When we talk about “everything,” the words we use – “The world,” “the universe,” “reality” – mislead, and you can’t just throw in a paragraph of I-Mean-This-When-I-Use-This-Word without destroying the flow of the thought. So I guess I’ll have to invent a word for us to use.
[Rita:] Try “the All-D.”
Meaning both the 3D and the non-3D. Well, we’ll see if it works out. We are meaning to convey, as a concept, “everything.” Not only all physical reality but all non-physical reality as well. So rather than say “creation” – which implies only the 3D universe – or “the universe” – which may imply the astronomical usage – or “the world” – which certainly would leave people uncertain as to what we mean – we hesitated. Rita’s usage amounts to seeing the spiritual and physical worlds as organic, living, rather than seeing the physical world as mostly dead and the spiritual world as either living or (the materialist position) non-existent.
It is one thing to see the 3D world as mostly dead and the non-3D as non-existent. It is a second thing to see a mostly-dead 3D and a living non-3D. a very different third thing to see the 3D as fully alive, cooperating with and interacting with (and indeed being a part of) a living non-3D.
The all-D is alive. It is conscious. It seems to have purpose and will inherent in its nature. This is what mystics sometimes realize but rarely are able to describe and even more rarely are able to explain. Indeed, perhaps it can’t be explained at all, merely realized. It is what some call an all-pervasive God, the pantheistic or panentheistic position. People’s incomplete perception of the truth produces division in their opinions, divisions that cannot be bridged at the level they hold them.
Some people believe in God, and no matter what form that belief takes, it amounts to a sense of the all-D’s inherent living purposiveness without a sense of its indivisibility or its comprehensive consciousness.
Others believe only in what their sensory apparatus reports to them, which amounts to blindness to the non-3D and to the non-sensory interconnections within 3D, let alone the connections between the 3D and the (unperceived and hence presumed-to-be-nonexistent) non-3D.
Others believe in 3D and non-3D but do not believe in the purposive nature of the all-D, and may call themselves “spiritual but not religious.” They do not experience the 3D as inherently conscious necessarily.
Good enough to begin with. The point here is that we are exploring the nature of reality from a particular point of view that needs to be firmly established if anyone is going to be able to get anything new from it. It is one thing to be religious, another to be “spiritual but not religious,” a third to be materialist. We are postulating a fourth position that differs from any of these in the one vital respect of seeing All-D as a unity of conscious (hence, obviously, alive) parts. The difference doesn’t so much invalidate any of those other orientations as demonstrate them to be partial. They are each a way of seeing things, but are each an incomplete way; hence the conflict among them.
So let me ask: Does All-D mean All-That-Is, or are there different levels to be considered?
We are describing the world from TGU’s point of view. It may be that there are wheels within wheels, and indeed, there must be. Remember, any view puts into focus only what is at the scale of the viewer.
We have been given clues in scriptures and metaphysics, and we have to keep coming back to, “As above, so below.” We can have confidence that the All-D repeats at different scale, essentially as a fractal. But anything beyond our range is, by definition, beyond our range. We cannot know
I keep forgetting that this is The World As Seen by TGU.
This is intended to be a complementary approach to TGU’s view of “the world as experienced by consciousness limited to 3D. Complementary views allow you to shift perspective, and get to the view beyond perspective.
