Is there a connection between Universal Dimensions, Artists and Spirituality?
We all are aware of the existence of various dimensions surrounding us, particularly, artists, scientists, psychists, and mathematicians. Dimensions play their essential roles to enrich us and add depth to our perceptions, knowledge, and add meaning to our life. Everything around us, from the homes we live in to the objects we use in daily life, has three dimensions: height, length, and width. This is precisely how we move through space, either right or left, forward or backward, up or down.
That said, there are similar three connotations of dimensions: the inward used for self-own welfare, the breadth of life which is the outward used for the welfare of others and the height of life which is the upwards for or reaching to God.

We are too, familiar with the fourth dimension as of the four-dimensional cube known as tesseract or hypercube and time. It is a way of visualizing the concept of time in a four-dimensional universe as Einstein famously revealed. Some scientists and physicists believe that the fourth dimension may be accessed with advanced technology or by altering our consciousness through meditation or other practices. Could these practices include creating art of any kind? Apparently, yes. The concept of the fourth dimension, whether spatial (3D) or temporal (Sequential), has been a source of inspiration and exploration for artists. Four-dimensional art, or time-based art includes video, projection mapping, performance, and new media art. It is believed that the famous 4D artists are Dalí's Crucifixion (Corpus Hybercubus), Pablo Picasso's 1910 Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Albert Gleizes' 1913, Portrait de l'éditeur Eugène Figuière.
The question now: is 4D possible in real life? The fourth dimension is defined as a hypothetical construct, a conceptualized phenomenon that can’t be directly measured or observed. And since our brains are merely equipped to visual and spatial, we can only move in three dimensions, and the reasoning is based on 3D perception. Thus, our brains can only imagine and predict what the extra-spatial fourth dimension would look like or consists of. The four dimensions that we inhabit can be a metaphor for the creative process. As for the three spatial dimensions, they represent the initial stages of the process. But as for the fourth dimension, time, represents the tangibility of objects within space as we interact with them.
It is believed that Jesus moved between the third and fourth dimensions after his resurrection. While he was seen in the flesh and yet, was able to come through a wall. How about God? It is believed that God infinite dimensions live in him for he is the dimension of the dimensions. Then, how may dimensions do exists? This understanding would lead us to the fact that those who live in the fourth dimensions or more could have unlimited qualities and abilities. Do such abilities, has anything to do with the level of spiritualty? Why, in general, most artists are spiritual? Why their prefrontal cortex is bigger than the majority? Apparently, this search is endlessly, becoming intriguing, and I am much into the subject! How about you?
