I asked you to check your own memory

Again, I don't know what this means as it appears unresponsive to my actual question.

Now you did actually answer my question partially in a post that was almost simultaneous to the question (less than 1 minute before mine) though it's not clear to my *why* you were writing this answer I still think it was useful:

everyone is an authority for their own memories


I respect them enough to know their memory is valid

This sounds like a good thing. I think, barring evidence to the contrary of a kind that is difficult to obtain on internet chat sites, that we should accept what other people claim about their mental states (memories, feelings, beliefs). That doesn't mean they are accurate, only that it is the way remember it or feel about it. Hopefully we all give each other the benefit of the doubt that we are not lying about such things on this site.

Haven't read the full article yet, but it starts out with the story of "Jerry". I've had the exact same experience. Going through an intersection, seeing a truck right there and too late. Waiting for the sound of metal and glass and just hoping it would be over with quick ... but nothing. It's like we went through each other. Physically impossible.

welcome to this reality

I finished the article. Why would "dimensional jumping" require many worlds? If there are more dimensions in this one world than we can perceive, and we temporarily move into a higher one, and back again, it's not needed. I've heard just the addition of one more dimension (4th spatial) would give the ability for different matter to exist in the same space. Much like I described of my experience.

the idea of timelines are that slight differences would naturally exist


hence we're noticing these differences


however since we died… it was necessary to shift

perhaps there are reasons for a shift other than death


John de Lancie… died


I'm grateful he is alive (at least here)

John de Lancie the actor? Interesting. I really like him & glad he's here too. But scripture is way out enough for me. Teleporting (Philip), being "like" Christ because we'll see him as he really is (higher dimensions), Christ appearing in the midst of a cube (room) without coming through any of it's sides, ... Reality is a curious thing.

yes, his wiki page quotes him on the Q character -

"My name is John de Lancie, and I am a god. At least, I've played one on TV. And I'm here to tell you as a god that I was created by humans. And the words I spoke were written by men and women ... My creators took great care in exalting me to the position I hold today. And just like all the gods before me—Zeus, Baal, Yahweh—my god creators wanted you to believe that I am the omnipotent one. The alpha and the omega. ... Truth be told, ... I don't exist any more than the thousands of other gods that humans have created, worshipped, and died for since the beginning of time. ... But if you insist on believing in me, you do so at your own risk. ... I will lead you down the path of ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry. ... All because you believe."

I'll get myself in trouble with other Christians here, but we are all "gods" in the little 'g' sense. Christ quoted Ps 82:6 on this. Michael Heiser does an excellent session on this showing it simply to mean "spirit beings". As in ... plants have a body, but no soul or spirit. Animals have body and soul. Humans have body, soul, and spirit. Solomon addressed where 2 of these go on death. That just leaves the question of the soul and the answer is another question - which is it attached to?
