But we try.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him how he gets around, space being so big, and inter-dimensional \u201cspace\u201d seems even vaster.

Zordak kindly explained that: (1) at the top is the potential for enlightenment in everything, if one contemplates deeply enough. (2) the sperm-like tadpole-like guys represent living functionaries, angels and assistant angels. (3) The rattlesnake may be drowsy and mistakenly stepped on, so beware. Some wrong turns are like that. (4) the many arrowed possibilities represent various directional potentials, some of which branch (yes, but\u2026); some swirl in vortices (whoa!). There is the reversed flower-breast of illusory stasis. Ahhh.&#160; Near the top one can go through the ring or reverse one\u2019s tactics. Occasionally productive.<\/p>\n<p>Of course this doesn\u2019t translate well, as our sensory receptors don\u2019t pick up trans-dimensional resonances except occasionally in people who are considered \u201cintuitives\u201d and \u201cpsychics.\u201d Even then these folks don\u2019t really know what they are doing.
