Life in 3D

 Once you overcome frustration, the world in 3D is not that bad.

Density. The passage of time. Places being so far away. The slowness of travel. These are all characteristics of life in 3D. Light for example, light is so pure that it doesn’t have to sit on an aeroplane for 30 hours in order to get to Thailand. No, light travels fast. It lives in the dimension of the eternal now. How about time?

Time, slow at work, fast when having fun. Supposedly eternal. Time. We crave to grow up and then wish never to be old. Time. It takes TIME to master any craft, any art. And then there is density and matter, a matter that blooms and decays. There is tiredness. Having to feed a body, your body. These, as I said, are all traits of life in 3D. The Third dimension which causes what? What effect can this have on our being, which is so full of wishes and whims which we want immediately satisfied? Full of desires we are. Pleasures and pains. And boom! Here we find ourselves, in the third dimension, the dimension of density, of matter, of the passage of time, of slow travel… what do our desires have to face? Frustration. That’s right. We live in frustration because of our unfulfilled dreams and expectations. Because our mind and being long for an immediacy that is not from this world, or more like, not from this dimension. But don’t get me wrong, its not all bad, this is the only dimension we know in which we can taste food and watch sunsets, so its not that bad.

We just have to get used to the awkwardness. Maybe the elements that our body is composed of, the atoms which are claimed to have belonged to stars, want to live and behave in the same way that they do in space (freedom) and they find themselves trapped in the small confines of 3D life. Maybe our deep mind and self belong to the less denser realms and that’s why we can’t grasp… our own selves? Because we are trapped in 3D. Dense. We see it with our eyes and touch it with our hands.

The third dimension is the dense dimension that gives us matter, and matter, many believe, is us! As in, you are your body! Are you? Are you a being from the 3rd dimension? I thought so, earthling.

Thus, we deal with the frustration of living life as if we had to cross a bridge in order to do pretty much everything. There is a bridge between our ideas and desires and reality. Time and space are that bridge. So we feel, frustrated. Then we try to beat time. We start to ‘work’ towards things (some call it the process of life). We create habits, we create life patterns in order to organise our life in 3D.

We feed our body with healthy things if we wish to be healthy, we cannot simply wish it, willed it, attract it and be it (or can we?). We turn the frustration into our ally. We can learn to enjoy the passage of time and how with it, we receive our wishes and desires like little drops of mother pearl that come to satisfy our previously frustrated being. Things here are dense and slow, but once you grow some patience and learn to accept how linear time works in the 3rd dimension, you will be much much happier.

The End.
