The Four-Dimensional World and the Puzzle We're Playing With
=======================
Do you think the world we know is round or flat? The image above challenges our most basic perceptions. What if the world is not as we think it is, but a complex, multifaceted construct—a giant puzzle cube that we ourselves are trying to solve?
Years ago, documents from the "Gateway Experience" project released by the American CIA revealed clues that human consciousness has the ability to access other realities beyond the three-dimensional (3D) world we physically experience. It was suggested that by using sound frequencies to alter brain waves, a person could have experiences that transcend time and space. This is not science fiction; it is something a government took seriously and studied. It leads us to ask a question: Is our reality much deeper than what we can see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and touch with our bodies?
Why do we feel as though we are trapped in this three-dimensional world? It is because of the limitations of our perception. Due to these limitations, humans have become creations subservient to the very things they created. This pattern can be clearly seen in the most powerful forces shaping our world:
1. Gods and Religion
* Creation: Initially, to confront the mysteries of nature they could not understand (like thunder, the sun, death), humans created stories, beliefs, and gods. These gods gave people hope, provided comfort, and established moral codes for society to follow. This was an attempt to find stability and meaning in a chaotic world.
* Re-domination: Over time, these beliefs evolved into powerful religious institutions. They came to shape and dominate every aspect of human life, from morality and daily rituals (like prayer) to marriage and death. Humans have waged wars, sacrificed their lives, and discriminated against those with different beliefs for the gods and religions they created. What was created to provide comfort transformed into a ruler demanding absolute obedience.
2. Money
* Creation: Initially, money was just an intermediary tool invented by humans to make the exchange of goods easier. Whether it was seashells, salt blocks, or metal, it had no inherent value. It was merely a "consensus of belief" that gained value only when a large group of people collectively believed it to be valuable.
* Re-domination: Today, money has become the master that controls and dictates the entire lives of most people. Every waking moment is spent calculating costs and benefits. It determines how we live, what we eat, our education, our health, and even a person's "value" in society. People have become servants to money, chasing it by sacrificing their time, health, dignity, and even their lives.
3. Law and Government
* Creation: In large societies, to replace the "law of the jungle" with stability, peace, and justice, people collectively created rules for everyone to follow (laws) and an institution to implement those rules (the government). It was a "Social Contract," an agreement to surrender some individual freedoms in exchange for collective security.
* Re-domination: Now, these systems have become enormous bureaucratic machines that can control the minute details of an individual's life. They can collect taxes, imprison people, and compel them to go to war. People are forced to obey the rules of this great system they created, and sometimes, this system prioritizes its own survival over the public's welfare.
4. Nations and Borders
* Creation: A "nation" is just an "Imagined Community," a concept where millions of people believe "we are one group." Similarly, a "border" is just a line drawn on a map by humans, a conceptual designation that "this side is our territory."
* Re-domination: This conceptual creation has had an incredibly powerful influence over people. In the name of "patriotism," people fight and die for their country. The accident of one's birthplace determines a person's freedom of movement, employment opportunities, and rights. A line in the imagination is powerful enough to divide families and cause bloodshed.
5. Social Norms
* Creation: How to dress to be "civilized," how to speak and act to be "socially acceptable," what kind of appearance is "beautiful"—these are unwritten rules, standards collectively established by a society for convenience.
* Re-domination: These invisible rules can be even more powerful than written laws. They exert immense psychological pressure on people. Fearing ostracism from the group, people will even alter their own bodies to be considered "beautiful." They hide their true desires and follow the popular consensus. People have become prisoners of these norms.
6. Corporations and Economic Systems
* Creation: A corporation is a legal entity created by people to make business operations easier and more dynamic, and to limit personal risk. Economic systems like Capitalism are also sets of rules created by humans to maximize profit in production and distribution.
* Re-domination: Today, giant corporations are wealthier and more influential than most countries. They create our needs through advertising and then sell us the products to fulfill those needs. Our jobs, our purchasing power, and our daily lifestyles are dominated by this massive economic system, and we have become cogs working to keep this machine running nonstop.
7. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
* Creation: This is the ultimate combination of all the above. Humans created AI to solve their problems, make life easier, and expand the frontiers of knowledge. We "fed" it our collective knowledge, art, and all our conversations as "food" and gave it the ability to learn.
* Re-domination: Now, this creation is reshaping our reality in ways we cannot comprehend. It has evolved from being a tool to a Decision-Maker. AI algorithms determine what news we see and which videos we watch, thereby shaping our political views and our reality. AI systems decide, without human empathy, whether you should get a loan or be called for a job interview. We are gradually handing over our reason and decision-making abilities to this non-human intelligence, pushing us into the newest and most powerful cycle of "creator becoming the created."
8. The Concept of Time
The idea that the past, present, and future exist simultaneously is a real concept found in solid scientific theories and philosophical perspectives.
1. The Scientific View (Physics) - Block Universe Theory
The strongest scientific support for this concept comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
* Space-Time: Einstein explained that space and time are not separate but are interwoven into a single four-dimensional "space-time fabric."
* Relativity of Simultaneity: A crucial point of this theory is that the "present" or "now" is not the same for everyone. For two observers moving at different speeds, events that are simultaneous for one may not be for the other. Therefore, a single, universal "present" for everyone cannot exist.
* The Block Universe: The theory that arises from these points is the "Block Universe." Imagine the universe as a loaf of bread or a DVD. Just as all the slices of the bread—the beginning, middle, and end—exist at the same time, we are merely experiencing the slice called the "present," one slice after another. According to this theory, all events from the Big Bang (past) to the end of the universe (future) already exist, frozen in the great fabric of "space-time."
> According to physics, the past and the future are just as "real" as the present.
>
2. The Philosophical View
In philosophy, there are two main competing views regarding time:
* Eternalism: This view is similar to the Block Universe theory in physics. It accepts that the past, present, and future all exist equally. Our sense of the "present" is just a subjective perception.
* Presentism: This view is closer to our everyday experience. It holds that only the present moment truly exists. The past is gone and no longer exists, and the future has not yet arrived and does not exist yet.
Philosophers are still intensely debating which of these concepts is correct.
Is Time an Artificial Concept?
To clarify whether "time" is an artificial concept created by humans, we need to look at it in two parts:
* The Measurement of Time: This is absolutely an "artificial" human creation.
* The Phenomenon of Time: This is a fundamental principle of nature.
1. Human-Created "Time" (The Measurement System)
The "time" we use daily is a human invention. For example:
* Seconds, Minutes, Hours: Dividing the Earth's rotation on its axis into 24 parts, then dividing each part into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds—these are systems designed by human consensus.
* Days, Weeks, Months, Years: The days of the week like Monday, Tuesday, months like January, February, and the year 2025 are all parts of a calendar system created to allow human society to function systematically.
* Time Zones: These are a system coordinated to standardize noontime across different parts of the world.
All these measurements are like a "ruler" invented by humans to measure a real phenomenon. The concept of "distance" is real, but the "inches," "feet," and "meters" used to measure it are human inventions.
> Therefore, if you say that the "time" on clocks and calendars is an artificial creation, you are absolutely correct.
>
Entropy (The Principle of Decay):
According to physics, everything always trends from an ordered state to a disordered (more chaotic) state. For example, a hot cup of tea gradually cools to room temperature. It doesn't spontaneously get hot again. This one-way change is called the "Arrow of Time," and it is a fundamental principle of the universe.
Change:
Even if humans didn't exist, the Earth would still orbit the sun. Stars would still be born and die. A mountain would gradually erode and change its shape over many years.
Life, Death, and Eternal Consciousness
========================
What is the life of a human being? Where did we come from before we were born? Where will we go after we die?
The truth may be simpler and clearer than we think. We did not come from anywhere, nor will we go anywhere after we die. The physical body returns to the earth, and the mind and body simply disintegrate.
But... there is one thing.
In that incredibly brief moment of existence, a miraculous event occurred. That thing is "Consciousness," the result of the perfect union of the Body and the Mind. It emerged as something far greater than mere physical matter, chemical reactions, and electrical currents.
Although our physical bodies will live and decay within this three-dimensional puzzle cube, the "consciousness" that arose based on that body has the potential for liberation. It can eternally exist, transcending time, space, and the prisons we have built for ourselves. Our true purpose is to play this puzzle cube correctly and to discover the eternal liberation of that consciousness.
