My revelations, not sudden or anything but I think important:
With all due respect to everyone's belief systems...none of us really "know" anything. We cling to what makes sense for us to keep from going insane...
Revelation 2: The meaning of my life has been directly shown to me in the birth of my child. I have never felt a more sense of bliss...better than any drug or any other sensation....

When I was younger I finnally figured out that the reason time holds no meaning for me is because it does'nt really exist. It's just something we came up with to measure things like growth and decay.

The 5th dimension is considered by many to be the spirit world. Hence an entitiy or GOD, who would be a 5th dimensional being, would not be bound by time. He/she/it, would be able to go to any period of time, like opening a page in a book, and even rewrite that page!

Originally posted by arrakisSome physicists say there are up to 11 dimensions. 4 dimensional space-time unfolded as the universe expanded, the rest stayed curled up small.
