Another Earth

 

 What if there was a parallel universe—a Milky Way mirroring our very own beyond a black hole. What if there was another Earth, exactly synchronized with our own: the same cities, the same environmental catastrophes, the same people. What if there was another YOU in that parallel universe. 

If you had the chance to have a conversation with your parallel self, what would you ask? What would you ask your‘self’ and what sorts of observations would you make? 

In reality we do this everyday—a constant chatter going on in our brains.

“Did I say that right? Don’t forget to water the aloe: Am I fat? I wonder if he’s angry with me.”

The incessant conversation—and what if our instinctual replies are in fact a telepathic tennis game with the parallel self? What if your mind is connected through the reciprocal fabric of the cosmos and the everyday cognitive script is truly your parallel self-replying. So when one question comes up, the other responds and divine inspiration, déjàvu, and intuition are all an illusion of the feedback from the other self’s experience. Without one another, your lives would be incomplete.

 Your parallel self is the unconscious, the divine sensation we all bathe in from time to time—that there is something beyond this beautiful life, a spiritual energy, like Xhosa beadwork, weaving us all together. Fate, destiny, time, are all projections of the parallel universe--for with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is how I will come to think of relationships—embedded and intertwined are the energies, despite distance and time. We can feel one anothers’ presence affecting lifespace through the divine parallel tapestry of life.
