“just-us” 3D reality/illusion does seem to be only one dimension among many. There’s truly a vast universe(s) out there to be discovered consciously. Limiting our awareness and experiences to only 5 senses, etc, seems silly to me. If we are more than this then it is a natural rational function to explore all we can be (and w/o joining the army...lol).

But we should also be careful in becoming addicted to the journey and new discoveries. It seems more important to me to refine and master ones sphere of influence each moment-to-moment along the way. Why clutter up an already confused psyche with more stimuli and phenomenon when one is not even consciously connected here on planet earth?

Regarding multi-dimensional experiences and progression. There is a spiritual perspective that humans are at a particular stage of incarnation while in 3D where they can make volitional choices unique to this dimension to either evolve or devolve. Energy flows where attention goes.

As such, it depends on what type of energy you spent most of your time with. Everything, every thought, feelings, etc, vibrates a perceivable energy. We just need to become attuned to it. How do the things I spend my time with daily feel? Are they putting off a higher (elevated/light) or lower (base/dark) frequency? It doesn’t take long to develop the awareness to “feel” what type of energy a thing, person or place puts off.

A simple method everyone can do daily for measuring one’s predominate psychological energy (vibe) is to keep a dream journal. In doing this you will see patterns in how your subconscious and conscious minds are processing your daily experiences (absorbing them like a sponge). In a relatively short period of time you’ll get a sense of the overall vibe your psyche is focused on.

If you want to change your vibe then surround yourself with things, people, ideas, exercise, food, etc, that harmonize with you. In practice this is a significant challenge to be sure and there is usually a lot of trial and error but with perseverance you’ll see success.

Finally, let me interject here and say that all which glitters is not necessarily gold. Now I hope this doesn’t confuse anyone as it has been a significant challenge for me. But in spiritual work there is a tendency to ascribe the term “beneficial” only with “light” and cast “dark” aside. In my experience dark can have as significant value. Ultimately it may turn out that a Balance of polarities (Light/dark) is needed as opposed to a predilection for either alone. This is a tricky issue.

One particular view is that the challenge has nothing to do with either polarity in that they are both in the realm of Illusion. That we are supposed to learn detachment and cease ALL motion. Motion being equated with “desire”. That all animated existence (the multi-dimensional universes, etc) are a trap. Ultimately being escaped only when we still our minds (thoughts), feelings (desires) and attain Enlightenment or God-Union and what some of the Eastern sects call Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Nirvana, Satori, etc.
