The Me

Alternate Timelines, Versions of the Self, Fractal Self

Who Am I, and What is Me?

Something I have been musing about lately, off the back of reading some content on alternate realties, parallel timelines, and that sort of thing. In common, it is like when we say there is “work me” and then “real me”. Authenticity is something people value in others.

With respects to parallel timelines, something we have seen in some movies and in things to read. It suggests there is another “you” in another version of our world that is acting in a different way, in any given situation really. This seems very complex to me, from an energy level, fuel, capacity. It would stretch out into near infinity, because every bit if time, down to the micro - nano - levels would possibly be a different outcome. We see it in media, and it is like “well what if it’s only around major events.” and other attempts to rationalize the possibility of infinite parallel versions and outcomes of the self. A big date, meeting, happenstance.. and the outcome shifts the story of the character (you) entire outcome.

Perhaps yes, to save on resources you could build a system/reality that on key events it would shift, but that seems illogical because the individual personality defines what is a key event. What may change someone’s life forever may be an accident for another. Not in any malicious way or in a way to pull from the meaning of the individual who had their life changed.. but how do you create a ruleset that has that as an outcome while also involving other suggested free souls who may or may not share the same positioning to appreciate/consider or be effected by an event in a similar or meaningful way.

Further to that, so every interaction you have spins into an alternative outcome for “you”.. who to me at this point becomes your “character” in the ongoing reality. As I would feel “You” (and Me) are as above in the moment of now and moving forward through time/experience. If in an alternative reality, let us say I fell and broke my leg.. that would then create a whole new “me” who is no longer really “me” because the current “me” has not broken his leg. I am doing my best to articulate myself on this.

Now, there could be a fragmented “me” in play here.. so there is an “over-me” and all the “me’s” are out to experience reality from different perspectives.. but this seems very resource intense.

There is a saying, “I was under the influence, duress, etc. but that wasn’t me.” And I believe even the court systems have agreed in various ways that sometimes someone isn’t themselves.. and this becomes an excuse in a manner to explain away behaviors. I was this, and I did that - and I am not guilty of anything. In a way. A shedding of responsibility I see this - in a way.

My first thought here, given the above - utilizing the law of inversion..

If so much is said about fractal me.. I was this then, and this now, but this later. Or in another time, another life, another story.. this would be that.. This sort of sounds like fantasy - and an excuse. We all do it.

Then I would post the challenge, or suggest, that perhaps if you gathered up all your “Me”.. across anything, this and that.

If instead of the fractal, timeline, multi reality self.. you gave up all that potential of experience and consolidated it all into one fine point.

The spear tip of you, the Allyou.

What could that look like..

Collect all of yourself, and then to move forward advised by the past and with consideration to the future.

To walk the narrow path..



Something to think about further.
