For example, a single woman chooses to marry John instead of George. Her options regarding a husband have just narrowed. But other options, regarding family, children, intimacy, commitment, etc. have just expanded. So while the set of probability/possibility vortices having to do with potential mates has ceased, a new set of probability/possibility vortices are created by her action.
there are greater contexts - john, george, woman can all make different choices regarding totally irrelevant things. john may take up some different career or go abroad. or john may shut in, become antisocial or even negative. these all may have consequences.
Quote:How do we know they aren't already in different timelines? That is the crux of my question.
if they are in different timelines, they are. the ones that are in our timeline, are those who chose this timeline, or was able to choose at most this timeline, the closest to their desire.
Quote:From their perspective, they don't see the other potential realities...they only see their own. So, from their perspective, that is the only one that matters!
For example, those who see President Obama as the 'anti-Christ' aren't open to anything good he might do, even though they watch the same news reports as those who like him...those who are convinced the government is run by evil reptilians planning a massive genocide of the human race, automatically assume that every hurricane was artificially created, totally disregarding any possibility that there might actually still be some natural disasters...and so on...
to be honest, actually, these do not constitute reality creating or much less anything than a self perceptive.
i think that for reality creating, a desire needs to exist, and there should be strong will behind that desire. what they are doing seems to be just interpreting what they see as they want. they are not saying 'i want reptilians to destroy the world'. they are saying 'i believe they are doing that'. it is not a desire and a will put behind it. its just skewed perception. they may be living it inside their mind, however, it will probably remain inside their mind.
Quote:Maybe they aren't! What if, even though they are physically on the same planet, sharing certain elements of consensual reality, other aspects of their realties are different, based on their chosen perspectives and choices?
if an entity is living in a parallel reality/universe, s/he has to be in that universe. i dont know whether s/he can be in both.
Quote:Maybe, in my fundamentalist sister's chosen reality, Obama really is the anti-Christ, because that is what she is intent upon believing. Could she be creating that world for herself, while I create a different world for myself?
it is possible that a fundamentalist sister and you exist in a different universe, and in that universe barack obama is really anti christ, or whatever that means.
but then again, such a universe may exist, and your fundamentalist sister's some other self may be there, but, you may not be there. they are all possibilities.
it depends on whether your totality needs to experience whatever is in that universe, or not.
