I look at our experiences more as a spiral with the vertical parts of the spiral all aligning with similar themes through our lives and through history. Your view of dimensions are similar to a friend of mine. If you’d like to go further down the rabbit hole, contact Stephen Popiotek on Facebook.

The definition for multiverse I was referencing was this one:

“The second interpretation of quantum theory is the many-worlds (or multiverse theory. It holds that as soon as a potential exists for any object to be in any state, the universe of that object transmutes into a series of parallel universes equal to the number of possible states in which that the object can exist, with each universe containing a unique single possible state of that object. Furthermore, there is a mechanism for interaction between these universes that somehow permits all states to be accessible in some way and for all possible states to be affected in some manner.”

From this perspective, it is not every single possibility that exists, just when a potential for more than one. And there is a mechanism for interaction–who’s to say that mechanism is not the brain? What if the mind acts as a vortex to all our other realities? Perhaps this is why the mind has still not really been found within the brain–because it exists in multiple dimensions.

We still know very little about quantum physics. Certainly too little to say that any person’s interpretation of it is most definitely incorrect. I have faith that within our lifetimes, science and spirituality will come to say basically the same thing.

Oh, and perhaps in your parallel life you didn’t get a ticket but then you got into an accident and smashed up your car and threw out your back. Be grateful for everything in life. What seems crappy can be a blessing in disguise.

Our brain is just a pattern-matching organ, capable of finding meaning in everything. I don’t like the way “the secret” and “law of attraction” explains that aspect of our lives. I don’t want to degrade the world around me by considering myself the only master of my own existence.

Awesome, thought-provoking article! Comparing the current posts on this blog to the ones from last year, it’s all the more clear; Lost has shifted once again from its science-perspective to the faith-stuff. I wonder if those two very different sides to the show will come together before the end.

I’m not going to rant or rave; I’m just going to point to one place where you went way off the scientific path:

“Similarly, you can chose to slip into a version of your life where you have a loving family or where you run a successful business or have become a famous writer, but there is probably no version of your life where you can fly or are a super villain or the richest person in the world. Chances are, it’s just not your path. But it might be someone else’s. Well, except maybe the flying thing. But then again, you never know.”

According to the multiverse theory, there IS a version of “your life” where you can fly and there IS a version where you are a superhero. Because according to the multiverse theory, EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE UNIVERSE exists. Including ones where you have X-Ray vision.

But the idea that through “the secret” “law of attraction” you can will yourself into a different universe is, at the very least, unscientific. I’m not saying that positive thinking doesn’t lead to good results — but that’s psychology, not physics.

I wish you luck, and keep searching!
