Youre speaking of fractals. Fractal reality.
A lot of it anyways. With a kind of shifting narrative on death as you feel it out.
Good stuff
Quoting: Merit I'd like to hear your thoughts on quantum immortality. Perhaps how it relates to karma and the path one chooses. Fractal reality lends perfectly to the idea that we are dreams within dreams. The deeper you nested the more cycles you're gonna wake up in, is my current understanding.
Like, you ever die in a vivid dream only to wake up and question the validity of your current reality for a day..for context.
Pretty trippy.
Quantum immortality is the nice term. I typically hear it called quantum suicide.
For those who are not familiar its a multiverse theory basically. The idea that our consciousness exists in multiple realities at once.
So if you were to say get in a car wreck, you may "die" in your particular reality or timeline but survive the wreck in another, break your leg in another, your arm in another and sleep in that day and avoid the wreck all together in yet another. So and so forth through infinite or finite possibilities. (Depending on what you believe.)
The idea being your consciousness exists on all timelines at once giving you many possible experiences and outcomes in your life for your soul or conscious to experience.
It's a little more complicated than that But basically just a twist on the Schrodingers cat enigma, but thats the gist.

Ok, now on to your question. Trying to reconcile it with Karma is an interesting concept
It immediately, to me, makes me wonder if the concept of Karma in this quantum state is a communal karma that is spread through all timelines or each timeline has its own karma with its own rewards and punishments.
If it's communal then thats a big concept to try and balance. A bad deed in one timeline could get you fired, beat up, robbed or even killed in another. Even though the version of you that suffered for it did nothing wrong in their timeline.
The idea of a separate karmic account for each timeline that all goes into your Akashic Record like a karmic bank account of deposits and withdrawals to be tallied together later for some purpose is almost equally mind warping but a little easier to conceptualize for me.
Finally yes I certainly think it can be applied to the 3 paths. Why not? And the various perversions of the three paths too.
In a way though you would be battling yourself on the different paths. Those paths are not "normal life". They're a purposely done step you have taken to explore yourself at the deepest levels you can manage.
