The Fourth Dimension, 2

This is an elaboration of the metaphysics presented in the opening sections of Self and Unself, and summarised in my audio piece ‘The System and The Self’ (which appears at the beginning of Ad Radicem).

Part 1, The Paradoxes of Consciousness presents an outline of the literal, subjective-objective self, and of that which cannot be literally spoken of; transdimensional, ‘panjective’ unself.

Part 2, Standing up in Flatland looks at how the metaphor of the fourth dimension does away with all the fundamental ‘literalist’ conflicts and mysteries of the ‘three dimensional’ self.

Part 3, The Hard Problem of Everything explains the fear, craving, violence, boredom, confusion, insularity, idolatry and madness that follow, of necessity, from taking reality literally.

Part 4, The Soft Solution to Everything shows how to arrive at absolute certainty as to the nature of ‘four-dimensional’ consciousness, and why this entails immense pain.
