The Plan

I’ve been thinking. There cannot even be a plan, at least not a singular one.

I have been preparing a piece on consciousness, and that will explain some of this thought process. but bear with me. I need to get this out.

We are going to assume that any deity – God, Allah, The Moon Goddess, Vishnu, Spirit, Zeus, whomever – they are all human made representations of the grand consciousness that unites everything in the universe. Furthermore, we are going to assume – in a quantum field type perspective – that all possibilities for your life exist, but your observations of this particular version are what cause the field to collapse, and you living the life you have. So, in this thought process, your observation – your perspective, if you will – determines the life that you experience.

Now, in many religions, it is believed that the deity of choice has a plan, a way that things are supposed to happen. But, if we assume the quantum field perspective, that doesn’t make sense. There can be no concrete plan if literally anything is possible.

I am reminded of an episode of Star Trek: TNG where there was some sort of wormhole or tear in space or singularity that was pulling Enterprises from alternate dimensions/universes and popping them all in the same area of space and time, and they could speak to each other and see how life could be very, very different. I believe one of the ships actually exploded after being “relocated”.

This is similar, albeit in a more subtle, elegant, quantum insanity kind of way. All of the possibilities for your life exist in the quantum field – you could be a rockstar, you could be a janitor, you could be a world-renowned artist, you could be a drug addict, or anything and everything in between or outside of that range. You only experience one of those possibilities. But what if it were possible to move between those possibilities? I’m not necessarily saying that we change realities like we change socks (and boy, would that be a trip!), but what if, through enough energy transfer, a person was able to shift themselves into a different possibility? To leave the old set of possibilities behind because they had surpassed the maximum energy level that that one possibility could handle/tolerate? Because, if I remember correctly, there is a maximum energy that photons can hold, so the same could be said about other subatomic structures, or even molecules, right?

And what if the plan changes with your actions? The plan is to get you from birth to death, but the how depends mostly on your free will. So, if you make a particular choice, change the energy levels involved, you bump yourself up or down to a different set of possibilities.

This idea is intriguing and fascinating. I have to explore this more, but I needed to get these thoughts out.
