Realities splitting

So universes divide according to vibrational frequencies and the consciousness of each human being ... which is clearly crazy though makes some kind of sense in some philosophical systems and quantum physics too. Many Worlds Theories point toward such possibilities, some more probable than others. Consensual Reality is another form of craziness, though it surely helps to have a few simililarly crazy humans  to agree on the  form and practice we choose.

All of which thinking takes a while to process, of course, and re-reading this writing helps quite a lot, since the first Camino 7 years ago, walking mostly alone with my mind for company for long days of walking across Spain on the Way to Santiago de Compostela went very deep. On the Meseta, when 50k was easy enough in a day, the mind was full of speculation about Life and its meaning, and thinking slowed down as insight arrived from time to time, which helped settle the mind immeasurably, the goal of meditators all over the world, trying to use thinking to stop thinking, as if that could ever tame the ego self, the point of mediation pointing to one of the many realities available if the Many Worlds Theory of the Universe is right. All points to the individual mind, not separate from the whole of creation, being essential to bring consciousness into the equations. ..as proposed by Hugh Everett 3rd, a brilliant mathematics and physics student when he sat down with a friend to write equations all night until he found the elusive key to Einstein and all the others seeking to marry relativity with the quantum world of probabilities. The solution found, an infinity of parallel universes, worked theoretically but nobody took him seriously, so Wheeler his PhD supervisor persuaded him to dilute the essence and say Many Worlds as if that was acceptable.

Now, all this jiggery pokery occcured during the Cold War period, when the witch hunt was on for reds under beds back in the 1950s in The Land of the Free ... Hugh went to talk to Nils Bohr in Copenhagen, where the Copenhagen version of reality was basically: Shut up and calculate, since their probabilities could bring technological progress to the world, like nuclear bombs for example, and philosophical questions weren't required. David Bohm suffered from the repression in the USA, and his view of the holographic nature of reality still has its adherents ... all these characters are long dead now, but the Cosmic Hologram of Jude Currivan is right up there with other theories about Life and its meaning ....
,
And I if it appears incoherent what I'm proposing dear long suffering reader, then as you may know I have no qualifications in anything, so obviously this is all made up! Still, it keeps me amused, trying to work out the best way to live a contented Life. .. not long to now ... three score years plus  ten, plus one ...  and the clock is ticking ....
