The Multi-Dimensional Universe

　We belong, ultimately, to the 'real world' which extends way beyond the three dimensions we are all familiar with, to a fourth and many other dimensions beyond. These dimensions should be thought of not as having physical properties and boundaries but rather as worlds in themselves, each having specific characteristics in terms of consciousness. We can each live on any of a number of different planes depending on the plane that our spiritual experience has reached.

　To use an analogy and liken the universe to the human body and the various layers of clothing that can be put upon it: the everyday world of the third dimension may be held to correspond to the completely naked figure. The fourth dimension then corresponds to the undergarments, the fifth to the shirt that overlies the undergarments, the sixth to the sweater on top of the shirt, the seventh to the suit that covers the sweater, and eighth to the full-flowing coat that envelops the suit. The ninth dimension might represent the hat upon the figure's head.

　The lower dimensions are completely enclosed by the higher ones while remaining in close contact with each other. The higher dimensions resemble the lower ones but have a higher purpose.
　The every day world in which we live is often said to be three-dimensional, but what does that mean? A dimension is a mode of existence; the number of dimensions denotes the directional potentialities inherent in the mode of existence.

Stages of Love

'Love others, nurture others, forgive others'

True love is a love that gives, a love that expects no reward. But love itself develops through several stages, a process that few people think about.
　What should we start by giving? A giving love begins with gratitude: we must give thanks to Buddha (God) for supplying us with what we need. And in doing this we will surely be moved to do something for this world that Buddha created, something that represents a gesture of repayment. This is the first step in giving love to other beings, and this is how we should begin.
　Once you have managed to achieve fundamental love you should then make the attempt to reach spiritually nurturing love, and once spiritually nurturing love has been attained you should strive to reach forgiving love, and finally your goal should be 'existence as love'.
