Where you are now does not dictate where you must go. It can have an influence, no more. Each human has many futures available – they are optional.
Sub-atomic particles only appear in a single place when they are observed or measured. Essentially, they are potentially everywhere simultaneously – until we come on the scene. It is we, with our intent to measure, to observe, that places them in time and space.
Because we are aware of them, is the reason that they have this substance. Another interesting fact is that if these particles are associated but are then spread around the entire universe, then if you do something to one, you effect the others – even though they could be light years apart (in space and time). We create the universe as we know it. Without us, the universe would not be this universe.
Stick with me for the moment and accept that quantum mechanics establishes these facts.
The universe is only what we perceive to be because we perceive it. Furthermore, what we perceive is basically an internal representation of incoming data that is processed according to our belief systems – conscious and unconscious – and we construct an image within our mind and that represents our view of the universe.
I’ll leave it there for now, perhaps come back another time and dig deeper. But it’s good for us to have our beliefs and models shaken up from time to time.
Returning to the original proposition – that we each have many futures . . .
Depending on on what we intend to observe, we (consciously or unconsciously) select one path into the future. A different intention – a different path into the future. The perception of the data from that path is structured according to our belief systems. Read these three sentences again.
“If you want to change the world, simply change yourself.”
Now, imagine that you could pick where you want to be in the future. That you could go into the future and be at this destination looking back to where you are now and see the whole landscape in between. You notice many different routes that lie between. Only some bring you to your destination. With that capability you would be confident that you can pick the destination you truly intend to reach and because of your powers of observation, to then pick the best path that to this end.
A final thought – without the end, how can the means be defined. So with the end clear, its now only the means we have to sort out. More coming soon . . .
