I think they forgot to tell you the 72 virgins stay virgins.


I'm sorry to tell you that it is 72 Virginians and boy are they all pissed off.

The conscious, that part of you that tells you - you are living can be created again. Logically it can for it has produced you already once so what stops it all from happening for you again sometime. We and our consciousness's are solely the product of a conversion of energy into matter when our universe was created. There would have to be 'something' in the conversion that stops anything from being produced again if it has already been previously produced once in this or another universe in the past. Can anyone think what this 'something' could be? I can't for
what ever this 'something' is then it would have to contain memory.

if the "multiverse, 11 dimension" theory is correct...big if...then we may go on...unconsciously of this life...of course, we may already be dead in another
dimension.....

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

The 11 presumed dimension are all running concurrently along side one another. Assuming we exist in another possible reality, there is nothing to say that you share a spirit or consciousness with the other you.

In fact, it would prove there is no spiritual connection at all between us and any other existence.

There's no proof in either direction. So, I suspect he's trying to apply Occam's Razor.
And it occurred to me in the last few days: which idea about gravity is simpler? Newton's or Einstein's? But which is accepted as closer to the truth, currently?
General and special realtivity, and quantum mechanics are strange things. Can we really say still that the simplest explanation tends to be the best/correct one?

Do you feel the presence of your other selfs? Do you retain their knowledge or experiences they gain throughout their lifetimes? Is there any reason to believe their is another you in another dimension?

Of course, we can ask if there's any reason to believe there are 11 total dimensions since we can barely quantify 4, if we accept time being the 4th. ;-)

some cognitive researchers are positing that dreams are flashes of alternate universes...

i tend to think anything is possible if not probable...

like revolutions, you either wait for one to start...or you start it yourself.

Regardless of whether there are other dimensions, and whether this life is only one of others, you have to go based on what you see. I am trying to live this life like it is my only chance at the brass ring. If there is more, I had my eye on a nice little condo in Maui to spend eternity.

Those researchers lack proof in their assertions. We already know dreams are merely the mind's subconscious trying to tell us something.

You touch on something here Ozz with time possibly being the 4th dimension.
That is, is there a hierarchy of order when it comes to dimensions and that dimension number four can only be occupied by time. Hence time can only exist in a universe providing dimensions 1, 2 and 3 have been formed first?
