Reality- what a concept!

Everything changes and nothing changes. Trying to define the differences between realities, dimensions, and universes can be a challenge. But it is important concepts to understand as these are the macro fields our consciousness works in. Simply put a universe is the sum total of the physical reality which we all reside in.

A parallel universe is the exact same as this universe except for one change. For instance it might be a universe where you died at age 12 and then things proceeded to move apart from this universe. There is an infinite amount of parallel universes according to the mathematics of physics. A dimension is an aspect of any given universe.

We understand single dimensions intuitively. It is simply a line on a piece of flat paper. Two dimensional is an additional line or figure that intersects that line. Three dimensional is adding space so that all can be seen from any perspective. We used to believe that we lived in 3 dimensional space, but Einstein changed that when he added the dimension of time and called it the fourth dimension.

We have now refined that relativity theory and ideas such as “String Theory” postulate many more (up to 11 depending on which mathematics you believe). Reality is a little harder to define, as there are so many caveats, but to put it very simply it is what is at both the perceptual and non perseptual level combined. That is where the terms ordinary reality” and non ordinary reality come into play.”

It is believed by some, myself included, that non ordinary reality constitutes all of the infinite universes but in the realm of energy rather then matter and antimatter. And what is the matter with that?
