Chapter 84

Perspectives and Multidimensional Existence

This aspect of multiple dimensions is talked about as if it is science fiction.  But what if the science fiction is hinting at what is actually reality.

The center skull is a term used at Trackerschool to illustrate how a happening can be experienced by two different people in two very different ways, depending on the perspective of each person; just like a skull can be drawn or described differently depending on where the witness is standing.

The same message is told in the story of the blind men describing an elephant.  The one standing by the tail says the elephant is like a rope.  The one standing at the ear says the elephant is like a large leaf.  The one standing at the feet says the elephant is like the trunk of a tree.  The one standing at the tusk says the elephant is like a smooth curved bone … and on and on.  Each man is describing their experience of the elephant; each description is correct; yet each description is completely different because none of the descriptions are complete.

My son used to ask me what superpower I would want if I could choose one.  My answer was that I would want to be able to show a person another person’s perspective in it’s entirety.  I think that would solve a lot of problems in communication, and open doors to love and understanding.

To go along with that, if we could care about others as much as we care about ourselves, I think that caring would put an end to a lot of wars, conflicts, and strife.

But that would make life a bit too easy, wouldn’t it?  There would be no struggle.  There would be harmony and utopia.

There was an elective in my high school called Utopia.  I didn’t take the class but I often wondered what it would be like to be in a group trying to collectively approach that subject.  Honestly, I inwardly scoffed at the class because it seemed like a bunch of energy wasted on an impossible subject.  That was a rather unfair judgement, maybe.

Some people get mad at God for all the trouble in the world.  Some say they don’t believe in God because why would God let bad things happen to good people.  It comes down to whether we think a just God would allow us to have freedom of choice or not.

If God controlled everything and no one was tempted to do bad things, or was capable of doing bad things, everything would be great.  No one would hurt anyone.

Would it be possible for anyone to even be injured?  Would there be car accidents still?  Would there be disease that is no one’s fault?  Or would we would be like toddlers in specially controlled environments, with all that we need and no germs or sharp objects?

As it is, we get to experience all the different emotions ranging from the best, most pleasurable; to the worst, most painful.  And for what?  For experience.

I think of when we women get together and compare stories of labor and birth.  Sometimes, the more difficult  the event, the more interesting the story is to tell, and the more enthusiastically we tell it.  For example:

“I was in labor for 36 hours and got sent home from the hospital 4 times before they finally let me stay, even though I was only dilated one and a half centimeters.”

“The doctor didn’t listen to me when I told him I was going to rip!  He had me put my knees to my ears, flat on my back, like I was going to shoot that baby to the moon!  He yelled at me to push until finally I did, and I ripped wide open!  I looked like hamburger down there!  The doctor looked shocked and stitched me up very shakily.  But - I have to say, he did a good job stitching me up … It’s like I was a virgin again!”

What would we do without these experiences we wear proudly, like war wounds.

Listening to hunting stories, or war stories, or stories of divorce horrors; all are experiences that leave us with knowledge and hopefully introspection and wisdom.

Some people believe that we are parts of God and our experiences are also experienced by God, giving God a fullness of knowledge of us and everything around us.  That’s an interesting perspective.  One previous boyfriend said he liked to think he was letting God experience downhill skiing.

If God experiences each and everything we experience from our own personal perspective, then God must be a truly multidimensional being, because each of our experiences are like seeing life from a particular dimension or perspective.  And God would see our perspectives from everywhere anyone is, and at every moment in time.

Also, we, by choice, can alter our perspective at will by choosing how we look at something.  We can look from a selfish point of view; we can look from an altruistic point of view; we can look from a practical point of view; we can look from a victim point of view; we can look from an angry point of view; we can look from a detached point of view; etc.

Each of these points of view puts us in a specific vibrational space, or energetic signature, and we will get something very different from the experience depending on our point of view.

Personally I tend to live from a fairly detached place of blissful creativity.  I seldom dip into my more painful feelings - they hurt too much.

That could be why I often dream I can levitate and float above everything.  Funnily, each time I dream that I think I have finally discovered how to levitate in real life and that I am awake, only to discover when I wake up that it was a dream.
