The author lived a fascinating life. Like an early 20th century Indiana Jones. And it feels like I'm his fiction he was exploring ideas that would be expanded by Philip K. Dick

It's fascinating to explore older fiction to find the seeds of what now may be a widespread practice in media.

Could you expand on what you mean by widespread practice? I'm not sure I'm following you there. :)

I meant that altered or alternate realities are nearly a common topic in movies and TV and streaming shows. Recently I saw a YouTuber discussing how the Mandela Effect has escalated and reality has become highly malleable.

Yes, that is true. (And thanks for the clarification. :) ) If we are in a computer matrix then it seems we now have some sort of control over changing it...perhaps this is one of the additions the Aquarian Age will bring to mankind. This video came out over ten years ago and I saw it then. It's stuck with me and I still think of it. Maybe he's right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15pOr1E6hvc

What is the Aquarian Age defined by?

It's both defined by time and by qualities. This is one astrologer's take on what the new age means: https://www.astrologyzone.com/age-of-aquarius/

The sign of Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus. In Astrology, Uranus is associated with the nervous system, lightning, lightning-fast changes, and technology (among other things.) Which is why people are feeling so overloaded right now, their bodies are trying to cope with massive energetic changes from cosmic energies. (This sounds "airy-fairy" but it's not. The solar winds and CMEs affect us.) And all the tech advancements are also very Uranian (according the astrologers.) As humans we must find ways to use the lightning-fast new technological advancements in a way that supports humanity in the new age, not destroy it. This last is my take on things, but I believe it. Social platforms have been used to manipulate humanity (slow down its development.) But that's just because we're at the beginning of the new age. In a century or two, if we survive that long, it won't be like that. Bettcha!

This is fascinating, and I can see it happening across forums and groups. These platforms that promised union have driven deeper separation between people, and in turn have provoked a deep craving for genuine human connection. A sort of detoxing is taking place now.

It would be awesome to see what things will be like in 200 years!

Thank you for sharing that video. That was moving. I feel the same, I think this accelerated Mandela Effect we're feeling is the collective energy of lots people around the planet yearning for better than what we've been receiving.

It's fascinating to see where we are now from when the video was posted. They anticipated changes.

Honestly, I don't think we've seen the half of it yet.
