flight of the butterfly, rising free
Very deep within me
I feel the wonder of your presence
We are alive in perfect oneness
Sacred connected whole
A point of light has no depth, no width, no length. It is thus without dimension.
A line, looked at from the right perspective, looks like this point of light; rotated, it is a line stretching forever. It has length. It is one dimension. Rotating perspective again, the line, stretching to infinity in two directions, becomes a plane - two dimensions, length and width. Rotating again, the plane takes on a new dimension; its infinite length and width are added to the new measure of depth. A universe is born - three dimensions, ready to be inhabited, but still, empty.
Time is the next dimension; in time, our new universe is given the capacity to support perception and understanding. Time moves with us; the universal snapshot is entered and left. Behind time is past - inaccessible to understanding and perception, yet still existing; it must still exist, else time would not have meaning.
The fourth dimension, time, is followed by a fifth, choice. Choice decides which time path each of us individually and separately ride. We are faced with infinite choices and forks and decisions; each creates a new and infinite set of universes in our wakes; we ride the waves of time, selecting the time wave, in the universal space (three dimensional) we see as this existence.
This dimension, choice, is followed by a sixth, creation. Each choice creates a new instant. In each instant, a new universe is born. As there are a plethora of choices in a multitude of moments, each having infinite potential, infinite universes are born; universes spring for each of the possible paths. This dimension is the place of energy, of power, of love.
The dimension of creation is followed by the seventh dimension, being. To be, to exist, to know, to live, all the previous dimensions are required - height, width, length, time, choice, creation... We have found ourselves in space and in time; we face and make choices; we create what we choose. Then, we simply exist in that which we have created.
The more we allow these truths to be accepted, the more we are at peace in our ultimate place of destiny, quite simply, to be.
I see the point of light.
Shifting perception, a line is formed;
Shifting again, a new plane;
Once more, infinite space.
In space, time is needed to bridge the gap of understanding. (I see.)
In time, choices are made. (I will.)
Choosing the path, creation blooms. (I can.)
In creation, existence flows. (I am.)
