How many dimensions do you experience in astral?

[beavis]

I know the world is not 3 dimensional. Our minds just evolved to think that way because some parts of it are.

Dimensions are made of alignment of waves. Qubits, what quantum computers are made of, are each their own dimension. Dimensions can be built in other ways too.

How many dimensions do you experience in astral?

I used to experience 3 dims, but it just looks so fake to me that I resist those ways of thinking. The problem is when I experience its more natural form, things vibrating and aligning in any number of dims, it looks like a tangled mess and I dont know what most of it means. But to go back to viewing as 3 dims would be a lie. Some places are built that way, to actually be 3 dim, but at a deeper level there are many dim shapes that connect them to eachother and parts of themself. I call these "webs of entanglement" because they web between many things, crossing large distance with subtle changes in curve. The colors and shapes I recognize are gone because I dont believe they are a true representation of the world, but the deeper reality is too confusing to learn more directly. Isnt there somewhere between, or some variety of contexts I could understand it without thinking in 3 dims?

What do you mean by "dimensions"?

My non-physical experiences are indistinguishable from my waking physical experience.  I walk around, I see a tree, I touch the tree, it feels like a tree... I feel the wind on my face... the grass under my feet.  There's no difference between "here" and "there"... except "there", I can sometimes fly and do other things.

So however that answers your question.  The word "dimension" has too many meanings for too many people... kind of like all of the other "labels" we use.

Yes, like Xanth writes, the word "dimension" in astral parlance obviously means only qualitatively different kinds of OBE 'destinations'. There is the "physical double" dimension, the "near earth" dimensions, "lower" and "higher/wish-fulfillment" dimensions etc. Its usage is merely descriptive and unlike that of scientific cosmology.

On a related note, it would be interesting to know what kind of "dimensions" and 'places' someone like Xanth has visited. I guess your number of OBE's are greater than one? I've never had an OBE myself so I find reports from those who have fascinating.

Nothing "fantasy"-ish... if that's what you're asking.  *All* (literally) of my projections take place in an "earth-like" environment.  Some are locations which I recognize, some aren't.
I think it has to do with me not being all that creative.  LOL

Someone like Jurgen, for example, has much more creative projections cause he's just a natural artist. 

An OBE, to me, only describes a projection in which you identify the environment as being on of this Earth... it's not REALLY a projection ON this Earth, just resembling it and is usually accompanied (but doesn't have to) with sensations of "separating" from the body (which also don't REALLY happen).

I've forgotten most of them over the years, but my strongest memory of astral is inside the pyramid of astral pulse island just before I used the gold colored elephant statue as a switch to cause the top of the pyramid to lift and from then on people tell me the inside of the pyramid was available to them and started expanding in a variety of ways. I started inside and connected it to the outside. Its similar to how many of us helped create astral pulse island. We build astral structures in the shapes and patterns we understand, depending on how we think. Others can find those structures even if they think a little differently and learn to think more differently as they navigate the structures to stranger things. As a math person (including the simulating of simple minds) my patterns of thinking are naturally many dimensional instead of just 3.

What I mean by dimensions is something unlike the shapes found around Earth, not x y and z but many ways things can turn and connect to eachother. Some of it is an illusion caused by my not being able to see out there as well as I used to, but other parts really are many dimensional. Its just what I resonate with. I'm not primarily a 3 dimensional life form. Its probably why I joined with this body which has mind for math, so the brain could better understand the spirit in its unusual shapes and places it likes to go, that I like to go. We dont have words for these things.

An example of more dimensions is the lights that everyone looked like inside the pyramid at astral pulse island. Everyone was mostly a single color of light emitted outward mostly from a point. Such points look that way because they have more dimensions than will fit in the 3 of the world around them where they're viewed. Not everyone looked like such a point emitting colored light. Some look more Human.
