Right now, the most important theory in consciousness or in quantum mechanics is called the multiverse or the multi-world theory. which means if you allow the wave function, Schrödinger's wave function, to keep distributing into innumerable branches, each of them results in a different universe. And there are infinite universes and there are infinite versions of you in other dimensions.

That's the number one theory. How dare you? That's the number one theory. In string theory, multiverse, multiworlds, they're all kind of going in that direction mathematically. Sean Carroll, who was the physicist at Caltech, popularized that theory more than even the originator of the theory. Of infinite multiverses. Infinite multiverses. But if you ask Sean, are these real?

Are these universes real? He'll say yes, because that's mathematics, which is not real, which is in imagination, in consciousness. But mathematics, for some reason, describes everything in the universe, the laws of nature. Okay? We don't know why. It's the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.

But that's what he'll say, that there are different dimensions and different universes and multiverses. Vedanta would disagree. They would say, you're already in a dreamscape. This is called karma bhumi. This is one particular dreamscape. And you're a fictional character in that dreamscape. And there are infinite dreamscapes. The Buddhists get it totally.

This loka, that loka, but they're all dream lokas. This is also a dream loka. And Buddha said that this lifetime of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain. And Ananda said, hey, who are you? Are you a prophet?

Are you, you know, God? Are you this, that? Buddha said, none of the above. So Ananda said, you know, wait a minute. Before you leave, you have to tell me who you are. And he said, I'm awake. Those were his last words. Wittgenstein, we are asleep. Our life is a dream. But once in a while, we wake up enough to know that we're dreaming. So this whole thing is a lucid dream in a vivid now.

And it's ungraspable. Because as I said, by the time you hear my words, they're not there. What happened to your childhood? It's a dream. What happened to your teenage years? It's a dream. What about yesterday? What about five minutes ago? What about a second ago? It's ungraspable. That's the klesha. This is a dream that is ungraspable. Wake up to what or anything. Who is dreaming?

That's the most important thing. And that which is dreaming never left home. It keeps dreaming. Infinite dreams. So I believe in infinite universes. All as infinite dream lokas. Just like the Buddhists do. Or, yeah. Those are lokas. Loka is a very good word. Loka means location. Lokas. So loka is the appearance in space-time of that which is not in space-time.
