To state that a probability exists, but not in the same way as what does exist is the point of observation creating reality. But it does not negate the existence of a probability just because you cannot observe it, just as you know something is behind you, but you can't see it until you look. You might argue "but I can look beind me and see what's there, unlike probabilities", but I would argue that's because all the things you see are in the same probability that exists in reality, but other probable existences does exist but outside of our observational capabilities. This is the premise of String Theory, which I'm not sure if I complete agree with its description, but the premise that probabilities exist as other "strings" means just because you can't see it or find it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist outside of your current reality.<br /><br />The rest of your comment is, again, stemming from the point of view from the body and your consciousness at this point in time and within this reality. If your body and this reality is the only thing you accept as real, then nothing else outside of this reality is possible to you. As you state, "outside of our understanding..." is the real issue. We do not understand everything even within our universe, how can you know what exists outside or even within the self? We only know what's on this planet, and what little we've learned over time about this reality. Our own potential has not even been examined thoroughly, whether due to fear, dogmas, ego, or indifference. So to state boldly something as being impossible should make you pause about what you know to be able to make such claims.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630412588545081942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159346450125574362.post-75711322134674177922012-06-13T10:00:53.056-07:002012-06-13T10:00:53.056-07:00Just as a quick point, although quantum states can...Just as a quick point, although quantum states can exist as a probability of possible states does not mean that everything does exist like that. Quantum states break down into reality. Furthermore, why would you think that you have anymore control over a quantum state than a dog does. You cannot attain a higher level of existence by simply wanting to.<br /><br />There may well be a world beyond our world, outside of our understanding of the universe, or God may exist in our universe in a way we don't understand, but you have no direct control over your quantum states and you will not find God by searching there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
