Parallel Timelines (Page 1 of 5)

I fully think that experiencing parallel timelines is possible. 

I have a few examples which are much more mundane, but may be related.  It has to do with experiencing something as a child and then experiencing the same or a similar thing as an adult.  When I am having the experience as an adult, I am experiencing the adult experience directly with an overlay of my childhood memory.

For example, when I was about 6 years old, I went to DisneyWorld and went on the Haunted House ride.  This was a very vivid experience for me.  Then when I was an adult I went back and did the Haunted House ride again.  As an adult, it was particularly intense because I was experiencing the scenes directly and also experiencing my childhood memories at the same time.

A similar thing happened recently when I saw the movie Wizard of Oz as an adult and remembered seeing as a child as well.

I think that this effect is strongest for me with vivid childhood memories.  Its not nearly as strong an effect, for example, when I see a movie as an adult, and then see the same movie again as an adult.

Hi Sedna and all,

That's so true.   That's why those of us that do manage to get past our school training / brain washing / conditioning and glimpse a little more about reality are very fortunate.  It really is a wonder that we can do it at all, considering how desparately they try to pound stuff out of us and pull the wool over our eyes.     

Yeah, New York is apaprantly a major major timeline for me as well.   Another theory I've considered regarding my New York connection is that almost all of my family originates from there, on both sides.   Both my parents grew up in NYC, (Brooklyn and Manhatten) and their grandparents / relatives were all immigrants who came in via Ellis Island then settled in the big melting pot.   So in that case, it's like something to do with "cellular memory", or accessing my ancestors memories and experiences.   But that doesn't change the fact that I've seen myself doing stuff in a New York timeline.   So cellular memory and accessing ancestor experiences can't fully explain everything.

On a sidenote, I have to add this:   In 6th grade we took a class trip to NYC (from CT).   The major place on our agenda to visit was.........the World Trade Center.   I was able to be in the WTC, the top observation deck, AND the roof.   It was just too cool, and I still have my photos.   Thing is though, after that I became obsessed with the WTC anytime my family went to NYC after that, I was obsessed with the idea of them falling.   In my mind, I saw them falling over though, not "imploding" and falling downwards like they did Las Vegas Casino TNT style.   But still, I was obsessed with the idea of them falling, and my obsession stemmed from an eery, ominous feeling I got from looking at them.  So I'd always snap photos of them or collected up postcards that had the towers in the photo, and just stare at them in fascination.    Guess I was picking up on something that was yet to come.  (and just to add:  I've been to the Sears Tower as well, to the top observation deck, got the photos, etc., but never had any sort of feeling about it.   Absolutely nothing, just bland neutrality, no emotional interest.)

But this leads me to the idea of just how inevitable was it that 9/11 was going to happen?    After it happened, I walked around for the next 2 weeks feeling surreal, like it "wasn't supposed to happen",  that this was NOT how things were supposed to go, and yet, as a kid I had some weird ominous feeling about the Towers, and was obsessed with them falling.    Makes me wonder then.......did 9/11 happen "across the board" on every timeline?   Or only on certain ones?   

hmmmmmm..............

WOW!  Your posts nearly floored me!  Especially this from Sedna--

All of the posts have brought back memories of myself a few years ago trying to figure out the timeline of my youth because some dates and places were not adding up!  I still cannot figure it out.  I even sat down with my mother with the dates of when we lived where written out in a list , we moved a lot because my father was in the military, and there were a few glaring overlaps.  My poor mother got so frustrated with confusion because she could no better explain it than could I and we had to stop talking about as much.  I had hoped I was just making a mistake with the dates, but I hadn't. Blow my freaking mind!

The strangest thing of all along this line is, with my mother involved again--

My mother was visiting me and a friend was over who commented to my mom how pretty my given name is complimenting her on her choice.  I sat there and explained the name was my fathers idea (my mom wanted to name me Annette) and that I was named after a French Nun my father met when he was on a Navy tour of duty in France.  My mother sat there and asked me where I got such a notion!  I told her my father told me.  She told me she had never heard of such a thing!  And I told her I remembered CLEARLY as a child him telling me this story.  This still makes me to shake my head, she had told me they argued about what to name me and "as usual your father won". 

I don't know, but don't you guys think if they were arguing about it my father would also tell her the story? 

Or was it even this timeline father who told me as much?

Shakin', shakin', shakin' m'head.... LOL!  Sounds like the probable chorus line of a song entitled "The Parallel Timeline Boogie". Hehehe...kinda brings a new meaning to head-bangin' doesn't it? ROTFLMAO!

And yes, I would ask my father about this but our relationship has been fractured for years and years and there is no communication... ahem, I have been disowned, as well has been my baby brother. Alas, guilt and alcohol make for really ineffectual tools of discernment.  I find this to be incredibly sad for my father.

No kidding Sisterella! No kidding!

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

If you spin around on your chair really fast, things around here will make a lot more sense.

It is comforting to know there are others, and I never get tired of re-affirming this, because, most likely, MCS never tires of reinforcing the patently wrong deterministic world view. We are indeed fortunate and blessed to have reached even this state of wakefullness. We are not "kwazy", Auendove! I know you know this, but sometimes even when staring our strange reality in the face I have needed someone to "tell" me this....Well, several times in one! Heh Heh.

9-11 and the towers falling, Lyra, had the feel for me of a multi-dimensional disaster.
It had such an engineered feeling, just as do the fallout measures being taken right now in this very city for the so called "convention" ahead. Yes, it's more like a convention of interdimensionals with their symbolic dastardly deeds proceeding swimmingly as they check off their to-do list point by point. No doubt you picked up on this in your wierd sensations regarding the towers. I can see them falling as you said in one dimension, exploding in another, being bombed visibly in another, attacked by hordes of jets, hornet like, in another, and so on and so forth...whatever the physical means, the absolutely willful intent to make sure this happened, by hook or by crook, oozes forth from some
interdimensional erie of evil.

That event and the chain reaction that has followed is no doubt the linch pin manipulation of our timelines and no doubt reverberated to past and future events in our lives. Particularly as we are ones who are hep to this and a threat to the system.
They've got to get our heads swimming, and ourselves and the world thinking we are nuts, if they can!

I used to watch it.

This summer will probably be the last time I ever "waste time on the glass teat".

Good riddence.

I should own up here. The "glass teat" phrase was stolen from the inimitable Harlan Ellison. Please don't tell him, as he's a pretty tough little guy. As to TV, there is occasional value to be found. If every set had been manufactured with "For Entertainment Purposes Only" emblazoned above the picture tube, TV might not have become the holy trinitron that sheeple worship (and sacrifice their children to)

manyeagles, I remember OSB quite well. A bit creepier than Twilight Zone (cheesier production, as I recall). The Night Visions series of a few years ago with Henry Rollins was an homage, I believe. I think I can remember the episode you mention. From the showings I've seen, the video record of OSB seems like kinescope, not well suited to the hi-res era. Sliders just ran out of good ideas, I guess. It's currently being rerun on the scifi channel, and more than likely available on dvd.
