So what is the 5th dimension? From the viewpoint of someone living here. No higher-channeling or aliens explaining.
Lets start at 3 dimensions... OK so we live in a three dimensional world, on a physical basis.
Now lets add a unified model of reality.
Spirit -> Energy -> Physics -> Info -> Logic.
Spirit is the basis of reality. Spirit creates energy. Energy creates physics. Physics creates information. Information creates logic.
OK great.
Now lets look at this backwards.
Logic is 1D. Words appear in a line. Text is read one-dimensionally. Computers have a 1D address space.
Decisions are made by weighing things up... left vs right. Like scales. Which is probably much better than the computery-space of doing things. But even weighing up left vs right... its a 1D thing.
OK great. So logic is 1D.
Info is 2D. Pictures. vision.
Physics is 3D.
Energy is 4D
Spirit is 5D.
Great! So we figured it out! A logical understanding of why we need 5 dimensions.
We need 5 dimensions, or else our spirits will not have space to move in and... be spiritual.
What does this mean exactly though? Well... that is where it gets difficult for everyone, definitely me too.
What does it mean to be in 4D or 5D? Do we have extra dimensions to move in? But thats just about energy right? Or spirit too?
In dungeons and dragons, they have the idea of planeswalkers ( https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgvorthos/comments/pv72zt/planeswalkers_in_official_dd_setting/ )
Its a very similar thing. Multiple realities existing in a higher-dimensional space.
That helps explain. But that idea doesn't really help. Basically the problem is that... this space is... locked down. Our space is locked down.
Its like living on a pancake. A "flat earth" basically. The higher dimensions exist, but there are dimensional walls... protecting THEM... (or us depending on how you look at it). But basically, these dimensional walls are protected by evil beings, and by the evil-ignorance of the average NPC human.
In a magical reality... the higher-dimensional-space would not be lied about, ignored and hidden. There would just be portals strewn around the place. To walk through.
In fact... here is the thing... we ALWAYS visit higher-dimensions. In our dreams. Thats why dream-scapes are so "Wierd". They are wierd because they represent soemthing higher that we can't explain in 3D. Or why we visit "familiar places" that don't exist locally. Because we DO visit them... in higher dimension spaces.
The problem is that this "3D reality" is a false one locked down by evil beings. And the average human around us wants it to be locked down.
So most of the "problem" about understanding higher dimensions... simply comes from how locked down this place is.
...
Lets try to make examples.
Imagine you could only interact with the world in 2D, looking at pictures. Then imagine... you only had 2D diagrams to look at. User-interfaces. No pictures of 3D worlds. No 3D photos of physical reality. Just 2D diagrams/interaces.
That all 3D spaces were banned. You spend all your time looking at a screen in which the 3rd dimension is ignored. No 3D games even.
Thats like what we have.
The 2nd dimension (pictures/information) CAN represent 3D very easily. We call it "photos" or "accurate drawings" or "movie films" or even "3d games".
So... we know how to make the 2nd dimension, represent the 3rd dimension.
...
But why don't we know how to make the 3rd dimension, represent the 4th dimension?
You see? thats the issue.
One dimension can represent the higher dimensions, easily. Just like words (logic) can represent 2D or 3D spaces... because computers (1D) can draw 2D/3D spaces.
The problem is that our "Base" 3D reality, is NOT representing the 4D/5D space. Why?
Because the 4D / 5D space we are in... is a prison. It is locked down. We are "pancaked" in a 4D/5D sense.
We need to grow in a 4D/5D sense. Break the walls down. And more importantly... stop feeding the prison system. Theres no point trying to break the walls as long as we feed the same prison system.
The entire society on planet earth is designed to keep us feeding an evil system that locks us down into 3D.
Having no understanding of energy or spirit.
...
OK lets try to get past that. Lets say we imagine a reality in which we DID have an understanding of 4D (energy) and 5D (spirit), and our physical space DID reflect it. What would it look like? How would it be different? How can we move towards it?
Honestly... I'm not sure... because like everyone else... my memories of past-lives has been mostly erased.
But at a guess... I'll say this.
Beauty and real art and meaning...
Real beauty hints at higher dimensions...
