Picture a perfect sphere— with height, width, and depth. It’s a shape that we can interact with in a three-dimensional space. While a sphere is unequivocally a three-dimensional object, our attempts to capture its essence on a two-dimensional plane, such as paper, necessarily flatten its reality.
In its two-dimensional representation, the sphere becomes a mere circle—a flat, disc-like shape devoid of the depth and volume that define its true nature. We lose the very essence of its three-dimensionality, as though we've captured only a fleeting shadow of its reality.
Realize that the lower ‘physical’ world is just a shadow of a higher dimensional reality. Consider the notion that you are a higher dimensional Spirit - temporarily incarnating into this compacted space. Imagine that consciousness is non-local. In this model, you are an alien. You come from another realm, a higher spiritual dimension. In this model, what you are is a sphere. Now knowing that your true nature is that of a sphere, will you continue to identify as a fallen (lower dimensional) circle, or will you investigate the depth of your being?
Culture wants to tell us to identify with the most surface level features of our lower animal nature. It suggests we operate within the illusion of separation. The emphasized focus on race in society today is truly mentally ill. I’m always shocked when I experience antisemitism. It’s crazy to me when people other me because they genuinely don’t see themselves in me. That’s what racism really is— the illusion of separation. It’s ignorance— falling short of understanding. They think that I’m something so distinctly different from them, as they filter their reality through the illusion of separation. When in reality, I’m right on the other side of consciousness.
Go out into the world and perceive yourself as non-local consciousness, emanating from One Consciousness singularity beyond this realm. See the divine spark within all beings. By doing this, you raise your own awareness of yourself, and you see others as yourself in another body suit.
This is the antidote to racism— to see your neighbor as yourself.
The spherical paradox serves as a reminder of the profound depth and complexity that often lies beyond the confines of our two-dimensional representations. It encourages us to appreciate the richness of the three-dimensional world we inhabit and the intricate interplay of shapes, space, and perception.
Now take it up another level. You are a four dimensional being. You are a higher dimensional consciousness (or Spirit) in a lower realm. Even the sphere is just a representation of what you really are. We are not the body- rather we are consciousness in animal bodies. We have two natures: the higher dimensional nature and the lower animal nature. This is the concept in Judaism of the two souls… that the human being is multi-dimensional [and inter-dimensional]. The lower animal nature isn’t inherently evil or bad— but it does need to be trained to carry out the will of the higher self. [There is no concept of original sin in Judaism].
This idea underscores the limitations of our two-dimensional representations and the inherent challenges of translating complex four-dimensional forms onto flat surfaces. It raises questions about the accuracy of our earthly perceptions and the art of representation itself.
The paradox of the sphere being a three-dimensional shape but appearing as a two-dimensional circle on paper invites us to contemplate the inherent limitations of our attempts to capture the multidimensional reality of ourselves and the world around us. It challenges our perceptions, encourages us to explore the nature of the lower format representation, and reminds us of the depth and complexity that exist beyond the flat confines of our visual interpretations.
Is perception with the senses reality or delusion?
