There is a realm of existence that goes beyond our human experience, beyond what our senses can perceive and our minds can comprehend. It is a realm that is often referred to as the divine dimensions beyond. In this realm, time and space become fluid and malleable. It is a realm where the laws of physics that govern our world cease to apply, and new principles take hold. It is a realm where the boundaries between the self and the other dissolve, and unity and interconnectedness are the prevailing truths. The divine dimensions beyond are the realms of the gods, the angels, and the spiritual entities that exist beyond the material world.

The ideas presented here come from chapter one of a new book called Imagining the Tenth Dimension a new way of thinking about time and space , written by Rob Bryanton. If that paper is now folded in the middle, we create a way for our Flatlander Ant to magically disappear from one position in his two-dimensional world and be instantly transported to another.
The divine dimensions beyond are the realms of the gods, the angels, and the spiritual entities that exist beyond the material world. It is a realm of pure consciousness, where everything is made of energy and vibration. It is a realm where the divine essence resides, and where the source of all creation emanates.
The Four Dimensions – Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical
Both secular and Torah sources discuss that human beings experience the world in four Dimensions: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. For example, eating occurs primarily in the physical dimension. Love is an emotional experience. Learning takes place in the mental realm. And prayer is a spiritual pursuit.
Each Dimension has four important aspects:
core components, through which we experience that Dimension best
a flourishing currency, the thing that you are trying to access in that Dimension
a primary good habit that we need to cultivate
a deterrent that keeps us from flourishing
Although we experience the world in all four Dimensions, they are not equivalent. There is a hierarchy which starts with the Physical Dimension, where we are focused on self and which becomes increasingly less self-centered as we move towards the Spiritual Dimension, where we are focused on God. Let’s take a look at some examples of this.
The pleasure of the Physical Dimension is completely self-focused; that chocolate cake tastes great, but that’s only because I like chocolate cake, it has nothing to do with anyone else. Emotional happiness, achieved through positive relationships, involves me and at least one other person. When I move up to finding meaning in the Mental Dimension, I’m even more outwardly focused and involved in pursuits that help others and improve the world. Finally, purpose in the Spiritual Dimension places God at the center of all my activities, it’s about what He wants, not what I want.
The lines between Dimensions are porous, meaning that flourishing in one Dimension often creates flourishing in another. Indeed, that’s one of the goals of Four Dimensional Flourishing, to take an activity in one dimension and raise it to a higher level. For example, eating a delicious Yom Tov meal is a physical pleasure that becomes spiritual when I’m focused on the fact that this is the type of pleasure that Hashem has commanded me to have on Yom Tov.
At the same time, two different activities might cause flourishing in the same Dimension but they may be of a very different quality. For example, eating a delicious weekday meal will provide physical pleasure but might also make me happy, which is an emotional state. Doing something meaningful, like volunteer work will make me happy as well, but it’s easy to see that these are different types of happiness. The happiness from pleasure ends after the last bite, while the happiness from meaning is more deep seated and enduring.
The chart below summarizes the Four Dimensions and the overview that we have just covered. You might want to refer to the chart as we discuss each Dimension individually.
In this realm, everything is connected. There is no separation or distinction between one being and another, for all are part of the same divine tapestry. It is a realm of pure love and light, where compassion and kindness are the guiding principles. To enter the divine dimensions beyond, one must transcend the limitations of the physical world and open themselves to the infinite possibilities that exist. It requires a shift in consciousness, a letting go of attachment to the material and a surrendering to the divine will. In the divine dimensions beyond, there is no suffering or pain, for these are the products of the human experience. Instead, there is only love, peace, and joy. It is a realm of infinite beauty and wonder, where every moment is a sacred revelation. While the divine dimensions beyond may seem abstract and elusive to our human minds, they are not beyond our reach. Through meditation, prayer, and spiritual practices, we can tap into these realms and experience the divine essence within ourselves. By connecting with the divine dimensions beyond, we can awaken to our true nature and realize our fullest potential. We can transcend the limitations of the physical world and become vessels for the divine light to shine through. The divine dimensions beyond hold the keys to our spiritual awakening and evolution. They are the realms of pure consciousness and infinite possibility. By embracing these dimensions, we can transform ourselves and the world around us, and step into a higher state of being..
