The End of the World As We Know It

Recently while listening to a sporting event on my car radio, guidance suggested that I should turn the radio off for a while and come back later in the game. Things were starting to go badly however and I wanted to see how they would turn out. Well, things continued their downward path resulting in the eventual loss of the game. Call me guilty of magical thinking, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that had I followed guidance, turned the game off and came back later that the outcome would have been different. Pondering how that could even be possible led me to an intriguing what if.

On the surface, this line of thought is ridiculous. Of course, there is no way that the actions of one individual could change what hundreds of thousands of other people were experiencing. How could my decision change the realities of all the others? This in turn led me to consider again the concept of each person creating and being responsible for their lives and here is where it got interesting. We tend to think that what goes on out in the world is objective reality. We know that each person’s perspective gives them an individual view, and that no two people see things in the same way or would describe an event precisely the same, but we still think that what occurs is what really occurs.

What if consensual reality is more fluid than that? What if every time we make a decision we don’t change everyone else’s reality, but we do change ours? What if turning the game off and then coming back to it later had taken me to another version of consensus where the outcome was different? Could it be that all outcomes to any question are all happening simultaneously and we tune in to the version that resonates for us at any given moment? Could it be that anything really is possible by tuning to alternate frequencies while others are free to experience whatever version of reality they need to at other levels?

Could this be what Lewis Carroll had in mind when he had the Red Queen recommend to Alice that she believe three impossible things before breakfast every morning?
