Gerald O'Donnell has some good things to say

I've been listening to Gerald O'Donnell's podcasts from his site, Probable Future. This is the second time I've listened, and the first since having my revelation, so I'm getting more out of it.

I figured something out this morning about co-creation and competitive creation. Gerald was talking with an interviewer and the interviewer posed a scenario: person A wants chocolate ice cream, and person B wants vanilla. Only one type of ice cream can be ordered, so whose intentions win out?

I think this depends on two things, the level of connection they have to the reality that has structured the idea of ice cream (and the idea of the restaurant, the chair they are sitting in, etc.) and the level of connection they have to each other.

If they lack a tight connection, as in they haven't communicated with each other, barely know each other's names and will not make a tighter connection to each other in the future, then it's entirely possible that person A will have chocolate ice cream served in their universe and person B will have vanilla served in theirs. The weird thing is that, if one were to access the information about that meal from person A's perspective, person A will be eating chocolate ice cream, and if you access that same information from person B's perspective, person A will be eating vanilla ice cream. The same principle applies if we look at what flavor person B is eating, it depends 100% on the perspective.

What if the two people do share a tight connection? Then the flavor chosen depends on each person's degree of connection to the local overmind, or the matrix or the One or whatever. Whoever has the greater connection will have a greater influence on the outcome of the situation and the other person won't get the flavor they want.

This is all assuming that both people have a degree of connection to the One in order to influence their reality. If they only possess a trickle of connection, it's more likely the local overmind will impose whatever flavor has the lowest path of resistance.
