Your Mirror Universe? Or Just a Parallel Universe.

I do alot of Shamanic and spiritual work so I know there are more realities then I or anyone else can ever imagine... And Prior to our history, there has been a cycle of other Nations and Empires we never knew of.. Where South America and Africa were the superpowers.. Just over time natural disasters wiped most of that away... and people had to start over in a cycle that has gone on for longer than we are aware of. Your thoughts is another plane or reality in its own, and people can learn to manifest their thoughts into reality.. I am still trying to manifest me alot of money to save my home, and to make a big difference in the lives of those around me with it... Any story you have ever read any move your have ever watched, is partly people tapping into other realities without realising, or even creating their own realities similar to the Never End Story and fantasia. :) - DNatureofDTrain

From the viewpoint of the mirror universe, it would be ours that was dark, twisted, and backward.

Wait - I meant to ask how your avatar inspired the discussion!

I love this topic as its the kind of thing I think about. I actually wanted to use the term parallel universe in my recent post about creating your own life but wasn't sure other mylotters were sci-fi/fantasy fans like me or into the science of possibilites like What the Bleep Do We Know shows. There are so many book series about this but can't think of any right now. :( What if Hitler had taken over the world - or Rome never fell? Although there is yet another conspiracy theory www.whatistheendgame.com that there is a shadow group/government that wants a pure race so far we're safe. No Real proof of concentration camps or racial cleansing. But what if it were a dark but organized world that Hitler envisioned? The world would be a scary place. I like blonde and blue eyed as much as the next girl but a homongenized world wouldn't cut it for me. What if the South won? Japan took over the world? I've read a series much like what you suggest - that their is a magic realm side by side with our own - I would love that. I think it was Piers Anthony. What if history was just about the same, minute differences. I've thought of this as a child even. Once when a car almost hit me on the way to Elm. School I thought what if (I'd devoured my mom's sci-fi/fantasy books practically all in the fourth grade) in some other world that car had hit me? My idea was a bit different though. I thought - what if this reality is my reality - for my lessons (I'd also read Jonathon Livingston Seagull) and so maybe I never get seriously hurt (why I didn't think being physically hurt was a lesson in itself) but people I know and others get hurt so I can learn from them. But what if at the moment, in another world - I was hit by that card. Yes, I was a strange child. What if every crossroads we come too, we break off another parallel world. I chose to go right, and talk to this person - this started a specific reality, but what if I also at the same time decided to go right - and never spoke to that person? I used to have vivid dreams of seeing pictures of myself - on a boat wiith friends and such - and in the dreams I knew that this was me in another reality (have I mentioned I have a great imagination - especially when asleep?). It was unusual, because most of my dreams then and now were stories my mind concocted - where I wasn't me. I could live whole lifetimes in the dreams - but not as Amy. Wow, I've rambled enough. I could go off and write short stories about multiple dimensions/world. But I can't really write like I used to - as more then half of my attention - no matter what I do is uusally on my baby - unless my husbnd is actually watching him!

I look at it in terms of the universe being infinite. Who knows what else is out there? I think there very well could be a mirror or parallel universe. Why not? People may want to say no, but what is the reason for that? We don't know what's out there. I like to have something to believe in.:P

This makes me think of the theory of whether or not things still exist when no ones there to see them. Does a tree still make noise when it falls if no one is there to hear it? Well does it? Are things there because we think they are? Or are they real? Could we make the world a different place just by imagining it and ignoring whats really going on?

Wow, this one is very thought-provoking, you've outdone yourself here, Pro! I think there just may be one or more parallel and mirror universes and they may explain the strange feeling of deja-vue we all have had or odd dreams that I've had that were so real and are of and about people I don't know in reality - or what I THINK is my reality - but in the dream I know them intimately. It may have to do with, as an earlier poster said, taking another turn or making a different choice at a particular juncture in our lives. For me, maybe in one I'd never gone to that drive-in restaurant when I was 16, so I'd never met my husband so these people I'm with in my dream are the people who became my friends and family in that "other" life. There could be an infinite number of universes, in some I obviously may not exist depending on the roads my parents had taken, or their parents, etc., etc. Maybe these deja vue instances and these strange dreams are actually our "other selves" trying to steer us the right way or even to make us appreciate the universe we're in or the life we've chosen. If only I could remember some of these dreams better after I wake up! Some of them are really GOOD, or I think they are if only I could piece them together more clearly. Great post, Pro! Annie

Hello Pro WOW this is really amazing and yes i have my own mirror Universe in which there are of course no boundaries. No countries, no religion, everybody speaks everybody else's languages and just to break the monotony we are occasionally under attack from the nearest Universe LOL. You already put the 'magic' idea but my Universe does have lots of magic. There is only ONE school, One post office, One bank, One theater, One every thing LOL and if somebody wants to add something just think and it happens in front of everyone so everyone can enjoy it at the same time ...hhmmmm but if there really was a Universe and they happened to look at us i am sure they would find us all crazy , mean and stupid running after things that we really don't need. Because the actual things that we really need like air, food water and LOVE is already THERE :)

What I believe changes from day to day. I would believe in multiple realities before I would believe on one parallel universe. What brings me to this idea is all the different religious beliefs that exist in our world. All the different things that people believe about where we go after we die. We've got those who believe in reinarnation. Those who believe in heaven and hell. Those who believe we just have one shot at life and then we become compost. Some believe in ghosts. I'm not sure what those who practice wicca believe. When pondering all these possibilites and trying to decdied "who's right?", it occured to me that maybe everyone is right. Maybe we choose our path by choosing what to believe. If you think your going to heaven, that's where you go. If you think you are going to hell...then you go there. If you believe in reincarnation you get another shot. That's my theory. I don't hold onto it steadfastly, but it's something that I think of sometimes. I don't think this is exactly the type of response you were after, but it's what came to my mind when I read your intro. Good luck with your discussion.
