This is a thought that I have had for a long time. That the "whole universe" includes all possibilities and all timelines possible.
Consider the following type of arrangement:
Now, the marble drops down and hits different nails as it rolls downward, and changes direction each time. In the end, it can only end up in one of 5 different positions.
Consider the universe as the entire board, nails, marble and pathways.
Consider the nails as being points of possible changes, the marble as being the energy and matter that makes up the universe, and the pathways as being different possible timelines.
Is it possible that the entire universe is already "pre-made" in a sense, as the board is?
Is it possible that as we make different choices in our lives, then our consciousness just goes down that particular timeline that is already available "through the maze of all possibilities"?
Is "time" just the dimension along the length of the entire "pre-made" universe?
Would it be possible to move "sideways" instead of just "down" within that pre-existing maze, and move to another timeline?
If the matter and energy that makes us up already exists in all possible timelines since our birth, how do we move our "consciousness" to those other timelines?
Is it possible to move our consciousness to pre-existing timelines before our birth or long after our death?
Interesting food for thought.
