The Atlanteans operated on this superior level of existence, connected to their Higher Selves. With the fall of Atlantis, humanity experienced a struggle for survival and became aware of the "lower self", dominated by the will of the ego.
Now, after thousands of years of evolution, most people have forgotten not only how to connect with higher dimensions, but also that it is even possible to do so. Psychics and mystics have long been known for their abilities to transcend other realities and dimensions. An individual whose consciousness was not attuned to this ability often feared these individuals who could transcend other dimensions.
The Fourth Dimension
The Fourth Dimension exists in the range of frequencies from twenty-two through twenty-eight. This dimension is often called "the astral plane" and is the residence of some disembodied souls until they can be fully transformed and integrated into the higher planes of existence. It is also the transition between the physical world and the higher worlds of the Celestials.
It is a challenging dimension, presently hosting the "Battle of Armageddon", or the fight to transcend forces of opposition and transmute all into the Light. Until Earth moves through this dimension on its path through the precession of the equinoxes, and gets firmly anchored in the Fifth Dimension, people everywhere will be challenged by these unseen forces.
Time And Space
Scientists add the variable of time to those of length, width and depth when defining the Fourth Dimension. Time is an extension into the past and future, and is defined as being dependent upon matter. In his theory of relativity, Einstein often refers to time itself as the Fourth Dimension. His system requires four coordinates for determining a location within space. He also refers to this dimension as a time/space continuum, because these two components (time and space) are not absolutes. They relate only to an individual´s movement through space.
Time serves to help us awaken our memories of who and what we are. In dimensions higher than the Third Dimension, we can traverse time, moving back into past lives and then forward into the future. In other words, we can return again and again in a cyclical pattern through the totality of our existence. Now this process comprises a spiral which goes upward and onward in an never-ending path. Spirals are circular patterns with the dimension of time added. Life evolves in a spiral motion through all the dimensions - beginning with the mineral kingdom and moving on to the higher dimensions. The lower kingdoms support and sustain the higher dimensions, allowing a never-ending path of evolution.
An Etheric Dimension
The Fourth Dimension portrays the vibration that begins to open the heart. It is an etheric dimension that acts as a portal, providing a pathway to higher worlds. This is accomplished through vibrations that resonate higher than the physical, dense world of matter. It is a dimension that demands that we learn to forgive before we are allowed to exit from its frequency.
The Fourth Dimension provides us with experiences ( a new curriculum, if you will) that require us to choose life-styles and behaviours that may be considerably different from those which we exhibited in the past.
The sense of duality is still present in this dimension, and individuals transiting through the Fourth Dimension continue to see things as good/evil, male/female, and light/dark -- all carry-overs from the Third Dimension. Upon entering fourth-dimensional consciousness, however, individuals strive to work through their personal "stuff" and often work endlessly to solve problems related to duality. This is a dimension that must be experienced in order to achieve higher consciousness.
Understanding Oneness
Slowly, the understanding of Oneness (the curriculum of the Fifth Dimension) begins to creep into one´s consciousness. Because of the new knowledge and increased Light, solutions to problems become more evident. This new state of higher consciousness leads to a hunger for more knowledge, requiring that an individual either choose the higher concepts of truth and enlightenment or return to the third-dimensional realities of duality, rebirth and suffering. This is a difficult decision for most people, because choosing higher consciousness and realities requires the individual to change.
It has been said that the reason the Master Jesus incarnated 2.000 years ago was to open this fourth-dimensional portal. He did this through his teaching of love and forgiveness, which open the heart to higher consciousness. By demonstrating greater love than we experience in the physical, an individual moves through time/space into a state of higher consciousness. This form of love embraces an attitude toward oneself and humanity that eliminates judgement and eventually guides the person to follow higher truths and wisdom, such as the Buddha also taught in the teachings on the Eightfold Path .
