Simple explanations of 3D, 4D, 5D

[Myplanet2]

I'd like to share some articles from a remarkable teacher. Jim Self. I've been listening to a lot of his lectures available in mp3 format from his website, and he has an excellent short ebook available on his site as well. There is also a series of monthly articles available in pdf format.

It's all free. He has stuff to buy too, and does seminars and speaking tours, and weekend workshops as well. But the mp3's, articles, and webinar/teleclass archives are all free for download, or for reading/listening to on the site.

What's unique about Jim, is that he has always spent his sleep time fully conscious and aware. He's always remembered where he went and who he talked to and played with during that deep sleep upload/download period in the middle of the night when we commune with our higher aspects and other higher D beings. Jim found that he'd been spending his sleep periods in the 12th D, chatting with the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and other great beings of love and light. These beings are very active in trying to help us through this challenging time, and their advice can make the difference between staying fixed in the 3rd dimensional constructs of fear, anger, pain, etc, and moving on to the choices offered by 4th D and 5th D reality.

What I want to copy here, is a couple of articles Jim wrote, explaining in very simple terms, what 3D, 4D AND 5D actually are, and how they differ. I found his take on this to give me an excellent perspective from which to discern what my newly awakening perceptions have been telling me.

The first is an article describing the difference between 3D and 4D, in such a way that you can really see when you are having 3D reactions and making 4D choices.

What ARE the 3rd and 4th Dimensions??
Understanding the aspects and rules of 3D and 4D allows us to better choose where we want to live.
By Jim Self
Many of us know or intuitively feel that we are transitioning from the third-dimensional reality, passing through
the fourth and are on our way to the fifth dimension. Dimensions are not places but instead levels of
consciousness, each with its own characteristics and ways of thinking and feeling.
Our Third Dimensional Experience
The third dimension is very dense and operates within a specific set of rules and structures that hold many
vibrations of thought and emotion. One of those vibrations is known as fear. In our spiritual quest to fully explore
All-That-Is we went deeper and deeper into density choosing to incarnate many times upon the Earth. To
maximize our third-dimensional experience we purposely left behind Higher Aspects of ourselves and lost our
sense of connection to the Creator. In this perceived sense of separation we lost our way and, like abandoned
children, we began to experience the energy we call fear. This state of fear created rigidity and made it more
difficult for us to move freely. As we continued to passionately play in this rigid third dimension we began to take
on many uncomfortable attributes such as dis-ease, victim, guilt, lack and resistance. We chose to do all this in
order to know ourselves better, and in spite of what we may think, we have been very successful at playing in
this third-dimensional game.
Many who cling to fear have created a default system which gives them a false sense of security. “If I just go
inside my house and close the door, I’ll be safe”. This reaction has closed down our ability to expand and grow,
re-merge with our Soul, and re-member our Higher Selves. Too many humans have stopped living their passion
as they argue for their limitations within a web of fear.
Third Dimensional Structures
Let’s explore the composition of this third dimensional world we live in. If we look carefully, we can see three
structures of this playing field or ‘game board’. Understanding these will allow our transition through the Grand
Shift of Consciousness to occur more comfortably.
1 - Duality. The purpose of duality has been to help us learn how to walk in balance while experiencing contrast.
Our intention was to have experiences without becoming affected by them. Living within the field of duality was
simply meant to provide us with a broad array of choices and opportunities to ‘Know Ourselves’.
To assist in this adventure, Creator made the Law of Attraction available. Like a compass, this unwavering Law
reliably shows us where we are and what we are experiencing at all times. The Law of Attraction simply says
‘what you place your attention on is what will be given to you’. This also means that ‘what we resist will persist’.
As we resisted our fears, a greater range of duality or polarity came about—good and bad, right and wrong,
should and shouldn’t—and with our attention on the uncomfortable experiences, these fears magnified. We
resisted this discomfort, submerging many of our fears in our unconscious mind where we would not have to
look at them or deal with them (we hoped). But the Law of Attraction doesn’t just bring us the ‘good stuff, it
responds to the loudest feelings and thoughts we broadcast (those holding the greatest emotional charge)
whether they are conscious or unconscious, comfortable or uncomfortable, desired or unwanted.
2 - Reactionary Present-Time. As we learned fear, we also began to project experiences which did not feel good
a moment ago (past) out in front of us (future) thinking “I hope this never happens to me again”, and thus we
began to create Time. Third-dimensional time was not created as a straight line of events with a beginning,
middle and end. It was actually a time-loop consisting of past and future, with a single insertion point known as
the ‘present moment’ where we make new choices based on past experiences and future desires. By reacting to
situations from fear, we began making fear-based choices. Our decisions about the future were based upon the
past. Our 3-D life became a series of reactionary experiences founded in resisting rather than allowing, thereby
dragging the past with us into the future. And because the Universe adores us, the Law of Attraction will never
object to, or challenge, what we place our attention on; it simply delivers what we ask for. Most of us waste a
great deal of our energy ensnared in an endless cycle where our past haunts our future and our future echoes
our past in a continuous 3-D Time loop.
Also built into the structure of 3-D Time is a wonderful mechanism that can keep us out of trouble in this
adventure. A buffer or lag-time gives us the chance to reconsider the consequences of our actions, reactions,
thoughts and emotions before we react and create something we might have to clean up or apologize for
afterwards. This built-in structure allows us a moment of Choice. During the Shift this buffer is getting shorter
and things are manifesting faster than ever.
3 - The Rational Mind. Our analytical, reasoning thought process is known as the rational mind. When we came
to play in this adventure we disconnected 90% of our available awareness in order to have this experience. The
development of the rational mind served us well in this environment. Its purpose is to keep us safe and fit in.
But due to fear and misuse, the rational mind operates more in limitation than in possibility and opportunity.
Because we have given assignments to the mind that it was not designed for, our awareness and spiritual
ranges of choice have greatly diminished. While the logical mind is a wonderful tool for measuring, comparing
and storing information, it only knows what it knows and does not know what it does not know. For thousands of
years the rational mind has kept humanity tightly focused in the three-dimensional realm. This is now changing.
These three energetic structures are intricately woven into the fabric of the third-dimensional matrix. If you focus
on only one of these the other two intensify, creating more distraction and more pressure until you reset your
focus and allow them to come back into balance. By becoming aware of the underlying templates from which
the third dimension is born, we can begin to reconstruct and re-member a significant part of ourselves, freeing
us to move beyond the limits of the third dimension and begin to experience the possibilities of the fourth and
fifth.
Fourth Dimensional Structures
Now let's explore the elements of the fourth dimension.
1 - Eternal Present-Time. Where 3-D time is a charged, Reactionary Present-Time, 4-D time is the Eternal
Present-Time. NOW. In 4-D the past is simply history without emotional charge and the future is an opportunity
waiting to be fashioned in this now moment through choice. Yesterday has no bearing on tomorrow. The eternal
present is all there is. We can plan for a future event using information gathered from the past, but decisions are
conscious choices that are made in the present moment. What we think is what we will experience in the
moment. There is no lag-time in 4-D. What you think about will manifest so be mindful of what you think!
2 - Choice. In the fourth dimension, ‘choice’ replaces ‘reaction’. Reaction is an emotional 3-D response, whereas
choice provides flexibility. Flexibility creates expanded opportunity and a greater ability to combine possibilities
to produce a variety of outcomes. In the fourth dimension you take back your power to choose.
3 - Paradox. In 4-D the past and future become points of reference or information and have no emotional
attachments. What was true a moment ago is not necessarily true in this present moment and what was false
may not necessarily be false any longer. This opens up more possibilities to experience, releases judgments,
and increases our ability to allow.
4 - Alignment/Balance. In the fourth dimension we are constantly moving towards balance and re-alignment.
This structure is very open, entertaining and allowing of all possibilities. Well-being, Beauty, the Inner Smile,
Appreciation, and Love are options in 4-D. Whereas Fear is a choice which will place us back in 3-D reaction
and limitation.
Our spiritual journey includes the movement toward a higher, lighter way of life. This is a life of community,
cooperation and co-creation in 4-D while we walk in the density of 3-D. 5-D opportunities are not far behind. This
is remembering how to be in the world but not of the world. This is remembering who you came here to be.

The second article is about life in 5D. It describes where we are headed on our journey.

The Way of Life in the Fifth Dimension
By Jim Self
The previous article compared the third and fourth dimensions. In this article we bring in the fifth dimension.
Let’s briefly review the structures of the third and fourth dimensions.
The third dimension operates with a specific set of rules and has certain characteristics, aspects, boundaries,
edges, mutations and structures. We see three main structures sustaining this dimension.
Rigid Structures of the Third Dimension
1. Duality – A dual mode of perception: right-wrong, positive-negative, good-bad, should-shouldn’t, updown,
black-white.
2. Linear Time – The perception that time only moves in a straight line (one direction) and is experienced
as past, present and future.
3. Rational Mind – The GPS of the third dimension. The analytical, reasoning thought processor
designed to make comparisons, draw conclusions, store information, calculate, and make
determinations.
Flexible Structures of the Fourth Dimension
1. Now Time – This is your point of power. Each now moment is a threshold to new beginnings and fresh
choices.
2. Choice – The power to consciously choose to initiate something else in any moment.
3. Paradox – Contradictory truths. Something that was true a moment ago but may not be true in the
next now moment.
4. Alignment / Balance – A state of equilibrium which neutralizes opposing forces.
In the Fifth Dimension, 3-D ‘Reaction’ and 4-D ‘Response’ Give Way to Integration
Reintegration – When you attain fifth-dimensional consciousness you experience the reintegration with your
Higher Self. This reconnection with the higher parts of you brings higher awareness and allows you to know
yourself at the Soul level. You begin to Be who you came here to be. Your innate spiritual abilities increase and
reveal themselves. These include clairvoyance, telepathy and abstract intuition.
Access the Wisdom You Know – Life in the fifth-dimension is stunning because you are fully conscious
again. You are aware of and can access the wisdom and information available within your Being that resides in
all the dimensions. There is no separation. You are one with the All and All is you.
Experience Higher, Lighter Energy – In 5D, you vibrate in feelings like reverence, beauty and kindness. The
coat you choose to wear each day bears no resemblance to what you typically walk around wearing in 3D.
And much of what you experience is no longer expressed from the mind or in words (intellect/brain) but pours
forth from the heart and the feelings (the senses recombine forming a sixth sense). You achieve a quiet
knowingness.
Higher Mind – In this level of living, when the mental and emotional bodies merge, the union activates the
Higher Mind and you operate from the mind of your Soul. You begin to know what the Soul knows and make
Soul-guided choices.
Simultaneous Time – Living in 5D, you move into Simultaneous Time which allows you to see the broader
perspective of All That Is. All the answers to your questions lie exactly where the question is asked and you are
able to view all possibilities before taking action.
So, why did we choose to leave this wonderful place where all is known and go to the third dimension,
anyway? When Creator wanted to know Himself/Herself better He/She asked for volunteers, and guess who
ran to the front of the line saying “Pick me, pick me!” You did! Creator sent the brightest and the best (you) on
this special quest to explore the outermost regions of existence. It was, and is, a grand adventure that only the
biggest and most enthusiastic spirits signed up for.
Why did we choose the third dimension and not another? Duality does not exist in the higher dimensions and
duality is an important part of what we wanted to experience. Our explorations took us many places but as we
went deeper into density we eventually found ourselves playing in the slower vibrations of the world of form
(matter). Here we could delve into cause and effect and discover the results of our choices and actions. Here
we had free will to explore the most divergent ranges of frequencies (including fear, hate, anger, betrayal, etc).
When we signed up for this adventure we did not know that we would become immersed in it or that we would
forget who we are, where we came from, why we came, and how to get back Home. We now have an
opportunity to remember who we are and return Home.
The Long-awaited “Shift of the Ages” is Upon Us
We have taken the third-dimensional adventure as far as we can. We have been wildly successful at what we
set out to accomplish and explore in this diverse, dense, duality. A huge vibrational up-shift (on every level) is
what the Earth and her inhabitants are undergoing right now. You are a very important part of this Shift. You
are big, not small. You are significant, not insignificant. You make a difference and your contribution is valued
by all of humanity and by All That Is. Welcome the change to a new way of life, dear friends, for together we
have begun the process of bringing Heaven to the Earth.

If these articles caught your interest, I would also highly recommend downloading his free ebook, called:
"The Shift: What it is -
Why it's happening -
How it is affecting you and
the Mastering of Alchemy"

http://www.masteringalchemy.com/ is where Jim's materials are available from. the menu along the left links to the various archives and registration for the free webinars (which are fantastic. you can sign up now, and read the previous ones in the series from archives and then catch the new ones ever week or two. In the next one, on Sept 17, Jim will talk about what happened on 09-09-09 at the great crystal awakening.

I've paid not one cent for any of the information from Jim up until now, but wouldn't trade what I've learned for a billion bucks. I'm going to try to support him by attending the paid workshop later this month in Toronto.

Thanks myplanet2

I resonated with so much of what he says not only being my own experience but what I have been 'receiving' in my sessions with students. I am so grateful this has confirmed what I have been feeling. Thanks so much for posting this!


This line from his ebook made my entire day!


Our biorhythms, heartbeats, and pulses
of the meridian system are all beginning to align into a singular rhythm, aligning with the heart-beat of the Earth.

What an awesome sharing!

I didn't know this gentleman, I'm so glad I have heard him. It's funny, because I too experience very often conscious dream state, since my childhood. This is also where I have found many treasures of knowledge. But this man goes further with a clear explanation, very very interesting infos on which I share experiences.

Thank you MyPlanet2 for bringing this on Avalon. Have a very nice day my friend and may your life be a shining star that illuminates all souls on your journey.

Namaste, Steven

[Myplanet2]

Jim's webinar this thurs the 17th is called "the Journey home is through the heart".

It's free and can be joined from his website. The series up until now has been remarkable. You register for it and a joining link is sent to your email. When the time of the webinar comes up, you simply hit the link and connect. Last one, there were over 1500 people listening in. And you can ask questions in either audio or text for the last 45 minutes or so.

He does two of them a couple of hours apart.

If it's at an inconvenient time, or you would rather listen in bits, he puts each webinar up on his site a few days after the fact as an mp3. All the previous ones are there, either in small chunks, or as the whole thing in one file.

I've listened to all of them several times by now, and they just get better with each listen.

I would just like to confirm My own findings via my dowsing, match the field charecteristics contained in these videos.
I find a counter clockwise circulation at the top and a clockwise circulation at the base of all people.
the width varies.
I found all of this before ever seeing these videos or any such videos.

The white light emitts from the earth, especially at points where clockwise circulations are centred upon, and it is a stunning white hard to describe, but very feminine and loving.
This man rings true.

I loved it. Thanks, Luminari. That was 25 minutes NOT wasted.

[Vidya Moksha]

I would also like to add my thanks for this thread. I cant relate to 'ascended masters' (yet?)..but this work resonates so deeply, i am getting all my usual 'tell-tale' signs and sensations that this is important work and true to my own path. It also ties in a lot of energy work I have been introduced to previously. His rose in the aura technique is also used by Karla McClaren, a rose being symbolic on many levels (pretty with thorns!)

thanks again....

[Luminari]

Alot of my old posts with video links seem to have gone funny (anyone know what [/ame] means?) anyway I will re-edit the hyperlinks one by one as a come across them, sorry to anyone inconvenienced by this, fixed the ones on this page. Best wishes,
L
