Ascension- The Shift from 3D to 5D Consciousness
Imagine for the moment, there existing a vastly complex system containing of a community of dots, interacting amongst themselves on an infinitely spanning two-dimensional plane, complete with it’s respective horizontal and vertical x, and y x axis, both reaching out into infinitum.
The effect isn’t too difficult to fathom; one could even make a rough sketch of this, drawing a line from top to bottom and from side to side, those lines, expanding off the sheet of paper and having no end to them, while plotting a number of dots therewith. And as for the dot, it does not matter if it is a polka-dot, or a two-dimensional rendering of the God particle, or of a subatomic cell, so long as it is a dot.
Now let us add another dimension to this hypothetical model. For the moment try and fancy that each of these dots had their various roles or functions within said plane, and that this emerged as a kind of parabolic arch, with a cluster of dots forming very near the potion of the plane where x and y converged, slightly rising and extending outward. Those dots in the bottom most corner lead a very static and menial existence, hardly moving about to themselves. They are the slaves in the allegorical rendering of Plato’s allegory of the case; content with the way that things are and, accepting that this is just the way things go.
Center stage is another cluster of dots that move all about the plane, interacting and engaging with one another. In a way they are figures that create for the shadows on the wall. The are the makeup of this society and community, and consist of what is right and acceptable, and this is the norm. They are of the belief that through hard work and productivity great change can come about, leading to a better dot existence.
And then far of the the opposite extreme as in the first instance, exist a point where there lay a group of outliers and anomalous dots. These dots too remain motionless in this quadrant, but not in content, or laziness, or in rebellion, or anything of the sort. These are the hypothetical philosophers to the group. For whatever reason, they are not content with the whole of it, they see past the figures on the wall, and they feel that there is something more to all of it, so they spend their time in idle contemplation fixated on awareness. You are part of this group. You are the philosopher trying to make its way through the perverbial cave.
Then one day, in your meditation, it comes to be that you awaken. Not just as if your eyes had just lifted into consciousness to start a new day, but in every sense of the word. Your immediate reaction is to question to yourself as to whether or not you have died and entered into some euphoric dot heaven, or if rather, you had been slipped some amazing dot hallucinogens; for you have awaken to a new dimension of being, there all alone to yourself, you observe a world unlike anything you could have ever imagined.
Now as it were, you are no longer simply a dot, living a relatively simple dot existence from day to day. You have awaken to a reality where you have another dimension to you. Not only do you have the length and width that you had been so accustomed to, but now, it should seem that you have depth to you, and that you have transformed into this wondrous thing. You have become a sphere.
And not only have you come to find that you have transformed from a dot into a sphere, but you find that the whole of your know reality has metamorphasized itself as well, and has with it a new depth and dimension. It is as if an entirely new infinity spanning plane has been added to the other, reaching out in the parallel direction, and not only that but the entirety of it rotates on it’s axis, and you delight in this fact. You are no longer limited to mere restricted movements of up and down, and side to side, but now you can sort of swirl and swivel around as you would like, and movement itself too has taken on an entirely new shape.
Your mind is quite literally blown as the expression goes. However, amidst the thrill and excitement of it all, once again, you find yourself to come to a complete standstill, and you pause in all of your wondrous folly. It dawns on you the revelation that occurred that allowed for this marvelous evolution. And if you stop to think about it, you recon that in said knowing, that you can make it happen again. And not only that, but, you wager that it will take place at a more rapid and accelerated pace, now that you’re awareness and consciousness has been brought to the necessary ingredients to allow for it.
And so it came to be, that in this heightened spherical awareness, you decided to place your sense of consciousness and attention at this point of reference, and sure as day, it was made apparent to you that through the added dimension of time and space, that there were many many other forms that you could take, such as a glome, an n-sphere, or a hypersphere, as you reached out into higher dimensions of reality, closer and closer to the very essence of infinity. And not only that, but through this process that you could exist on multiple different planes of reality and of being.
It is here than you come to a disheartening revelation and dilemma which is the dilemma of every philosopher. In your enlightenment, could there possibly be a way that you could regress back to a mere two-dimensional dot, and back to the community that you had previously mentioned? And if so, could you teach and lead the others to a similar process, to a similar existence. Or, would they even believe you, or would it be the case that they’d categorize you as a madman or dot, and have you locked away for civil unrest? You want all of the dots to have this experience, but you have no idea how to create for that. It would require creating for new language, because there would be completely new ideas and concepts that dots are not accustomed to, and it would require relating it in terms they understand, and a series of other complicated challenges, and this becomes your new meditation.
This analogy is leveraged to depict an incredulous phenomenon that has been observed by many, and that has been ongoing for quite some time now. In the context of new age spirituality, we might refer to this as the age of ascension, referring to the rise of individual, global, and ultimately cosmic consciousness. Interestingly enough, we see a convergence point where spirituality and modern physics are beginning to be idiosyncratic and almost synonymous with one another, for the vantage point and beliefs expressed in this movement relate with such scientific notions as string theory or that of the quantum realm of physics. This of course being a shift from 3D consciousness to that of a 5D Consciousness. But in the midst of all of this what does that actually mean and what does it look like?
At first, it could understandable be somewhat off-putting that there could exist additional dimensions outside the three that we readily perceive on a day-to-day basis. However, the language for this has already been made manifest in scientific terms, through the field and study of String and similarly hyper string theory.
According to Physicists, all spatiotemporal considerations, that is, all aspects pertaining to relative space and time manifolds allow for and act as a sort of fourth dimension in and of itself, that not only surrounds all three dimensional objects, but that through extension collects all living things. We are as integral to time and space, as it is integral to us, just as we are quite literally made up of the stuff of stars; essentially that we are the universe experiencing itself in infinite manifest forms through our own particular frame and reference point of consciousness.
Expanding a little beyond that in lay mans terms, string theory stipulated that there is a very high probability that there exist many other dimensions to our reality outside of our perceivable three-dimensional world; typically these models range to a hypothetical universe that is of a 9–12 dimensional manifold, although there are other theories that speculate that there could very well be as many as 26 or more, with each dimension having to sort of curl up on itself, as it were, and becoming much more complicated that the previous, and ever closer to the very essence of infinity. This is essentially what Stephen Hawking eluded to in, The Theory of Everything, for this theories quite literally attempt to try and tie everything together; space, time, gravity, quantum mechanics, and all aspects as they relate to our laws of Physics at this time. At a glance, this is what is speculated of the other dimensions to our existence.
As was previously mentioned, the fourth dimension is an extension of the third, and is made manifest to us through the relativity of space time, as it exists across all manifolds throughout the known universe, or, quite possibly, the multi-verse.
Beyond that lies the fifth-dimensional universe, that has been observed in noted in both science and spirituality alike. To simply describe this dimension of reality, imagine there existing for example, Earth as it is. Then, all of a sudden it appeared that it underwent a kind of mitosis or cell division, where from this process, emerged another Earth that coincided with the original. Or, similarly, to try an envisage a kind of hologram existing in conjecture with what we know as earth; one that is of a higher frequency, and vibration, as well as at a different gravitational field and electromagnetic field. Now take this idea, and incorporate it with all of the universe and its accompanying celestial bodies.
It is speculated that from this fifth-dimension of reality, that one could view this other earth, or galaxy, or insert astrological object here, from a point what could be referred to as no-time, and observe all possible realities and timelines, from our beginning point in singularity. For instance, a timeline or reality where the Nazi’s won the war, or where the Titanic didn’t sink. Or one where the Dinosaurs never got erased from the fabric of time and existed in coexistence with humans, and any other of infinite other alternative realties that are possible. And from this vantage point, we would come to see that time is in fact malleable, and that there exist any number of possible timelines for any given event or occurrence.
From here, string theory goes on to speculate that as we enter the sixth dimension of reality, that what we would begin to see take place would be an added plane to reality. So instead of a new earth being created next to its counterpart, what we would see would be that of a plane of infinite earth or astrological bodies. That each of these bodies had the same beginning point of singularity, and each onto itself carried with it any one of infinite numbers of possible realities. So one reality could be very much similar to the one adjacent to it save for a change in one or two slight deviations in the inherent variables. For instance, one with all the parameters that we experience in our very real subjective reality, and another where, say, money is not an issue, and we do things for the betterment of humanity.
Beyond that, we would observe a similar model in the seventh dimension, only from that point of reference, the key difference would be an infinite plane of possible worlds and realities where each one carried with it a different beginning. So there would exist all the possible planes of reality for the event known as singularity, and that beyond that also existed alternative beginnings to the known universe, with that variable alone being as infinite as the range of possible alternative worlds and realities, timelines, and so on and so forth.
As we arrive at the eight dimension we begin to deal with what Physics refers to as histories and infinities, for a similar plane of world and realities from differing initial points of creation is consisted, but, we see the emergence of an additional field where each one of these branches out infinitely in it’s own direction. Once we reach the ninth dimension, the idea is that we get another replicated model of what we could expect in the eight dimension, only in this instance, would be the additional plane that would allow for comparing all possible realities. And finally, in the tenth dimension, what we would see is that of a universe were everything possible and imaginable can take place; the very essence of infinity. For instance their could be an additional plane of the universe where the predominate sentient life consisted of humanoid catlike creatures, and so on and so forth, to a plane where the laws of physics do not apply, where there is no life in the universe, or where all of the universe is made up of the body of a Praying mantis. Really there is no end, and in fact, it goes well beyond the scope of anything that we could imagine. That is the scientific explanation of what is being observed in our current epoch of humankind.
Again, it should be noted that at each of these higher dimensions of reality, it is required that that the scoped of it sort of curls up onto itself. For some time, this matter presented itself as a great obstacle for those Physicists concerned with string theory, however, the solution presented itself in the idea of what is termed as compactification. On a rudimentary level, this defines the way that extra dimensions have a tendency to curl up as if around each other, growing infinitesimally smaller in each case of compactification, to the point that they are almost impossible to detect. This gave rise to what is now referred to a the Calabi-Yau manifold, the figures of which is depicted below. Now that we have examined the scientific perspective of the state of things in the known universe, let us now dive into how this correlates with modern day sentiments of spirituality.
Fundamentally, this is an issue of consciousness, as it relates to what is referred to as the second hermetic principle, as found in the ancient maximum, As Above, So Below. In principle the second hermetic law states that there exists a harmony or correspondence on all levels of existence. That, is the smaller or microscopic picture mirrors and parallels the larger macroscopic one.
Can you be conscious of your sense of consciousness? That is, to place your awareness on awareness itself? It is the trademark of sentience itself; to be aware of both an internal and an external existence.
In the grand scope of things, humanity as we know it is but a bat of an eye in the history of the universe. To this end, consciousness as we know and define it has only accounted for about .000168 percent of this observable universe.
As our perceivable consciousness expands what is taking place is that we are becoming aware of our own multi-dimensionality. We are the dot awakening to other dimension of reality. The larger cosmic picture is that the universe itself is conscious and aware of itself; this is cosmic conscious. The universe itself is multi-dimensional, and we ourselves are multi-dimensional beings; as above, so below; and we are seeing this on all levels; an individual, global, and cosmic consciousness, and from this, we see how all things are truly interconnected.
What we are observing is an unprecedented shockwave reverberating out across the entire spectrum, and on all levels of existence. We are quite literally seeing string theory amalgamated with quantum theory in action.
It is consciousness itself that is rising or ascending. Consciousness itself creates the material world around us, and we are becoming more and more aware of this fact; more self-aware, and attentive to the self-aware universe in response to the proverbial Om of I AM, and it is this that is also being called our great awakening.
So, on the individual level, there is a great awakening. The individual wants to free and liberate itself from the dualistic, selfish, ego-centered, fear-based material world and self-serving matrix and grid of 3D consciousness. It is a tumultuous spiritual awakening, and we are being ever confronted with the fact, on all fronts, scientific and spiritual, that there are more dimensions to our reality. And just as Physics provides the defining characteristics of each dimension to reality, so too is the case in the context of the great awakening and in the narrative of spirituality.
The Third Dimension of Reality
What we generally see here in the third dimension of reality, is a existence that is centered on materialism. On this level, that overwhelming focal point of conscious awareness is on that of the acquisition and consumption of raw materials. And this becomes the primary motivating factor behind the things that we do on every level; the education that we receive, the career the we pursue, the social relationships that we make, all cater to what can possibly give us a better leg up in the acquisition of more stuff, to which we are never truly satisfied. It is like the unobtainium that the colony from Avatar searches for but can never have enough of, and we create a problem in that we expect that having more will make us happy, and we run into the problem that we look to the external world for our happiness, that some thing will give us what we are all longing for, when the secret is by turning ones awareness within.
Also synonymous with the third dimension is a great divide that occurs across two different fronts the first of which is found in the context of separation. From this plane, the individual has forgotten that separation is an illusion. The individual finds themself to be separate onto themselves across all levels; they are separate from each other, from the environment, from the planet, with the universe, and ultimately separated from God, and the God source within.
And in machiavellian prowess, are attention is made to focus on this separation with increasing propensity, and is made to be further propitiated in the context of our societal and cultural frameworks. We are divided and separate in all areas of life. The politics of things have us focus on what separates us, rather than what we have in common or what brings us together, which is the source of our true power. From this place, we are divided based on the color of our skin, our social class, the level of education, our occupational status, the different sicknesses, diseases, and ailments that we have, on our sexual preferences, and it would seem that we fall under different categorically boxes across every level of existence.
The other great divide that defines the third dimension is found in limiting dualistic beliefs and dichotomies. We have it deeply instilled into us from an early age in all areas of our lives to perceive life through the lens of highly exaggerated extremes of polarity and duality. It is a world of either ors. Things are inherently good or bad, black or white, light as opposed to darkness, love as it relates with hate, happiness and sadness, and so on and forth seemingly into infinitum. We view reality in these terms, without the varying shades of grey, or in terms of a vast spectrum including the whole gamut of possibilities which is perhaps a more accurate faculty of life, or at least a higher vibrational one.
In the same way, another defining characteristic of a three dimensional state of consciousness is found in the notable relationship that can be found in a world that is fueled not only by fear and anger, as it relates with the other conditions that are innately three-dimensional, but as it relates on how this plane of existence is categorized by sense of character defined by the ego.
Fear seemingly permeates throughout all areas of our lives. It is a rare occasion when we are totality in the current moment, or in the present, for we tend to live in a perpetual state of angst as it relates to acquisition of material; angst over whether or not we will keep or lose or jobs, are relationships, or whatever else that we have; an angst over whether we will gain or lose said resources. These based feelings are further pressed against, as the media tells horrendous stories of violence, mass shootings, and a seemingly endless narrative that relates to us how terrifying the world is, and that we are only safe in the contexts of our homes. And from the contexts of our homes, we take in the popular culture of media that desensitizes us to violence, and that conveys to us the necessity for such things as war, which of course is to keep us safe from some foreign enemy. And in the same way, our feelings are manipulated through the means of our separateness; and we get angry at the neighbor for harboring different political or religious beliefs, or any other thing that separates them from the sense of self or ego.
This touches on the way that our culture and society is geared for stroking the ego, and the relationship that this has with fear, anger, and more of the more base, primal, and animalistic urges within ourselves. In our competitive capitalistic world, which is a motivating force for materialism, we have to be winners, and better than, superior, and constantly setting out to satisfy our sense of self, and our ego based identity. And it is on this level that service to self is promoted, and service to others is looked down on. It is because of this that we don’t like to ask for help; we our tough manly man’s that can do it ourself, which only acts to create a further divide between divine masculine and feminine energy; men should not show strong emotion, and appear on any level as feminine and vice versa. And this is inherently the case because the lower chakras, which ore so extremely underdeveloped as a result of these ramifications, are responsible for said base feelings as they are associated with anger, fear, guilt, shame, and others of this similitude, just as the lower chakras are the centers of the ego, which the higher one’s are responsible from transcending it on a healthy level. As a result, what we see is energetically is a reality that is of a very low frequency and vibration; one that is very dense and negatively charged, and that is further fueled by all of these defining characteristics. And this is the reality of a three dimensional existence.
The Fourth Dimensional Plane
At a slightly more elevated state of consciousness, is what we can typically expect from our describe as the dream world. Here, the dream world is a term that can be used interchangeably in what has been observed by many as the astral plane; the very same realm of reality that each and every single one of us experience nightly in deep states of REM sleep through none other than our dreams. While most of us only visit this realm in our sleep, there are those highly trained individuals that are able of accessing this plane of reality at will during the day. Because the truth of the matter is that this plane constantly surrounds all of us at any given moment. Just as the natives believed, there is only but a thin veil that ever separates the physical world from the dream or spiritual. And, more often than not, accessing it requires for a sort of out of body experience.
In civilizations past, what we generally saw was that it was the shamans and mediums from differing cultures that would set out and journey to these elevated planes of consciousness. While this typically involved using some hallucinatory drug, plant, or even the incorporation of a sacred ritual or kind of trance, the empirical insights that they gained from these experiences were unprecedented. As one gets more involved in a more spiritually centered life, set out the intention that the spiritual beliefs of the natives is made manifest into your life, because with them, comes a lot of valuable insights from this level of reality.
It is interesting to note that as we rise in the different dimensions of reality, at least from this spiritualistic vantage point, that we see an striking similarity here as it juxtaposes with the thoughts of Physics as it relates to string theory. In the case of String Theory, the fourth dimension of reality is provided to us through the presence of spatiotemporal considerations of time and space. More specifically, through the observations that were made by Einstein in his theories of relativity. This is perhaps best see through the remark that he made in that time was a stubbornly persistent illusion. Or similarly, in his statement that, “Time is nature’s way to keep everything from happening all at once. ‘Time and space are modes by which we think, and not conditions in which we live.”
The stubbornly persistent illusion that Einstein was of course referring to, was as it relates to our very psychological construct of time, and the way we view time linearly in terms of past, present, and further. This was his way of noting the infinite now, and how anything that will ever take place will happen in the now; that is that there only ever is right now, and this is the basic perspective of the fourth dimension in Physics.
On the spiritual level, the similarity is found in that the notion of time also begins to change slightly on this level as well. While time is still experienced linearly, time itself begins to become more fluid, almost in the similitude that one can expect from in the case of fluid dynamics, and as the name would suggests, the things experienced are more dream like or surreal on this level.
What we find in this slightly more elevated state of consciousness is the perfect breeding ground of learning a lot about the self. It’s sort of like how when individuals participate in the use of explicit drugs, the recommendation is that you don’t do it when you are in a negative head space, because you are going to have a really bad trip. It is the same here, depending on one’s energy, this can either be a world of nirvana, euphoria, and bliss, or one that is a horrendous and terrifying nightmare.
Here we connect with the spirit, or the higher self, and often it provides us with a connection to the collective conscious through the use of familiar symbols, and in so doing allows us to examine our beliefs, opinions, feelings, and the way that we relate to the collective in our reactions to said symbology.
Here we see another undeniable correlation as it relates to the higher dimensions of both science and spirituality. The language of science tells us that the higher dimensions provide us with a means to view other kinds of alternative realities; at least as it relates with entire worlds, galaxies or even entire universes for that matter. Is this not also the case in the context of the dream or spirit realm. In the dream state, as in the fourth dimension, everything is possible, and we can dream a nice little dream of any number of seemingly infinite possibilities of differing kinds of life we can live. It is here that we get a taste of our multi-dimensional nature, in that the belief is that in our dream state, or in the astral plane, we are actually awake and interacting at higher levels of consciousness. That we also exist in some other reality or dimension, and what we dream gives us some context as to what is taking place on that level. That aside, the sort of bridge to the higher dimensions is another point on duality; one that involves the conscious decision that one is going to permanently act from a love based place or consciousness, as opposed to that of one of fear, which is the predominant operating place of the lower dimensions.
Here there should be a quick note of how this is similar to the chakras or energy centers of the body; as above, so below — the inner world reflects and mirrors the of the outer. We only begin working on bringing the energy of the higher chakras into play when we have done the work to bring balance to the base feelings found in the lower chakras, and this is also true in transcending from lower levels of reality and dimensionality to rising into higher ones.
The Fifth Dimension — All is Light and Love
Perhaps one of the best ways to view the fifth dimension is through the lens of Nikola Tesla’s observation in, “If you wish to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration, and similarly still, “Everything is electricity. Everything is the light.”
Nothing could be further from the truth. Look around you. Everything around you is composed of one of the three main states of matter, and all matter is essentially trapped energy. All we seem to need to substantiate both of these claims is found in the way that Astrophysics maintains something like 99 percent of the observable universe is made up of matter; the overwhelming majority consisting of the fourth notable state of matter which is that of plasma. All life is energy. All life is light.
And what is light? Information. No matter what form light takes, it always provides the observer with a vast gamut of raw data and information. It is to be in the know, or enlightened. To be in the dark is to be misinformed. Biblically we see this in the context of the first act of creation, in that God issued out let there be light; through the energy and frequency of voice, God dictated, let there be the information and the energy to create for the heavens.
And what is love? This is important to establish, because the fifth and higher dimensions are of unconditional love, the love of God. On the most basic level, it is creation. God is love. What dd God, the Universe, and all of humanity for that matter all have in common; that they are seemingly in a constant state of creation. Continuously give life to any given number of infinite manifestations of form. Here it should be noted a distinctive difference between light and love, and that is found in that love requires feeling.
To summarize, the fifth dimension consists of a heart-centered or love based reality. It is of the same unconditional love as that of God and source energy, and from this place we have transmuted and transcended fear and the more base feelings associated with the third dimension. Similarly, the fifth dimension includes an integration of the higher self, which includes a remembrance of everything that the soul has been. Generally this occurs as a happenstance from healing all aspects of the self, that is on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical levels of existence. Again, it cannot be emphasized enough how every action is enacted upon in love. Here we see that consciousness is not ego based, but soul place. Consciousness focuses and promotes unity and oneness, the interconnectivity between all living things as opposed to that of separation, and everything is done to meet the highest good for the all this is that that ever was.
Again, this has everything to do with consciousness throughout every level of existence; it is calling for an increase of awareness in all manifestations of sentience.
What that means is that on the individual level, one is starting to become increasingly aware of their own sense of causality, and how they effect everything around them; the people, the earth, the environment, and so the universe at large, and as such increasingly more and more cosmically or universally conscious.
This manifests itself in the form of going through intensive healing whether holistic, or energy based, or in whatever context it manifest itself on the individual basis. We are also observing this on the level of dietary consumption. More than ever, we are seeing an increase in those choosing to be vegan, vegetarian, or to incorporate some level of a plant based diet, speaking to some level of being conscious of the other lifeforms that we cohabit the planet with. Similarly it manifests itself in pursuing career paths that speak to a passion, love, or purpose in life, or to help be in there service of others, as opposed to merely setting out for pecuniary gain. And this takes effect in order that the individual is operating from love and heart based place and of expanded conscious awareness.
It is here that we see a truly remarkable phenomenon, which has everything to do with quantum physics, and we see this in the ripple effect of how this effects every level of the universe. As the individual heals and reaches elevated states of conscious, like a cell or particle influencing those in close proximity to it, this healing and increased awareness starts to emerge on a societal and collective plane which is further accelerated upon in that it calls for creating a sense of oneness and unity.
Here we see where are power has always truly been, and exactly how much of an impact that we can make, and we get back to the root of the hermetic second law, and the maxim of as above so below.
Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a pair or group of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum of each particle of the pair or group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance, and this is exactly was is taking place within the next observable characteristic taking place.
As this increased consciousness, and by extension in energy, frequency, and vibration, takes place on the collective, what we will see for is that of the shock wave I alluded to earlier. As things reach higher energy, frequencies, and vibrational states, they become less dense. As a consequence of this taking place on a collective level, what this will allow for, is that of the overall density of Earth to become less dense as well, which in turn effects its overall gravity. That is to say, that this ascension can also be observable on a planetary level; so too is the earth moving, creating for the new earth that many are talking about and absolutely correct about.
And like a domino effect this will carry out throughout all of time, space, and the entirety of the cosmos. If there is a noticeable change on the planetary level, in matters of density, gravity, and things of these nature, this by virtue will effect all of the solar system. That change in the composition of the solar system, will have an effect in all of our observable galaxy, which will then span out into the local group, all the way out until that of the Virgo Supercluster. So, is it that we are becoming more aware and conscious because the universe and the objects within it our becoming more conscious of themselves, or is it the other way around, that we effect everything else like a cell in the body? Or, even that it all simply takes place at the same time? Here we see the similarity with quantum entanglement, because like in the case of the particles, here it becomes impossible to distinguish or separate one from the other, neither being able to be described from the other, as they all share the same characteristic, without ever really being able to make our where it originating from. To this end, it all is really fascinating to consider.
