Every decision we make in our own lives creates an alternate universe in which we go through with the decisions we don't take, thus creating an endless stream of alternate timelines and outcomes. At some point all of our own individual universes and realities converge and overlap, making up a singular whole. The collective unconcscious, we are all God, and we are all the imaginations of ourselves. Or something.

I just thought it was a catchy thread title. quote: Are the alternate timelines and outcomes we never explore real? Can they still exist without our being? Is reality our creation, or do we exist because of it? The alternate timelines and outcomes are real, and we exist in each of those. If I face a decision to go to McDonalds or go to Burger King, and I choose McDonalds, another reality is created in which alternate me goes and gets a Whopper. The the two mes exist simultaneously, having made my decisions, and so on and so forth. If the me that goes to McDonalds gets food poisoning and dies, then that is the end of me in that universe. But the others go on, and all the people (i.e. you) that I'm imagining into existence continue on in all my other realities as well, just as I exist in your realities, a product of your imagination. We create these realities to a point, but also only exist because of them. We can only control one point in these realities, and that is the self-image. Our direct interactions with others in these self-made realities ripple into theirs, and effect them to a point, but we cannot control what it does to others. But again, whatever decision we make creates more realities in which other outcomes are explored. Maybe.
