You may have heard someone refer to our experience on this planet as multi-dimensional or that we are ourselves multi-dimensional beings. 

We are, in fact, living in a multi-dimensional world and a multi-dimensional universe.  There is much to uncover around all of this but I’ll start by offering a simple analogy to describe the third, fourth and fifth dimensions.

The analogy I like to use is that of a seed in the ground. When the seed is just a seed, it exists under the surface of the earth and has no direct access to the sun. It exists in one dimension only and could be compared to the third dimension.  This seed, however, holds the full potential of what it will become.

As the seed begins to grow and breaks through the topsoil, it then has access to the light of the sun and begins its journey into the fourth dimension.  In this fourth dimensional experience, the seed becomes aware of who and what it is and the gifts contained inside of the seed start to become known. It continues to grow and expand until it reaches the fifth dimension where it blossoms and bears fruit. It is a fully realized seed and begins to share its gifts with the world.

A soul choosing to have a human experience comes here to remember itself as a soul. A soul who has not yet awakened, experiences life only in the third dimension. This means that the experiences they have are limited to the five physical senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell.  Anything that exists outside of the physical realm does not exist for them.

When a soul awakens, they have what is known as a heart opening experience; they reconnect and remember that they are a soul living in a human body. At this stage, they will now begin their journey experiencing the fourth dimension. Their five spiritual senses begin to awaken and they begin to see, feel, and hear what is beyond the physical realm.

When a soul continues to live more fully in the fourth dimension, with their hearts open and their spiritual senses awakened, they become conduits, or connectors, between the third and fifth dimensions.  

Living in the fifth dimension means that we are living as fully realized souls, fully aware of ourselves as a soul who is expressing their gifts and sharing their talents with the world.
