This statement is inconsistant with the concept of Brahman... Brahman is the ultimate reality... therefore it is everything... so he is in you rather then you in him (much as the earth is in the universe rather then the universe being in the earth). |

I like this analogy. We view ourselves as sepearte entities of each other because we live in the third dimension. There are 11 dimensions according to string theory.
Say for example we lived in the second dimension, and all we could comprehend was the a single plane represented by a sheet of paper. Now say somebody put their part of their hand through that piece of paper. All we would be able to comprehend or "see" is four seperate circles where the space is displaced by four fingers. We view each of these fingers seperately, without realizing that they are all part of the same hand.
Now lets talk about the third dimension. We view ourselves and human beings as seperate entities, almost like someone in the second dimension would view the four circular fingers and seperate entites.
In the fourth dimension we still see each other seperately, but without the concept of time. You would see youself almost as a caterpiller, like a long trail starting from the time you were born leading all the way to the time of your death, and accounting for all your steps in between. In the third dimesion we only see snapshots of this "caterpiller"
As we move up and up to higher dimensions, we are able to see the single unity that we all are: Brahman.
I apologize if my explaniation is a little confusing, i am by no means an expert, and its a lot easier for me to explain in person. |

The light with which you see is dwarfed by that which you cannot see even in what you perceive as darkness. |

FYI, time really isn't a dimension. That's a common misconception. It is integrated into all of the spatial dimensions like threads in a fine fabric. |

the bible was written by the same people that thought the earth was flat :toothless
“Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.” Castaneda |

The good path is one in which a soul uses its mind and body in the advancement of reaching its full potential. |

To me that is the same as saying it is a dimension.. I wouldn't suggest it's the same as the spatial dimensions. The problem with reconciling our definition of time with our experience of spatial dimensions is that we only see "cross-sections" of time.
Imagine a two-dimensional being traversing the third dimension, looking at a three dimensional ball.. it could never see the entire thing - as it travelled along the third dimension it would see only two-dimensional cross sections: first a dot that would expand to a circle then contract to a dot and disappear. In the same way we traverse time. If we could see time in it's entirety we would see a person as a snake stretching from themselves as an infant to their eventual death (this ofcourse is merely an analogy, it is impossible to know what seeing the entire timeline would "look" like if looks is even the right word). However we are trapped as the two dimensional being to see only cross sections as we move forward in time - as we look at a childhood friend, for example, first we see them as a young child then as an adult, then as an old man etc. |
