Our respective realities are based on internalized mythologies. We are living worlds of dimensions that we hold personally and independently. You don't understand what I am saying do you! Let me explain.We see evidence of an additional dimension as a barrier that we cannot ultimately cross for whatever reason. Over time, man has broken away at the dimensions impacting on his awareness and has reduced them into known dimensions. Unlike a worm, man has eyes that can see in three dimensions, but unlike a bat cannot see in the dimension of sound. One might ask whether man can see because like a bat man emits light that returns with an image of what forms a dimension out there, outside the brain.
Certainly, we can imagine man emitting light within the brain to create the dimension of dreams and inner visual thoughts like projections on a canvas within the brain. We even know the times of day and conditions when we can do this best. We know that we project light into inner regions of our brain and into the very fibers of our reality, but we don't know how this happens or even where this happens in time.
We think of our dreams as occurring in present time, in the now, but we only know for sure that the machinery of our brain is active in the present in the now. we do not know whether our inner vision crosses into past or future time. The dimensions of the mind thus entrap man into thinking that his reality is structured in a predictable way, but that is only because we have learned how to record events of the past and learned how to project series into the future.
We know the past and the future do not exist, or we think that they don't exist because we have a mythology of our reality that tells that we cannot be effective in the past and that we can only guess at our effectiveness in the future. But, is this just a mythology, or is it really our reality.
No! It is the mythological basis of our respective reality. We live within our mythologies and rarely get in touch with our realities. Our technologies, however, and our innovations in particular break away at our dimensions and enlarge them, so that they are increasingly unified as a single dimension. We think of our present reality as occurring in three dimensions, but we are now increasingly sure that it occurs in one dimension. What has happened?
Man thought of the earth as being flat and having regions that were unreachable. We now know that the earth is spherical and that all regions are reachable.
The mythology of the flat earth has disappeared as we grapple with the mythology of the universe, a world in which we are alone. But, we have clues that man on the earth is not alone and, in fact, man is crowded into a bigger world that we are accelerating towards at an alarming rate. The culture shock of the next mythology is tearing apart our current mythology of a single universe. The single big bang mythology is being replaced by a new mythology of billions and billions of reoccurring big bangs. We are becoming part of another dimension that we never knew about, or even imagined, a century ago.
