Quantum Jumping

Now then. The other day I was chatting to my younger brother on Skype. For some reason, his camera is at desk level and can't be moved, so I see a huge chin and big nostrils, and if he doesn't turn off the light behind him, it looks like he has a halo. Or perhaps since I saw him last summer he has turned into an angelic creature with a weird face. All things are possible.

Which brings me right to the heart of this post. Am I the only one, or is everyone else getting bombarded with adverts for Quantum Jumping? They're everywhere I go in my virtual life. They invade my gmail account. Whoever is organising the campaign must have a huge advertising budget (and no, this isn't a sponsored post, before you wonder).

This is what the Quantum Jumping website says:

The abundant you. The inventor you. The creative you. In alternate universes, everything you desire has already taken place. Tap into this infinite potential with Quantum Jumping...

Every decision you make in life causes a “split” in reality...

In these alternate universes, alternate versions of YOU are living out their lives...

And then:

This revelation may be a little hard to swallow...

Yup. That last one, I go with.

Help. I'm just getting to grips with the fact that something called 4G might exist. I'm not ready for alternative realities. Actually, and perhaps this is why I find Quantum Jumping a little threatening, I'm a really bad one for 'what if?'ing in my life. I have come to see that it's a very unproductive activity, so I've been trying to drop 'what if?' in favour of 'what next?' - a much more helpful approach. Quantum Jumping is the ultimate 'what if?'. Not only can you explore what hypothetically you might have been or done, but it seems that you can literally do so.

I asked my younger brother if he thought one day we'd be able to get beamed up and down by Skype, rather than just being able to see and hear each other through the medium of a screen. He said something about molecules.

So what do you think? Are you all getting the ads and links? Who is behind it all? Is it possible to explore our other virtual lives? Am I, perhaps, a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist, a supermodel or a kindergarten teacher, a hooker or a zookeeper, and I just don't know about it? And if we can hop about from one life to another, from real life to virtual life, will we all still need to go to Cyber Mummy to meet up?
