////////////////////This being human is a guesthouse.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Rumi

////////////////////........Leonard Susskind , who has been arguing for a decade that you don’t need to count all the parallel universes, just those that are capable of affecting you.



/////////////////..........parallel universes was ill-starred to begin with, cosmologists have good cause to think our universe is just one member of a big dysfunctional family.



/////////////////In a simplified case, if you start with a single universe, by the Nth generation, you have 2N of them.



//////////////////If there are other universes – we’ll never know it. The void between the universes has no physical laws (if its a real void) therefore we could not travel from one universe to another even if it was only a foot away. We only exist because of the physical laws of nature. With no laws to guide us across the void it would be impossible to travel across it or to have anything to exist within the void. http://novan.com/universe.htm

////////////////CANNOT JUST LV IN THE PRESENT=Why aren't our thoughts independent of each other? Why don't we just live in the moment? For a healthy person, it's impossible to live in the moment. It's a nice thing to say in terms of seizing the day and enjoying life, but our inner lives and experiences are much richer than that."


////////////////NASTRBN=create fantasy scenes in our heads as "an evolutionary magic trick." He writes:

It requires a cognitive capacity called mental representation (an internal “re-presentation” of a previously experienced image or some other sensory input) that many evolutionary theorists believe is a relatively recent hominid innovation. When it comes to sex, we put this capacity to very good--or at least frequent--use.
