Paralell Universe/Multiple Realities

It was 9:18, my time I’d just gotten up from bed after staring up at the ceiling pondering the concept of a parallel or multiple universes..
The ceiling, a patterned row of squares, row upon row, helped organize my thoughts about the possibilities.

Having come to some conclusion I jumped to my computer, got online and went straight to the personal development blog, clicked on Multiple Universes, a new thread that had started at 9:07.  I felt connected.

It had been my focus all week, reading various science sites, mixing it with my own ideas in an effort to make sense of uncanny experiences, where a multiple universe would be a satisfying discovery.

Reads by Dr. Michio Kaku, the originator of string theory, theories by Hugh Everett, Niels Bohr, Einstein and more.

A good site with information:

An interesting book on the subject:
“The Universe and multiple reality by Prof. M.R. Franks, and he quotes:

“There is no one reality. Each of us lives in a separate universe. That’s not speaking metaphorically. This is the hypothesis of the stark nature of reality suggested by recent developments in quantum physics. Reality in a dynamic universe is non-objective. Consciousness is the only reality.”

The following are blog entries that make damn sense, taken from the “Personal Development for Smart People” blog forum at www.stevepavlina.com

I believe all possibilities already exist. It’s like a hypersphere of experience radiating outwards into infinity. It is composed of consciousness. Points of consciousness determine what experience they have based on what they tune their consciousness to. It is similar to an enormous ocean of frequency. What we think of as “wave collapse” is consciousness transversing along nodes of experience because its focus or frequency has changed.

So from that perspective all realities exist. An infinity of them. We get to sift through that infinity of parallel realities and pluck out conscious experiences to have.

Good. In my case right now it’s more like potentialities or possibilities…a possibility can be said to “exist”, no? Every time we make a decision, no matter how minor, we alter what is compared with what could have been. In that respect we aren’t plucking, we’re producing the reality, but the possibility of that reality existed before we caused it to manifest.

From my perspective (and that’s all it is, so your view is perfectly valid as well), I see the world in terms of experience. Experience exists within the field of consciousness.

On one level, we exist as points of consciousness experiencing various things or possible events, a small percentage of which, become actualized events for us.

On another level, which I would call the continuum of consciousness, all POSSIBLE experience is already enfolded and manifest.

The tangible realm is contained inside the intangible realm. If that makes any sense.

Your essence is far more vast than your human body can accommodate. However, there are countless parallel “you’s” with the same or similar overleaves and similar bodies. These parallel you’s are experiencing different aspects of your life task, giving your essence a more complete experience of the physical plane. Some may think of these parallel you’s as not being as valid as the you who is reading these words. They are, in fact, as real to themselves as you are to yourself. Sometimes there is bleedthrough between parallel selves, especially when you are asleep and dreaming.

A post that got my goat in response to a blogger asking for information about the existance of Multiple Universes…
(I’ll have to meditate on it to see why it did):

What kind of answer are you looking for? Like you want to know if it’s true or not? If that’s the question you have, I think it is something you will have to meditate on and think about, and just “feel” if it’s true for you or not.
I studied this theory in a class this semester, and basically we learned that some people believe it might exist, but there is no scientific way to ever confirm or deny its existence.

While I get that one needs to find out how they feel about something, that information doesn’t prove its existence or not. As if saying that if they exist for you than they do in fact exist. It’s not subjective. The oft loosely spoken “we create our own realities” comes to mind. The term should be “we create our own situations that can affect reality”.

Wikipedia Reality Definition: (many pages on reality)
Reality (disambiguation) refers to the state of things as they actually exist as opposed to how they could possibly exist.
Reality, in everyday usage, means “the state of things as they actually exist”. [1] [2] The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature). In other words, “reality”, as a philosophical category includes the formal concept of “nothingness” and articulations and combinations of it with other concepts (those possessing extension in physical objects or processes for example).
In the strict sense of western philosophy, there are levels or gradation to the nature and conception of reality. These levels include, from the most subjective to the most rigorous: phenomenological reality, truth, fact, and axiom.

When one lives by their own rules or standards in contrast to following the status quo, as if Society is a model of the norm, the collquial definition of reality gets put to use and one that gets me all tied up in a knot. Society is no example of what is real. It is merely a form among many that people follow or don’t. However, mass consciousness tends to follow society’s standard.

I don’t need to convince myself that multiple realties or universes exist. For me, they do. The point is, do they exist separate from my experience? Because if they don’t then….?

In the Theory of Positive Disintegration by Polish psychiatrist and psychologist, he writes that society is the lowest level of consciousness.

Subjective Reality-Life is Not My Dream

I know from personal experience my emotional resonance effects my reality BUT physical reality is not my individual dream or creation.
How do I know this? What’s the proof?
LANGUAGE
When I was in infant form and knew no words or language how did I dream
others who could talk and speak and teach me to talk if everything in my personal reality is a product of my individual consciousness?

If reality is subjective then it’s all about me…there is no ‘other’ to learn from.
So anything which is developed can only be developed by me…there is no one else.
So where did these ‘teachers’ come from and why did I forget how to walk and talk?

Unless reality is subjective and I’m just schizophrenic.
