LIVING
IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE ?
THE MAN CALLED MANI
From 210AD to 276 AD a person born in Iran existed by the name of Mani.
He founded one of the major ancient religions called Manichaeism.
The most striking principle of Manichee theology is its dualism..
The universe is considered a battlefield for control between an evil material god, and a good spiritual god.
Christians recognized the evil god in Satan but could not accept the idea that Satan had as much power as God.
Christians held that Satan, unlike God, is a created being.
The term Manichaeistic is often used to describe any religion with a similar concept of struggle between good and evil.
The Manichees made every effort to include all known religious traditions in their faith.
As a result, they preserved many apocryphal Christian works, such as the Acts Of Thomas, that otherwise would have been lost. Mani was eager to describe himself as a "disciple of Jesus Christ", but the orthodox church rejected him as a heretic.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN
The story of Adam and Eve is probably the one that got Mani in the most trouble which eventually led to him being killed.
In the mythical tale he explained the Good God as the Serpent and the Evil God as the one we recognize as the Good God.
Mani said that the serpent told Eve the truth.
That if she took of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil she would become as God and not die as the Evil God told her.
Mani in identifying the serpent as the Good Spiritual God made it clear that the God we identified as Good was the evil physical God because he lied when he told Adam and Eve that if they ate the fruit they would die.
The serpent who Mani said was the Good Spiritual God told Eve that if they ate the fruit they would not die but would become as God which was true.
That statement about identifying which voice was the Good God, the invisible one or the serpent is borne out in this scripture.
John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
So you see Mani is saying that the serpent is the Good God because he told the truth when he said that by eating the fruit, Adam and Eve would become as God, whereas God told them they would die.
Look.
YOU DECIDE, WHO TOLD THE TRUTH?
Genesis 2:16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat: 17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
OK That's God's side, now let's hear from the Serpent
Genesis 3:4. And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not die:
5. For God knows that in the day you eat that, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Now we have two entities here.
One says if you eat you shall die. The other says that’s a lie you will not die but if you eat you shall be as gods.
So who is the liar and remember the Bible says Satan the Devil is the father of lies.
HERE IS THE ANSWER
Genesis 3:22. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden
So there is the answer.
The Bible says that it is Satan that is a liar and the father of lies.
In this story it is the Serpent that said you will not die you will be as Gods.
It was God that said you will die.
According to the Bible they did not die but became as Gods.
You can see for yourself, “man is become as one of us”.
Therefore it was the Serpent who was telling the truth and God who was lying.
Thus who is Satan?
So Mani is correct.
But the religious leaders of the time were totally against his teaching and they asked him who told him this about the Good Spiritual God and the Bad Physical God.
Mani replied that an angel told him.
They asked Mani, what was the Angels name ?
Mani said the angels name was, the twin
THE TWIN
According to biographical accounts , during his youth, Mani received a revelation from an angel whom he called the Twin, who taught him the divine truths of the religion
ManI was then executed by the religious leaders of the day, but he was the first to introduce us not only to this eye opening explanation of Genesis, but also to the concept of the twin.
ON TO
THE QUANTUM WORLD
The twin suddenly brings the strange angelic visitor into the realm of the life force as understood in quantum physics.
In the quantum world, two or more particles can share the same quantum existence, known as a wave function, giving particles that are joined at the hip in this way extraordinary properties.
Measuring one of these quantum twins instantaneously determines the quantum state of the other, even if they are on opposite sides of the universe.
In other words in this case these are absolute twins that share the same existence.
I ask you to consider that when you go to bed and dream.
It is you experiencing that but is it the same you that went to bed.
Could it be the other you in the parallel universe experiencing what you consider a dream.
We have discussed quantum teleportation in the past but it would be well just to look at it again for a few minutes in light of Mani saying back in 200AD that the angel who told him of the truth was called the twin.
TELEPORTATION is a Science Fiction staple.
People and objects are disintegrated, beamed across the universe in the blink of an eye, and reconstructed on a remote planet
The trouble is, fundamental physics has always said teleportation cannot possibly ever work.
Until recently, that is.
AN EXAMPLE
It's possible to prepare two particles – P and Q, say – in such a way that they're intimately related, like quantum twins.
Let's separate P and Q, and send them as far apart as we like. They're still both in the indeterminate state.
Now let's measure P, and say we discover it's in state 0.
Instantaneously, this means that particle Q, which may be light-years away on the other side of the universe, instantly assumes the opposite state – it's now definitely spinning as a 1.
Entanglement has been known theoretically for decades, but it's only recently been proven by experiment.
"Entanglement means if you tickle one the other one laughs", says Caltech physicist Jeff Kimble, one of the researchers to first demonstrate entanglement in the lab.
So then think about this.
If you put one to sleep does that wake the other one up and so what you are experiencing in a dream is a reality taking place in another universe.
BIBLICAL TWINS
Twins are spoken of in the Bible.
Jacob and Esau.
One was favored as doing what was right as the other was not and considered doing what was wrong. Is this speaking of the same person in quantum entanglement.
Quantum entanglement which is the twin at the other side of the universe interacting with the twin here, has been proven in atoms.
So what does science say about that.
QUANTUM PHYSICS SAYS
So you can teleport an atom, and people are made of atoms ... well, the answer to the obvious question is at best "who knows?"
You can already try quantum computation for yourself, by running a simulator on your PC. As for teleporting yourself across the universe, you might have to wait a little longer.
That report is from Toby Howard who is an instructor at the University of Manchester.
The bottom line here is the scientific reality of there being more then one of you living in a parallel universe. This is not science fiction but scientific reality.
I hold to the thought that the most evident event that occurs to all of us is during what we call a dream.
When the you here shuts down---- the you there activates.
DAVID DEUTSCH
I would like to introduce you to another scientist who is considered an expert in this field. His name is David Deutsch
DAVID DEUTSCH
Our "twins" in parallel universes are just as real as we are, says David Deutsch.
The notion that our world is somehow more real is derived not from experience (since each "world" seems equally real to its inhabitants), nor from quantum mechanics (in an absolute sense there are no splits at all, and no moment when your unseen counterparts can no longer affect you
Now this man is not crazy.
He is not radical, he’s a physicist and a quantum physicist which opens the curtain on an existence that none of us could even conceive exists but one which certainly can clarify Biblical references and our own obsession with spirits and angels etc.
Our twins in parallel universes.
Our existence not only in this physical reality but in another physical reality as well.
Sometimes when we feel the way we do we have a difficult time figuring out why. Everything seems to be going all right but still in spite of that we may feel down with no explanation. Listen to this from David Deutsch.
To the extent that your decisions depend on random events, there are indeed other, equally real, versions of you in other universes, who chose differently and are now enduring the consequences
Wow. Isn’t that interesting.
Another version of you and me in another real existence making a decision on something that has a negative effect.
Then the question would be.
Could that effect actually enter into our other psyche here. This opens up all kinds of possible solutions to the question of puzzling behavior doesn’t it.
DAVID DEUTSCH
Photons, atoms, and quantum computations have invisible, differently behaving counterparts, but you still cling to the belief that you exist in only one copy.
I don't think this makes sense, because you are made of atoms, and if they have invisible counterparts, so must you.
So here is the basis on which our multiple existence is based. It is based on the scientific fact that atoms have twins and since we are all made of atoms then so must we.
What quantum mechanics describes is not a single universe but something that "is constantly branching into different 'worlds,' in one of which I am speaking to you , in another of which I am speaking to someone else."
Reality consists of a multiverse, an enormous entity which, on a gross scale, has a structure that resembles many copies of the universe of classical physics, but which is, on a sufficiently fine scale, a single, unified system.
So here we enter the existence of a world order that is far and beyond our fantasy to conceive.
Our vibrations, our thoughts, our impulses, our electricity constantly branching into different worlds in which we operate as real as we are operating here.
SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING ELSE
In other words you are now at this very moment doing something somewhere else which is not related to what you are doing here.
But as the second paragraph says, in spite of the fact that there are many universes they are still a single unified system.
So then the condition can exist that though we do not know what we are currently doing elsewhere its effects on us can transcend that world into this world and vice versa because the system is really one.
DAVID DEUTSCH CONTINUES
Despite the fact that "quantum mechanics picks out no one of these 'worlds' or branches as special," people still want to believe that "these other 'worlds' do not exist in the way that this one does.
It surely follows that the thing that singles out our own branch as more real than all the others is nowhere to be found in quantum mechanics.
Nor is it, of course, anywhere to be found in our experience, since, "each one of these 'worlds' seems equally real to its inhabitants." So where is it to be found?
People can talk about heaven and hell as real places but when they are faced with the existence of parallel universes with not only real people living in them who are actually twins of themselves, they cannot deal with it.
Yet quantum physics shows that it is absolutely true.
In the second paragraph the question is asked as to where the reality of the parallel universes and people who are us may be found.
Since we experience absolute reality we cannot consider that the other reality exists though we actually also exist in that other reality and in that reality we cannot conceive that this reality exists.
So where do we look for an understanding of this reality.
DAVID DEUTSCH CONTINUES
It is found in (or rather, demanded by) philosophy - and in particular, I believe, by the sterile philosophy of positivism and related doctrines that have been impeding scientific progress for the last seventy-odd years.
Now let’s take a look at that word positivism because it comes out of the 19th century.
The theory that genuine knowledge is acquired by science and that metaphysical speculation has no validity.
METAPHYSICS
The branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.
So let us look once again at what Deutsch identifies as the problem with understanding the twin.
It is found in (or rather, demanded by) philosophy - and in particular, I believe, by the sterile philosophy of positivism and related doctrines that have been impeding scientific progress for the last seventy-odd years.
So Deutsch says that the reason we are ignorant about ourselves and the nature of life and understanding the invisible worlds is because of doctrines that refute the need to investigate the sub atomic.
Religious doctrines that say there is no way but their way.
They place everything in the sub atomic realm as belonging to religious principles and so there is never a way to understand the existence of other worlds or parallel universes.
It is the traditional way.
The problem with their approach to reality is that is once you go into the sub atomic world of quantum science is turned upside down.
The reality of science does not apply in the quantum or sub atomic world but that is where people actually exist.
You can read in the Bible about people that were supposedly dead suddenly showing up such as Moses etc.
There was a story in what is termed the transfiguration of Moses and others who had been physically dead thousands of years suddenly turning up in physical form.
THE TRANSFIGURATION
Matthew 17:1. And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart, 2. And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3. And, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Now of course this scene is mythology.
It did not actually happen, but could it be referring to the appearance of those from a parallel universe.
Giving the reality of quantum mechanics the death on this plane would simply reinforce the life on the other and what science would come in to play that would allow our twin from a parallel universe to appear here.
But as Deutsch said, as long as you have religion to say this is evil and all of that, then there is no possibility to understand the true nature of reality.
Could the appearance of Katie King to William Crookes be consistent with the appearance of Moses and Elias to Jesus and the rest in the Biblical story.
Why not ?
But you see people will believe with no doubt the Biblical story and yet castigate William Crookes as some kind of kook.
Let’s look at what is called the Paradox of Time Travel.
What if you found a portal to a parallel universe?
What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds where it's the same year and you're the same person, but everything else is different?
And what if you can't find your way home?
For the physicists, they know these questions all too well.
So here is the grandfather twin paradox.
A grandson travels back in time to kill his grandfather.
The grandson kills his grandfather before his grandfather has kids.
How could the grandson still exist if he kills his grandfather?
Now these questions are ridiculous to us who live in the everyday world of the 5 senses.
But to physicists such as David Deutsch and the others these are the questions that they ponder preparing for the day when people actually do travel to parallel universes.
As far as physicists are concerned it is not a matter of whether this will be possible but when.
So David Deutsch gives his comment to this question.
The grandson will continue to exist because he has not killed his grandfather, but another man from a parallel universe.
In quantum cosmology there is no single history of space, forming a single space-time, all universes history takes place simultaneously.
Duetsch has hypothesized that each universe does not have an effect on the other, they are all different.
This opens another factor in the quantum world.
Namely nature will not allow you to carry out an activity in one universe that will effect what happens in the other.
So that even though the grandson went to the other universe to kill his grandfather before he had any children, he could not do that since it would have an impacting effect on the original universe.
What David Deutsch does comment on that is quite interesting would be the ability of the grandson to return to this universe once he wishes to.
The journey back is not simple.
There is no guarantee that one may end up in the same universe they originated from.
But anyway what happened is that the grandson was trying to do something that universal law would not allow and wound up killing someone else.
Here is the comment from Deutsch.
It is clear, time travel can occur without creating troublesome paradoxes.
Therefore once time travel can be performed certain restrictions must be made.
People can not perform self-contradictory acts when they time travel
All of these things can do little but place our heads in a state of perpetual confusion.
But what we have been looking at are the thoughts of those who by experimenting in the laboratory know that what they speak of is not science fiction but reality.
Of course the only ones whom they can talk to about these things are each other.
That is what I have tried to present to you today.
But these strange comments on parallel universes etc have tremendous implications for us, our existence and our future as well as our understanding of spirit and the Bible as well as all religious convictions.
Nowhere will you find in so many words the existence of such things as we have discussed today but it would be up to you to look into this more deeply in which case you will come back with an understanding that you do exist in different universes and when one shuts down here what will be left will be the other you there.
I am sure you have many questions.
One that I had concerning the parallel universe is where the grandson went to the parallel universe to kill his grandfather could we go to a parallel universe to meet ourselves.
More to come.
