Yesterday and again this morning, I thought about something rather interesting, to me anyway. Sometimes random things go through my head and this happens to be one of them. Take it however you like… I just want to put this down somewhere, and hopefully get a little input from other people.
I was thinking about the notion of multiple dimensions and how they are perceived by me (and possibly other humans). Originally, I think I was pondering how a supreme being could exist in more dimensions than we can experience. I had a thought that when I experience a sense of déjà vu, I am really experiencing a form of another dimension.
Now, I realize that some scientists have discarded déjà vu as an impulse in the brain, where the signal is sent to the short term memory at the same time it is perceived by the senses/mind. That gives you the feeling that you have seen the same place/been in the same situation before because while you’re experiencing it, you also think that you are remembering it from a previous time. The fact that you can’t place the time has to do with it all happening at that particular moment… Anyway…
Back to my theory… Déjà vu seems to be interpreted as something like a mental image, feeling, sensation, or any combination of those. In this case, my déjà vu would actually have been me experiencing a different dimension, but I interpreted it in a way that I had felt like I had experienced it before. Perhaps I had… I can’t be sure that other dimensions exist and if they do, whether or not I can interact with them (consciously or subconsciously).
To put this another way… instead of typing this blog entry, say I was sitting on a beautiful island beach with the warm breeze blowing through my hair. I would be experiencing a different set of emotions and thoughts. Now say that was still happening, but in a different dimension, apart from my current state. Through some sort fluke (call it what you will), my current state sort of latched into the emotions, thoughts, or just a stream of randomness that would be going on in that other dimension. The only way that I can currently explain this is a feeling of déjà vu, when in actuality, it could have just been a multidimensional communication…
Now, to put this in even more abstract terms, think about this… Perhaps this is the only dimension where my physical body exists. There could be a dimension, that some portion of me (a part of my soul, for example) exists in, where only thoughts are present. Maybe it’s the “me” in that dimension attempting to communicate with this one, and I’m just not completely aware how to, in this dimension…
So to go back to something that I have thought of in times past… While at certain concerts, I wondered if the artist was feeding off the energy of those around them in order to tap into a stream of energy. That stream of energy could from be a different dimension. When the artists were “in the zone” it seemed as though they were not quite paying attention to what was going on around them, but instead just hooked up to another source of input and describing it through their music/performance.
That’s what I have for now.. Maybe I’ll come back to this, but in any case hopefully this isn’t too confusing…
