Ran across this interesting article suggesting we live in a two dimensional universe. Â Not specifically tied into the readings but does offer some interesting thought experiment possibilities in relation to time and space.

Thanks for posting this Robert. I thought the comments on the article were interesting also. Right now there are 92 of them. This stuff does fascinate me. I am not a scientist so it’s hard for me to question the science, but I do question my experience.
No doubt I’m missing something, but: “The term illusion refers to a specific form of sensory distortion. Unlike a hallucination, which is a distortion in the absence of a stimulus, an illusion describes a misinterpretation of a true sensation. For example, hearing voices regardless of the environment would be a hallucination, whereas hearing voices in the sound of running water (or other auditory source) would be an illusion.”
So in TSK terms, questioning my experience is inquiring into how I might be distorting my perception. Jack said on the conference call something like… Great time is this wider possibility for temporality… we split it up into local versions of past-present-future focal settings, as we continuously change and evolve narrow moments of interest. The ego or self is an expression of this process as a lower level of time.
It reminds me of SDTS where 16 stands for the fullness of the whole, and whereas I may live in an ongoing, self-creating narrow space, mostly in the lesser numbers below 16, occasionally bursting into presence at the fullness of 16. Where on the dimensional universe do we live? Fascinating questions.

Yes, I can see your point. There are of course an infinite number of ways to to know or experience time. Does that ability to view time from countless perspectives somehow point to something more?

Thanks. I do think it tied to our readings. What is known is a function of how it is known. The appearance of “lower time”
is a consequence of a way of knowing time. A “holometer”may reveal another way of knowing time. I do not think it will reveal an ultimate view of time, merely a reflection of “a way of knowing” time.
Thanks
