Our minds are all about recognizing patterns, sorting things out, finding sense within the noise. There are days when I feel plugged into a hidden world of synchronicity and surprise messages from the universe, and there are days when I feel like my poor ol' brain is not quite all there.
One of the things people like best about my way of imagining the ten dimensions is that it shows an intuitive and self-consistent visual picture of how reality could be constructed. As Tom Huston mentioned in the WIE article about my project, I have been constantly surprised at the number of people who tell me that what I have portrayed can easily be made to fit with their own belief system and their own experience: from physics teachers to long distance faith healers, from excited kids to deep-thinking philosophers, from people of various spiritual backgrounds, to people who have taken various hallucinogens who tell me their visions are easily explained by my way of imagining reality.
Will my intuition one day be confirmed by science? That would be the most wonderful bit of synchronicity ever. I'm a composer, not a physicist! While I am an avid reader of a wide-reaching number of books and magazines, what drove me to create my tenth dimension site and its accompanying book was the feeling that I had stumbled upon something unique twenty years ago: the idea seemed so self-evident to me that I knew it was just a matter of time before other people would be talking about the same ideas. Three years ago, when I was forced to face the possibility of my own mortality (I almost bled to death on the operating table during a routine surgery gone wrong), I found the spare time and the resources to begin putting my ideas to paper; and, beginning last summer, to send them out to the world through the web. Twenty years ago I was a person out in the middle of the Canadian prairies, with no hope of being heard. Now, with virtually no advertising other than word of mouth, the beautiful social networking world of the internet has drawn over one and a half million visitors to my website. Web 2.0 is waking up to this new way of imagining reality, and I am no longer just some dude in the middle of nowhere with a crazy idea.
Once you have my way of imagining the dimensions in mind, you can see a way to combine free will and determinism, and how multiverses could exist "just around the corner". But this is not just about our universe of matter and energy, it is also about the "quantum observer": I propose that the universe of memes and spirit are interacting with the physical universe across these same ten dimensions to create forms of order, life, and the desire for continuance. Being interested in "what happens next", I propose, is one of the basic dividing lines between inanimate molecules and the first building blocks of life, but it can also seem self-evident that our unlikely universe has been interested in its own continuance since the very beginning.
Every minute of every day, we avoid doing the things that will stop us from continuing along our line of time, and I wonder how many accidental death victims would tell you from the afterlife "I just didn't see it coming", or "it was too late for me to get out of the way": if you can see your own impending death, there might be a way for you to stop it from happening.
A few weeks ago I read an article about research conducted by scientists (including nobel laureate Brian Josephson) into our ability to see into the immediate future. If our future already exists as possible branches in the fifth dimension, then isn't that what we are sensing every moment we refuse to step off the curb in front of the vehicle speeding by? If I didn't have a sense of what is happening next, how could I carry on a conversation, or finish typing this paragraph? Even a goldfish can see far enough into the future to get out of the way of danger.
Likewise, I was reading this month's Wired magazine this morning, which has a great article about the research being done into athletes who seem to be able to predict the future and sense outcomes long before their teammates: could Wayne Gretzky's legendary ability to be able to make plays be borne in part from an enhanced ability to see the future?
Then tonight I saw the new blog entry here at zaadz by CP, "No One Likes You in the Future", and I felt once again that the world is connected together in ways behind the scenes that we can only begin to imagine.
My song Everything Fits Together is about the same idea.
Enjoy the journey,

Great post Rob. Incredibly fasincating point about the desire for continuance as a building block of life, being called by the future we might say! Much to talk about here, truly appreciate your perpsective on all this. Yes, “connected in ways we can only imagine” about sums it up!
Indeed….as filmmaker Robert Bresson said: “Make visible what no one else can make visible.”
You are a composer, Rob, that means artist. This is such an incredible advantage!I have read Strawinskys theoroy of composingm, Picassos fragments to understanding of creation and the double talents of many theoretical physicists like Werner Heisenberg, Bohr, Schrödinger et al. Then the deep reflections of Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker who recently died and even his talks with Gopi Krishna about Kundalini, biological basis of spirituality and genius. Gene Kieffer from Kundalini Research Foundation new York recently contacted me and confirmed that lots of research material for the future is incubated right now. A radical new understanding of time, space and knowledge would be integral part of it.
Hundreds and thousands of examples could be added.
To make the many dimensions visible..nurturing imagination for the future as it emerges..in statu nascendi…in the tiny cells of cross-fertilization…is trailblazing creative obstetrics.
Its a process of composition too. The nature of transformation of large scale structures,systems and changes of course is the biggest phenomenon. The goldfish can swim to the surface of the water…even sense the lightlight on the water..but he can not fly out of the water…and he never can BECOME the sun……
Your work is great….
Will explore it further…

Thank you Albert and CP. I've been working my way back through your blogs, and your diversity of interests and your informed opinions make your kind words here quite humbling.
What connects us all together and makes us all one? What are the basic truths that we can all agree upon? That's what I'm interested in knowing more about, because that information must be intimately connected to the ultimate nature of time, space and spirit… that biggest-picture-of-all image of reality, and our place within it as creators and observers.
Gratefully,
Rob
Our minds are all about recognizing patterns, sorting things out, finding sense within the noise - & I would say formulating stories for the purposes of recollecting and sharing those experiences with others.
Your way of imagining the ten dimensions - as an intuitive and self-consistent visual picture of how reality could be constructed - absolutely provides a new style of doing science.
NO wonder - that you have been constantly surprised at the number of people who have told you - that their visions are easily explained, by way of your “imagining reality”. As to whether your intuition will one day be confirmed by science? I can think of no better place for the seeds of that event to be sown than here @zaadz.
