If you are (getting) into spirituality, sooner or later you will hear about the 4th dimension (as well as the 5th and other dimensions). So did I..

One of the first books I read after spiritual awakening, was The 4th Dimension by Hans Peter Roel, which I strongly recommend reading if you haven’t yet. Through an enticing story (a real page turner!), the book shows how the 4th dimension manifests in our lives, and how you can notice it too.

Since then, I have discovered that there are several ways to experience the 4th dimension in your life, and I will share my experience with you in this article 🤗

The idea of another dimension may sound quite mind boggling, because fact is: the logical understanding of how other dimensions can exist, transcends our brain’s capacity. And this is precisely what makes this so paradoxical and interesting!

So let’s have a look at what the science says about the 4th dimension, what the 4th dimension means in spirituality, and more importantly: how YOU can experience the 4th dimension in your life! 😶‍🌫️

What Is The 4th Dimension In Science?

In science, the different dimensions are a mathematical concept which is often explained in a simplified way by visualizing it as follows:

• The 1st dimenstion is everything that is able to move along 1 axis (a straight line)
• The 2nd dimension is everything that is able to move along 2 axis (a flat square)
• The 3th dimension is everything that is able to move along 3 axis (a cube)
• The 4th dimension is everything that is able to move along 4 axis (a cube in a cube). And this is where it gets tricky, as our brains cannot visualize this idea..

There is a lot of mathematics involved in explaining this properly, which I am not even going to try to rehash here. For a deeper explanation, and to see what the cube in the cube (the 4th dimensional cube) looks like, watch this video:

👉 The most important take away here is that the 4th dimension is a dimension that is beyond the dimension that our brain functions in (the 3rd dimension). Therefore, the paradox is us trying to understand something with our brain, that is inherently not capable of understanding it..

But we won’t give up.. because it doesn’t have to mean that it is impossible..! 😅

Imagine an old Super Mario game in 2D. If you would show 2D Super Mario a 3D version of a cube, he would probably freak out, not be able to comprehend what it is, nor see any of its depth at all.

In a way, that would be similar for us trying to perceive the 4th dimension. We see everything in 3D. This is what our brain is programed to perceive. So that means that seeing any dimension beyond what our mind can process, would logically not be possible..

But then how can we look past this? And what is keeping us trapped in this so-called box; the 3rd dimension that we live in? 🙄🤔

Time And Space

The key to unlocking this box, is the concept of time and space.. 🕰️

In the 3rd dimension there are 3 axis along which everything that our brain can perceive is moving. This is so-called box (the cube) in which our brains are trapped. In this cube, we all move along the axis of space and time:

According to Einstein’s Relativity Theory, the faster we travel in space (the field between the x and y axis), the slower we travel in time (z axis).

The theory suggests that ONLY objects that move with the speed of light (or faster), would NOT move in time.

That would mean that anything moving in space slower than the speed of light, is bound to move in time.. Like us.

Everything that consists of a certain ‘mass’ is constraint by the bounds of time. The lighter an ‘energy’ is, the faster it can move through time.

👉 Well, if that is true, wouldn’t that mean that time is just an illusion? 😱

This is an insanely challenging concept to grasp for our minds. After all, in our 3D lives, we are all bound by time. There seems to be nothing we can do to control IF we move in time, or how fast we move in time..

However, in the 4th dimension that would be possible, as this dimension transcends time and space..

Watch this video to get deeper into this concept, it explains it very well! 👇

The video also explains how moving through time would mean that our shape would change. After all, it is the space that we take up (our physical mass) that slows down our movement in time, according to Einstein’s theory.

The cool thing is, all this actually confirms what I have experienced for myself: that traveling in time and space is possible via our energy (instead of via our physical bodies).

Let me explain.. 👇

What Is The 4th Dimension In Spirituality?

The scientific concepts are very mathematical and abstract, and inherently our brain is not able to fully make sense of them, but the good news is, that we CAN actually perceive other dimensions: through spiritual practice (i.e. perception through our energy).

The great thing about spirituality is the way how it enables us to experience other dimensions for ourselves. This keeps amazing me everytime! 🙌

It’s All Energy: Raising Your Vibration

It’s all energy!

Everything in life, in nature and in the universe is energy. Everything we do or consume, is an exchange of energy. Everything we experience (our thoughts, our feelings, our pain) is energy.

If everything is energy, that means that everything vibrates (see also the natural law of vibration), and that we all vibrate on our own frequency. It also means that all things and objects vibrate on their own frequency.

Spiritual practice is often said to be about ‘raising your vibration’. This literally means to make your energy ‘lighter’, and to vibrate on a higher frequency.

Learning to do this, is the key to accessing a higher realm or dimension.

What it really takes is to switch off your mind, let go of heavy thoughts and feelings (this can also mean healing trauma and resolving energy blockages from the body), and you are more likely to reach this higher realm.

This is where the law of attraction comes in: like attracts like. You can only really connect with energy that vibrates on the same frequency as you.

Negativity attracts negativity, and positivity attracts positivity –> This includes your actions, thoughts and intentions. Thoughts (like everything else) are also energy, therefore your intention is what defines you energetically.

In spirituality, raising your vibration is also referred to as ‘ascending to the 5th dimension’.

In the 5th dimension we experience a pure sense of love and light. No pain exists there, everything just is. The way to enlightenment basically means moving towards the 5th dimension.

👉 This may sound bogus to some, if you haven’t experienced any of this for yourself. But the good news is, everyone is able to deliberately experience (at least glimpses of) this through consistent practice.

Also it is said that during our lives, we have moments of intense happiness where we reach the 5D in that way. (So it is highly likely that you, without realizing it, have been in 5D before!)

The 4th Dimension

The 4th dimension is the dimension that connects the 3D with the 5D, and is therefore a dimension with very high energetic polarity.

As you can see on this drawing, the concept of the 4th dimension being an energetic space that would need to have a huge range of energy in order to connect the 3D to the 5D. It can pull you all the way above the 5th dimension, and even drag you below the 3rd.

This inherently means that there must be a way for us to experience the 4D in our lives somehow, as it crosses paths with our dimension, and connects us to a higher realm.

This is where the book I mentioned earlier comes in: The 4th Dimension by Hans Peter Roel. The story shows us how coincidences that occur in our lives are not merely coincidences.

The book starts with a comparison between the lives of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. The amount of similarities between their, seemingly, unrelated lives are absolutely mind boggling (really, check out the book for yourself!).

The 4th dimension can be referred to as the ‘valley of the shadows’ between our physical world and the spiritual realm. It is the transitional space between the lower polarity realms (1D to 4D) and higher realms (5D and up). Energies that vibrate on a different frequency than us, can communicate with us via the 4th dimension.

Through the change in emotions that we experience in our life, from very heavy to very happy emotions, we move through the 4th dimension constantly, without realizing it (source).

👉 The 4th dimension is our first gateway to transcending time and space and moving past these concepts through our mind.

The more you learn to not be controlled by your emotions, the easier it becomes to move towards 5D and not be pulled downwards in the waves of 4D polarity.

Because life is cyclical, and we are cyclical beings, we cannot escape experiencing ups and downs in life and in our emotions, but we can raise our ‘baseline’ frequency through self development and shadow work!😎✨

How To Experience The 4th Dimension In Your Own Life

Synchronicities

The ultimate way you can experience the manifestation of the 4th dimension in your life, is by looking out for synchronicities.

A synchronicity is a ‘meaningful coincidence that seems to have no cause‘.

According to the Chaos Theory, or the butterfly effect, there are underlying patterns to many seemingly random occurences in life.

👉 Keep your eyes (and your mind) open, and you can begin to notice the synchronicities in your own life.

They can be signs that might not make sense to other people, but have a special meaning in your life. They are seeming coincidences that are so remarkable that you start to wonder if they are really a coincidence.

Synchronicities can occur in any way, shape or form. A common thing that people notice is a certain series of numbers, or objects such as feathers or specific animals. But it can really be anything: a person you run into at a specific moment, a specific object you see at a certain time that is meaningful to you, or a message you receive about something important from a complete stranger..

For more about synchronicities and signs, you can read the book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe by Laura Lynn Jackson, or The 4th Dimension by Hans Peter Roel.

Transcending Time And Space

There is another way to transcend our 3D time and space capsule.

This is my own personal experience of how I came to realize that it is possible to transcend time and space.

👉 The moment that this realization dawned on me, was when I noticed the effects of distance Reiki.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that can be given or received through the hands of a Reiki healer, both through direct connection, as well as over a distance.

What is so great about this, is that it is accessible for everyone to try! If you are able to tune into your body and quiet your mind reasonably well, you are able to feel the effects of distance Reiki.

The Reiki healer can be anywhere in the world for it to work, which means that the energy transcends space! 🤩

With Reiki it is also possible to heal events in the past or send energy to situations you want to manifest in the future, which is how it also transcends time..

The only way to grasp this idea, is through your own experience. Don’t take it from me, but keep an open mind, and experience it for yourself! 🤗

How Many Dimensions Are There?

I found that the book Waking Up In 5D: A Practical Guide To Multidimensional Transformation by Maureen J. St. Germain gave some insight in this topic. In her book, she describes 13 dimensions. The 1st to the 4th dimension are the lower polarity dimensions. The 5th to the 9th are the middle, and the 10th to the 13th are the highest dimensions.

What´s Next?

If you would like to experience other dimensions for yourself, begin by looking out for the synchronicities in your life ✨
