Do you believe in the 5th dimension? Why or why not?

Hello there :)

To restate: Do you believe in the 5th dimension? Why or why not?

Thanks a lot :)

It may exist or it may not.

Only time will tell.

In order to answer your question, a person would need to know your definition of a 5th dimention.

What is your understanding of a dimention.

Yes! Do you think of it mathmatecally, in which case yes there is such a thing as the 5th dimension, and if you consider how we perceive the experience of being human on planet earth we all experience the 5th dimension. 1 dimension, a point; 2nd a line; 3rd space; 4th time; 5th past present and future which is how we think.

The experience and the experiencer are one and the same, that is the non-Duality of Advaita Vedanta. Ahamkara is "The 'I' of invented things" and broadly speaking that is the perceptual reality that is the illusion. That's what Jung's model of the ego is based on, the science is based on the Spirituality. There's a whole raft of both Spiritual and science to say that perceptual reality isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Spiritually-speaking dimensions are 'objects' of consciousness and the differentiated consciousness of the ego/Ahamkara.

As for time, that's another perception and, according to the people who wax Spiritual about it, time doesn't exist. If you count time as a dimension then we are three and a half-dimensional because time is always forwards. Three dimensions mean we can go left and right, up and down and forward and back - we can't go back in time, only forwards. We can think about something we call the future but is that really any more than wishful thinking? We can divine a possible future of we have the ability but we certainly can't experience it. We also don't experience the past, what we experience is our response to what happened in the past.

I do believe in it yes. To me it's a fact actually, not a belief.
We are already moving towards a 5D way of life, and as I see it the current situation is part of that.
It is what has been talked about for decades: moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The Age of Aquarius IS the 5D way of life.
It's the New Golden Era, like they had in Atlantis. And it's about why we all incarnated here on Earth: to learn to be in a physical body with all the emotions -good and bad- that come with that and still get to a higher vibration and maintain that.
Then we can create Heaven on Earth (again).

I do currently believe in the 5th dimension because it fits in well scientifically with how I understand reality to work. Something like I quoted below, although I don't really like the idea of "compacting" these extra dimensions. It seems to me that is more of a way to stay within a materialist point of view which is not necessary outside that view point. I suspect we are actually navigating through the 5th dimension now, but are only aware of the 4 dimensions of space-time. Kind of like how the lab rat sees the maze vs how it looks when observed from above.

"According to Superstring Theory, the fifth and sixth dimensions are where the notion of possible worlds arises. If we could see on through to the fifth dimension, we would see a world slightly different from our own that would give us a means of measuring the similarity and differences between our world and other possible ones.

In the sixth, we would see a plane of possible worlds, where we could compare and position all the possible universes that start with the same initial conditions as this one (i.e. the Big Bang). In theory, if you could master the fifth and sixth dimension, you could travel back in time or go to different futures."

Yes I do believe in the 5D

Which are the other four dimensions, and what would be a fifth?

I believe that physical-reality is a framework that has a 3D dimension, a probability dimension, and a bidirectional time dimension.

I see the physical-reality like attending a school, so would you say that attending an organized form of education, with its restrictions and rules could be seen as a supplementary dimension? I wouldn't.

I think that the non-physical is made of gestalts over gestalts of more and more evolved consciousness, ad infinitum.
