(9:28.) The soul, therefore, or entity, endows three-dimensional reality, and the three-dimensional self with its own properties. The abilities of the entity lie within the three-dimensional self. The three-dimensional self, the actor, has access to this information and to these potentials. In learning to use these potentials, in learning to rediscover its relationship with the entity, the three-dimensional self raises still further the level of achievement, comprehension, and creativity. The three-dimensional self becomes more than it knows.

Not only is the entity strengthened, but portions of it, having been actualized in three-dimensional existence, now add to the very quality and nature of that existence. Without this creativity, planetary life in your terms would always be sterile. The soul or entity then gives breath to the body, and to the three-dimensional self within it. The three-dimensional self then goes about its purpose of opening up new areas of creativity.

When you think of reincarnation, you suppose a series of progressions. Instead the various lives grow out of what your inner self is. They are not thrust upon you by some outside agency. They are a material development, as your consciousness opens up and expresses itself in as many ways as possible. It is not restricted to one three-dimensional lifetime, nor is it restricted to three-dimensional existence alone.

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. [...]

4. Suppose further that the next card below represents the same two-dimensional being a moment earlier. [...]

6. If this two-dimensional being, through psychic ability were able to project himself into other levels of his existence (the stack) he could see his “future” and that of other beings in nearby stacks. [...]

In his reading he came across a statement to the effect that imaginary two-dimensional people could not comprehend a three-dimensional system. You are obviously in the physical system, and according to your terms fourth dimensional. Your dream world, of which I have spoken, could be compared to a third-dimensional universe. [...]

A fifth-dimensional universe does not have to possess all the attributes of the previous four, for example. Once you progress beyond a fourth-dimensional universe, then freedoms are attained which will make the attributes of previous dimensions unnecessary.

[...] The term itself merely applies to a reference point duration that has meaning only in so far as it is related to a specific personality that is in a transitional frame between dimensional actualities.

[...] And so what you have, in effect, as I have said often before, is a one-dimensional psychology. You need a multi-dimensional psychology for identity operates in many dimensions beside a physical one. [...]

[...] Personality represents only those aspects of identity that you are able to actualize within three-dimensional existence. [...]

[...] If you paint a picture within three-dimensional existence, then the painting must be on a flat surface, merely hinting at the complete three-dimensional experience that you cannot insert into it. In our environment, however, we could actually create whatever dimensional effects we desired. [...]

[...] Your physical senses necessitate the perception of a three-dimensional reality. [...]

[...] You are learning now, in a three-dimensional context, the ways in which your emotional and psychic existence can create varieties of physical form. [...]

[...] (Slowly:) You must remember that beginnings and endings are realities only within your own system of three-dimensional life.

[...] Consider this analogy: Taking it for granted that you are indeed multidimensional, you can perceive only so much of your own experience at a time because of the characteristics of physical creaturehood; the three-dimensional system automatically specializes in before-and-after effects.

(9:26.) Again, what actually happens is that the energy of your being impinges, say, at seven [moment] points² into the three-dimensional system. [...]

We shall have more to say, concerning for this evening, fourth-dimensional personality structures.

[...] There is no need to get too complicated, so we shall deal only with fourth and fifth-dimensional personality structures for now.

[...] There is a compliance on the part of the ego, however, that allows it to step aside so that it does not block inner awareness of other-dimensional existence. [...]

I have lived in physical terms within your three-dimensional universe, and I am aware of that universe. My main existence however is in a dimension of which your third-dimensional reality is only a part. I can therefore perceive, for example, portions of your future, simply because the future is only an illusion that exists in three-dimensional reality. [...]

[...] I can at times impress your physical reality, but the focus of my existence no longer involves a three-dimensional psychological structure. [...]

[...] Together we form a sort of psychological bridge between dimensions, for I cannot completely exist within your three-dimensional system now, and he cannot completely enter the dimension in which I do have my primary existence.

You can conceive of a fourth-dimensional cube, for example, but you cannot conceive of a fourth-dimensional thinking process. You cannot conceive of a fourth-dimensional psychological structure. You cannot think (smile) in fourth-dimensional terms. You cannot use fourth-dimensional imagination, you see.

No thought has been given to the personality structure as it exists in a fourth-dimensional reality, or in a fifth-dimensional reality, and yet a fourth or fifth-dimensional personality structure contains the most important hints of all.

[...] He was shown a multidimensional diagram of reality as it exists in terms of the spacious present, and in terms of qualities that represent dimensional points.

[...] (One minute pause.) They would represent other dimensional realities inherent in the number itself, and since numbers are only symbols they would therefore represent other dimensional realities inherent in the unit for which the number stood.

[...] A fourth and fifth-dimensional mathematics cannot be initiated from within inside your own system.

[...] Other dimensional realities do appear within your system but you do not recognize them. [...]

[...] Now, in doing so you will find that the personality is as different as, say, this table viewed from different angles and discover all facets of identity with which three-dimensional reality is by nature ignorant. [...] You can catch glimpses of your own multidimensional reality, but you must escape three-dimensional existence momentarily in order to do so. [...]

[...] You can regenerate your physical system with the knowledge that you have attained; but do not necessarily expect this knowledge to be intellectual for the three-dimensional brain will not be able to translate all of it. The effects, however, will be felt in the three-dimensional body. [...]

([Arnold:] “If we were two-dimensional and were one of a stack of cards placed in the middle of the deck, we would not be aware of those above and below, but if we could pull ourselves out of the stack we would be able to see that which was above and below?”)

There is great cooperation behind such momentous productions, and in playing his role, each actor first actualizes himself within three-dimensional reality. The multidimensional self cannot act within three-dimensional reality until it materializes a portion of itself within it. [...]

[...] He must actualize himself out of the three-dimensional confines of the play’s setting.

[...] It must then propel itself from this system however, through another act, another actualization on the part of itself that is three-dimensional.

[...] The universe as you know it is your interpretation of events as they intrude upon your three-dimensional reality. [...]

[...] Your idea of the soul is indeed limited by your three-dimensional concepts. [...]

When I enter your system, I intrude into three-dimensional reality, and you must interpret what happens in the light of your own root assumptions. [...]

[...] I can impart information that is not distorted in three-dimensional terms simply because I am so apart from three-dimensional reality. [...]

[...] I am here simply at Seth’s request to tell you that the dimension that you know is but a small spot in the all of reality, and also, that your concept of a god is highly distorted by three-dimensional concepts and ideas. [...]

Now, again, these ideas may seem impossibly rich for your mental blood because of your propensity toward serial thought and three-dimensional attitudes.

(Humorously): You may take a three-dimensional break.

The tapestry of your own existence is simply such that the three-dimensional intellect cannot behold it. [...]

[...] They are not deceived by the images that you project in three-dimensional reality. [...]

[...] They are never stable or permanent, even though within the context of three-dimensional reality they may appear so.

Anything of which you are aware in three-dimensional existence is only a projection of a greater reality into that dimension. [...]

[...] Instead there is an expansion of her consciousness and a projection of energy that is directed away from three-dimensional reality.

[...] I will try to put this as simply as possible: There is within his psyche what amounts to a transparent dimensional warp that serves almost like an open window through which other realities can be perceived, a multidimensional opening that has to some extent escaped being clouded over by the shade of physical focus.

[...] You do not realize that you create your larger environment and the physical world as you know it by propelling your thoughts and emotions into matter — a breakthrough into three-dimensional life. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking, three-dimensional objects are formed in somewhat the same way that the images you see on your television screen are formed, but with a large difference. [...]

[...] You can learn to follow it, but you are usually frightened of turning your attention away from its intense focus in three-dimensional existence. [...]

[...] The physical senses allow you to perceive the three-dimensional world, and yet by their very nature they can inhibit the perception of other equally valid dimensions. [...]

[...] It is the inner perceiver of reality that exists beyond the three-dimensional. [...]

[...] The personality is multidimensional, even though many people hide their heads, figuratively speaking, in the sand of three-dimensional existence and pretend there is nothing more.

[...] These only appear to those who exist within three-dimensional reality. [...] But there is a part of you that is not imprisoned within three-dimensional reality, and that part of you knows that there is no time, that there is only an eternal now; and that part of you that knows is the whole self, the inner personality that knows all of your lives. [...]

[...] Only you are not aware, and you cannot understand within the framework of three-dimensional reality. [...]
