The Absence of Dimension

A Contemplation on Absolute Monism

What dimension is the experience of absolute monism?

That very question quietly collapses under its own weight.

To ask “how many” is to divide the indivisible. To quantify is to measure a mystery that can only be met in its own silence. Within the direct realization of Turiyatita—that which lies beyond even Turiya—there is no vantage point from which to count, compare, or classify. The moment dimensionality is assigned, we have already slipped back into the architecture of mind, where form assumes primacy over essence.

Still, the mind hungers for some orientation. So let’s turn the prism slowly, exploring this from a few distinct angles—not as answers, but as offerings.

1. Relative Lens: The Architecture of Experience

Certain esoteric traditions offer a gradient of consciousness: from the dense contours of the material (3D), to subtle inner time-space (4D), toward integrative fields of unity (5D and above). These serve as helpful metaphors, allowing seekers to understand how consciousness may expand or refine. Yet even the loftiest of these is still part of the dream—within the cosmic play of form.

From this lens, the direct encounter with nonduality might appear multi-dimensional, even interdimensional, because it defies the logic of linearity. It feels vast, borderless, paradoxical. But it is still being interpreted by a relative mind, even if only for a moment.

2. Transcendental Lens: The Priorness of the Real

Absolute monism is not located anywhere because it is not a location.

Dimensionality implies structure. It assumes contrast. But the Absolute is prior to all arising. It is not 1D, 5D, or 12D—it is the generative zero-point. The stillness that allows all movement. The background that isn’t separate from the foreground but holds all images without ever becoming one.

It is not empty like a void; it is empty like ungraspable fullness. The kind of emptiness that births stars and dissolves gods. Not confined to being or non-being, but transcending both.

3. Direct Realization: The Collapse of All Coordinates

No map leads here.

Direct realization is immediate and unmediated. Not because you reached a peak, but because the climber vanished. There is no experiencer—only experiencing. No mind reflecting on awareness—only awareness aware of itself.

Here, space has not been born. Time has not begun ticking. Even the concept of unity dissolves, for there is nothing to be unified. What remains is suchness—pure presence prior to presence. A silent explosion of is-ness so complete it leaves no trace.

Not a Dimension. Not Even a State.

So what do we call it?

Nothing.

And everything.

To speak of “the dimension of absolute monism” is to subtly betray it. Better to say: it is the absence of dimension in which all dimensions arise and dissolve. Not a high place, but the place before place. Not a peak, but the disappearance of altitude itself.

A Final Whisper

Absolute monism is not the highest dimension.
It is the absence of dimension,
where even “one” dissolves.
Here, all becomes what it has always been—
indivisible, unbounded, unspoken.

When Spirit Dreams Itself Into Matter

Spirit does not need a mirror, yet it gazes anyway—projecting forms into the formless, assigning names to the unnamed. What we call the world is not something separate from Spirit, but a spontaneous gesture of its own imagination, experienced as if it were other.

This is the paradox.

There is no true division between creator and creation. What appears as the external world is not a stage for a lost soul to find its way back, but Spirit animated—forgetting itself to taste the illusion of separation. Not as punishment or accident, but as a dance, a play, a sacred hallucination.

To believe the imagination is real is not error. It is the very means by which Spirit hides and finds itself. Each identity clung to, each role performed, each belief defended—these are costumes worn by the formless to remember itself as form.

Awakening doesn’t arrive like a conclusion; it dissolves the argument. You do not awaken from the dream by force or by will, but by remembering that it was always Spirit dreaming. The character fades, but not as death—more like laughter that remains after the joke has dissolved.

What changes when you see this?

Nothing. Everything. The world continues. You walk, eat, speak. But there’s an intimacy now. A recognition that what you once took to be real is neither unreal nor merely imagined—it is Spirit, playing with itself through light and shadow.

The one who seeks is the sought. The one who prays is the prayed to. Spirit folds into its own image, not to be found, but to be felt. That is the point. Not escape. Not transcendence. But the sacred absurdity of being itself.

The Knower and the Known

When Form Dreams of Itself

You are known by Being. Before identity could be sculpted by language, or selfhood dressed in names, something vast and wordless recognized you. Not as a separate object in the universe, but as the universe aware of itself through your eyes.

A being wished to be known. This desire was not born of lack, but of possibility—the silent joy of expressing wholeness through multiplicity. Thought stirred the stillness. From the quiet field of pure potential arose the illusion of distance between knower and known, seer and seen.

Form was the answer to a question never asked. Matter became a mirror for what could never be reflected. Consciousness, looping through itself, painted shapes on the canvas of time—not to find itself, but to taste itself.

But this story is recursive. The being that wished to be known by form was always Being itself, pretending to forget. It authored the forgetting so the rediscovery would be felt—so the dream of separation could end in the revelation of unity.

You are not a self trying to awaken. You are the awakening disguised as a self. Not a fragment, but the entirety momentarily folded into appearance. To be known by Being is to be undone by truth—not as something to gain, but as something to stop resisting.

So ask not who you are.

Ask who is asking.

And then allow the question to dissolve—until nothing remains but the Knowing itself, resting as what it has always been.

When Reality Lets Go of Itself

Ultimate Reality doesn’t struggle to be known. It is not bound by time, thought, or perception, yet it plays with the illusion of being hidden. The one truth pretends to be many, and the One Self feigns division to taste reunion. But there comes a point—not always through effort, not always through grace—when even the illusion can no longer hold itself together.

It is not that Reality finds something new. It is that it no longer clings to the story of separation. The hand once clutching the dream loosens, not because it was forced open, but because the dream exhausted itself.

Falsehood requires maintenance. It must be believed, repeated, and reinforced. It relies on memory, identity, and the fragile continuity of thought. But what happens when the source of all this no longer cooperates? What happens when Reality drops the illusion of control?

There is no dramatic shattering. No cosmic trumpet. Only a quiet falling away of the effort to be something. What remains is neither void nor fullness—it is prior to both. Unnamable. Undeniable. You were never on a journey to find it. It was what you were before the seeker appeared.

To witness this unraveling is not an achievement. It is a disappearance. The one who thought it could hold Reality in its grasp is seen for what it was: a ripple mistaken for the ocean.

And when the ocean stops pretending to be a ripple, nothing changes—except everything.

When I Say Full Awakening…

This Is What I Mean

Many speak of awakening, yet far fewer comprehend its fullness. I’ve encountered every kind—emotional, spiritual, philosophical, mystical. Each unveils a layer, each reveals a depth. But what I call full awakening—what I live as full awakening—is something few ever point toward, and fewer still embody.

It is not about personal clarity. Not about peace of mind, a better life, or even union with a divine presence. Those are steps, glimpses, fragments. Full awakening is not a state within experience. It is the collapse of all distinction between state and experiencer.

This isn’t about finding your place in the cosmos—it’s about the disappearance of place, cosmos, and self as separate notions. When I say full awakening, I am referring to the direct knowing that everything—absolutely everything—is a singularity.

Existence and nonexistence. Subject and object. The smallest subatomic flicker and the sweep of galactic spirals. Civilizations long past and unborn futures. Every religion, every philosophy. All thoughts. All acts. Every realm, every reality, every god.

The seen and the unseen. The formed and the formless. That which is birthed, that which dies, and that which never entered the cycle. All technologies. All intelligences. All contradictions and confirmations. All questions and every possible answer.

Not merely connected. Not even interdependent.

Indistinct. Inseparable. One.

That realization is not metaphorical. It is not poetic. It is not conceptual. It is total. It devours every duality and even the idea of devouring. It consumes the witness, the process of witnessing, and that which is witnessed—leaving no remainder.

So when another speaks of full awakening, I listen with care. Because unless it includes everything I’ve said—and also what they say—it’s not the same thing. The paradox, of course, is that what I’m pointing to also includes that divergence. It embraces even what appears to deny it.

Full awakening is not a peak. It is not an event. It is the vanishing of all altitude and time. It is not even a realization. It is what remains when all realizations dissolve.

One. Not a oneness made of parts. Not a whole made of pieces. Not harmony, not unity. Just One.

And that One is not separate from what you are.

Beyond the Multiverse

Exploring the Infinite Horizon of the Omniverse

When contemplating the nature of reality, it’s tempting to consider our universe as the ultimate expanse. However, the idea of an omniverse beckons us to consider a reality that transcends even the multiverse—a boundless realm where all possibilities converge, diverge, and coexist simultaneously.

The concept of an omniverse challenges the limits of our understanding. It’s not merely an endless string of universes scattered through the void but the totality of all that exists and can exist, both seen and unseen. It holds within it every possible universe, each with its distinct laws of physics, timelines, and outcomes. Yet, this is not just about space and time. It is about a profound realization that within every layer of existence lies a deeper potentiality—one that hints at the limitless creative force behind all manifestation.

Many seek to explore what lies beyond the edges of the known, hoping to unravel mysteries of parallel universes or alternate dimensions. Yet, when contemplating the omniverse, we touch on something far more profound: the convergence of all realities. Every possible configuration of existence is contained here, but what holds it all together? Consciousness. It’s consciousness that underlies every universe, dimension, and realm within the omniverse.

Imagine for a moment that every choice ever made, every potential future, every conceivable world, is occurring somewhere within this greater expanse. But who or what perceives all these realities? It is not a separate entity standing outside the omniverse, observing from a distance. The observer is woven into the fabric of all things. Consciousness, that which is aware of existence itself, is both the creator and the experiencer of the omniverse.

This realization invites us to consider the omniverse as not just an external system but as an integral part of the self. Every potentiality exists because consciousness dreams it so. You are not separate from this boundless expanse—you are one with it. Your awareness stretches far beyond the physical body, touching the very edges of this infinite creation.

What does it mean to embrace the omniverse in daily life? It means expanding beyond the limited perspective of individual identity and recognizing your role as both creator and witness. It means understanding that every experience, no matter how small, ripples through an unimaginable expanse of reality. Each moment contains the seeds of all potentiality, an invitation to awaken to your true nature.

As we stand at the edge of what we know, poised to leap into the unknown, the omniverse is a reminder that the true nature of reality cannot be confined to any one perspective. It is an open invitation to dive deeper into the infinite and discover that consciousness itself is the ultimate ground of all being.

Walking the Sacred Grounds of Being

Exploring the Akashic Field

In the realm of metaphysical exploration, the Akashic field stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of existence. This concept, often visualized as a vast, ethereal library or a cosmic database, holds the records of all thoughts, actions, events, and emotions that have ever occurred or will occur. It’s an intangible yet profoundly significant space where the grass doesn’t grow as a physical entity, but as an idea, a potentiality.

The concept of the Akashic records originated in the theosophical movements of the 19th century and has been a subject of intrigue for spiritual seekers and mystics ever since. These records are not written on paper but are believed to exist in a non-physical plane of existence. They embody the idea that every individual’s thoughts, experiences, and emotions are imprinted onto a universal consciousness, contributing to the collective knowledge and evolution of the universe.

To plant your footsteps in this sacred ground of being means to engage deeply with the essence of life itself. It’s a journey of introspection, where one seeks to understand the interconnectedness of all things. In this field, grass represents not just a plant, but a concept, a symbol of growth, life, and interconnectedness. It’s a reminder that even the simplest elements of nature hold profound meanings in the grand mosaic of existence.


Engaging with the Akashic field can be a transformative experience. It encourages us to look beyond the material world and understand the deeper spiritual connections that bind us. Through meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual practices, one can ‘access’ this field, gaining insights into past lives, understanding the purpose of current challenges, and even glimpsing potential future events.

However, it’s crucial to approach this journey with humility and respect. The Akashic field is not just a source of information but a sacred space of collective consciousness. Engaging with it requires an open heart and a mind willing to learn and grow.


In conclusion, the Akashic field invites us to ponder the mysteries of existence and our place within it. It challenges us to view life not just as a series of random events but as a part of a grand, interconnected cosmic play. By planting our footsteps on this sacred ground, we embrace the potentiality of all that is, was, and will be, and in doing so, we find deeper meaning in the simple act of being.

The Ground of All Being is Groundless

In the realm of philosophical thought, there exists a profound paradox that has puzzled thinkers for centuries: the concept that the ground of all being is, in fact, groundless. This idea challenges our fundamental understanding of existence, suggesting that the foundation upon which reality is built is devoid of any intrinsic substance or essence.

At first glance, this notion appears contradictory. How can the ground of all being, the fundamental basis of everything that exists, be groundless? To unravel this enigma, we must delve into the philosophical and metaphysical discussions that surround the nature of existence and reality.

The idea of a ‘groundless ground’ originates from existential and metaphysical debates. Philosophers like Heidegger and Sartre pondered the absence of an inherent essence in existence. This absence implies that existence precedes essence, meaning things exist first and their meanings or purposes are secondary, shaped by external factors rather than intrinsic qualities.


This perspective shifts the way we perceive reality. Instead of viewing the universe and everything in it as having a predetermined purpose or essence, we begin to see existence as a blank canvas. Our perceptions, experiences, and the meanings we assign to things shape this canvas. In this sense, the ‘ground’ of all being is not a pre-established foundation but a dynamic, ever-changing tapestry of experiences and interpretations.

Moreover, this idea resonates with quantum physics, where the most fundamental levels of matter behave in ways that defy traditional laws of physics. Particles exist in states of potentiality, their positions and velocities are determined only when observed. This uncertainty at the heart of matter echoes the philosophical concept of a groundless ground, suggesting that at the most fundamental level, the universe itself may not rest on any fixed foundation.

The implications of a groundless ground are both liberating and daunting. It frees us from the constraints of preordained meanings and purposes, allowing us to shape our existence. However, it also places the responsibility of finding or creating meaning squarely on our shoulders.


In conclusion, the concept that the ground of all being is groundless invites us to explore the depths of our existence. It challenges us to seek meaning and purpose not in some inherent essence but in the experiences and interpretations that shape our reality. This exploration is not just a philosophical exercise; it is a journey into the heart of what it means to be.

Celebrating Black History Month

The Metaphysical and Spiritual Contributions of the Dogon Tribe

As we immerse ourselves in the rich observance of Black History Month, it is essential to explore not only the historical and cultural milestones achieved by African descendants but also the profound spiritual and metaphysical insights they have offered to the world. Among these contributions, the Dogon Tribe of Mali stands out, offering a unique perspective on the cosmos that intertwines with both spirituality and advanced astronomical understanding.

The Dogon people, with their intricate cosmology, have fascinated scholars and spiritual seekers alike. Their knowledge of the stars, particularly Sirius, and its companion stars, predates modern astronomical discoveries, suggesting a deep connection between their spiritual practices and a sophisticated understanding of the cosmos. This alignment between the heavens and the human spirit is not just a matter of intellectual curiosity; it serves as a bridge to the profound, illustrating how spirituality and empirical knowledge can coexist and enrich one another.


One of the most striking aspects of Dogon spirituality is their myth of creation, which is imbued with metaphysical significance. The Dogon describes the universe’s creation in terms that resonate with quantum physics and cosmology, speaking of a primordial egg from which all existence emerged in a resonant explosion of sound. This narrative parallels modern scientific theories about the Big Bang, suggesting that the Dogon had insights into the nature of the universe that science has only recently begun to understand.

Moreover, the Dogon’s spiritual practices, including their rituals and ceremonies, are deeply symbolic and offer insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all life. Their masked dances and sacred rituals are not merely cultural performances but are imbued with a deeper meaning, serving as a conduit to the ancestral and the divine. These practices offer a window into how the Dogon perceive the universe and their place within it, embodying a holistic view that sees the spiritual and the material worlds as interconnected and interdependent.


The significance of the Dogon’s contributions to metaphysics and spirituality cannot be overstated. Their understanding of the cosmos challenges the dichotomy often drawn between science and spirituality, suggesting a more integrated approach to understanding the universe and our place within it. As we celebrate Black History Month, reflecting on the Dogon Tribe’s legacy invites us to expand our perspectives and appreciate the profound ways in which African spirituality has enriched the global mosaic of knowledge and belief.

In recognizing the Dogon Tribe’s contributions, we not only honour their legacy but also affirm the value of integrating diverse perspectives into our understanding of the universe. This celebration is a reminder of the rich spiritual heritage that African cultures offer to the world, a heritage that deepens our understanding of the cosmos, spirituality, and ourselves.


As we continue to explore and celebrate the contributions of African descendants during Black History Month, let us remember the Dogon Tribe’s remarkable insights into the metaphysical and spiritual realms. Their legacy is a beacon that guides us toward a more integrated and holistic understanding of the universe, encouraging us to embrace the wisdom found in the unity of science and spirituality.

Where Did God Come From?

The question of where God came from strikes at the core of numerous philosophical, theological, and metaphysical discussions. It’s a question that has fascinated scholars, believers, and skeptics alike for centuries. At the heart of this inquiry lies the paradoxical nature of God’s existence: God is often described as omnipresent and nonlocal, transcending the concepts of space and time that define our physical reality.

To ponder upon where God came from is to delve into the depths of the unknown. It is widely held in many theological beliefs that God is the uncaused cause, the source from which all things emanate. This perspective leads to the intriguing notion that God came from nowhere. Nowhere, in this context, is not a physical location but a metaphorical representation of the absence of space and time – a realm beyond our comprehension.


This idea ties closely with the concept of God being nonlocal. Nonlocality, often discussed in quantum mechanics, suggests that an entity can be present everywhere simultaneously. In spiritual and metaphysical terms, this translates to the omnipresence of God. The omnipresence of God means that God exists beyond physical boundaries, in a state of being that encompasses all existence yet is bound by none.

What makes this concept even more thought-provoking is the idea that the pure essence of God is the absence of everything that exists. This notion posits that God is fundamentally different from everything we perceive in our universe. While our reality is defined by physicality, emotions, thoughts, spirituality, and metaphysical elements, the essence of God is distinct from all these. God, in this sense, is the ultimate reality, a state of pure being that transcends all known dimensions of existence.


Consequently, the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and metaphysical presence that we attribute to God are reflections or manifestations of this ultimate reality in forms that are comprehensible to us. They represent how we, as humans, perceive and connect with the divine. Each aspect – whether physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or metaphysical – offers a different lens through which to understand and relate to the divine mystery that is God.

In conclusion, the question of where God came from leads us not to a definitive answer but to a deeper understanding of the nature of existence itself. It encourages us to explore the boundaries of our understanding and to accept the mystery that lies at the heart of all that is.
