# Parallel Realities > Parallel realities exist as simultaneous alternative Earth versions shifted through belief, vibration, and focus. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/parallel-realities # Parallel Realities There is not one Earth but an infinite array of complete Earths already existing, and you shift through billions of them per second by your vibrational state. You never actually change the world you're on — you change yourself and shift to a parallel Earth already matching you. ## The film-strip and the frozen frame A parallel reality is a frozen snapshot, a still frame on a strip of movie film — there is no movement in it and no experience in it. What you experience as movement and change is your consciousness shifting through a series of frozen, still parallel realities, the way a projector light through a strip of film creates the illusion of motion on a screen. Consciousness shifts through those independent frames literally billions of times per second. The side effect of that shifting is the experience you call time: time is not a thing in itself, it is the by-product of switching frames. Because each frame is static, location is itself a variable of an object's frequency — every change is a total change, and you are literally a new person each moment, with a different history. ## What you call the past is a present cross-connection What you call past and future are simultaneously coexisting experiences on a different frequency domain, all here alongside you — like the channels on a television, all broadcasting at once, of which you only perceive the one you are tuned to. By choosing who you are in the present you connect to parallel realities you then label "past" or "future." You never actually travel between them; you switch the dial like a radio, each frequency considering itself the only real one for the instant it is on. This is why Bashar says the present creates the past, not the other way around: since you are literally a new person at each shift, you also have a new past and a new history moment to moment. The cross-connections to other lives — what you call memory, karma, or "past-life" recall — are present-time links to other simultaneous incarnations, not effects travelling forward from a literal yesterday. ## Time travel is always to another parallel reality, never your own Time travel, in Bashar's account, is real as an experience but never to your own timeline. When you "go back," you slip to another parallel reality that merely resembles your past; you cannot change your own past because you were never in that frame. This is why the grandfather paradox cannot occur: killing that grandfather only prevents the version of you native to that parallel timeline from being born — it has no effect on you whatsoever. ## Vibration is the dial Each parallel reality and each being has a signature vibration — a combination of frequencies, sometimes with components similar to other realities relevant to your exploration. Because those components resonate together, you automatically receive information on the same resonance wave; you shift to the frame that matches the state of being you occupy. A shift to a different frequency is itself a shift into a different dimension — Bashar uses "parallel reality" and "dimension" interchangeably in this sense, framing both as frequency states rather than as a fixed ladder. ## You cannot change anyone; you can only change yourself and shift The political-polarization exchange turns the model into practical instruction. When asked how to eliminate polarization so that more people become aware of All That Is, Bashar's reply is that you do not: you can never change the world you are on, you can only change yourself and shift to a parallel Earth that already contains people more representative of the vibration you have chosen. You never change anyone; you take yourself to a world already more reflective of your change. Unconditional love offers an option while still allowing the other their choice. ## What is not of your vibration is invisible to you A natural corollary: that which is not of your vibration will be invisible to you, and if you are not the vibration of something else, you are invisible to it. You do not have to fight or avoid a "worst-case" reality — by maintaining your own frequency you simply cease to be a match to it, and it ceases to be a match to you. ## The speed of creation shows in the difference between frames Creation is always instantaneous; the only reason it seems slow is that you are not creating much difference from one frame to the next. As you harmonize with your higher self and create greater difference between one moment and the next, you climb in vibration toward the speed of light — the edge of your reality construct — and space and time grow flexible and malleable. The shifting itself generates fluctuating patterns of energy, like ripples in a pond; Bashar describes seeing humans holographically as overlapping three-dimensional ripples, a self-contained language and dance of light. ## Practical implications Notice that the work is never to "change the world" but to change your own state of being and shift to a parallel Earth already matching it. When you find yourself matching the frequency of a reality you do not prefer, the way out is to stop matching it; that reality then becomes invisible to you. Read sudden memory, inspiration, or "past-life" recall as a present-time cross-connection to a simultaneous incarnation — information arriving now, not a literal debt from a linear past. When offering help or perspective, Bashar's framing is to share the option and allow the other their choice — unconditional love in this model includes the permission to choose differently. Use the film-strip image to loosen the sense of a fixed personal history: each moment you are a new person with a new past, which means nothing that happened to "who you were" defines who you can be now. The cosmological framework is Bashar's teaching, not verified physics. References to "billions of shifts per second," "the speed of light as the edge of reality," and the grandfather-paradox account are presented in the transcripts as metaphysical principles, not as scientific claims. ## Representative passages You can never change the world you're in. You can only change yourself and shift to a parallel earth that already contains the people that are more representative of the vibration you've changed within yourself. You never change anyone. You only change yourself and take yourself to a world already more reflective of that change.— Bashar, Change Yourself And You Change To A Parallel Earth (change-yourself-and-you-change-to-a-parallel-earth#qa-1) When we talk about the idea of parallel reality, we're talking about a frozen snapshot, there's no movement in it, there's no experience in it. It's like a still frame on a strip of movie film. That's a parallel reality… you're talking about your consciousness shifting through a series of frozen, still parallel realities.— Bashar, Movie Strip Frames Parallel Reality Analogy Part1 (movie-strip-frames-parallel-reality-analogy-part1#qa-1) There is only one moment in creation. And what you call different moments is really the same moment from different points of view… your consciousness skips and shifts through those independent parallel reality frames literally billions of times per second. By shifting from one frame to another, billions of times per second, you create the effect, the side effect, the experience and illusion of change, movement, time.— Bashar, All Things Exist Now The Present Creates The Past (all-things-exist-now-the-present-creates-the-past#qa-1) Number one, karma is completely self-imposed. Number two, karma and the concept of reincarnation is again an illusion. It is simultaneous incarnations in parallel realities… karma is your decision to create a blueprint of connection to other life experiences going on at the same time that you believe are designed to serve the theme of the challenges you wish to explore in this life.— Bashar, All Things Exist Now The Present Creates The Past (all-things-exist-now-the-present-creates-the-past#qa-2) Any different kind of a shift into a different frequency really is a different dimension.— Bashar, Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension#qa-2) That which is not of your vibration will be invisible to you, and if you are not the vibration of something else, you are invisible to it.— Bashar, What Is Not Of Your Vibration With Be Invisible To You (what-is-not-of-your-vibration-with-be-invisible-to-you#qa-1) We see you all holographically. It's like looking at a series of three-dimensional ripples coming out from central places, as if you dropped a multitude of stones in water but three-dimensionally. Rippling, rippling, rippling, intersecting, interacting, reinforcing, diminishing, colors, light, energy… It's a language unto itself. It's information unto itself. It's a dance of light.— Bashar, Shifting Billions Of Times Per second (shifting-billions-of-times-per-second#qa-3) ## Related - [Vibration](https://sassani.app/topic/vibration) - [The Formula](https://sassani.app/topic/the-formula) - [Reincarnation](https://sassani.app/topic/reincarnation) - [Oversoul](https://sassani.app/topic/oversoul) - [Interconnectedness](https://sassani.app/topic/interconnectedness) - [Relevance](https://sassani.app/topic/relevance) - [Co-Creation](https://sassani.app/topic/co-creation) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/parallel-realities.
