Alternate Timelines

-


So I've written a lot about the infinite existence and the possibility of countless universes with both the same and completely different structures and arrangements of substance and just "things" in general within those universes, for lack of a better word. 

   Today, I want to talk about a different concept and distinguish and separate it from the concept of alternate universes. It is alternate timelines of our own universe. The difference between a timeline and a universe is that a timeline pertains to time within a particular universe, not a universe in its own right.

   To start, picture where you are at right now, and think of all the options to do or say something at this particular moment in time. The options you have can be larger or smaller given your circumstances, but your options in a given place and a given time if you include everything you can do or say and every direction you can go are actually fairly large for a willful entity like a human.

       Now an alternate timeline would be a timeline of this universe where a choice you didn't make in this timeline was actually made in that other timeline. If the possibility that anything that can happen does happen, just branching off in different timelines, then think of all the possible choices in your life over the course of it that you didn't make as actually having been made and a new timeline branched off with each choice. Each new timeline of your life would have an almost innumerable branch-off of new timelines within that timeline even just over the course of a few days, let alone months or years

    Now picture the complexity of timeline branch-offs with each possible option/choice, and than the branch-offs within branch-offs (new timelines within new timelines) and than multiply this complexity with the sheer volume of human beings on this planet who are given similar choices and presented with their own set of options.

        The timelines that branch off from options under the whole "whatever can happen does happen, just in different timelines" becomes quite unfathomably complex, and if you factor in the motion of particles and energy and bodies moving through space and all the other objects, living things and parts of systems within the whole universe over the course of time, the whole timeline branches become almost as complex as an infinite neural network. 

         I like the idea of the "whatever can happen does happen, just in different timelines" hypothesis. It adds an exciting complexity to an already complex universe, and opens the possibility that in those timelines where your life turned out differently, maybe their is a chance where you can live a timeline of your life where you didn't lose who and what you lost in this one, or a timeline where you got to live a dream you didn't get to live in this one. The possibilities of the alternate timelines of a universe add a similar level of mental excitement as the "Infinite Existence" meditations and thinkings that I do quite often.

Complexity excites me, gives me hope, and exercises my mind. It gives me a sense of higher purpose and a more wondrous existence, and helps me appreciate the power, wonder, and glory of the Creator all the more.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
