Hi Senear! (where'd you come up with that name, if you don't mind?)
Yeah, hypercube... it's funny how easy it is to visualise the dimensions before that one.
What's up with that? Does it suggest a practical limit to dimensions? Are there more than 3 attentions?
It's tricky to talk about... for DJ, the abstract is synonymous with spirit.
But for a nondualist, the abstract is psycho-babble.
I don't know if you know what i mean...
A nondualist is present... mind is not actual but is apparent, an abstraction.
Abstractions are of the same psychological (form without substance) self-reflection as the first attention.
We can have abstract maths and 2 tangent the cosine of -1 (I'm not a mathematician) but we never
encounter a -1 in actual present reality.
The idea of the individual separate ego identity/self is also a purely psychological abstraction/invention.
I don't know if you've ever looked for the ego, but it is nowhere to be found.
When we look, all we find are memories of many different events and times which we ascribe some linear
continuity to in order to effect the appearance/phantasm called "I", identity, personal history, etc...
the ultimate inorganic being which feeds on the energy of the actual, present, 2nd attention until it is
nearly imperceptible behind the shadow-image of self-reflection.
Where am i going with this? I don't know!
Just kidding.
My point is, abstractions like the fourth dimension are abstractions for a reason (maybe. sounds good though, huh?).
Perhaps it's nature's way of saying "keep it simple".
When we start abstracting we invent borders and bearded gods and all kinds of sillyness.
The actual dimensions I can experience as a present being, a nondualist, are the attentions.
Except there is a dimension beneath the 1st attention... any thoughtform or belief or word is a dimension within the 1st attention.
These are the ego/tonal's children. Now, if those thoughts start self-reflecting and making babies, you're really screwed.
Examples of the tonal's children might be patriotism, or facebook...
You could say there is a concerted effort these days to entice our attention further and further in that direction...
more dreams within dreams to distract people and keep them fractured. Just an observation - not a judgement.
I don't know really. I mean I intend to see homogeneous consciousness oneness and Presence.
If there are 12 dimensions or whatever, I haven't seen them or needed them yet.
Time is not the fourth dimension as some have postulated. That is, 3d moving in a line of time.
Everything is moving in spirals, not lines. We're on the earth which is spinning and the earth is going around the sun,
which is going around something too... Everything spins in the bigger picture.
Even 3d is created by the brain and isn't actual. Really weird. Scary weird.
We know so little about reality and assume so much.
It's amazing how we perceive these assumptions as reality.
I'm all about the holographic fractaliciousness.
That supports the homogenous oneness view - things are the same, just smaller or larger, shorter or longer,
faster or slower, contracted or expanded, enfolded or unfolded...
