Dimensions of the Mind...1
(© RKP, 1958)Are not Percepts a function of consciousness in two dimensions,
Concepts a function of consciousness in three dimensions,
Intuitive Cognitions a function of consciousness in four dimensions?* * *
Attachment, being clearly dependent on material objects, percepts and concepts, is evidently a tridimensional phenomenon.
Equally evidently 'Non-Attachment' appertains to the further dimension. It is intuitive and - so it would seem - leads directly to the goal.

Dimensions do not belong to external objects: they are a property of the mind. An external object has as many dimensions as the mind attributes to it.
* * *
Just as a line is the limit of a two-dimensional plane, so is a two-dimensional plane (a surface) the limit of a cube, and a three-dimensional object must necessarily be the limit (all that can be seen) of a four-dimensional object.
As tridimensional beings everything we see is the limit or exterior of the hyper-dimensional 'reality'.* * *
Perhaps it is we, passing a quadridimensional field, who thereby see the fourth dimension in movement as Time, just as an animal, moving on a plane surface such as a road, sees a house which he passes as 'turning', the tree as 'moving forward' into his path as he approaches.
