The Lexicon
Time, reality, and cosmos
Dimensions
Dimensions, in the esoteric and channeled traditions, are the graded planes of reality through which consciousness ascends and descends. The physical is only the densest; above and within it lie subtler orders, the astral, the mental, the spiritual, each a level of vibration and a field of experience. The cosmos is pictured as a living ladder of being.
Theosophy mapped these planes in careful detail, and channeled teachings such as Seth and Bashar describe a multidimensional self that lives on many levels at once. To explore the dimensions is to learn that awareness is not confined to one frequency, and that the journey inward is also a journey through worlds. The map invites the seeker to travel, in meditation and in dream, beyond the single plane of the senses.
In their words
Choose your highest excitement and act on it to the best of your ability.
You create your own reality, and you do so across many dimensions of being at once.
There are planes of nature, and the human constitution answers to them, principle by principle.
Man is a being of many planes, living at once in worlds within worlds.
