Quotes I Love

[AnthroHeart]

It's kind of a trippy thought to consider that if all realities already exist, and always will exist within the eternal now, then that means that this particular probability stream you find yourself on is basically your own personal refraction of the light of infinity, based on the distortions of your particular focus of identity.

That isn't to say or imply that the other persons you see about you aren't real (quite the opposite), but rather, it is to say that this particular probability stream was chosen by all beings and entities you encounter here, on some level or another. No matter what parallel probability stream you shift to, or find yourself on, there are going to be versions of people and beings that are choosing those realities by the nature and vibrations of their consciousness (and I would further argue that these realities are predominantly attracted by the nature of the karma we need to balance -- which is the genesis point for the particular vibrations we are calling our "personalities").

It's kind of a frightening thought at first because it tends to engender the feeling that we are not that special or unique if there are an infinity of other versions of ourselves, but really, that is the ego talking when that thought arises. Look at a brood of insects, for example, how special do you think they feel? Probably not a thought that enters their non ego driven minds. But I find it interesting to think about the sheer scope and quantity of lifeforms produced by the insect kingdom. How many billions upon billions of them are born and die every second? And we, in our egos, seem to think we are more unique and special than that.  

But we're not. In fact, many people reject the infinite parallel world hypothesis for no other reason than it makes them not feel as special. Personally, I see parallel versions of myself spreading across the infinity of realities in the same light. None are better or worse. All are equally special or non-special, depending on ones point of view. There are infinite gradations, but all are unique in some way, else they wouldn't exist.

And yet, there is only one Source, and we are all it. We are all extensions of the same intelligence. The same infinity. The same creative energy.

Pondering infinity is equal parts frightening in its unlimited scope as it is awe inspiring by the same token.
