The out-of-body experience as dimensional translocation (2)
Scientific theories that prove the existence of other dimensions – strange worlds inhabited by alien life forms

Our point’s simultaneous explosion/implosion would create a bare minimum of six spatial dimensions: three of space and three of hyperspace, and certainly many more than that. What would they look like “objectively”? Wouldn’t dimensions created out of Consciousness have to be “Mind Stuff” – perhaps a Super Collective Unconscious at least as infinite as the physical universe? Out-of-body shamans do indeed describe Locale-II (hyperspace) as a kind of Supermind, a realm where thought (consciousness) creates mass and energy out of itself:
“Superseding all appears to be one prime law. Locale-II is a state of being where that which we label thought is the wellspring of existence. It is the vital creative force that produces energy, assembles ‘matter’ into form, and provides channels of perception and communication. I suspect that the very self or soul in Locale-II is no more than an organized vortex or warp in this fundamental. As you think, so you are.” – Robert A. Monroe, Journeys Out Of The Body.
This empirical out-of-body observation is echoed in quantum theory, which of course is based upon solid, self-consistent, repeatable, scientific experimentation:
“To the naive realist the universe is a collection of objects. To the quantum physicist it is an inseparable web of vibrating energy patterns in which no one component has reality independently of the entirety; and included in the entirety is the observer… In the absence of an observation a quantum system will evolve in a certain way. When an observation is made, an entirely different type of change occurs. Just what produces this different behavior is not clear, but at least some physicists insist that it is explicitly caused by the mind itself.” – Paul Davies, Superforce.
Physicists describe matter at the subatomic level as a “wave function” and tell us that it is more “idea-like” (i.e. related to awareness) than it is “matter-like”. In fact, at the subatomic level, there is no substantive physical world at all – it’s just a vibrating dance of energy, or Consciousness, which must in some sense be the same thing!
We can deduce this as follows:
Einstein’s famous E =MC squared equation demonstrates that matter and energy are two versions of a single phenomenon. Unfortunately, Einstein left himself (as observer) out of his equation. It might more accurately be written as: E = MC squared, divided by X – “X” symbolising consciousness (i.e., an observer) which is demanded by quantum theory for anything to exist. If this is at all accurate (and the implications of quantum physics seem to require it), then the lowest common denominator to which reality can be reduced is Consciousness itself.
If Consciousness (what else?) created an infinity of four-dimensional space-time “bubble” universes, each of which is perpendicular to (i.e. “perceived by”) that Consciousness, then Consciousness has to be the “Super-Space” surrounding and permeating them all. Since time and consciousness can’t be separated from each other without logical absurdity, time could be thought of as a one-dimensional function of Consciousness projected into three-dimensional space. (Thus, the four-dimensional space-time continuum, since without duration, space would be, if not unperceivable, at least very boring.)
This time-consciousness interface is what sets space “in motion” and is the only way a differentiated point-of-view can experience dimensional reality. Outside of the dimensional bubble-universes (i.e. in the superspatial realm of Consciousness-without-an-object), time does not exist, a fact attested to by psychonauts and mystics since “time out of mind.” (Pun intended.)
Each differentiated point is a potential “free agent” which may be arbitrarily assigned to any position in any dimension. Being conscious, they become attitudes or points-of-view within multidimensional space (“God’s observers”, if you will). Your individual human consciousness is essentially the interface of a point-singularity (“you”), linking our particular spacetime bubble with Super-Space, or perhaps more accurately, the Objective Psyche: which is Jung’s revised, much better, label for the “Collective Unconscious”.
“What Jung calls the objective psyche may then be likened to an encompassing energy stratum from which arise varying field activities discernable to the experienced observer through the patterning of image, emotion and drive configurations. These psychic field expressions Jung has called complexes and archetypes of the objective psyche… The objective psyche exists independently of the ego, but can be experienced and comprehended to a limited extent by the ego.” – Edward C. Whitmont, The Symbolic Quest.
These complexes and archetypes within the Objective Psyche have traditionally been regarded as “gods”, but not as “God” (i.e., as the Objective Psyche per se). The difference between you (or any other differentiated point-of-view) and the Objective Psyche, as such, is the difference between man and “God”. The purpose of our incarnations as “points-of-view” is to return to the pool from which we emerged with full gnosis of where we’ve been and what we’ve done.
Because our unconscious mind is a two-way wormhole connecting subjective perception with the infinite realms of the Objective Psyche, it is not uncommon for profound insights to emerge from those dimensions into human awareness – often before their time. The image below is taken from Rene Descartes’ posthumous 1667 work, Traite de l’Homme, which illustrates his theory of perception. He regarded the pineal gland as the “gateway to the soul”, and in this drawing he hypothesises how visual perception is concentrated therein. Most of Descartes’ theories have been disproved by modern research, but his fundamental intuition in this case is still valid. All that is missing is the concept of the DMT-synthesising pineal gland (discussed in our last article) as a singularity linking spacetime awareness with the Objective Psyche to complete the hypothesis being proposed here.

And hopefully this hypothesis is beginning to make sense: Since we experience ourselves as a conscious centre (a “point”) inhabiting a physical body, which perceives itself as part of a three-dimensional “outside” reality, it is obvious that all external sensory input is perpendicular to our subjective awareness. Which, if you follow the right-angle rule, is to say that consciousness itself must be in some sense dimensional! The only direction of escape in Koan-1, is within. The only place that the radiation from the XYZ-123 galaxy can go after entering the black-holes of your eyes is inside. This mandates that both Locale-I and Locale-II are inner dimensions which to varying degrees mirror our familiar, externalised space-time.
We have the empirical testimony of out-of-body explorer William Buhlman that this is so: “For two years I had believed that I was moving laterally from one area to another within the same dimension, but now the startling truth was apparent. I was not moving laterally but inwardly within the universe from one energy environment to another”.
Buhlman goes on to describe what can only be a kind of singularity of consciousness imploding into itself, into a dimension of many dimensions. Here he is, out-of-body, in the Locale-I version of his bedroom, about to enter a typical Locale-II environment, perhaps one of Robert Monroe’s “upper rings”:
“Feeling centered, I stand at the foot of my bed and say aloud, ‘I move inward.’ I feel an immediate sensation of rapid inner motion – I’m being drawn into a vacuum deep within myself. The sensation of motion is so intense that I shout ‘Stop!’ Instantly I stop moving and realize that I’m in a new environment. I am outdoors in a beautiful parklike setting.”
Although admittedly rare, this perception is neither new nor unique. The Tibetan Book of the Dead tells us explicitly that all of the bardorealms are “inside of us”:
“O nobly-born, these realms are not come from somewhere outside [thyself]. They come from within the four divisions of thy heart, which, including its center, make the five directions. They issue from within there, and shine upon thee. The deities, too, are not come from somewhere else: they exist from eternity within the faculties of thine own intellect.”
