Your life is a movie and you are the STAR
The physical universe is one of a multitude of universes or "systems of reality", some physical in nature, some mental or spiritual, and some completely foreign to human concepts, each with its own natural laws, and each as valid as any other. As in the "many worlds hypothesis", our physical universe has multiple "probable" renditions. Any event or action which is likely to occur in one probable universe will be actualized in that or another probable universe, or will be actualized in the dream universe or in some other system of reality. There are, as examples given by Seth, probable universes in which the dinosaurs are still alive, and probable universes in which Christianity did not develop.

I shared with a friend recently that one of my major discoveries in 2007 is that we live in a probabilistic universe. In other words, you are who you are today only as a probable projection of who you were in the past.
In other words, if you were making $40,000 on average in the last five years, chances are that you will keep making that kind of money in the next five years.
Here's the success secret or insight: you can let the past create the probable you, OR you can let your imagination create the improbable you. The improbable you is the person you fantasize about becoming. For example, you might fantasize about your being a millionaire.
For this improbable you (the millionaire) to become a reality, you MUST think improbable thoughts, feel improbable feelings and do improbable things. In other words, you must defeat habit over and over and over again.
Why? Because your current habits and reflexes are MAINTAINING your current self-concept and are keeping your life exactly as it is. This prevents you from growing as a person.
Indeed, every single reflex and habit that you currently have, whether or not you are conscious of them, are aggressively militating to keep you EXACTLY AS YOU ARE. As a result, your future becomes nothing more than a replication of your past.
You have to make a conscious choice to side either with your past or your future.
Your past shows up in your physical present, and is materially very powerful. Everything you see in your life right now is an agent of the past; a result of past decisions; a consequence of past thoughts and feelings.
In your psychological present, however, you are completely free. This is why I say that "to find your fortune, you have to lose your memory." In other words, you have to live in the here and now, meaning that "place beyond time and beyond past, especially your personal history."
This is why Anthony Robbins says that "decision is destiny." The decision to change is an especially important decision.
I call it the "suspension of biographical belief" or the "hijacking of biographical momentum."
"Biographical belief" is the set of beliefs that you hold because of your particular life experience (which includes the people you know, your parents, your education, your friends, the books you've read, the plays or movies you've seen, the relationships you've had, etc.).
Here's a concrete statistic showing how a person's biographical belief can be suspended and bring about a positive outcome: research has found that when a person knows a successful entrepreneur, he/she is TWICE as likely to launch a business.
Another statistic, by Newsweek magazine, reveals that if you're a small business owner, you have one chance in 1,000 to become a millionaire.
When you consider the two stats above, you begin to realize how important networking is. Especially networking with successful people.
However, even without meeting successful people, you CAN "suspend your biographical belief" by simply deciding to become a new person. Just decide to become the ideal person you want to be. Then start by dressing up like that ideal person, speaking like him, walking like him, planning activities like him, project confidence like him, etc. Of course, do so incrementally, one step at a time. One day at a time.
In other words, think of yourself as an actor playing -- to perfection -- a new role. The leading role in a new movie or play!
Play that new role with conviction, skill, authenticity, enthusiasm, and masterful control. As you do so, you create your own reality and the life you have always wanted, will be right there in front of you.
