SWEDENBORGIAN
HIS FATHER WAS A SWEDENBORGIAN
Need I say more? William James coined the term
multiverse Likely he needed a parallel reality to
the James house A mad sister Father heard voices
William too Perhaps bi-polar? or touched by the
Godhead this revered pioneer of the psyche
Later much later physicists hijacked the multiverse
+made it their own They posit a vast number of
parallel universes where we live out different versions
of our lives Every time you reach a crossroads two
daughter universes arise: 1 in which you turn right +1
in which you turn left
In each there is a copy of you living the outcome Thinking
incorrectly that it’s the only you It is also true that sometimes
these parallel lives are not out of reach Sometimes they slam
right into each other Take the days when deja vu is so strong
you cannot possibly belong to your own story
When you forget there is a husband #3 & husband #2 looks surprised
all the time It’s like he never really knew you existed One day you grow
a strange smell +laugh like a stranger When you speak your language
becomes oblique Paris France is heard as Aspen Colorado! Parallel worlds?
Or late middle-age when you no longer disrobe in the shower

Our universe is one of potentially numerous slabs floating in a higher
dimensional space, much like a slice of bread within a grander cosmic
loaf. Brian Greene Physicist The Hidden Reality 2011
