The Out-of-Body Experience as Dimensional Translocation
Jim DeKorne looks at the scientific theories that ?prove? the existence of other
dimensions ? strange worlds inhabited by alien life forms.
"Pause for a moment and try to imagine four-dimensional space. It is right
next to you, but in a direction you can't point to. No matter how well hidden
you may be, a four-dimensional creature can see you perfectly well, inside and
outside". -- Rudy Rucker, The Fourth Dimension
"How might these beings be even dimly aware of our presence, if we normally
don't have an inkling of theirs? Once more, we're treading on extraordinarily
thin ice by even thinking about explanations for this phenomenon. The mere need
to attempt an understanding shows us how far afield our thinking has come". --
Rick Strassman, M.D., DMT, The Spirit Molecule
"If these men are correct, then physics is the study of the structure of
consciousness". -- Gary Zukav, The Dancing Wu Li Masters
Consensus reality in the "real world" is founded upon corporeal entities
beholding three-dimensional space. When out-of-body explorers or UFO abductees
claim that they passed through solid walls during their experiences, they are
contradicting perhaps the most fundamental perceptions of human observers.
Scientism condemns such assertions as either fraudulent or hallucinatory
because if they were accepted as legitimate, our entire conception of reality
would collapse - an appalling prospect, challenging the credibility of all
self-appointed official observers. Nevertheless, when faced with such an
abundance of anomalous data any fearless spectator might suggest that our
concepts of dimensional location need to be re-evaluated and clarified.
At its simplest, the experience of three-dimensional space is the awareness of
three perpendicular axes: North-South, East-West and Up-Down (e.g., a cube).
Two-dimensional space (a flat plane) contains only two of these axes, and
one-dimensional space consists of only one axis - a single line.
Time is also a dimension, though not a spatial one; however, it is a necessary
extension to our awareness of space, and so we normally describe our reality as
three dimensions of space, plus one dimension of time - the so-called
"four-dimensional space-time continuum." Even small children can understand this
because we spend all our lives living within its confines: it's an experience so
commonplace and taken-for-granted that we never really think about it. (It is,
after all, our consensus reality).
