castaneda also mentioned the eagle..Existence itself is indeed the ultimate mystery. Along the same lines, I find it interesting that according to Theun Mares, Toltec seers saw that the "Eagle" (Source of all Creation) is not alone and that there seem to be many other Creators other than ours:
thank you for having picked these extracts from the sessions.Another cosmological question that fascinates me are the "parallel dimensions" or "multiple realities", meaning universes that are similar to ours and that maybe branched off in a different direction at some point. Apparently there can also be different versions of ourselves in these parallel realities.
1) If parallel realities branch off our reality, how often does this branching happen? Some sources suggest that branching happens only at significant choice points (eg. marrying or not marrying someone), while other theories say that parallel universes are created trillions of times every second.
2) Is there one "main reality" or primary universe or are all these parallel universes with alternate versions of ourselves equally real?
3) Do we and our "parallel selves" have the same soul or Higher Self, or are those different in each parallel universe?
The C's have indicated that parallel universes do exist and this is what I found on this topic in the transcripts:

I think the closest thing we have is this:Has anyone ever thought about or wrote out a short descriptive history of our planet and species as per the Cs cosmology?
My guesses: that it's a very long process that from a 3D perspective would be the the life cycle of the observable universe. As for 3D emptying into 4D, maybe in billions more years, it won't look the same, and there will be fewer and fewer "3D planets" and beings, like a slow and progressive "emptying".That brought up an associated thought. The Cs said that everyone reached 7D at the same 'time'. But I was wondering how that can happen in the context of a cycle where there are always new beings 'moving up' into densities. It's not like 3D empties when all go to 4D and so on, so how might that work? Also, how long does that process of all ending up in 7D take?
That's kinda how I picture it. Except I don't follow why the planet/universe might be less than billions of years old. I'd guess the universe is "endless" and however long it's been since the big bang is just our current cosmic epoch. Planet itself might be how old scientists think it is (or more or less if their methods are off).Also, how old is our planet/universe? If the big bang happens after all reach 7th and all disburses out again, and that repeats almost infinitely, then maybe our planet/universe isn't 4.5 billion years old or whatever, but much less, and it just cycles around. It's like having endless games of chess, and each time the game ends, you mash up the board and pieces and make new ones out of them. Then after doing that a few trillion times, you ask in one specific game "how old is this board and pieces"?

Depends on your perspective?!That brought up an associated thought. The Cs said that everyone reached 7D at the same 'time'.

So maybe this current iteration of the game is only a few billion years old, but is the game the same every time?The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a thought experiment and paradox about whether an object is the same object after having had all of its original components replaced over time, typically one after the other.
In Greek mythology, Theseus, mythical king and founder of the city Athens, rescued the children of Athens from King Minos after slaying the minotaur and then escaped onto a ship going to Delos. Each year, the Athenians would commemorate this by taking the ship on a pilgrimage to Delos to honour Apollo. A question was raised by ancient philosophers: After several hundreds of years of maintenance, if each individual piece of the Ship of Theseus was replaced, one after the other, was it still the same ship?
What do you mean by "constantly being remade"? In the chess analogy you used, the game is reset after each match. Within each match, it is possible to track the history of moves from beginning to end. The astrophysicists can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of the big bang/big crunch model is that the big bang was the beginning of one cycle (or chess game). If we can accurately track the physics, we can determine the age of this cycle. That's not to say scientists have done so accurately, just that it is possible - like it's possible to track the trajectory of a thrown rock and determine the location and time from which it was thrown, or to trace the moves in the chess game from end to beginning. The transition from big crunch to big bang is the reset of those original materials. So you can trace the history of the universe, but nothing before the big bang, because there's nothing to trace, like with the reformed chess pieces.Would be pretty hard to define how old something is if it's constantly being remade (as if new) with the same materials.
Q: (L) Can we say that all that exists in the material universe is, say, "x" number of years old?
A: No. It is the eternal now. Not only did happen, is happening and going to happen. The expanded presence.

Has anyone ever thought about or wrote out a short descriptive history of our planet and species as per the Cs cosmology?
I can make a copy of it and modify it include all the events and timelines C's mentioned. I have them in excel format.
Looks like we're talking at cross purposes. I was only talking about one particular game and agree that in principle no one would be able to reliably date the age of the board prior to the current game.I meant the physical board and chess pieces. After each game, they are all 'smushed' up and remade into a board and pieces, possibly with the addition of a small amount of external matter too. How does a person, who is playing one particular game, reliably date the age of the board and pieces material, unaware that it has gone through a few billion such smushes?
So let's say the astrophysicists are in the ball park and it's been around 14 billion years since the big bang (maybe they are, maybe they're not). And that Earth is around 4.5 billion years old. From the perspective of "time", this chess game started 14 billion years ago, after the previous board and pieces got smushed and reformed; Earth formed about 9.5 billion years later, and we're currently being moved around on the board. In some undetermined amount of time (billions of years? tens?), the game will end and a new one will begin.In the chess analogy you used, the game is reset after each match.

(DD) What happens to a soul after it is smashed?
A: Primal matter. Start the cycle over. Millions or billions of years acquiring consciousness.
