My research into the multiplicities of Time has been fascinating and also somewhat disturbing. If we accept the theory of multiple Universes wherein all potentialities exist as realities, where is there room for Spirituality?
What I'm questioning now is this: if people exist in an array of universes which sometimes slip into one another which we interpret as ghosts or spirits, do we have any control over restoring the separation? Are there really exorcisms or Verdun practises to rid us of unwanted beings cohabitating with us, if you will, that seem to do us harm? Are the beings we call angels really our other selves guiding us to better choices? Are prayer and mediation the means to connect with these other lives of ours and to bring the best experiences and outcomes into this reality?
Certainly Charles Dickens had some knowledge of this when he wrote 'A Christmas Carol.' Universal forces conjoined to allow him to relive choices he made in the Past and Present and to view the results of those choices in the Future. He thereby learned how to adjust the 'Now' to change the course of his Future. However, when his spirits had completed their mission, they left him.
Now my challenge is to connect what I have learned through my exposure to the theories of quantum physics with my spiritual beliefs. I will chart this journey in my next novel 'Jokers and One-Eyed Jacks.' When these worlds slip into each other, we feel either haunted or inspired. We have always thought we had the means through religious and spiritual practices, incantations and chants, spells and potions to either protect or open ourselves to these other dimensions. Have we been living a lie? Once again, science and religion or spiritual belief clash. Or do they?
