Possible Worlds
Possible Worlds is a theory professed by some modern philosophers. The basic idea is that all worlds that can possibly, or logically, exist actually do exist. One of the better known proponents of possible worlds theory is David Lewis, the founder of modal realism. This fundamental idea has been put forth by many others outside the walls of academia. Quantum physicists, for example, have a theory of the multiverse, which involves parallel dimensions. The channeler Jane Roberts wrote a series of books in the 1970s where Seth, allegedly a higher dimensional being, describes a similar concept, probable worlds (and probable selves). Along with a complicated but fascinating view on reincarnation, the Seth material claims that we are multidimensional beings with an infinite number of choices every moment. One of our probable selves lives out all of these choices. Still another perspective can be found in science fiction writers such as Philip K. Dick, who explore the idea of alternate timelines or histories. Many science fiction novels and films consider the idea of time travel, and ask the question of whether past events can be changed. Are ideas such as possible or probable worlds or timelines practical in any way? I like to think they are. As the Seth books, and later channeled material such as the Abraham books by Esther and Jerry Hicks, explain, reality is created from our thoughts, emotions and intentions. So the real challenge regarding possible worlds is to decide what world you want to create and then place your intention on making it real. Possible Worlds
