Default Re: Imagining the tenth dimension

The ten dimensions these videos discuss are the ten dimensions of form. I happen to know from my own experience that not everything in the universe/multiverse has a form. Not by a long shot. In fact, the formless worlds are higher, as anybody with any real experience of meditation can tell you, and as many meditation traditions take pains to affirm. For example, the Buddhist teaching is that there are six different worlds (different levels) of formlessness. These, or their lowest level, are what the Law Of One calls "sixth density". Both the Buddhist and the Vedanta teachings are that the worlds of formlessness lie above the physical, then psychic, then astral, then mental worlds.

As many people have eventually experienced if they got a long way in meditation, there are yet greater worlds even above the formless worlds. As far as I can tell (I haven't read much of the Law Of One), these are the same as what the Law Of One calls the worlds of seventh density, eighth density, and so on up. These worlds were traditionally known as the divine worlds, or the heavens or the degrees of heaven. You enter them in meditation when you get beyond the subject/object distinction. (In other words, when you go to a space where there no longer are such things as objects, even formless objects. ) The lowest of these "infinite" worlds was often called Atman, the second lowest was often called Nirvana, the third lowest was often called something like Meta-Nirvana, the fourth lowest was Brahma, and so on. I could certainly describe what these divine worlds are like in some detail, based on my experiences through meditation. However, suffice it to say that however mind-boggling you might consider the world of ten mathematical dimensions of form to be, these are something quite different and quite considerably more mind-boggling -- though I guess some of the general ideas behind quantum physics are quite relevant to the divine worlds.

Incidentally, most of ancient Greek thought seemed to be based on the concept of form. If that had been less weak (or more universal) a concept, it seems to me that we would have developed a science that was friendlier to the environment, and more generally a more enlightened Western civilisation.
