A Fifth Dimension?

[H'ethetheth]

Iacchus, I might point something out to you:
When you say "consciousness is a dimension" in the context of this discussion, the people you're talking to take this to mean: "If necessary, consciousness can be measured in meters in some direction perpendicular to familiar space-time". This makes as little sense to them as it does to you.

Some examples of dimensions:
- temperature
- density
- number of chocolate chips
- nutrition value
- flour content relative to average

Incidentally, Here's a cookie:

[21.3ºC, 671kg/m^3, 14, 1854 kJ/100g, 1.0023]

Hope this helps.

Consciousness is "the center" (5), existing at all points (1) all the time (4). Much in the way the past and the future don't exist, to the extent that it's centered around "the moment."

Iacchus,
Haven't we been down this road before?

Do I really have to go Quabbalistic on yer a$$?

At all points, all the time ? How come I exist only here and now ?

Exactly! Time and space comes together in the "here and now!" So, no matter where we go, we will always find ourselves "in the center."

That sounds remarkably circular.
