Part 54. Parallel Realities
Could you please tell me about parallel worlds? Various sources suggest that each of us experiences every possible scenario of our lives simultaneously in parallel incarnations, but we don't remember it. For example, there might be a world where I suffer; a world where I'm happy; a world where I'm rich; a world where I'm poor; and all the intermediate states. If this is true, does that mean that by being happy, I make my double suffer?
You find it difficult to move away from the paradigm of separation. Do you remember how we talked about the living rooms, where the Collective Soul spreads out to experience all possible scenarios, to play in all possible games of reality? Another comparison could be made with an amusement park. You sequentially go through all the rides. On some of them, you are genuinely scared. But once you get off the ride, you shout, "Wow! That was awesome!" Or, "Terrifying! Never again." Now imagine experiencing all the rides in the amusement park simultaneously rather than sequentially. After all these experiences, what would you say? After all, everything happened at once—both fear and excitement. Do you understand? There's no point in separating them. It's all happening simultaneously. It's all your choice to experience it. It's all your experience, and within it, all possible reactions are present. So, you are simultaneously happy, suffering, thrilled, scared, loving, hating, and so on.
You're talking about the final reaction, the reaction after getting off the "ride." That is, when the Higher Self or the Collective Soul gathers the experiences of all its parts' incarnations. But what happens before the experiences are collected? How does the experience of one of my doubles affect the experience of another? In other words, does one experience become the property of all?
Let's figure this out. There are many levels on which you currently exist and gain your experience. The Collective Soul has split into many selves, and you are one of them. Essentially, all these many selves are also you; but for simplicity's sake, let's focus on you. You are clothed in many bodies. And before incarnation, the Collective Soul chooses specific living conditions for you. But it doesn't choose the only possible option, but many options at once. And you also spread out into different rooms of incarnation. At the same time, you are clothed in various bodies, and all your incarnations are also distributed across several planes, corresponding to the bodies. Your physical bodies live on physical planes. Astral bodies on astral planes, mental bodies on mental planes, and so on. But this is still division because, in reality, there is only you. You are multiple. You are quantum. There's no separate physical body and astral body; there's a set of bodies of your double on all planes. And there isn't one double and another double—there are multiple projections of you in different planes of reality.
