You answered your own question. It is a matter of intent. Everything in life is a matter of intent. In addition, imagine that the multiverse is a book. When you finish reading the first page and flip to the next, the first page becomes per your perception the past. But the first page still exists, it does not disappear the moment you flip to the next page. If you are to flip back to the first page, it will become your present. It's just a matter of focus what you will perceive as present. Now, as characters in the physical type of worlds this is not easily achievable for a reason, but through AP and intent you can. The thrill doing it that way is that you retain the accumulated knowledge and experience the "past" with a different point of view, far more exciting.

Thanks for your responses LightBeam and others.

So if my lifespan is a 100 page book, I can through AP and intent go back to pages 30-40 or any pages I choose or intend to read/visit?

Would the Monroe Gateway Hemi-Sync tapes facilitate this? I have cassettes which I purchased in 1994 before the 3 letter agencies neutered them. Converting them to FLAC has been a nightmare as some break and can take up to 4 hours to fix.

You can relive anything from your life in the astral. I have relived some dear memories from my childhood and it was so amazing experiencing these past events, but with my current knowledge. There is nothing like it. A lot more enjoyable, because you realize that nothing is ever lost. It's a matter of focus. There is no really past or future, you experience whatever and wherever you focus to in the now. But for negative events, I wouldn't suggest going back to them, unless you wish to extract some knowledge, or understand why did they happen. Whether you will have fear or not depends entirely on you.

Hi LightBeam. How can one do this? How can you relive the past? Is it only a matter of intention, focused intent?

Has anyone read Is There Life After Death (2006) by British author Anthony Peake? It is a very hard, but extremely interesting read and would be helped greatly by a TOC and index. However, it is a must read by all people interested in this genre, absolutely and unequivocally.

In this book, Peake attempts to update the ideas of J.W. Dunne in the light of the latest theories of quantum physics, neurology and consciousness studies.

The basic premise is that nearing the point of death, you actually never die and the brain gushes with glutamate, as it did once before, during birth, and you re-live your current life again in a virtual reality generated by the brain (or something else) – a Groundhog Day existence, so to speak. This is due to the fact that time dilates and you literally enter a time-less state or at least a state where time is near endless. This is alluded to by the way your perception of time changes dramatically throughout your life for one reason or another – dreaming, playing, getting bored, endangered, excited, sad and so on. Dropping out of time is what Peake calls it.

Come the near time of your virtual reality death, the process is repeated, ad infinitum so it seems. The doctrine is called Recurrence and it seems the ancient Greeks and others alluded to it, so we find Peake uses Greek terminology for some of his concepts.

Peake uses the fact that time is not constant as well as the NDE, deja-vu, epilepsy and a host of neurological diseases to convince you to believe Recurrence. He does this quite well, but as with anything, the judgement is up to you. In fact, I found that some of the arguments materialists use to bludgeon a random and meaningless existence where they are the final arbiters of truth and the high priests of knowledge and wisdom, Peake uses to good effect in proving his point.

He uses quantum physics theory and its interpretation to convince us that the virtual life and all those thereafter are not exactly the same, as you have the freedom to choose and thus enter a different parallel universe with each choice you make.

Deja-vu is a glitch in the system, when you actually remember the previous Recurrence of your virtual life.

NDE is more or less another glitch in the system where your next Recurrence is prematurely triggered and you come back and call it a "Life Review". You're actually alive and the next virtual life, starts running.

Prophecy alludes to Recurrence too, according to Peake and his argument here is that prophets like Nostradamus, are exceptionally good at predicting future events within the time span of their lives, but hopeless once past their date of death. That's because they're somehow remembering their previous recurrence and can't gather information outside their existence. Get a young prophet is the message here as they should be able to see more years into the future, their future.

It is a must read by all people interested in this genre and especially all that lounge in such boards as this where we could discuss it for a while.

Don't be fooled, while the title is quite banal, the book reeks of freshness and originality.

In fact it's the first non-study book, I'm going to read again and take notes, so that I can remember the concepts.

Well, both quantum mechanics and theory of relativity support the existence of parallel universes. The PU theory actually makes believing in paranormal phenomena a bit more plausible and closer to mainstream science and it does the same for alien abductions which are very probably not from this physical universe but a parallel one.

You've heard of the saying, "you create your own reality". Well the PU theory makes it simpler to believe, because the creation of the realities of so many of us would conflict with each other at some point. It would make this saying very silly. Not so if what we really do is create our reality in different PUs.

As for the other selfs in the multiverses, they have a consciousness of their own which is probably united to all of the selfs by a greater sub-conscious. If I were to go back and posses myself in a PU of 30 years ago, say, my consciousness would merge with myself in the PU. Didn't Robert Bruce and others ask, "how do you know the decisions or the self-talk in your head is really yours?". Hinting at the possibility of possession.

Did you ever wonder how you receive warnings about events in the "future" that turn around and actually happen? Did you ever receive information in your dreams where the answers to a problem you were trying to solve were given to you in complete detail? Such things can be explained by parallel lives, and PUs.

The parallel "you" does communicate with you in the life you live here and now as all is simultaneous in the universal realm, where it is always "now". Even this eternal "now" theory hints that the me of the past, present and future exists in a timelessness and therefore, theoretically, able to be accessed. The only way I can think of accessing it is via OOBE.

I also recall Robert Monroe's OOBEs and his visits to PUs.

I believe that's a common theory of parallel worlds. Putting it very simply, I'm driving to work and there are 2 ways to get there, I decide 1 way and then the other, I choose one way and I'm aware of the one, but at that moment of choosing, I have created a parallel world where I am taking the alternate route. This goes on and on with every decision we make and it's tied into quantum physics. At least, that's my layman's understanding of what I've read. It also explains why we can't really foretell the future too well as it's a probable future and we really don't know what future parallel worlds we're looking into. We may look into the one where I've taken route 1 and got killed in a traffic accident or route 2 where I go safely to work.

I think another way of understanding parallel worlds is the theory that some have come up with that everything that can ever happen is happening in a timeless now and time is just a constraint on us in this physical reality. In this view, ourselves of 1975, of 1995 and so on ad nauseaum are still existing and happening. So I want to add the next dimension to it by accessing these parallel universes which are populated by ourselves of the past. The OOBE seems the best (and only way) to get to them at this stage.

Gregg Braden writes a bit about it in http://www.greggbraden.com/articles.php3
THE ISAIAH EFFECT

In 1957 a physicist at Princeton, Hugh Everett, III, suggested that for every moment of our lives there are many, many moments, possibilities and outcomes playing out simultaneously and present for every choice in our lives. They are all happening at the same time, though we are not necessarily aware of them. He called these parallel possibilities. Science fiction immediately adopted these ideas, and like so many others, it has not been proved to be a science fact.

In Braden's interpretation of the Isaiah Scroll, when we focus on one of those possibilities out of the many, this becomes our reality. What this implies is that for every moment of catastrophe the prophets see in our future, while they may well be possible consequences of the choices we are making in our lives right now, there are other outcomes just as possible.

Isaiah is very clear when he says that it is just as possible that we are about to enter a time of unprecedented cooperation between nations, and that war will not even be in our vocabulary. The mystery among the scholars has been how could these prophets speaking thousands of years ago see such different possibilities for the same moment in history?

"What I believe, and am calling the Isaiah Effect, is that the ancient prophets were actually adept masters at slipping between those parallel realities. And, they were giving insight to us in this generation as to what they saw as the possibilities in the only words that they had 2500 years ago. They took it one step further and gave us the science of how to determine which of those possibilities played out in our lives. Every time we make the choices that allow us to move into those new possibilities, we experience the Isaiah Effect."

Parallel Universes:  The Search for Other Worlds
By Fred Alan Wolf
Simon & Shuster 1988 $19.95
No Review Available
Tattered Cover     Paperback

An attempt to make sense of both quantum physics and general relativity
makes for a new  vision of reality which is parallel universe theory, the
theme of this book by the physicist, Fred  Allen Wolf, who won the
American Book Award for    Taking the Quantum Leap   .  After  
introducing the reader to Schrodinger's cat, Wigner's friend and the EPR
paradox, the author   illustrates the possibilities of quantum physics that
give credence to many themes in  contemporary science fiction.  Wolf
further postulates that black holes and lucid dreaming are  actually
gateways between universes and that time is not definite as we know it now
but  instead fluid so that the future can act upon the past and other pasts are
"out there" waiting  to be discovered.  Wolf sees time existing in a
hologram of parallel universes where one's  viewpoint alters the hologram
and assigns the hologram with probabilities.  Nice features of  this book
include a glossary of terms, notes, bibliography and an index.  Although
parallel  universe theory is not the unifying theory of everything that
Einstein and scientists today seek,  the ideas here are intriguing.  This book
is written for anyone who wants to know more about  physics and the new
paradigm.

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between
past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein

Hi all, this is my first post and I would like to ask a question. Perhaps I should outline my OOBE experiences first. I read the Robert Monroe trilogy of books in the mid 1990s and I bought The Gateway for home tapes. During tape 3 or 4, maybe 5, I got the body (or soul?) vibrations and started to go down and I suppose out of my body, however this scared the living daylights out of me and I haven't been back since. I though I was supposed to go up and out?

Anyway after all those years I have managed to get the courage to try again and my question is this, assuming that there are parallel universes where all your choices are played out and are seemingly timeless, is it possible for me to visit these parallel universes and somehow relive my life again by somehow "possessing" my own body in a parallel universe of, say 1975? I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject of OOBEs and parallel universes and so on and I think it could be possible. Of course it won't be the exact same life as the one I've had for the past 30 years as the choices you make in this other universe will create yet another string of parallel universes. So you can't go back and clean up at the race track or stock market as it is not written in stone.

The idea intrigues me and is beginning to intrigue me even more as I discuss it with close friends, all of which, but one, believe it is impossible. I think if I could manage this, I would really have a great grasp on the nature of reality.
