| "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.
