Let’s go back to your childhood: you are born one day, and the world is already in motion. You don’t remember signing up for this life, nor do you recall choosing the specific rules of reality that you now operate within. The sun rises, the seasons change, and your body grows older. Everything around you seems to follow a certain flow—from birth to death, from beginnings to endings. Naturally, you assume: everything must have a starting point and an endpoint.

But here’s the twist: this perception is a byproduct of the specific "slice" of reality you’re experiencing, just like our specific experience of gravity is the byproduct of living on earth. Go to the moon, and the experience changes.

We are like a fish in the ocean can only observe their environment and assume it to be the only reality and remain blissfully unaware of how large the ocean truly is or how many fish exist in it. This is excluding the idea of a land-based reality which to a deep sea fish is incomprehensible!

Now let’s zoom out. If we go by the premise of a Timeless "Nothing with No Laws", leading to Everything, as the base reality (which the book Nothing/Everything argues for), all these "slices"—these configurations of existence—are already being projected timelessly. Think of it as an infinite movie reel.

Each observer, trapped within a specific slice/snapshot of this infinite reel, believes they are in the middle of a grand story for the FIRST TIME.

You think this is the first time you’ve existed, the only time you’ve existed, and that there must have been some "Big Bang" that kicked it all off and some ultimate end when it will all fade away. But here’s the probable truth: the Big Bang, while absolutely real, is ALSO just one slice/snapshot on the infinite reel. The "end of the universe" is another.

These events are not beginnings or endings—they’re simply configurations that exist timelessly, just like all the other snapshots. Your mind, however, is part of a snapshot that operates under certain rules. In this case, the rule is: everything must have a cause, a beginning, and an end.

Let’s break it down.

The Default State of Reality, as we have established logically in the book Nothing/Everything is probably "Nothing with No Laws" → This Leads to Everything.

Nothing/Everything doesn’t pick and choose—it simply allows all configurations to exist, even if the configurations are not visible to each other in the same "slice" just like one fish cannot see the entirety of the ocean. This "infinite configuration" and universes not visible to each other possibility is also supported by the Many Worlds view of Quantum Mechanics.

This means everything that can exist does exist, including "you."

Nothing with No Laws Means Everything. This means Infinite Probabilities which Mean Infinite Yous.

If the fundamental state of reality contains every possible version of you, then there are configurations of you/similar to you that:

Were born in different centuries, planets, universes.

Made different choices, leading to different outcomes.

Lived, died, and were born again—not through reincarnation in a religious sense, but simply as a natural consequence of infinite probability.

There’s No Time. You’re Not "Waiting" to Appear. You Already Exist in Infinite Ways.

In a time-bound universe, we think of existence as a straight line.

But if time is an illusion, and all realities exist timelessly, then "you" aren’t appearing after some event.

You already exist in an infinite number of configurations, in an infinite number of ways.

If you’re wondering how you “got here,” the answer is—you never left. You’ve always been here.
