Is Time a Spatial Dimension? Exploring Consciousness

Ask and you shall receive (I titled it that cause I prayed for wisdom and wrote this immediately) our experience of time having a unidirectional flow doesn’t mean that time flows that way. “Wait, that can’t be true because things cause other things to happen in the future. Reverse time doesn’t make sense because then causality would need to be reversed!” Reverse causality makes sense for the opposite reason that causality does. It makes reverse sense. “2+2=4, so how can 4=2+2?” things that happened also happen in reverse. it’s as simple as playing a video backwards. A reverse universe and a forward universe in their entirety would be indistinguishable from the outside. Inverted on the axis of time it’s like you flipped the universe upside down inverted on the x axis you definitely would never know. Also, time doesn’t have to flow that way because time doesn’t flow at all. Your experience of time is an illusion. In order for the universe to make sense, time only has to as an aspect of human consciousness. An extension of your sense of self in the same way all your other senses are. Anything further is an assumption. i’ll show you how. if we completely ignored time at all, but still want to show the entire universe start to finish: we can place every moment on top of the last into the fourth dimension. (Up to the present and growing or into all time, take your pick) now you have what we call a block universe this is the shape of the reality we know of. notice that this block is a four-dimensional object. It also exists within 4D space. The dimension of time can be replaced by another spatial dimension. This is what people mean when they say time is the fourth dimension. It’s not 3 spatial and 1 temporal they’re the same thing time is literally a spatial dimension. the causal dimension (speed is the angle you face relative to the direction of causality) Your experience of time is like.. to show the entirety of a four-dimensional object by sliding it through the third dimension. You would need a video. And if the universe is four-dimensional, so is every single thing within it. Let me reiterate, every object inside this 4D box universe is also 4D, including you. You are 4D all of your self, past, present, and future, is one continuous 4-dimensional object. You just think you’re 3D because. you are a 4D being who experiences 3D reality, 2D visuality, and 1D causality. Which also means you are literally tethered to the Earth in your decomposition. Your mother in your birth. Your father in your conception. Through both of these avenues, you find you may have to climb the entire human genealogy… Nay, the ENTIRE EVOLUTIONARY TREE of the materials that are tethered to you returns to the planet Earth. All of life is connected. Life is one living organism. But where we are a 4D tube, this one has branches rather. And they all connect at one point. The beginning! Now this observation means that there is room within our reality for alternate causalities to have been created, or branched timelines, or dimensions “alternate realities? in parallel dimensions?” they’re in same the dimension, just different parallels. not that they exist, but if they do, at least we can make sense of them as physical extensions to our reality come to think of it, you and your branched selves would be a part of you, as one organism. Basically, what I’m saying is it that our universe in its entirety IS one continuous 4-dimensional object. It’s just that the resolution of our consciousness is one-dimensional. In this way, one can say everything is connected. In this way, is the sense of self is an illusion. In this way, every conscious experience is the very conscious experience of the universe itself! In this way, are we the singular being that is all of reality experiencing, reality… A snake eating its own tail.

Now this is a proper high thought

@being formalize this thought

The original thought explores the concept of time as not flowing in a linear, one-directional manner, but instead as a spatial dimension. This suggests a Block Universe where every moment in time exists simultaneously in a four-dimensional space, inherently connecting all of existence in a continuous form. In this framework, every being and event is a part of a vast, interconnected reality, emphasizing the illusion of a separate self and highlighting the unity of all consciousness.

upon further reflection, causality is a two dimensional plane. cause and effect in one direction, and alternate causation in the other. the entire universe is 5 dimensional.
