Here, then, we have a being whose consciousness belongs to the fourth-dimensional plane adjusting Himself to the capacity of those on a three-dimensional plane for the sake of proving to them beyond dispute that "Life is ever lord of death, And love can never love its own."
In respect of the laws of disposition of the shadows L', the point S has no special privileges on the plane any more than on the spherical surface. The representation given above of spherical geometry on the plane is important for us, because it readily allows itself to be transferred to the three-dimensional case.
There are therefore a multitude of three-dimensional spaces in the world: there are all those perceived by observers, and presumably also those which are not perceived, merely because no observer is suitably situated for perceiving them.
But there are other, and even more interesting, evidences of time curvature in consciousness. These lead away into new regions which it is our pleasure now to explore. Our space is called three-dimensional because it takes three numbers measurement in three mutually perpendicular directions to determine and mark out any particular point from the totality of points.
Just as a moving picture shows us the round and living bodies of men and women as flat images on a plane, enacting there some mimic drama, so on the three-dimensional screen of the world men and women engaged in unfolding the drama of personal life may be but the images of souls enacting, on higher planes of being, the drama of their own salvation.
We now perceive that these creatures which from a distance appeared as though flat upon the earth's surface, are in reality erect at right angles to its plane, and that they are endowed with the power to move their members in three dimensions. Indeed, man's ability to traverse the surface of the earth is wholly dependent upon his power of three-dimensional movement.
When at the end of a day he lays aside his clothes that two-dimensional sheath of the three-dimensional body it is in full assurance that his body in turn will be abandoned by the inwardly retreating consciousness, and that he will range wherever he wills during the hours of sleep, clothed in his subtle four-dimensional body, related to the physical body as that is related to the clothes it wears.
Can we picture to ourselves a three-dimensional universe which is finite, yet unbounded? The usual answer to this question is "No," but that is not the right answer. The purpose of the following remarks is to show that the answer should be "Yes."
Modulated as it is, and producing a three-dimensional picture, after rectification in the receiver, it reproduces exactly what has been 'viewed, if due allowance has been made for the size and configuration of the different brains involved in the transfer. You remember a sort of flash a sensation of seeing something when the educator worked on you?
If we draw three lines intersecting at a point, subtending angles of 60 degrees each, it is not difficult to conceive of these lines as being at right angles with one another in three-dimensional space. The fourth axis we will assume to pass vertically through the point of intersection of the three lines, so that we see it only in cross-section, that is, as a point.
