Why are there different times of the day? Why did I invent days when there is only the moment?  Quite like the idea of there being different days though.  Why do keep I falling asleep...</p> <p>Etc, etc.  Before I typically go to bed and fall asleep.</p> <p>Another aspect about this condensation is the awareness of parallel universes.  Well, let's start with a single universe, or a single event.  Let's do both.  Say, the singularity that's considered as the big-bang, and waking up in the morning. -Whatever, things happen in a way that we usually consider to be 'cause and effect'.  Event B follows on from event A, as a consequence of event A. </p> <p>Without Heisenberg we end up with a universe or a self at point C, and history, which looks like this...</p> <p><font face="Courier New">A-->B-->C</font></p> <p>Outside of time, we can see these events as being chained together, connected, linked.  From a higher dimension, if I take your phrase and replace the word 'locations' with 'moments in time', we see things happen.  We see events "illuminated into existence into slightly different<i> moments in time</i> in rapid succession".</p> <br> <p>With Heisenberg, and from a higher dimension still we get...</p> <p><font face="Courier New" size="3">       C1<br>      /<br>     /<br>    B1--C2<br>   / \<br>  /   \<br> A1    -C3<br>  \   /<br>   \ /<br>    B2--C4<br>     \<br>      \<br>        C5</font></p> <p>- A network of possible worlds. </p> <br> <p>The feeling I get from Salvia, since it has revealed these worlds in the first place.  Is that it must be possible to somehow<i> navigate</i> reality.  That the reality that one 'drops into', as one coalesces into the moment, can be a reality of ones<i> choosing</i>, something that one<i> intends</i>.  I think this is how consciousness is involved in the creation of reality, and to me it what is sorcery is essentially about.</p> </blockquote> <hr>   <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="21%"> <p align="left"><a href="psychologyproof.htm#end"><Back to Proof</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="./">Psychology</a></td> <td width="17%"> <p align="center"><a href="../">S&R Menu</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../menu2.htm">Menu 2</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../home.htm">Main Menu</a></td> <td width="15%"> <p align="right"><a href="../../contact/">Contact</a></td> </tr> </table> </body>
