No matter what number of higher dimensions exist in the universe but nevertheless we are equipped with the sense of space and time. And its amazing how everything can be brought down to these and studies in parts to realize the whole situation. As the story goes, when Siddhartha meets the guy who takes people across the river in his boat, the biggest secret about time is revealed. Through this river he learnt that flow of time is like the flow of this river. The river is always in flow and yet the same, that there is just one instant and that is right now.
A situation we often face in life is getting along with the ways of other people. For instance, we criticize people for their adherence to a certain belief and conclude that they are fanatics. Then we meet some people with a flexibility in their attitude and declare them as fickle minded. Some types of music are too weird for us and some are too normal and lacking innovation.
It reminded me of the concept of 'Origin' in the co-ordinate geometry. The origin can be selected anywhere on a plane and the axes are drawn from it. Now we say that certain point as at a certain distance from the origin. That is the exact case with our situation. The differences we find in the expression of this world appear to us according to where we put our origin. We set the standards and define the ways of life for ourselves and forget to take into account that the difference is relative. If we shift all the points to our own origin, everything would cease to exist. If the differences were not to be there, there would still be singularity and no explosion at all. The essence which was there, infinitely dense, has split to form differences. It split to form me and you. In the essence we are the same, and in expression we are different. We are here to cherish that differences and to remember we belong together. The whole universe.
On a still larger perspective, this origin and this plane is a part of out planet which is more or less a sphere. After crossing oceans and mountains, jungles and deserts, we will be back home again but this time belonging to the whole. And who knows, to know our whole universe we need to journey through all its dimensions, being home again but this time knowing everything.
