AN AID IN VISUALIZING TIME
AS A DIMENSION
BY: ARNOLD PEARSON,
MEMBER OF JANE’S ESP CLASS.
[... 2 paragraphs ...]
3. Suppose now that one card in the stack represents a living, intelligent, two-dimensional being at some moment in time. Because “he” is two-dimensional “he” sees dimensions in his plane, as we three-dimensional beings can see in our three dimensions. He cannot see up or down, as we cannot see (or even imagine) our fourth dimension. He would, however, be able to see other beings at his same level in nearby stacks.

5. Since he cannot see up or down (as we cannot see the fourth dimension) he is not aware that his “future” is already there and that his “past” still exists. His third dimension is time but he cannot see it. Similarly our fourth dimension is time and we cannot see it. Seth has told us that there is no past or future, only the spacious present. All of the past and the future exist now to those who can see time as the fourth dimension.
