TIME-SPACE-CONSCIOUSNESS

"Consciousness give us an added dimension to our mental experience, a dimension that is "in depth" rather than time and space. J.G. Bennett

Traditional wisdom schools indicate that to function properly we need to become receptive to three independent sources of "information". The two primary sources of information come from the world of time and space. We start learning that two solid bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and so on,  but in order to move further or to grow up we need to realise that consciousness or depth resides in a deeper dimension than space and time.

"Christianity must accept unreservedly the new dimensions (spatial, temporal and psychological)

of the world around us" Teilhard de Chardin.

Our presence or our being, is neither located in the dimension of time nor in the dimension of space. Presence can´t fit in the dual world of cause and effect or the world of bodies.

Spiritual work referred sometimes as the practice of developing consciousness, lead us to the perception of inner depth. Depth leads us into the word of presence. We are here. Now!

The experience of our being here, now, is not a transcendental or third world experience; but the experience of "the third dimension of the one and the same world, opening us up to a more real union with reality" Raimon Panikkar, * 

The experience of the third dimension of the world we are living in, is a wake up call that may lead us to the search for higher levels of receptivity.

LAW OF THREE (43)

TIME-SPACE-ETERNITY (2)

" I am Absolute, I am timeless, infinite, and I am awareness, without being aware of awareness... Unless there is space and duration I cannot be conscious of myself." Nisargadatta Maharaj

Humanity suffers from a chronic case of mistaken identity referred to as the False Self, the Finite Self, the Ego-memory, the Personality, etc., all of which are inhabitants of the dual world of time and space

This temporal identity does not obscure completely the dimension of that Self which is present beyond time and space. The spiritual way could be described as the path which leads from a transient self  to the transcendental Self, or the journey from time to eternity.    

The transient identity of the ego is relativised  with the awareness of the presence of a third dimension of time (eternity) 

"The spiritual experience that we may call "mystical" does not put us in touch with a third world, but let us experience the third dimension of the one and the same world, opening us up to a more real union with reality" Raimon Panikkar, The Rhythm of Being, The Unbroken Trinity.

We identify ourselves with the transient and the finite. We derive our identity from the changing or the world of time and space, the next step consists on the awareness of the underlying presence of the third dimension of the one and the same world would open us up to a more real perception of reality.
