Hi Everyone,
David Brin mailed me the contact info for this mailing list group a few days back, and although I�ve no idea how this will connect with any past discussions, I thought I�d toss this little pebble in the pond;
I had a weird reality glitch reminiscent of the Matrix movie;
Last month I visited Westaff, a temp agency I used to work for, at 29th & Valmont where they had been for a decade. They had lost all my records during their computer upgrade, done 1 year ago. I would have to re-interview with them and fill out all new forms. I figured I'd wait until I got back (now) to do that. I went in there yesterday and they weren't there, there was instead a construction company in that suite. I called Westaff on the phone later to find out where they had moved and they said they had moved FIVE YEARS AGO!!! Then they said they had lost all my records in last year's computer upgrade and I'd have to reapply. Their new office is at 30th and Pearl. WHERE WAS I LAST MONTH? In a different universe?
Emmet Fox (a metaphysical writer) says external reality is just an appearance; a reflection of the REAL inner reality of consciousness. Am I observing reality change as my meditative inner work progresses? (that was my thought) Or is someone (angels, Suzanne suggested) reprogramming the "reality" matrix (Steve related it to the "Matrix" movies) behind the scenes?
There was a second glitch that appeared yesterday! I locked the two bicycles I brought here to the support bars of the backyard swingset. To protect the leather seats I tied a heavy duty plastic bag (from Performance bikeshop) over each seat. I've only been riding one of these bikes so far. I take off the bag and stuff it in a little pouch in my saddle bag, so I can reuse it that night. Thursday night I noticed the bag had a 2 inch tear in it which I figured had happened the previous (very windy Wednesday) night. I rotated the bag so the tear was underneath the seat and kept reusing it. Then last night (Friday) as evening came around I remembered to cover the seat before sunset. I took out the SAME BAG, and looked for the tear so I could again rotate the bag so the tear would be underneath. THERE WAS NO TEAR.
Emmet Fox says that reality only changes when consciousness changes. I am suspecting this as evidence that my consciousness work is actually having an effect on external reality. My working hypothesis is that each of us has a partially private "reality bubble" and that such glitches only affect a local area. That is that there is not a second ENTIRE UNIVERSE, only small part of the universe was affected by the appearance of the second reality, encompassed by the few people (or only me?) who were aware of the difference. I speculate that we distrust our memories and usually gloss over such glitches. This may be how God provides us each with our own karma, that there is some slack that allows our private reality bubbles to differ in minor details.
I refuse to consider the possibility that I�m just off my rocker, so my brain has gone to the more palatable considerations involving multiple universe theories. It bothers me to think that I generated an entire universe, and I prefer to believe that there was only a local bubble duplicating a small section of the universe. I have a very accurate memory and refuse to doubt my perceptions. Today I�m going back to the suite where the construction company is to ask if they know anything about the prior tenants.
So, what do you think? Local bubble? Another universe? Matrix glitch?
