NEW MEDIA: Parallel Space

There have been theories that other life, other times are occurring around us, occupying the same space. Parallel stories, spirits, time warp; past, present and future all happening simultaneously.

This is what’s been bothering me lately.

The woulda’s, coulda’s, shoulda’s of different paths we take in life may be going on as well. I watched the first half of the movie, “Sliding Doors” the other night, and am very anxious to get a hold of it again to see the rest. It’s got a very simple story line—or perhaps I should say, two—of a woman whose life splits off in two directions in an instant, and beautifully follows each as she continues living both lives simultaneously. It’s the great question of “what if?” and it’s something we’ve all considered at some point in our lives, whether on a small scale based on an event (what if I’d left the house one second sooner and ended up a part of that traffic accident on I-84?) to full-future vision (what if I’d said yes and married that guy?)

Somehow, all these odd thoughts are coming together at once. Since I tend towards a belief in an “afterlife,” reincarnation is a feasible possibility in my theory. But…

What if it’s not a case of “after,” but instead is happening right now? Eternity is an immeasurable quantity, meaning time does not exist within its realm. Some people believe in a co-existing “spirit” world—ghosts. I never did, but we can’t discount it totally. After all, someone thought of the idea. Primitive man understood death; so who was the first brave soul that claimed he saw someone who had died? Why would he even conceive of that notion?

So, giving it just a grain of consideration as a possibility that “something” is there, what if it’s just us running into ourselves? What if…?
