In 2011, while crossing the street after work, I was hit by a Dodge truck and thrown up and over it. Seeing my body fly across the windshield, the driver pulled over leaving me airborne to come crashing to the pavement. As I hit the pavement I suddenly expected another vehicle to strike/run over me. It took a second to realize no vehicle struck me during afternoon drive time. Instantly the police and ambulance arrived. Since I was alive, conscious and had no severe injuries the police looking at my dirty work clothes assumed I hadn't even been hit. However, the driver and several witnesses assured them that I had so they put me in the ambulance and took me to the hospital to be checked out. My BP was normal in the ambulance which surprised the paramedic. At the hospital, the doctor was shaking his head how surprised he was that I wasn't more than just bruised. So, what if immortality is OUR timeline and other remnants of us do die in other people's timelines? Or do we transfer timelines and never die? Or, is it possible that 100 billion players are running a video game simulation and we are just a background character? Thoughts?

Thank you so much for sharing your story here. u/Joby14212you hit the nail square on the head! What happens to others in our reality does not necessarily happen to them in their reality. Because consciousness is energy and energy cannot be destroyed, we play out this timeline from the perspective that we always make it to a very old age until we are "ready to go" like so many people 100+ years old often say.
How would YOU convey this idea to one of your children? Would this be a good reason to repeatedly tell them "DO NOT FEAR" death as Jesus told us, yet we still find 'reasons' to disobey Him?
“…In which one comes to the ultimate realization that all of creation is substantially nothing but a mere idea-play of God’s own nature, and that NOTHING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE EXISTS BESIDES HIS OWN SELF.”
The universe exists in the mind of the Creator, and nothing else can be regarded as "real."
And here's the kicker…
Jesus in Mathew 25: "Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him,‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“I am the LIGHT that is over All. I am The All. The All comes from me and unfolds toward me. Split a piece of wood, there I am. Lift up the stone, you have found me there.“ ~Jesus
All = Everything
Because of this, there is nothing in the entire universe, no stone, no piece of wood, no single hair on a person's head, that could ever be separate from the All, that is, GOD.
For a man, created by the All, to think he ever could possibly be separate from the only thing that is, that is the true Vanity.
Pray on the above things friends. Ask God to give you a sign.
That's an intriguing story, and your theory about it is as good as any. I would make sense, perhaps, if the multiverse is real. I don't think it is, but then I really have no way to know; I haven't seen anything to prove or disprove either the multiverse or Kastrup's theory, which is basically an extension of Quantum Wave theory, which IS well supported. But it might be that the deep nature of the universe is actually beyond human comprehension -- something I suspect is mostly true.
I have thought about this my entire life. Like, how many times have I actually died in other "timelines" and does it happen all the time ultimately ending in death from old age? Because there are SEVERAL times I shouldn't have walked away.
Agreed. I drowned twice as a child. Age 5 resuscitated. I was hit briad by a drunk driver going 90 mph. I fell in front of a train 9 seconds away. And other close calls. Likely we all have.
