Got a few strange ideas to run by you, just for the heck (conversation) of it...

This is gonna get contorted but try to stick with me. Do you ever wonder if what we are experiencing now is the resulting afterlife of what we foresaw/imagined before? Cryptic, I know, but let me try to explain. 

Before, when we wondered if there was some sort of afterlife, but had no clue as to what it would be like (if it indeed existed), we may have imagined an afterlife via some sort of (e.g.,) religious writings (like we do in this, our now). But that maybe, with this now, we are actually now in it, that previous life’s suspected afterlife. Yeah, the more I try to explain, the deeper I dig, and probably the more I’m confusing you. Bottom line (to summarize): Is the current now the afterlife we imagined before?

Think about comparing what I said to the “infinity mirrors” phenomenon. Always another “next” image, as we (possibly) iterate through infinite time. 

Like this.

Which begs a related question: Do you ever wonder if you have “always been alive?”  Meaning, like that errant electron, we came/popped into existence at some point in (so called) "time" and, even though we experience death, we, like the infinitely mirror, just move on to the next (let’s call it) frame of the movie film?

Or, think about this. Maybe you are alive in many states of existence all at the same time (like Kaku talked about with the quantum computing process). IOW, we are constantly in a superposition state, and once the wave function collapses into a reality, we then actually experience/“realize” a particular moment in time.  So again, to try to summarize: We exist in infinite possibilities all at the same time, where any one realized moment in time is a result of the collapsed wave function.  I mean, we are made of those same particles that create the rest of our reality. 

I know this probably sounds like eastern type philosophy or the reincarnation thing. But these strange ideas occur to me at times. It’s like I can “ESP sense” them in some sort of “once removed” way. Like they are happening in a parallel universe kind of way. 

Q1: Why couldn’t these things be possible? 

You may say, but we know how these things (in particular hard reality) work, through logic and experience.  But don’t you see, logic and experience are irrelevant when it comes to these things. Our current (small slice of) reality works on its own unique set of (let’s call them) standards and rules. We can claim X to be true only because we are operating in a limited environment; the only one we have to compare/reference to.

Only our resident brainiacs (you know who you are) and/or like thinkers need respond. Otherwise just ignore me. Just typing out loud in my (let's call it) unorthodox way. 🤷‍♀️

Q2: Does anyone else here like talking and thinking about these things?  Or, as I often suspect, it’s basically just me? More 🤷‍♀️.
