Does consciousness leave a permanent imprint on the fabric of spacetime continuum / substrate?

    I haven't ever bumped into myself while cruising through the spacetime continuum, but I feel I am OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. Darn, this is a really spooky thought and it reminds me about the keys I lost one time. I looked all over the place for them (I knew they were in the house because I had to use them to get inside), I spent two hours searching every spot in the entire house and finally found them in the refrigerator. Now every time I look for my keys I check the refrigerator. That hasn't been a problem, but it doesn't explain Harvey.

    Harvey is a friend of mine who comes over once in awhile and immediately goes to the refrigerator, opens the door and stands there peering hopefully into the ethers as if in a trance. Obviously, another manifestation of me communicated the importance of looking through the refrigerator - Harvey is now part of that reality. I can't tell him not to do it, or that it bothers me because I have already told him to do it and I don't want to have too many spooky things happening in the continuum all at once.

    It is a bit confusing, but I don't want it to become a real problem. Somewhere, and in some other time, a part of me is already working out the solution. You gotta roll with the punches and not take life too seriously.

    EDIT: My puter shut down unexpectedly TWICE while dealing with this question (that's pretty spooky). I also can't find my reading glasses and want to take a peek inside the refrigerator, but Harvey is here and I don't want to create any more confusion.

    I believe that when you see or hear "some" paranormal , you are experiencing imprints from history.Not all paranormal experiences are the same thing as there are many dimensions, but if you want to take a scientific approach consider cell memory, which could be what "past life" dreams are about. I think this is somewhat similar to "historical imprints." Living in a historical home, I have heard strange things, when the house is quiet at night, I have heard what sounds like a family having dinner, dishes clashing,children giggling, I also hear what sounds like a poker game, low muffled voices, and an old radio playing what sounds like big band or old country. I believe If you touch something old, something of importance with history and emotion attached to it, and you're sensitive enough, you can feel the emotional leftovers? maybe a better word is historical imprints :) Maybe I should just tell you, I have experiences that I really don't understand, but the way you word it, really does describe it well. thanks

    Nice visuals. Yes it does leave a permanent imprint, except it's not "left", it was/is/will be always there. The fabric of spacetime, or the spacetime loaf if you will, can be sliced in many different ways as a thought experiment. On this level, non-locality reigns, and it really is all "now". Or looked at another way, depending on your relative motion and distance from Earth, with a super telescope, you could watch Marie Antoinette pick her nose. If you're into that sort of thing.

    Consciousness IS the space time continuum.

    In all probability, far less than a stream, the flight of a bird, or the contributions you have made to your sewage system today.

    All of those dispel more energy than your neuronal activity associated with consciousness.

    Yes there is a cosmic consciousness.

    The actuality of the existence of God is demonstrated in human experience by the indwelling of the divine presence, the spirit Monitor sent from Paradise to live in the mortal mind of man and there to assist in evolving the immortal soul of eternal survival. The presence of this divine Adjuster in the human mind is disclosed by three experiential phenomena:

    1. The intellectual capacity for knowing God--God-consciousness.

    2. The spiritual urge to find God--God-seeking.

    3. The personality craving to be like God--the wholehearted desire to do the Father's will.

    The existence of God can never be proved by scientific experiment or by the pure reason of logical deduction. God can be realized only in the realms of human experience; nevertheless, the true concept of the reality of God is reasonable to logic, plausible to philosophy, essential to religion, and indispensable to any hope of personality survival.

    I hate you for making me sit through that horrible video. Your question is completely non-related. I think that our consciousness IS the imprint, that everything is the imprint of everything else. Fractals upon fractals until forever.

    Also Urantia is bullshit. It's only to be taken figuratively.

    And what would you consider a "permanent imprint"?

    I can just see it on TruTV: "Stay tuned for -- 'Psychic Forensic Files'."
