Alas, my mind plays best at this interface. I even speculate on a half-level higher. Mind interpenetrates all these, from one to seven dimensions. Each dimensional advance partakes of all \u201clower\u201d dimensions.  I\u2019ve speculated on this spectrum of dimensions in past<\/a> blog posts. The one before that also. I\u2019ll not say that everything is mind, but rather that mind interpenetrates with everything, and is very much a dimension as real as time, space, energy, matter, and so forth.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m giving a series of talks on illusion which I\u2019ll post on my website. Please note that things are not either-or illusory. Things can be 99% to 0.2% illusory, and indeed, the criterion of relevance modifies this number. In other words, who cares is such and so is illusory? And then there\u2019s: It may be illusory, but it works for me. There\u2019s also \u201cThis illusion seems so real at the time but on closer inspection it\u2019s misleading.\u201d Those are the guys I\u2019m aiming at.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m promiscuously illusion-prone, but I sort of know it. When it\u2019s harmless and fun, I even create many types of illusions, cartoon characters I pretend are real, that sort of thing. But on the other hand, they never get in the way. At least that\u2019s the game.<\/p>\n

There are a number of metaphysical corollaries to the idea that dimensions be thought of as valid frames of whatever is \u201creal,\u201d but I fear that I\u2019m still mulling that idea over. Suggestions? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
