“Scientists say that somewhere in the universe, every event under the sun repeats itself an infinite number of times in every possible variation.”
Romina Russell, Zodiac

Edwin A. Abbott
“The little Hexagon meditated on this a while and then said to me; "But you have been teaching me to raise numbers to the third power: I suppose three-to-the-third must mean something in Geometry; what does it mean?" "Nothing at all," replied I, "not at least in Geometry; for Geometry has only Two Dimensions." And then I began to shew the boy how a Point by moving through a length of three inches makes a Line of three inches, which may be represented by three; and how a Line of three inches, moving parallel to itself through a length of three inches, makes a Square of three inches every way, which may be represented by three-to-the-second. xxx Upon this, my Grandson, again returning to his former suggestion, took me up rather suddenly and exclaimed, "Well, then, if a Point by moving three inches, makes a Line of three inches represented by three; and if a straight Line of three inches, moving parallel to itself, makes a Square of three inches every way, represented by three-to-the-second; it must be that a Square of three inches every way, moving somehow parallel to itself (but I don't see how) must make Something else (but I don't see what) of three inches every way—and this must be represented by three-to-the-third."

"Go to bed," said I, a little ruffled by this interruption: "if you would talk less nonsense, you would remember more sense.”
Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

“To me, the rainbow was a profoundly hopeful symbol, separating the the white light of appearances into its multiple spectrum and revealing a hidden dimension. It reminded me of my belief that it was the mission of science to pierce through the layers of everyday reality and penetrate to the truth.”
Candace B. Pert, Molecules Of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine

M.C. Escher
“«It is impossible for the inhabitants of different worlds to walk or sit or stand on the same floor, because they have differing conceptions of what is horizontal and what is vertical. Yet they may well share the use of the same staircase. On the top staircase illustrated here, two people are moving side by side and in the same direction, and yet one of them is going downstairs and the other upstairs. Contact between them is out of the question because they live in different worlds and therefore can have no knowledge of each other's existence.»”
M.C. Escher, M.C. Escher: The Graphic Work

Terry Pratchett
“The living often don’t appreciate how complicated the world looks when you are dead, because while death frees the mind from the straitjacket of three dimensions it also cuts it away from Time, which is only another dimension. So while the cat that rubbed up against his invisible legs was undoubtedly the same cat that he had seen a few minutes before, it was also quite clearly a tiny kitten and a fat, half-blind old moggy and every stage in between. All at once. Since it had started off small it looked like a white, catshaped carrot, a description that will have to do until people invent proper four-dimensional adjectives.”
Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

Idries Shah
“Sufis deny the absolute reality of time, space and physical form. These things are both relative and local. They only appear to be absolute.”
Idries Shah, Sufi Thought and Action: An Anthology of Important Papers

Michael  Sanders
“I sit up and stare with eyes closed, perceiving the infinity of this dimension, so grateful to experience this, comfortable with the idea of this journey either ending shortly or continuing forever.”
Michael Sanders, Ayahuasca: An Executive's Enlightenment

“Our partners can add sweet dimensions to our lives, but for us to be utterly fulfilled we need to be totally aligned with our own sensuality.”
Lebo Grand

Warren Ellis
“In the long run, you see, none of that matters.

I've seen Heaven, Dowling. And it's not a place where you exercise any power.

In the long run, we are all three-dimensional side-effects of a two-dimensional universe existing in a multidimensional stack.”
Warren Ellis

Randall Munroe
“I would say time is definitely one of my top three favorite dimensions.”
Randall Munroe

“The lucky ones are those who take every opportunity and turn every life experience onto truth seeking adventure. They end up full filled with deeper dimensions of pleasure and spirit satisfaction.

Sameh Elsayed

“In our process of spiritual maturity, our faith needs to attain bigger dimensions”
Sunday Adelaja

Ron Padgett
“Another One'

When you’re a child you learn there are three dimensions
Height, width and depth
Like a shoebox
Then later you hear there’s a fourth dimension
Time
Hmm
Then some say there can be five, six, seven…

I knock off work
Have a beer at the bar
I look down at the glass and feel glad.



'Poem'

I’m in the house
It’s nice out
Warm
Sun on cold snow
First day of spring
Or last day of winter

My legs run up the stairs
And out the door
My top half here writing.”
Ron Padgett, Complete Poems

Atala Dorothy Toy
“The only difference between people who say they cannot perceive interdimensionally and people who consciously communicate interdimensionally is intent and practice. Most people access interdimensional information unconsciously. When they experience conscious contact with a non-human energy, they tend to pass it off as a curiosity or as intuition, or they cancel out the experience as too weird to deal with.”
Atala Dorothy Toy, We Are Not Alone: A Complete Guide to Interdimensional Cooperation

“In the end, it all comes down to the Blood...”
Nathan Walsh

Steven Redhead
“Open up your heart enables expansion of the dimensions of the conscious states.”
Steven Redhead, Unleash The Power of Your Heart and Mind

Brownell Landrum
“Love transcends dimensions of time and space.”
Brownell Landrum, Repercussions: DUET stories Volume IV - Adult Version

“Time may be defined as " dimension governed by activity." Dimension diminishes with inactivity so does the value of time.”
Moutasem Algharati

Claudia Gray
“Listen to me. When a physicist starts talking about souls, we are officially off the map.”
Claudia Gray, Ten Thousand Skies Above You

“A particular behavior moves through a system in the same way as cars move on the roadways. On the interstate, you have a large macro motion followed by main roads connecting cities and the smaller roads connecting towns and tract streets or dirt roads. As a fractal structure, the dimensions of some fields are like the interstate (think Sierpinski gasket), where one path goes a great distance and another one is very short, and when you add self organization to the mix, these behaviors begin to exhibit distinctions and influences of greater and greater complexity moving into deeper and finer levels.
Think of each dimension as a particular path on the fractal.”
Rick Delmonico, The Philosophy of Fractals

“When it comes to LOVE there is no winning. It's all about LOSING. To feel the TRUE presence of love, you have to lose yourself completely for that special person. Losing is just a sign of getting yourself ready to see the WINNING from different dimension ;)”
Suresh Rao (Founder of rollnreel.com)

“Watching black and white movies at the cinema is like seeing the world in several different dimensions, as much as seeing the colors in the eyes of the spectators.”
Alan Maiccon

“Hypothetical sphere, with dynamic dimensionality. We will ignore the dynamics that cause the sphere to increase in size. The volume is expressed as a wave on the surface with the fundamental frequency representing a point at the center of the sphere this wave is equal across the entire surface. Every other point inside of the sphere is represented on the surface by a frequency that rises as each point nears the surface. The surface behaves like a hologram. The quanta, or discreteness, lives in the ratios and as the resolution changes so too does the dimensionality of the forces involved, gravity being the most course grained. The unification of the forces can be described as a computational fractal dimensionality.”
R.A. Delmonico

“If, one succeeds or fails in life; it becomes aware of it, and learns both dimensions of that.”
Ehsan Sehgal

“When does a wave behave like a particle?
When one or more dimensions collapse to zero or nearly zero.
Action in a field creates the spacetime it inhabits and dimensions, like particles, may be virtual.
Gravity is a variation of scale and ratio is the only thing that is discrete.”
R.A. Delmonico

“Happiness is a state of mind, so our miseries and joy come from living in any of the three dimensions of time—past, present and future. Hence, if we wish to live happily, we must learn to remove sufferings not only from the present, but also from the past and future.”
Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness

Awdhesh Singh
“Our mind is working all the time with two goals in sight: first is to minimise the pain and the second is to maximise the happiness. In its attempt to achieve its twin objectives, it is always moving back and forth in the three dimensions of time so that it can heal the pain and bring happiness to the present.”
Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness

Awdhesh Singh
“In order to bring lasting joy to our lives, we must harmonise the past, the present and the future. We must think about the past, be in the present but also visualise our future in a harmonious rhythm. When all three time dimensions are present in our life, we enjoy peace and happiness.”
Awdhesh Singh, 31 Ways to Happiness
