"The bottom line is that the universe is open," states physicist David Deutsch.   "In the relevant sense of the word, we have free will."  "We also have every possible option we've ever encountered acted out somewhere in some universe by at least one of our other selves.  We take all the roads in our lives".

In the many worlds view, time travel is no more paradoxical - although it may prove a bit more difficult - than any other form of transportation.  If you got particularly angry with yourself or something you once did, or might do, you could even travel to the past - or the future - and change your actions.  Different times are nothing less than different universes.  "The universes we can affect we call the future.  Those that can affect us, we call the past."

These statements are borrowed from an article I had written:

Multiverse Worlds

The above concept  prompted me to ask this question:

"Have you ever felt miserably stuck in life or wondered why  you chose the life you did?"

Is it conceivable based on the concept of multiverse worlds that an individual chose the wrong world to play out his/her life?  Was the choice prompted because there was a certain event or individual responsible from a past life for this choice.  And if so - what was the reason?  Was it love?  Was it forgiveness?  Was it retribution?  The list of possibilities is endless.  And then - was it worth it?

Out of the archives of my memory bank, I vaguely remember a novel written by Caldwell Taylor in which she wrote about several of her past lives. In one of her recollections, she explained how she had gone from lifetime to lifetime chasing a man whom she had loved in a prior life but had hurt very deeply - and so she wanted to find him and make amends.  The frustration was that she never did reconcile with him. 

So what is the purpose of trying to undo what has already been lived?

In another article I wrote:

Parallel Universes

Modern science postulates that we are living in a 3-zone time frame:  past,  future, and "vertical time".  Vertical time suggests that at any moment of time, many, many experiences are playing out at the same moment.  The key is that they are already created.  How many of you have heard that we create our reality? 

Quantum Physics is now suggesting that it may be more accurate to state that rather than creating our reality, if they are already created, we  choose which of the many possibilities already created we bring to bear in our lives. On a personal level, if we are diagnosed with a health threatening challenge, for every moment of personal challenge, there are other possibilities where that simply does not exist!

Perhaps this is the foundation on which this statement, albeit challenged in the minds of many, has been said:

"We have free will"

Free will to choose what world we wish to live in? What life we wish to live and with whom?   Indeed, it is something to think about.
