from Jesus:
It all depends on how you
define alternative realities. If you define them as seen in some science-fiction
movies or books, then the answer is that they do not exist. Even the
theory advanced by some quantum physicists is not correct. In other
words, it is not correct that when you have a situation with 10 options,
that situation will create ten alternative realities with you –
or some form of you – existing in each one.
Just imagine how many people there are on Earth, how many choices they
make daily and how many alternative realities would be created in just
one day. Everything in the material universe is finite. The soul is
created with a finite portion of soul substance. If alternative realities
existed, each reality would have to contain a part of your soul substance,
meaning that your soul would quickly lose so much soul substance that
you would lose all sense of identity and individuality.
As quantum physics explains, before a scientist makes an observation,
a subatomic particle exists in the realm of probability. There might
be a large number of probabilities, but when the scientist makes an
observation, one of the probabilities is actualized as what the scientist
perceives as a subatomic particle. At that point, all of the other probabilities
simply disappear (the quantum waveform collapses) as the world moves
on another step. There is still a realm of probability, but it no longer
contains the exact same probabilities that existed before the observation
was made. Instead, it contains a new set based on the changes created
by the observation.
It is much the same with everyday situations in which you make choices.
In a given situation, you might have 10 available options. Yet when
you make a choice, one of those options becomes a manifest reality,
and the others are no longer available. You have now created a new situation
with new options.
You can understand this when you consider the importance of free will.
You are here to learn, and you learn by making choices and reaping the
consequences of those choices. One of the consequences is that if you
make choices that are out of harmony with the laws of God, you limit
your future options. If all of your choices simply created alternative
realities, a choice would not eliminate future options, and how could
the soul learn from that?
The simple fact is, that there is only one of you, meaning that there
is only one self-conscious being who has the particular sense of identity
that you have right now. There is much more to you than what you experience
in your conscious awareness, yet that more does not exist in the kind
of alternative reality portrayed by science-fiction movies.
It does, however, exist in another realm, as I explain elsewhere.
Your soul is an extension of your I AM Presence, and your I AM Presence
resides in the spiritual realm. Your I AM Presence is also you, although
you probably see yourself as different from or separated from your I
AM Presence at the moment. Nevertheless, a larger part of you does exist
in the spiritual realm at the same time that your soul inhabits your
physical body.
It is possible that your I AM Presence can have a number of souls in
embodiment on Earth at the same time. Other souls might be in embodiment
in other locations in the material universe. So from that perspective,
one might say that there are other parts of the greater you that exist
in alternative realities. Yet those other parts are separate souls,
and they have a separate sense of identity. So they are not directly
affected by the choices you make in this world.
Another option is, as I explain elsewhere,
that a human soul can fragment. This can mean that certain parts of
your soul are trapped in other parts of the four levels of the material
universe. In some cases, a soul can have two or more large fragments
that each inhabit a physical body. It is also possible that a fragment
of your soul split off some time ago and has now ascended to the spiritual
realm. Yet no matter how many fragments you might have, each fragment
does have a separate sense of identity, although there might be many
similarities between the individualities and personalities of the different
fragments.
The basic truth is that there is only one of you, meaning there is only
one being who has your particular sense of identity. You can expand
that sense of identity and unite with a greater part of your being,
and this will greatly change how you see yourself. Yet in the here and
now, you really are who you think you are—you are who you see
yourself as being.
