phenomena during the Cold War. However, the results were inconclusive and often criticized for lack of scientific rigor.

2. **No Official Confirmation of "Energy Hologram" Reality**
The idea that reality is a hologram comes from theoretical physics concepts like the **holographic principle**, which is a complex and speculative theory about the nature of the universe. This concept is not something the CIA has officially endorsed or confirmed.

3. **Astral Projection**
Astral projection is a metaphysical concept where a person's consciousness is said to travel outside their physical body. While it has been studied in parapsychology and mentioned in some documents related to psychic research, it remains a subjective experience without scientific consensus or empirical proof.
