Different dimensions

[ginrup1]

I’ve watched several interviews with Dr. Kastrup, and he clearly states that consciousness survives after death. And that matter is like our consciousness expressing itself, if I said that correctly. Is it possible to express it in a way in another dimension, like when we die? I have heard of actual structures and landscapes in these other dimensions.

It does seem like both space and time are emergent. Also there are good reasons in physics to think that there are extra dimensions to these 4 dimensions. Ever since Oskar Klein, most scientists have imagined these extra dimensions as being “rolled up” at each point in space. To me this is a ridiculous way of thinking about them - presumably an artefact of the whole cartesian mindset.

If instead we think of time and space as emerging from a more fundamental substrate, then things fit together in a far more sensible way. And yes, I would not be at all surprised if it’s our bodies that ‘hold’ us in space, and that death is a kind of change to the way we connect with the wider structure of creation.

Very speculative of course, but while physicists are stuck in their crazy Kuzla-Klein assumptions, all we can really do is speculate.
