I've had a decent grasp on the concept of the 4th dimension and so forth but never a great way of explaining it. It's definitely an old video but Carl Sagan is very intelligent. This is one of the best presentations on the subject that I have seen. I began to ponder though after watching this. If a 4d object casts a 3d shadow, then are some of the things around us in this world merely shadows?

We think in fourth dimensionality and cast shadows of ourselves. Communication in a fourth dimension would consist of instant understanding of what was said or portrayed by thought. At least that is as far as I've gotten. Give or take a thousand steps.
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

I understand what you are saying, what would otherwise be known as the "Collective Concience". I never really looked at it that way though. Our souls exist in the 4th dimension or higher and are placed within 3d bodies.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

Ok, now that makes more sense. So then this world that we live in and the people we see and the events that unfold are just perceptions made by what would be the collective conscience? Am I correct in saying that?1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

I expected the first two comments to be 20 fold with a side of blunt's "I'll ram you home in all four dimensions" with a side of Lee and holmes sandwich. It's nice to have somewhat of a decent conversation on this. Can't expect too much posting on a BMW forum though. For the record I am into all this "crazy shit".1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury.
