READ the forum rules, you are all equal to hecklers at a private ceremony!
These are wonderful words by Einstein quoted by SkepticOverlord!
" "Imagination is more important than knowledge." The true denial of ignorance must also include and often embrace even the most fanciful exaggerations of possibilities in order to understand and explore the upper limits of what might be possible.

As I mentioned before, I believe it is healthy and good to discuss all manner of outlandish theories, even without empirical evidence. And I'm certainly not trying to stop anyone from doing so in this thread.
However, that does not mean that we cannot discuss the actual merits of these theories.
I mean, are you honestly suggesting that if someone says that the ending of "We are the Champions" is evidence of an alternate timeline, I can't point out that radio stations often receive shorter radio-edits of a song?

When it doesn't contribute to the evolution of the idea and merely shoots it down with no basis.

You didn't do the research clearly on that topic you just rave but there are people who already looked deeply into the subject.
To extend the olive branch, I gave you a star. I appreciate when you guys post actual things that we can talk about.

I like the word talk and discuss even more, without rudeness, and with respect especially for the OP who placed their thread right where it was supposed to be. Clearly both sides are goaded on and on until the whole subject is buried, it is difficult NOT to think some people do this on purpose. I am glad to see you are not wanting that.

I am actually wondering if there is some common denominator for those who have been convinced there are changes. They seem to be compassionate types from just a general scan of the ones I can get a feel for.
Maybe there actually are more compelling pieces of evidence hiding somewhere in people's memories, and perhaps real research could unearth them. We could put some thought into how such evidence might be collected.
The theory implies that death simply does not exist. It is an illusion which arises in the minds of people. It exists because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. That fits well with the basic postulates of quantum mechanics science, according to which a certain particle can be present anywhere and an event can happen according to several, sometimes countless, ways.
Lanza believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. These universes contain multiple ways for possible scenarios to occur. In one universe, the body can be dead. And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated into this universe.
In November 2012 I was on regular patrol, when a Dodge Challenger SRT 8 blew past me on the highway going 99 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. I whipped my car around, and the chase was on. The Challenger was killing me with speeds reaching about 131 (as fast as my Vic would go.) On one particular road the Challenger turned down, there is about a 4 mile stretch of straight, but hilly road that has a T intersection at the end. I had almost lost sight of the car, but happened to catch his tail lights just in time to see him turn East at the intersection.
Now, this is where it gets weird. I remember coming up to the T intersection, trying to slow down. Within I'd say, maybe 200 yards from it, I looked down at my speed noticed I was going way to fast to make it (approximately 95-100 MPH.) I remember hitting the brakes as hard as I could and seeing the dirt berm coming up quick. I remember closing my eyes and asking God to watch over my kids, because I knew I had made a fatal mistake, and was a dead man.
But nothing happened. No loud crash, no tires squealing, no glass, no airbags, or anything of that nature. I opened my eyes and I was traveling East bound from the North bound road at 50 MPH. It still drives me crazy to this day wondering what happened. Did I die and this is all a dream? Did the universe reach out and save me?
I wish I knew the answers. I even caught the guy as a highway patrolmen had put out stop sticks a few miles down the East bound road. From the video on the troopers dash cam, I was 35 seconds behind the Challenger. Any ideas that might explain this other than divine intervention?
TL DR; Was in a pursuit coming in hot North bound to a T intersection, closed my eyes and waited for my death, to open my eyes and see I was alive and traveling down the East crossroad.

“What’s fascinating is, many of us tend to think of quantum mechanics applying on small scales,” says David Kaiser, the Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and professor of physics at MIT. “But it turns out that we can’t escape quantum mechanics, even when we describe processes that happen over large distances. We can’t stop our quantum mechanical description even when these things leave one state and enter another, traveling hundreds of miles. I think that’s breathtaking.”

Thus the fusion of our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and intentions, which I will call the human energy field for simplicity’s sake, is perpetually informing the quantum reality within us and around us at each moment of our existence.
And because reality is flashing in and out of existence (hypothetically at Planck time – 1044 times per second – as explained by The Resonance Project biophysicist William Brown), every time our reality oscillates between form, and the pure energy state of the field, our awareness which is constant and doesn’t flash in and out of existence informs the field what to reappear as when it makes its transition back to form at the quantum level.
Therefore each time we oscillate into formlessness, we have complete and total control and responsibility over what we choose with our attention to manifest out of the field in the next moment, and our power and ability to do so relies entirely what we believe, and on how we are feeling.

That's because you were all exposed to the same environmental variables that led you to make that same mistake.

I have wondered if they would register as an F (feeler) rather than a T (thinker) on the Myers-Briggs. Please do not take this as an insult, as Feeling is not the same as "emotion" and Thinking is not the same as "intelligence."
Here is a link that explains it: www.myersbriggs.org...
