We often say that we live in a three-dimensional world. By “three-dimensional,” we mean three dimensions of space. In my humble understanding, I’ve always wondered why we refer to this as 3D, since all the dimensions are essentially aspects of space itself. Therefore, I would prefer to say that we live within the dimensions of space.

Yet, there is another realm we are subtly in touch with—just enough to maintain a connection, but never more than that. This is the realm of time. The realm of time, too, may have its own dimensions. Perhaps the past, present, and future are examples of these, or perhaps there are more—just as space can be imagined to have several or even infinite dimensional possibilities.

Humans seem to exist at the intersection of the realms of space and time. It is at these intersecting points that our full consciousness or experience takes place. Everything else—whether past, future, or imagined—is not part of our current reality in the same tangible way. The point of intersection between time and space appears to move in only one direction, which we perceive as moving from the past to the future. This moving point is what we call the present.

In fact, the past, present, and future may just be relative reference points rather than fixed, distinct dimensions. It’s entirely possible that the realm of time contains far more complex or significant dimensions—ones that we cannot yet comprehend.

Thus, humans, as complete beings, exist at the junction of at least two realms—with a strong presence in space and a limited interaction with time. It’s also possible, if we think rationally, that other forms of beings might exist: beings who share our space but are more fully present in the realm of time. As a result, we may barely perceive them.

Beyond space and time, there may be additional realms—ones I cannot speak about, as they lie beyond my knowledge and understanding. However, just as time imparts direction when it interacts with space, it’s conceivable that a further realm could influence time itself, adding another layer of directionality. This pattern might explain how the overall direction of existence, or destiny, is shaped.

While we occupy ourselves within the dimensions of space, life may extend far beyond it—truly beyond—into realms where space as we know it may no longer even exist for us.
