The Unified Field 2

To continue:

Neither label ("choosing" or "creating") tells the whole story.  I'm a little more comfortable with calling what we're doing "driving".  The word has two meanings, probably connected.  What we do to a car is probably derived from what we used to do to a team of horses, and that in turn is probably derived from what we do to a nail.  As we're moving through the scenery our view is constantly changing, and sometimes we forget that we're actors in it, and our very presence changes the totality of it even before we count our perceptions and thoughts as part of that Universe.

If we have a destination we're likely going to take a more direct route than if we're just wandering aimlessly around the landscape and happen to land at that place by accident.  We are continually choosing the points that we pass through as we drive.  As human actors, we can steer through our reality to our goals, goals that we acquire by deciding that we want them.  But our driving to a destination is a bit simpler than driving toward a life goal. We don't always know how to get to our life goals. Nevertheless, the metaphor holds in that we're making myriads of decisions along whatever kind of route  (physical or metaphysical) that we take.

Back to dimensions.  Just for a moment let's put all 11 dimensions on a numbered line: 1) left/right 2) front/back 3) up/down 4) splar/quark, etc.  What if the dimensions you're sensing on the tip of your nose at this instant aren't 1, 2, and 3?  What if they're 3, 5, and 11?  What if they're 1, 6, and 9 to your sense of touch and 4, 6, and 7 to your visual sense?  It feels (sense of touch) like an insect is perched on it, but you can see (sense of sight) that it's a wasp.  If it were 4,6, and 8 to your eye it would have been a caterpillar.  Taking either path would have left either the wasp or the caterpillar in another universe.  You chose the caterpillar, so now you're standing in 4, 6, and 8, but it's not as though you noticed a change. In fact, it looks so much like 1, 2, and 3 (except for that caterpillar) that you get the idea that it's always 1, 2, and 3.  In one universe everything you're seeing really is in 1, 2, and 3 except for a caterpillar/wasp sized bubble at the end of your nose.  If you had put on the red shirt this morning, everything except the bubble is in 1, 3, and 5.

In fact, every point that you perceive exists in all 11 dimensions, but our equipment can only pick up three of them.  And it's rarely the same three.  And it might not be the same three that it was a moment ago. It all depends on the consciousness/branching.

Now, if you can't tell which three dimensions your 5-sense/dimensional perceptual field is perceiving at any point in space/time, then it cannot be proven that all the possibilities that could be created at any point don't already exist there and (because one dimension is Time) always have existed there.  And you could also exist in all of them and always have.

Now doesn't that make you infinite?

Acceptance

We hear a great deal about Acceptance these days, as though it were some state that required some effort, some discipline, some method to attain.  What is overlooked is that Acceptance is what Consciousness does all the time.  Moment to moment a parade of sensations, thoughts, and feeling is always going on.  First a marching band, then the guys on the miniature motorcycles, then a gaudy float, then a street theater group, then ....  Everything is accepted by Consciousness in turn.

We humans, however, tend to confuse the judges' clipboards in the reviewing stand with Acceptance.  That acceptance (small "a") is the fruit of judgement.  As each event passes by, a "Yes" or "No" is generated by the judges.  But Consciousness Accepts this judgement the same way it Accepts everything else that passes by.  "Input Accepted. Next."

Where we create pain is in the decision that the judgement has Meaning for us, and in the turning our attention to "I Need to Do Something About This".   If we rather turn our attention to the Acceptance that Consciousness is doing all the time, the problem disappears.
