...and I quote,
"Imagine a slight revision in Nietzsche's myth of eternal return: not that at history's end all matter collapses back to the center, Big-Bangs, and starts again identically; but that it starts again with one infinitesimal difference in the action of a single molecule -- every time, and an endless number of times. When you die, your conscousness blanks out, but it resumes eons later, when the history of molecules has been revised enough to preclude your death due to those particular circumstances: the bullet hits your brain in this world, but in a later one merely tickles your earlobe. You die in one universe and yet in another go on without a hitch. You don't mark the intervening ages -- subjectively you experience nothing other than almost having died. But in fact you've edged into another kingdom, ruled by another king, engaging other potentialities."
This woke me up. It sums up a lot of dangling theories, loose threads in my brain, and attaches them to complete an idea. If this theory is true, and I cannot refute it, than I really died when I hit that car, and in another time, this one, I didn't. It has always seemed odd to me that the one time I wear a helmet is the one time I get hit by a car, but it was just my luck that a few eons later, the history of the atomic structure of the universe allowed me to put a helmet on that day. This is starting to boggle my mind! The book itself is excellent, the same guy that wrote Jesus' Son, and I recommend you give this author a try. GOD DAMN!!
