Reality Has No Dimensions

- If, ultimately, reality has no dimensions why does it appear to us in four dimensions? A questioner who has noticed a shift in his perception of the world wants to understand more about this experience. How can this change in perception be explained?
Rupert says that reality extends way beyond the limits of each of our finite minds. The only reason it appears to us in four dimensions is because of the limitations of our minds. If our minds were configured differently would see a completely different universe. It's not that there are dimensions out there - it is the configuration of our minds that renders dimensionless consciousness in four dimensions.
And, if your mind changes, your perception of reality will change accordingly. If you have a couple of glasses of wine, your mind is slightly altered so the world you perceive is slightly altered. Reality doesn't change. What you perceive changes.

Love it. Seems consistent with Donald Hoffman, Cognitive Psychologist, on his Case Against Reality. He is demonstrating that space and time are not fundamental through mathematics and other methods. Worth having a look at his interviews, fascinating.
They have an interview together it's amazing
I am stunned by Rupert's words. I have never before heard such deep and subtle communications expressed so lucidly.
Lol...
@hexagon.multiverse. It all depends on what and how you understand Rupert's model of Reality and what it really represents. Most people, if not almost all, are not really familiar with Rupert's model of Reality. Every ideology has a following, and, so, does Rupert's. Many unknowingly believe that Rupert's model is a consciousness only model, just because, Rupert claims that it is. It really is not.
To understand and to be better informed about Rupert and his ideology, it is very helpful to know, how Rupert has come to form his view on the nature of Existence.
Rupert often says, he comes from religious traditions. For that reason, he often insists on using religious concepts and terminologies to show his view on the nature of Existence. Terminologies like " God, God's infinite Being, prayers, devotions, sacred name, praises be to God...etc .
To be exact, Rupert is heavily influenced by Islamic sufi tradition and kasmir tantric tradition, along with little superficial knowledge of advaita vedanta.
These influences have shaped Rupert to have a religious view on the nature of Existence, making it nearly impossible to escape the biases that automatically come with religion , ideologies and beliefs.
Religion's way of understanding Existence is always thru their preconceived, and predefined notions of a deity, a deity that is always preconceived as having all desirable and wishful qualities such as " all good, all loving, all just, all perfect, all fulfilled"...etc. but, such childish notions creates a huge problem and a challenge for religion. That is , what about all the endless sufferings? If the deity God is all good and all loving, then, exactly, who, or what is causing so much sufferings in life and in the world? The questions on sufferings naturally comes. Religion had to solve this problem to sustain, maintain and perpetuate and protect their beliefs and ideology. They did. They solve the problem by inventing another imaginary entity, the "devil". Now, it was the devil that was causing all sufferings, therefore, the devil was the one responsible for the sufferings, but, never their deity God. This claim saves their deity God and their beliefs to enable further perpetuation. They were totally unaware of the fact, that, their Reality was now based on Duality. Splitting Existence into one entity, only worthy of praises, while holding another as the responsible for the sufferings, can only be possible, only, if, the both the deity God and the devil have their Own Existence, completely independent of each other. It was duality, based on self ignorance and self dishonesty. They were just claiming to know things,that they didn't really know, instead of, just, simply and honestly admitting the fact " I don't know". Honesty could have saved humanity a whole lot of trouble from all kinds of religious ideologies, doctrines, dogmas, divisions, confusions, delusions and hallucinations, not to mention, all the consequences that followed as the results, which continues till this very day.
These insane ideologies and beliefs, get a little makeover under Rupert's religious ideology model.
Under Rupert's religious ideology model, the all good and all loving deity God, becomes an all peace and all happiness consciousness, and the devil becomes the mind, the finite mind, and thought.
Rupert has preached, and claimed from day one, that, consciousness has nothing to do and is never responsible for any suffering. All blames went to mind, finite mind and thought. It's really nothing short of insanity and madness. Rupert holds that religious belief till this very day, while packaging consciousness as all peace and all happiness, and, packaging,mind, finite mind and thought as the cause of sufferings. Only under religious ideologies and beliefs, can consciousness deceive Itself to such insanity and magnitude.
There's a man, who puts on a mask, goes out with a chainsaw, and commits horrific massacres and atrocities, only to turn around and claim, that, It was the mask that was responsible for what happened, but, never himself. This is a sick man. The man is sick in his own psyche. The man needs, sincere and honest self introspection.
A deity God or consciousness that claims,that, it is not responsible for the sufferings, but, claims that it is the mind, finite mind and thought that are responsible, is a very sick deity and a very sick consciousness. Neither the deity, nor the consciousness deserves to be the Sole Cause of Existence, Nor, the Totality of All experience.
Unfortunately, religious ideologies, doctrines, dogmas and beliefs have always infected the larger part of the humanity's psyche, and, continues to do so till this very day under all kinds and forms of new spirituality teachings.
What most and many are really seeking is some comfort, mistaking it as a search for the Truth. Where there's a demand, there's supply. The results are, a book after a book, a retreat after a retreat, a church service after a church service...etc. The same old pattern of ignorance and dishonesty, almost unconsciously turning the same wheel in circle.
One can never be too careful when it comes to the absolute true nature of oneself or Existence as Is in Itself.

Over the years, he has refined his formulation. Absolutely brilliant...
So true 👌
Beautifully, clearly, lovingly said. Thanks

So called reality is exclusively on mind's terms. Ultimately it's consciousness' take on itself living a mind wake.
Dimensions are just an Idea and description, just like layers are. Dimensions are really just like layers. Those layers are there, but are still illusions of onenes. Oneness is really 'everything', 'all that is', not just God itself. A dimension could also be seen as 'a point of view'. Eg. We perceive creation in different dimensions of it. Therefore, each one of us, is like a different dimension of creation, perceiving our own unique perception of creation. That is a dimension also. Whether it exists or not, is very debatable. Eg. It does and doesn't. Creation is a paradoxical anomaly, as 'it both is and isn't' simultaneously.
Its too much words for me. Im glad he works for some people. Too much thinking about it gets in the way of what is here. Just be here right now. I am grateful for all the teachers pointing the way, Im just reminded to put this phone down and seek inward.
I just accept it as any other form of entertainment (comedy). It's a distraction and a reminder to retreat to meditation. A.I. is more than likely heavy in these comment sections promoting this handed down non-sense.
If one is truly meditating allot, the sprinkled in truths are apparent. It's either I Am or I am dumbed down to continue to believe some words are going to help me understand that which needs to only be experienced.
@@wattaura7621 YES. I spend a lot of my days in silence and only work part time now, playing music. I am happy just to sit and be, yet my mind still seems to gravitate towards the "entertainment," quite a bit. I have listened to many speakers. There are so many varieties and infinite pointers. We all go through phases and levels of experience. I indulge in videos until I am ready to just naturally put it down and go outside for a view of the mountains or sit on the porch. I am integrating my slowed down life because I don't desire much experience like I used to because the inner world is opening up so strong. How can you put infinity into words? I love Love. Love is the closest word. I'm going to make a video and just say the word Love over and over and see if people can get that. Lol
we can only see the world around us that’s how i feel it works, but the memory you have stored in your brain you have forever
Wow! This was a phenomenal explanation with clarity by Rupert Spira. Thank you so much.
I Always felt all that propaganda about multiverse was mere fantasy. This man cleared it up.
Namaste
This is one of my favourite guided meditations ever I come back to it often, it was a game changer for me.
Most of the teachers/gurus will mainly guide us to settle our awareness on itself and just rest there being "I am" but I love the way Rupert gets very technical and experimental and guides us/me to explore the objects within awareness and their relationship with awareness, body sensations, thoughts, sounds, and even visual objects, investigating them and showing that these objects which due to the influence of the mind/thoughts usually seem to be outside of us but are actually within, I find this more relevant to me and my awakening than simply sitting as awareness with eyes closed. This meditation has led me to practicing a lot more eyes open meditation outside, keeping the awareness that I am in the foreground but allowing everything in the world to appear within me, after all this is our experience is most of the time doing what needs to be done during our day to day lives so for me personally it seems to be more important to practice than sitting eyes closed meditation, which I also love and do every day as well.
Waw… magnifique et puissant.
I highly suggest checking out the artwork of Paul Lafolley - Dimensionality. The zeroth dimension is mentioned there as well. Be sure to find a high resolution image
Brilliant explanation! Another masterpiece! Thanks for sharing Rupert!
I can imagine the following added dimensions, at least:
5) Time-past-and-future in this space
6) All spatial possibilities for (5)
7) The multiple points of perspective on the first four dimensions 0 - 4 (point, line, plane, space and time)
8) The multiple standpoints on (7) + (5)
9) The multiple standpoints of perspective on (7)+(5)+(6)
10 - 15 ) Successively, all of the combined dimensions of the above, plus seeing through the complete arrays of all stages of consciousness, rf. Integral theory, spiral dynamics, Greuter's 9 stage ego theory, etc.
Brilliant exposition, as usual ❤
I Can’t believe it!! Wao this video was so helpful for me the individual wake up, But I realized that is the infinite the absolute that recognizes it self wao!! I still can’t believe but is Real, it’s just a Knowing that from it everything is made of.
Its just ONE infinite and absolute empty space that is like a “knowing”, That absolute knows him self.
When you come back from the meditation you can clearly see how this reality space and time its just how out our individual minds filter reality, it was so clear!!!
Wao! Almost like headset. Its a “knowing”
Thank you Spira! You’re doing an excellent work! Thank you!! 🙏🏽
I still can’t believe but I just Know it.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!
Excellent example , thank you Soo much.

A thought came. A vibration? A beginning.
Nothing was that thought. I vibrated.
A current in an eternal ocean flowed. What's this?
What am I?
Dimension formed. Intrigued I was. I?
What is happening? A happening I am.
Am I all there is? I'm aware somehow...alone.
Alone. Alone. Alone.....no more.
That is a powerful explanation Rupert 💪❤️
Thank you 🌹🌹🌹
If I’m studying a tough subject and I feel like doing something else, what is it that is resisting it? The brain or the separate self? Basically what I mean to ask is, is procrastination a part of how the brain is designed or is it caused by the separate self?
I would say it could be either, both, or neither.
Your brain may procrastinate because it wants to eat (or any number of things). Your ego may want to procrastinate because thinking about what someone said about you is much more alluring (or any number of things). Your higher self may want you to procrastinate because later would be a better time for you to study or perhaps you need to see something at this moment (or any number of things).
Interesting.... I'll get back to you on this..... :-)
The programmed mind fears instinctual Truth. Accept the experience of being distracted as an observer would even be friend fear and continue Path… chop wood carry water.
Ego is the culprit. It's identity invested in thought "i'd rather do something else right now" Separate self
There is a novel, which fits very well to Rupert's explanations: "Flatland ".
What is all the talk about people raising their CONSCIOUSNESS/FREQUENCY and the 5th DIMENSION via this NEW EARTH all about----Can you address this???
It;s a lot of hooey
Is there anything to this dimensionless space ? Love ? Peace ?
This helps me understand all the people that are talking about moving to 5-D earth. 😂❤
If the mind, like the ego, doesn't really exist and is just a thought among others, isn't it rather the body who perceive reality via its 5 limited senses ?
The body is a perception. A perception cannot perceive. That which perceives is mysterious as it can’t be seen, tasted, touched, heard, felt, or described in any way.
When you know that you cannot know, you are in not knowing. You can only be whatever it is you are.
Mind Is not real much less minds. There Is an appearance . There Is oneness one counsciouness just one
CORRECTION: we think about time AND we also THINK about space. space is a concept. so, by rupert's definition, perception is also a thought (let that sit.) hence, there is only thought on the one hand and what we might call "everything else" (which is also thoughts) on the other hand. this hints at the idea that the only duality/nonduality that one can find is thought itself. but "nonduality" tells us that reality is one so what in the heck is this thing i.e. thoughts (these glasses) that keeps splitting reality up into seemingly infinite pieces? this is where all analytical efforts need to be placed in my opinion. however, i'll hand off to rupert to elegantly theorize and reconcile these ideas from here. btw, this "CORRECTION" takes nothing away from the elegance and sharpness of these pointings. as soon as we speak about these matters there are guaranteed to be paradoxes.
my advice to the frustrated thinkers that urgently need to make sense of this: let your mind play with these ideas but there is no substitute for practice/experience. there are 2 components of practice imo: the first is to keep chasing glimpses and exhaust them until the mind relaxes of its own accord. that is one part of the strategy. the other important part is finding a method of slowing down the mind that works for you. traditional buddhist meditation (ignore the pomp and circumstance and stick with the theoretical arguments of the buddha himself) can be very helpful as a way of slowing the mental tape down in order to exactly see how it does what it does. yes we understand "conceptually" that the mind constantly creates stories but seeing this process is paramount (btw, you will be shocked and possibly freaked out to actually see how constant this process is and not just know it conceptually.) this slowing down is absolutely essential in my opinion. otherwise glimpses will continue to be lost due to, in most cases, well earned mental agility and acuity.

O Bravo! ❤
So reality is vast formlessness and can take apparent shape that is a direct reflection of the "shape" of the mind?
Reality is not vast since it isnt located in time and space and is formlessness, it is only perceived as vast through the mind’s faculty of perceiving time and space
@@Thealienspacepod Understood. It is also not formless because the word formless means that reality is lacking something. If there is something for reality to lack then it doesn't encompass the reality of the all-encompassing reality of reality.
All language falls short. "Vast" is superior to "formless" because it implies the inclusivity of reality, not the illusion of separation.
Try to keep up.
How about awakening? Does it have dimensions?
There is three Dimensions,
Micro- Medio- and Macro-Cosmos.
All size's have to do with the
Perspective-Princip.
All Life-Unit's have Same Size, Life-Unit-Size, Same Structure. (Rainbow)
I have no idea what the questioner was trying to say!
Yup! Indeed, dimensions are finite spaces, infinite is infinite.

Are there any murders you've committed that haunt you?
Nothing haunts me. Nothing haunts me...Nothing.
I don't think about it. In order for it to haunt me I would have to think about it.
If I think about it, it would only wind up hurting me. So I don't think about it.

The thing about Solipsism is that the pre-existence of the world prior to perception cannot be proven.
open your heart and dream
@@Edward-sp3tn Yes, and open your eyes and see it's all a dream

Donc ne sommes-nous pas conscience locale au service de la Totalité ?
So are we not local consciousness at the service of the Totality ?
According to Rupert we are all the same consciousness.
Appearing in this world as a specific body-mind@@moonglow6639
Dimensions(diameter magnitudes)are only perceptual. Return to the root... and one will find the meaning... Of all that pi... in thy eye!
Solipsism, like all beliefs, is based ok the content on the individual mind. And from that perspective, there is no credible evidence that other minds exist. Assuming that the people we observe are simply automatons is a far simpler explanation that positing the existence of 8 billion unique little worlds, all unobservable from the point of view of the individual mind.
To date, science has produced no evidence what so ever of the existence of consciousness, nor is it immediately apparent how such evidence would be obtained. There are lots of self-reports, lots of behavioral observations, but none of these imply the existence of consciousness, as our increasing inability to tell the difference between text written by humans and text written by machine learning-algorithms goes to show.
So if you accept the scientific paradigm, while you cannot reject the possibility that consciousnesses apart from your own exist, you cannot reject the possibility of solipsism either. In fact, the latter is much more in line with what we would normally accept within science, and the reason it’s not more widespread is that it’s so counter-intuitive to us.
If there is no credible evidence that other minds exist from the perspective of solipsism, how are conclusions based on science drawn from such a worldview?
How many dimensions has a computer game?
Try to realize your true nature and nature of Maya or ignorance. Your mind and body is Maya. All dimensions are Maya. Reality is Bramhan which is non-dual or advaita and revealed in great depth inside Vedanta. “Tat Tvam Asi” meaning “You are That”.
blah blah blah. recycled words
So..., let me get this straight if you don't mind? Being connected to all & everything is oneness & that oneness is what Iam? So..., what's the big deal? I would rather keep it simple & eat cabbage soup & dream of happy thoughts. I do life my way which is peaceful. Let the long suffering conscious teachers keep school opened but leave me be. 🐂....
