Outlook:
The question remains unanswered is: What makes these
parallel worlds
manifest (ie. how often do "I" exist) or just
remain hypothetical
assumptions. But this is without importance for us at
the moment. In a
simple and subjective way, only that which we
experience actually
manifests. For me it appears dimly that out of
Ennead only the
parallel worlds through which we pass by our
subjective experience,
our acting and our reality become reality and
sharply outlined. All
else remains dim and unreal but may be experienced
by others - who
knows? This is similar to a widespread network of
rails in a railway
shunting station, with numerous railtracks linked
by switches, but
only ONE track being used by a train. The switches
stand for important
decisions which open this or that way. According to
our decisions we
pass a track leading more "up" or "down", more
"ahead" or "back" (all
seen from Ennead), or we just shuttle back and forth
in the middle. To
help to understand this we can look at certain games,
like chess, that
show how the chain of events is predetermined by
decisions that lie
far back in the past. By playing chess you can get
an idea of the
reality of fate, and that some errors taken in the
past can hardly be
set right whilst some may easily be. These causal
chains may be very
long in any case.

However, for a being fixed and rooted in his/its
paradigm, there is
not much difference how it decides. A root or a
branch can grow in
this or that way, and reacts to certain stimuli
like light or water,
but remains fixed and not suited for free movement.
The more simple an
animal is organized, the more unidirectional its
reactions are:
"lurk - snap - gorge" and suchlike. The
(occasionally) more complex
motivations of men lead me conclude that we may be
on the threshold
before the door to the next paradigm.
(Similar to plant-like
organisms, corals for example, that are fixed to
the ground but can
push out and pull in their tentacles... Hagazussa
already?).
