~ Dimension ~

The Notion of Dimension

The generally accepted notion of dimension is so wrong that it firstly needs to be cleared up. A dimension is not a “container” that has things “within” it. No, this so-called “container” refers to a frequency range within the continuum of consciousness. No, dimension is simply a means to an end. This world is not a dimension that we are all living in, the ethereal plane another and the astral plane other still. Dimension is the wrong word to use here. These planes are merely frequency bands, segments or ranges – not dimensions (other than the fact that the plane itself is a means to an end; for example the purpose (dimension) of the physical world is to reveal all things “physical”). Rather, these frequency ranges themselves sport numerous dimensions within them.

Dimension - a means

The various dimensions of instance A are the various means by which that instance is considered. Examples of such means are size, color, weight, and so on.

There are many dimensions in this world alone. In addition to the well-known dimensions of length, breadth, height and time, there are countless others. Just three examples are color, size and weight. All that a dimension does is to assist us in understanding the world about ourselves, thereby enriching our very own souls (remember that the individual soul is actually the embodiment of appreciation). As a result of a “color” dimension for example, one might say that an object is “red”. Without looking through the means of color, one could not say anything about an object's color. Indeed, without the dimension “color” one would not even know what is meant by the term “color”. When the color dimension shows us that an object is “red” Cosmic worth (the concept “red”) is placed on the object, and that worth, being an appreciation, contributes directly towards the essence of the soul – our lives are then enriched by the product of “red” through the dimension of “color”.

In truth, any dimension is how we, as our “lower selves” come to understand Ourselves, the Ultimate Truth, Transcendence. The whole world “about” us is how we appreciate our Purest Essence, Transcendence. So the form is the appreciation of the formless. The appreciation itself is the individual soul – the sum total of all experiences. We thus appreciate Ourselves as a chair, as a table, as an idea, as a car, as an animal and so on. This is the soul – who you are as an individual incarnation.

It is clear then that dimension is the bringer of meaning and understanding, and is therefore what gives substance to consciousness. This substance is energy itself – the building blocks of all creation, for meaningful consciousness is really organized consciousness, which we know to be energy. It is through dimension then that creation has form. Dimension is always the vehicle through which consciousness is corroded/corrupted into lower forms, for dimension merely expresses the higher form into its lower representative, that, in its crude form, blatantly spells out meaning. Dimension is thus the means through which Life comes to man. This is after all how we have come to know of the Ethereal Plane’s role in bringing Life-Force to all living creatures of the physical plane.

Incarnate Types

Speaking of incarnation, in order to obtain a better understanding of the nature of dimension, we first need to have a brief understanding of the nature of each dimension's holder - the spirit entity itself. There are primarily three different types of spirit beings that find their way to this world:

Worldly being

The first type is individual consciousness where an entity is bound to a particular state of being. A good example is an average, incarnate human being that's subject to the laws pertaining to the layer of consciousness to which that human is bound. So this would be an average person living out a normal life.

Spiritual being

The second type of spirit being is one that is more loosely bound to any one particular state of consciousness. These beings thus move from one conscious reality to the next. A good example is a spiritually active person who, through appropriate meditation, can move about in the spiritual aspects to Himself / Herself (these are the spiritual planes). Such people should be able to do the following: see auras, be a medium, frequent the etheric and astral planes, act as channels for healing, see all things as one and the same, possess Universal spiritual enlightenment.

Cosmic Being

The third type of Spirit Being is one that has attained to Self to a sufficient degree so as to possess Cosmic Spiritual Enlightenment manifest as Themselves – the Cosmos. Good examples are those humans that have attained to the Crown Chakra - the manifestation of Self-Attainment.

Because these three categories are each distinct realities, three different definitions for dimension (one for example reality) are given. They are:

Dimension as Manifestation

For a fully incarnate human being dimension is manifestation. For example, if a pen is red, dimension is the reality of the color red pertaining to the pen. When something is manifest, this is dimension – not the results of it. This is why most people call this world a dimension (because the means and the end are regarded to be one and the same). If a person sees a cat for example, they regard the cat to be of the world and not because of the dimensions within the world (such as color – that shows that the cat is black, or texture – that reveals that the cat is fluffy, or size – that reveals that the cat is small).

In error though, the manifestation is found by people to be external to themselves. They thus perceive themselves to be individual and thus “surrounded by” and “contained within” the external world about them, for the whole world seems to come across to them in this way. This is indeed pure illusion, for the only Reality is Self/God, pure Consciousness. What they see are but expressions of Self/God coming across as if “surrounding” them. Here perceiver is not found to be the Creator they deem themselves to be contained within the world, and even deem themselves, too, to be created beings.

Dimension as a means of Manifestation

Dimension can also be regarded as the means through which something is manifest, and not the actual manifestation itself. As already mentioned one such means might be color, another size. If a pen is red, for example, dimension is the way through which the pen is known to have the color “red”. The dimension in this case would thus be “color”, and the manifestation of the dimension, “red”. So dimension here, is the way in which the color red is made known, and not the fact that the color red pertains to the pen as before. Here perceiver is not found to be the Creator since only manifestations are made known, and manifestations, by definition, are external to oneself.

Dimension as a means of Consideration

Dimension can also be the means of consideration. It is thus the way through which something is considered. Again, one such dimension might be color, another size. In our red pen example, dimension here is the way through which the pen is freely considered (but never known) to have the color “red”. If at any stage, dimension is the way through which the pen is known to have the color red, then dimension would be a means of manifestation and not consideration, for only things manifest may be known.

Again, the dimension in this case is “color” and the consideration of that which the dimension is to spawn, “red”. So dimension here, is the way in which the color red is Oneself, and not the way in which the color red is made known, or the fact that the color red pertains to the pen.

Here, the being is Creator since all things, through Will, are considered and expressed as Self. The being is Self-attained, in this case, as the color “red”.

Perception

Dimension is the means of consideration instead of simply the means of perception because consideration is a superset of perception. Perception is done only through consideration. When one perceives, one considers, but when one considers one isn’t always perceiving. For example, one can reflect on Life through the dimension called an “open mind”, but nothing concrete may result from out of it at any particular point in time. So here dimension would only be the means through which life is considered. Now if a thought is spawned, it is concrete and so here dimension would also be the means through which life is perceived. As stated, there is always consideration, but not always perception. Consideration is consciousness, whilst perception is organized consciousness (energy).

Revelation

Similarly, consideration is a superset of revelation. Revelation is similar to perception in that it is a step closer to unbridled consciousness. When consciousness is organized, energy results and is revealed to man, but appreciated only as a perception. A perception is thus a way of appreciation (instilling in the heart of man) a revelation (of God).

For ourselves as incarnate beings, we do indeed walk within the revelation of God, which then makes dimension in this sense to be the means through which things are revealed. At the end of the day, like that of perception, revelation’s purest form remains consideration.

This whole discussion can be summed up as follows:

Through dimension a spirit is created. It’s revealed to man through his faculties of perception, but realized always as Himself, a consideration – the encapsulation of consciousness – personified as the individual soul.

Dimension is Will

Since all things stem from Will alone, Will is the Creator. Now since all things happen through will alone, will is dimension (because something results from out of it). Dimension is thus none other than the Creator Itself. When something comes to you in this world, it does so through the Creator freely expressing it. This is Will, your will. This is dimension. Your will, dimension and the Creator are all one and the same.

Dimensions then are really the various ways of willing things. When you see a red pen for example, you (your Higher Self) are actually willing it to be red. The reason why you cannot change its color simply by willing it is because you cannot use the faculties of the brain, and how it “wills”. No, Will is the Creator. The pen is indeed red because it has been “created” as such. Through the action of Will, the Creator, Transcendence, your Purest Essence, is expressed as Consciousness. When organized, this consciousness is energy. When this energy is organized the organization is such that the color “red” is established. And this is how the pen, through Will, your will (to be alive and see the pen as “red”), gives the color “red” to the pen.

The Brain as a Dimension

There are also other interesting angles on dimension. Take the brain for example. When the brain is the means by which or through which things happen, it is itself a dimension. Not only is the brain a dimension from Mind, the Cosmos, but a dimension to the mind, perpetually creating it in the moment.

The mind is thus expressed through the dimension of the brain. Again, through the brain, the mind is realized or appreciated to be the individual soul here on earth. This soul is simply the sum total of all personal experiences (attained consciousness), and thus the embodiment of individuality. This type of soul, though, is a pure fabrication – a mere product of the brain, set about to personify all that your brain considers to be you.

For a mind incarnate, dimension is the brain, for the brain is the mechanism through which life is manifest and expressed as the mind and personified as the individual soul. The individual soul is the full and only reality of life, for it is the sum-total of all things experienced. This is after all why there is such a concept of the soul in the first place. Something has to represent “the embodiment of all of life”, and that concept is the individual soul – or personality. It is everything that one considers to be oneself.

When one considers an object’s color for example, the envelope of the mind, through the action of the brain, is extended to embrace life in this particular way. Dimension is therefore what fully defines reality. This is of course why the reality of this world is, in error, affectionately referred to as “our dimension”.

Incarnation as Dimension

The various dimensions are the various ways of considering that which they each reveal. You would only consider “colors” through the dimension “color”. Furthermore, the dimension “eye” reveals all aspects of “sight”. At the end of the day, only the dimensions pertaining to man (his senses) bring meaning to him. This meaning is his mind. This is actually his soul, for his soul is the sum-total of all that he considers to be himself. It is the embodiment of his individuality. Man’s senses are actually thus the faculties through which man can know Himself. When you see a flower, for example, know that it is yourself that you see. When you see a murder bring committed, again, know that it is but Yourself that you see. For you see! And Yourself is all that you could ever see. For whatever you see is simply your own consciousness expressed. It cannot be anybody else’s consciousness. It is alone yours. This is after all how life comes to you in the first place. This is what an incarnation really is – a mere expression of your own consciousness. Consciousness what you really are. This is Self/God. It is the highest of all forms. The Purest essence of yourself, however is simply Transcendence, for nothing can Transcend Transcendence Itself. This is the only Truth and everything stems from It, through the action of Will, the Creator. So your will (the will to be alive) expresses you, Transcendence as the world; and the world is the way (dimension) through which you, as a person, come to experience yourself as the world.

Since the highest essence of man that can actually be known is but Pure Consciousness (or Self/God), it is only through his 5+ senses that God is reveal to Man. Since all this ever only happens in the Present moment, the present moment is just another name for “the revelation of God to man”. This, for man, is simply God. But the present moment is actually, for now, one’s incarnation. So one’s incarnation is actually God. God is all things, and all things every only occur in and as the present moment. This is why everything, by default, is a full incarnation of God.

The incarnation of consciousness can be referred to simply as “human consciousness”. Since all things are, at the end of the day, expressed as the mind, I like to call incarnation a “mind incarnate” or an “incarnate mind”. Life is therefore experienced through the brain, expressed as the mind. In the context of an incarnation then, the mind is, for the common man, actually life itself. This is why death is deemed the end of life and is thus so greatly feared. In truth, though, just as one wakes from sleep so too does one die from life.

A human is thus an instance through which the Self/God is known. The human is the dimension through which God is revealed to man. This is the entire nature of and meaning to an incarnation. It is the sole purpose of one's incarnation to view, understand, know, and most importantly become Oneself.

An incarnation exists solely to satisfy a particular means of consideration. It is a way for the Higher Self to consider Itself through the worldly pursuits of the lower self. This is reality – the only means (or opportunity) for a man to see Himself. In this way then, God is perpetually made known. And what is God? God is the whole world! That part of It which is understood is called science; that which is not is aptly termed “God”. The entire purpose of one's incarnation is to know God and to indulge in Its various presentations.

As mentioned, incarnation itself is the very dimension through which to know God. It is probably for this reason that religions aim to explain God to the human mind during a human's lifetime. What many fail to recognize is that God, for mankind, is Itself the present moment alone. To not know this gets the human being to search “after” God whilst missing the fact that God is expressly all things manifest as and in the present moment. To know this is to know God.

Once one has sufficiently appreciated the essence of Self from the vantage point of an incarnate mind, one becomes what is known as an ascended master. An ascended master is a presentation of Self no longer corrupt (altered/expressed) enough to necessitate a re-birth. Once one fully becomes Oneself, there is no further need for any kind of incarnation, for there is not longer the desire to pull you from the Truth. Here one is Nirvana, the meaning of Buddha.

It is a truth most profound that one is always Oneself and never was one not. Becoming Yourself is merely a human privilege – a taste. At the point of death, in terms of worldly judgment, all are equal, for death transcends the illusion of an incarnation – bringing only deliverance.

Manifest consciousness expressed as an incarnation, is teeming with many different means of consideration. So it’s multi-dimensional. To start, we have the five dimensions of the senses, and all their respective dimensions. For example the dimension of sight alone has dimensions color, saturation, hue, brightness, and so on. Furthermore, even the very manifestations of cognitive states are all complete dimensions in their own right since they are all presentations of unique considerations, each contributing to the overall appreciation of the present moment expressed as the individual soul. This is the only way to know God, for the only revelation of God to Man is indeed the present moment, for all things happen only in the moment. Although there are as many dimensions as there are ways of consideration, at the end of the day, the present moment is the embodiment of all contributory dimensions.

Now one’s entire incarnation is a means to an end – a dimension. It is the channel through which all things known are made known. All things are but expressions/corruptions of Self/God manifest through the dimension called an “incarnation”. This reality is but a vibrational state of being just like any of the other spiritual planes. The dimension that manifests life here on earth is commonly known as an incarnation. An incarnation is but the means through which consciousness takes on a form. You are here on earth because you will it so. Will and incarnation are one and the same when it comes to being incarnate – both refer to the dimension (means) through form is expressed. Certainly you exist in countless simultaneous forms, not only as everything else in the gross universe but as everything else all the subtle universes as well. The only thing that separates you from a rock is dimension. The will that expresses the rock is different from the will that expresses your physical body. This why the outcomes are different. The dimension of a rock expresses a rock, whilst the dimension of your physical body expresses your physical body. At a certain point upwards, you and the rock are one. This point is pure energy, or organized consciousness. It is only once the energy itself becomes organized in specific ways that the rock is manifest as one expression of the same energy and your physical bosy another. Your will simply expressed the energy that is you, as both a rock and as your physical body simultaneously. This is why, in essence, you and your neighbor are One. You and God are One. Yes, there is only one thing – Self. This is the purest nature of God. It is but Consciousness.

The Present Moment

All consciousness is manifest only through the present moment. The present moment can be regarded as the final dimension – the one single dimension encapsulating all others. Now since all things happen only in the present moment, and since all things can collectively be referred to as God, the present moment is the only dimension (means) through which God is revealed to man. To this end, the Present moment is, for man, simply another name for “God”. This final dimension can simply be referred to as dimension n.

The nth Dimension

Instance B is the fully encapsulated consideration of instance A.

Before anything existed, there was Instance A – pure unmanifest consciousness. This is Self/God unmanifest. Instance B, the present moment, is created through will, the Creator. This is Self/God manifest. It is nothing but an organization of consciousness. Instance B can thus be affectionately referred to as the revealer of all things. It is thus the revealer of God. So what happens, then, when God is revealed? For incarnate mind, life is what happens. All things in and of this world are thus all revelations or manifestations of God to Man.

Take the development of a young child for example. Instance A starts off as pure unorganized consciousness, unknown to the child. This is God unmanifest. When God manifests as the consciousness that drives the existence of the child, what results may be a toy for example. Instance B is the child’s life through which the toy is manifest, because it is the means whereby the toy is manifest. The child’s life here on earth serves strictly as the dimension through which God is revealed to the child. In this example God comes across as a toy. The toy itself is organized energy as a result of organized consciousness, and is in itself the holistic revelation of God to Man. This is precisely why the toy remains the toy.

The soul is the embodiment of the manifestations of the present moment. It is here that a dimension of God (the toy) can be said to be adopted by the individual soul itself – contributing to its illusive identity. This is of course what gives one the illusion of duality in the first place – where one is regarded to be an individual being separate from all else – the toy and God included. A child looking at a toy for example has this activity as a part and parcel of it’s own soul, for the individual soul is but the embodiment of all things known to the individual. It is therefore everything that makes you, you.

When the child begins to discover things about the toy, such as its color, weight, shape and so on, the envelope of the child’s mind is extended in order to embrace this new-found appreciation of yet another revelation of God to the child - and this of course happens in and as the present moment. Since God is the sustainer of the worlds, the child’s life is held together in the present moment, being for that particular child, the nth dimension – the revealer of newfound discoveries about the toy.

In error one may regard a dimension to “contain” instances. The truth though is that dimensions merely manifest them, for dimensions are really “will in action”. The dimension actually creates everything revealed by it. So it’s not accurate to talk in terms of things “in” our worldly dimension, for example. Rather, we must speak in terms of things being produced by it. Instance A therefore does not reside “in” Instance B. These are two separate instances. Nothing dwells in a dimension, for a dimension is merely the means of consideration. Nothing dwells “within” the Present moment. Rather, the present moment reveals as much as what one knows the present moment to be. This is after all how one comes to define oneself in the first place.

The Soul

Since the soul is the sum-total of all that one considers to be oneself, the soul refers to the essence of individuality. , God (Consciousness) is manifest as all things through and as the present moment (the nth dimension) and represented as the individual soul – the embodiment of all realizations (appreciations) by the individual of that which is manifest.

So when one sees God, the soul represents the results of this activity. The soul is thus loosely known to be God, and can in fact, in error, be termed the “Soul of God”. It is actually not the “Soul” of God. It is the manifestation of God, appreciated to be all that is you – your individual soul. The individual soul is thus the only way through which you know Yourself. In this sense then, it can also be regarded to be a dimension in itself.

The present moment (the nth dimension) reveals God (pure consciousness), to Man as organizations of energy, embodied as the individual soul. One such organization of energy might be “the color red that pertains to a pen” for example. The present moment is therefore the means whereby consciousness is manifest. The manifestation itself is a new instance A, which is again but pure unbridled consciousness. It is God in Its Purest Form.

Self-Realization

Considerations are efforts on the part of the mind to meet the soul - to self-realize. Considerations can thus be viewed as the stones of the “path” to self-realization.

The present moment (the nth dimension) is what entices the mind to self-realize, through the process of consideration, because the mind embodies all that it appreciates about the present moment. This is of course to believe in reality and to indulge well in one’s incarnation, seeing it, not only for the way that it so happens to come across, but also for the way it really is – an illusion to reveal the Truth that so freely spawns it. Because the manifestations of the nth dimension are all encapsulated and personified as the individual soul, the mind is always being pulled towards the soul. This is the fundamental purpose of an incarnation. You will only break the cycle of rebirth once mind is soul.

Embracing the new facets manifest by the nth dimension gives rise to an “evolving” soul where one is regarded on one level of consideration to “evolve” or “advance” across many life times. What is really happening here is the soul is pulling these new entities into itself so that they each become a part and parcel of it. This is after all how your soul came to be where it is at present, having its definition and substance.

Dimension n+1

Dimension n+1 refers to any dimension that produces organized consciousness that falls “just outside” the envelope of one’s currently attained consciousness, the individual soul. The individual soul has already evolved to the point that it freely embodies the products or revelations of the nth dimension, and need only evolve further by adopting the products of any dimension of the order n+1, by claiming ownership of the manifestations of that dimension. Only once the soul takes on these new-found manifestations, does the dimension n+1 come to be considered the nth dimension, God’s only revelation to man, the present moment, for here God is indeed being revealed. It is in this way that dimension n+1 can be said to be “adopted” by dimension n.

Take a sheet of paper for example. Because it exists in the first place, it has in “the past” already been adopted by the soul, and is continuously being revealed, produced and sustained by dimension n, the present moment.

For you to then see that the paper is of a certain color, the dimension “color with regard to the paper”, a dimension of the order n+1, needs to be utilized in order to enrich that which the present moment currently manifests – namely just a sheet of paper.

When this dimension comes to man, the concept of “white” is produced. The mind then goes about rigorously and diligently attaining to a fuller, more meaningful understanding of the concept “white” by comparing it to other things known to be “white”. It is in this way that consciousness is known to exist and to be developed, and is the way in which reality has made its presence so concrete in each our incarnate lives. If we could only recognize and extend these principles, the Kingdoms of Heaven would indeed be known to be the perpetually sustained realities they already are! It is only the mind that separates this world from the Heavens. In Truth, the two cannot be separate. Look about you and behold Heaven/Hell. It is Self – the meaning of God.

I referred to the dimension “color with regard to the paper”, and not simply to the dimension “color” because the attainment of the colors of other things already in the soul has nothing to do with the attainment of the color of the sheet of paper, for the color of the sheet of paper is indeed a new discovery in its own right. We do this all the time. When you see something, you notice its color for example. What’s actually happening here is God is coming to you and manifesting graciously as the color of the object that you are only currently looking at. What you see then is a display of none other than God Itself. It is this interaction between yourself and God that produces your very incarnation. Understanding the nature of incarnation no longer obliges you to undergo the experience of it again and again; for you can now clearly see God to a sufficient degree so as not to compel yet another rebirth!

Because the nth dimension, the present moment, has now adopted dimension n+1, the color of this particular piece of paper, this particular piece of paper’s color is said to have been produced and sustained by God. Dimension n+1 is embraced by dimension n, the revealer of a particular individual’s experiences. It is in this way then, that different aspects of God come to and are embraced by various individuals. It is this alone that makes us each unique. It is for this reason too, that we each die alone.

Dimension n+1 can be seen to be the means whereby one attains to Self. It thus refers to Will, the Creator. The expression of Self though, occurs always through the nth dimension, the present moment, as the created.

Attributes

Attributes are properties, elements or characteristics. The attributes of an instance that was produced by the nth dimension are all instances “produced” by dimension n+1. They are characteristics not yet known, and thus cause the mind to venture. Attributes are what in the first place, caused the “Fall of Man”, through the attainment of a mind that was curious because of the intelligence that drove it. In our example above, an incarnation is the mechanism that graces the discovery of the paper’s being “white”. The color is an attribute, a characteristic of the paper, and an incarnation holds out for long enough for this to be embraced as the illusive individual lower self, the soul. This is after all the purpose of an incarnation – to know Self/God to be all things.

Attributes

Instance A in the nth dimension has its respective attributes in the respective dimensions, each an (n+1)th dimension. Saying anything about A's color is found in the 'Color' dimension, one dimension away from A. Similarly, saying anything about A's shape is found in the 'Shape' dimension, again an (n+1)th dimension. The discovery of anything about A is an attribute of A and it dwells within the dimension through which the discovery was made.

It is completely true that you will never die until You are ready, just as it was when You came to this world. Indeed nothing at all will happen to you unless You specifically will it, for this is the nature of consciousness, your consciousness, that drives your reality. Know that all things expressly rise from out of consciousness through will alone. All this is the action of what can be termed your “Higher Self”. Your lower self of course has no say in this. It is but a puppet, a channel, a dimension.

Attained consciousness is attracted to consciousness not yet attained and attributes are what point the way ahead. They pose the avenue to increased self-realization. So the soul pursues them rigorously - to the point of incarnations and the like. Incarnations are nothing but a hankering after attributes, for attributes are meaning, and meaning, desire.

Attributes give form and substance. All that come from dimension are in fact attributes. One can then say that meaning comes from dimension. And because we are expressions of all things manifest, we are in fact pure embodiments of meaning. Meaning is the essence of individuality. This is perhaps why the soul is so dearly held by man. Indeed the entire purpose of an incarnation, including the incarnation itself, is to establish purpose amongst the void.

It is perhaps for this very reason that our vibrational frequencies are so low so as to establish concrete law and meaning in the Cosmos. So low our vibrations and so structured our organization of consciousness, that the physical universe is spontaneously spawned. It is thus direct evidence of the extent of our thirst for meaning. Since intelligence is that part of the Cosmos over which the brain has no control, highly intelligent people are usually profoundly sad, for their own brain’s are perpetually unsettled by this. It takes intelligence of note to break free from this madness! Such intelligence is not of Man.

Realization of an instance’s attributes is none other than the attainment of consciousness. It is for this reason then that attributes are what strictly define the soul. After all, the soul is indeed a collection of properties, elements, characteristics and the like. It is a collection of all meaning concerning the present moment. It therefore brings home the meaning of God to Man. This is after all why we are all here, is it not?

In Summary
