This is indeed "food for thought", as UnseekingSeeker just posted.

The "multiple universes" is a subject that I have tried to introduce here in the past so I'm glad that you brought it up.
My teacher did an extensive commentary on the story of Lila and the King from the Yoga Vashistha (reportedly the dialogues between Lord Ram and his guru Vashistha). It speaks of being able to shift one's attention to other universes and actually enter other universes with the ability to communicate with entities there.
In reference to your first comment (quoted above), consciousness does indeed seem to create other consciousnesses. In fact, we do it every night when we create dream universes and sometimes get entangled in them. (The dream example thus demonstrates two levels of consciousness, and I will stop there for the moment.) After one of my meditations related to this subject, my teacher spoke about time within time within time ... and confided that while she could navigate the universe in which we clearly abide (remote viewing, etc.), she stated that she couldn't yet remain firmly established at the next level. That seems to be as good a good as any to trigger further discussion.

In his "Talks", Ramana Maharshi stated that "the reincarnating ego is of the lower planes". At another time when a questioner asked about "reincarnation" and "karma", he simply said "that's what they teach the masses in the temple".
Now, moving on to the higher planes ........

Blessings LEMEX yes have looked beyond the veil of illusion and there is zero
entities present anywhere nor in any multi universes, there is not even one
in the absolute absolute stateless state, as one suggests a BEGINNING, and
Absolute Intelligence has never began "IT just eternally "IS".
regards michael.
