Real/Not Real?
Your thoughts?
(I'm currently reading a book (Extra-Dimensional Universe: Where the paranormal becomes the normal) that has to do with a higher spatial dimension in the world explains all paranormal things like apparition, clairvoyance, telepathy, religion and other strange phenomenon. This book describes the fourth dimension as being the next step in human evolution to recognize this dimension with a sense we have been building up all throughout the ages. Religions have been written for us to advance into that way of life to go into the higher sense of the true reality of our universe because it is not only 3 dimensional but that is what we see so far. A fourth dimension would basically remove time, everything is in the moment of NOW. the past present and future are all laid in front of you. Everything is connected. All the people in the world along with every piece of matter is connected. Similar to a tree having a cross-sectional plane along the top of it making all of its branches small units in a 2d world. in a 2d world those units would look seperate but in a higher dimension they are all connected. Ive used the example below with the tree.)

The Aymara in the Andes consider the past in front and the future behind. The past is known, so it is spoken about as ahead. The future is unknown, so it is spoken about as behind.
Many indigenous cultures have cyclical conceptions of time, rather than linear. Time is connected to place in many of them. And some even consider that humans must actively maintain harmony of cycles. We are participants rather than riders. Chaos comes into play as well, though not in a manner of disorder, but in a manner of change. Because of chaos and human interaction, cycles are not necessarily uniform either. Cycles could be lunar, solar, migratory, seasonal, plant life, animal life, human life, and so on. There are numerous connections between points in corresponding cycles.
