Most universes employ a Multiverse System. Although they are often referred to as "Parallel Universes," parallels, or paras, exist within only one universe and are not to be confused with separate universes.
Humans and other tier 1-4 bipedal beings across Apata share the multiverse, which expedites evolution by thousands of years for multiverse beings by allowing the experience of multiple lessons at once. Paraselves, our selves in other parallels, live life simultaneously and are anchored to one spirit by one shared energy field and subconscious. Paraselves are possible through a divided consciousness, a consciousness that is equally distributed to each paraself with strong boundaries that keeps concurrent realities from merging in the psyche.
In order to be born, a conception must take place in at least 42% of the parallels. Most people have paraselves in about 60% to 75% of the paras. If circumstances are unfavorable for a baby to be born in a minimum of 42% of the paras, then a pregnant mother might not carry that baby to term, although there are exceptions. Likewise, it is unsustainable to be born in more than 80% of the parallels.
At the culmination of tier 4, when one graduates to tier 5, concentrated consciousness is granted, even if the individual lives on a tier 1-4 planet. Concentrated consciousness, a single unified consciousness for one being that is not divided among paraselves, yields a longer life span, a more powerful intellect, and seemingly supernatural abilities, such as manipulation of matter at an atomic level and intergalactic clairvoyance. Tier 5-7 beings are identified as angels, faeries, witches, wizards, sorcerers, Elders, miracle healers, and those considered "gods" or mythological beings.
Divided consciousness bars one from unauthorized paratravel. It is imperative for the safety of all paraselves that they never cross paths. Many protections exist to ensure the security of paraselves. Those with concentrated consciousness are free to paratravel without the limitations imposed on paraselves.
Animals and plants also possess concentrated consciousness, experiencing the spirit realms and the physical realms equally. Their magic is subtle, their beauty exquisite. These guides and teachers are essential to the balance of life on every planet. If too many animals die on any planet, that planet suffers a massive spiritual decline since animals are necessary to keep worlds connected to the spirit realm.
Those with divided consciousness struggle to maintain their connection with the spirit world, although there are souls that are more spiritually inclined than others. Divinely inclined souls, however, practice spiritual self-discipline to maintain that connection.
As paraselves pass away, consciousness becomes increasingly concentrated. The practical implications of paradeath can have an immediate effect on paraselves. (For psychological effects, please see Paradepression.)
One's last living paraself is usually too aged to benefit from the physically regenerative power of concentrated consciousness, but instead gains concentrated wisdom. Those that inherit concentrated consciousness at a younger age have enough time to benefit from the regenerative capacity, thus allowing an extended life span, explaining how some folks live well into their hundreds.
Rare cases in which most or all of one's paraselves have coincidentally died at a young age can endow one with a natural concentrated consciousness. Those cases are extremely rare. These people have unlimited abilities, for good or ill.
Parallels can be boring or bizarre, utopian or nightmarish. All experiences are uploaded to the Akashic Records during sleep. Often, as the brain uploads the day's events, we recall some of our paraselves' trials and adventures.
Confusing erratic dreams with disconnected bits and pieces can be attributed to various "clips" from different paraselves' memories. To complicate matters, dreams can also be premonitions, flashbacks, guidance, even visits from loved one's from the Between. The subconscious has free reign, but you remember what is important in that moment, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
The reality of dreams not only gives insight into the self but into the universe. Those experiences from dreams are as real as any waking, and our mind, body, spirit, and brain waves react with appropriate conviction.
Just to get a feel for how much that actually is, one billion seconds equals 31.71 years. One trillion seconds equals 31,710 years. One hundred trillion seconds is 3,170,979 years, an unfathomable amount.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), sometimes referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder, provides insight into how the internal walls of reality are constructed in our brains to experience parallels. DID occurs when the mind has open access to one or more paraselves, or, as commonly conveyed in storytelling, is an open door to independent entities in the Between. Neither type is inherently violent by nature.
In our brains, 100 billion neurons are electrified with the spark of life, with 100 trillion currents or synapses connecting them in a cohesive mesh of interactive transmissions.

- The thalamus can sense others, allowing one to both see and hear input. When off-balance, the processes of the superior surface of the thalamus slow down, while the inferior surface processes speed up, allowing for a hyper-connection to the hippocampus, which regulates unconscious memories and realities. The thalamus is at the core interface of our senses, driving how we literally see the world. In multiple personalities, it permits cohesive interaction with unconscious realities.
- The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex regulates internal communication. It is where most of the code for the multiverse is located. It gives us the boundaries to function as autonomous individuals in each parallel, allowing for the separateness of thought and feeling on a superficial level. It also provides self-awareness. When the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex is compromised, it opens awareness to "otherness" inside the brain while awareness of others in the physical environment becomes secondary.
- The Inferior Parietal Lobe processes stimulus from the outside world, such as the ability to read others' emotions, body image, mathematics, and language. It is about the fundamentals of existence, the ability to read, comprehend and understand the world around one, and one's place in it. When unbalanced, it processes stimulus from the inner worlds accessed through the subconscious. Other points of the brain work harder to compensate for this weakness.
- When those other parts of the brain work harder, it causes inflammation, putting pressure on the Lateral Sulcus, also known as the Sylvian Fissure, which is necessary to keep consciousness separate and focus on a current reality. Those divisional lines are blurred, causing the realities of paraselves to merge.
- The Cingulate Cortex regulates the initiation of responses to create a desired outcome based on our autobiographical memories. When adversely affected, the paraselves memories are more readily shared, along with the dynamic reactions to those memories.
- The Basal Ganglia processes the fine-tuning of movement and the direction of the musculoskeletal system to move in very personal and specific ways. It gives people a naturally unique way about them, from their particular facial expressions to their strut. When not functioning correctly, this becomes a shared access point, allowing another spirit or paraself to truly share their essence through the body of another. This is what makes DID so profoundly verifiable; it is possible to recognize distinct personalities through this mechanism.
