I suppose that if we're to decide there are several Universes, we must first determine that "matter" is real. Not to be too silly about this point, but I feel sure that matter is real, because I have yet to be able to walk through walls.
In listening to physicists who are now studying the Quantum universe, they appear now to believe there are many Universes. "Uni" meaning "One", perhaps now we should refer to them as "Multiverses". Some physicists are now using this new term. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that science is now postulating that there are many Universes, that there are parallel Universes, and that time/space can be bent and shifted. For those of us who walk in two worlds (or more), this postulation feels more than a little delayed. The ancient ones, the Shamans of tribes throughout the world, walked in many worlds, all of which felt real to them. Even shape-shifting may just be transferrence from one world to the next, and back again.
I'd love to hear from others who have contemplated the existence of other worlds. Can we perhaps set up a forum here, and chat about it? Perhaps we can share our own experiences and beliefs.
Well, I am certainly on the same page as you - I feel like I have my feet in different "worlds" in dreamtime on a daily basis. I have experienced being in different bodies (very odd to see myself in mirrors in these experiences!!) as well as different times and terrain. Of course many (if not all) physicists say that matter is not a solid nor is it real (and like you Nanette, I have yet to walk through walls nor fly - but have in Dream time!) and so I too wonder how to break the barrier to what we perceive as real and solid and to REALLY see what is there or not there.
ReplyDeleteI know that our mind and belief system is what makes our world a reality. I am currently reading "Mind into Matter: A New Alchemy of Science and Spirit" by Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D. and having serious "Aha!" moments. His coverage of ancient religions and talking about the Hebrew alphabet being the doorways to breaking barriers is most fascinating! (you and I will have to have a LONG tea over this one, I suspect, Nan!)
Anyhow, my lunch break is nearly over, but I for one would love to have some kind of discussion on this for sure! Count me in!
