Time and Eternity, the sixth dimension, Alette Matei

Time, Eternity, and the Sixth Dimension

The fifth dimension is an endless line or loop of time, and the sixth a cube or sphere of all moments. This sixth dimension contains all choices, spreading out and infinitely repeating in eternity. This may be the true meaning of free will. All that we can conceive and do is contained in the sixth dimension. Any choice we make is valid, and any choice we did not make, any line we did not take, exists also. Extending into infinity.

Recurrence, Higher Dimensions, and Time Travel

If reincarnation and recurrence exist, which seems likely to me, then we will be able to travel to the future and the past. Only first we have to do the work of the moment; we have to be present and use our attention and focus to fashion a lighter and more durable vehicle.

Really, we are all time travelers, and our physical bodies are the time machines that we so badly want to invent.

The steward, perspectives on awakening

Perspectives on Awakening

Fate or Sin?

Is it fate or sin, what the steward undergoes? Sin Distances Us from the Whole In ancient Greek, the verb “αμαρτάνω”- “amartano” (I sin) means that I do not have a share; I am apart from the whole, a non-participant. While the opposite verb “μείρομαι” – “meiromai” means that I have a share. I am […]

Balancing Knowledge and Being, Gurdjieff

Knowledge and Being

“The balance between knowledge and being is even more important than a separate development of either one or the other. And a separate development of knowledge or of being is not desirable in any way. Although it is precisely this one-sided development that often seems particularly attractive to people. “If knowledge outweighs being a man […]
