Something similar will sometimes happen when I am writing something. Thoughts and ideas appear on the page that I did not see coming. But what is more curious, is that I have noticed that when I find myself perplexed about some question or other, I will often soon after find an answer woven into the events (personal or larger) of my daily life. It is as if the story changes just to show me the answer to what I have been struggling with. This is why though I do believe we share a common consensus reality, the degree of that consensus may be much smaller and more fleeting than we know. This common reality which we all seem to share may be no more persistent then the present moment, after that, perhaps we are all off on our own paths, exploring through the multiverse multidimensional matrix of cause and effect from which we continually create and recreate our individual realities. Of course the present moment is really all there is, so I suppose we are always there together, it is just perhaps a matter of what part of it (and which of us) we are holding in our awareness in that present moment.

Hi all,

I like the view of inavalan, quoted above, about being able to do miracles while you are dreaming if you could be conscious enough that you are in a dream state. I study healing and pray a lot as well...but i am always upset that when i am dreaming, mostly if i am having a nightmare, i do not remember to pray or heal...I wish i can get strong enough to be able to get to that point where i would remember or be able to think to do so even when i sleep...i could escape a lot faster from those nightmares or from getting upset in a dream...which make me sad when i wake up...

I think that the book "One" (title) by one of my favorite author Richard Bach, is about that Schrödinger's cat theory... very interesting indeed :)

Well, if it is anything like Jonathan Livingston Seagull, then it is bound to be a good read.

Anyway, my post was not originally about the cat, but rather about the implications of the study. If the fate of the cat was truly universally unpredictable and random, then perhaps, I could not exist. In a Newtonian clocklike universe, I am nothing but a spinning gear, slowly wearing itself out, my "I" is illusory and temporary. But in one where there is uncertainty and probability and influence over outcome, there is room for an "I", however difficult it may be to pin down, it can exist.

Nice points!

I think the soul is the "I" or our "I" , and so can only exist ... in the physical real or not ...

Note: The book is about parallel or simultaneous lives with different possible outcomes... a little difficult to read ... not really like his other books
