Groundhog Day and Parallel Lives

Rana, I liked your last comments, very wise…. And yes, the movie ‘Groundhog Day’ gives us reason to ponder… What if we are playing the same life time over and over and over again making only subtle changes? We like to believe in past lives, that’s all very interesting and appealing…. But what if, like in the movie Groundhog Day, we are actually reliving the SAME lifetime over a thousand times? Readers, if you have not seen the movie Groundhog Day… check it out, it’s very interesting.

We have all had those experiences of Deja Vu, maybe that is because we actually have been in the exact situation before, thousands of times. Perhaps the Deja Vu is a flash reminder that you have done this situation WAY TOO MANY times in the exact same way and it is time to play it out differently.

The theory of parallel lives says that for every decision you make another part of you made the opposite decision to see how it would play out and at this very moment you are playing out thousands of variables at the same time. We only consciously experience the awareness of one at a time for simplicity. But if we wanted to, we could expand our minds to tap into what our other parts are doing. Perhaps we glimpse some of this when we are dreaming?

So, when you decide to marry Bob and have a family, at that moment another aspect of you said no to Bob and pursued a wonderful career. The larger you, or oversoul is playing out all options to see what it likes. But your consciousness remains here with this decision and plays it out.

But, either pathway may be repeated, over and over, until you find your happiness or joy. For our happiness and joy has nothing to do with whether we marry Bob or not. The externals are just interesting stimulus; the pathway home is about finding our peace and joy. What if you are going to be you for another hundred lifetimes?
