Can we move from lower dimension to higher dimension?

I feel we can.

Dimensions are like many levels in a car park.

Now let’s say, if there is a car park that is very tall, taller than that tall towel in Paris; so if there is a cark park that has two million levels in it, from bottom floor which is level one to level 2 million.

Each level you move up, you see maybe another different dimension.

So from bottom level which may be lower dimension, and as you move up, you are moving to higher dimension, and because the car park is so tall, you become like an ant, and as you move up, you feel that you are an small ant jumping from lower dimension to higher dimension as you change your location in the same car park.

Do you agree?

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes]

When you move up a level in a parking garage, you are not moving to a different dimension, but moving to a different level on a dimension, which in that case is the dimension of height.

One moves on a dimension not between dimensions. Even if something that was a certain amount of dimensions became another amount of dimensions, if such a thing is even possible, it wouldn't be moving from one level on a dimension to another level on that dimension. This dimension-increasing seems to be completely different from movement.

What is dimension?

Dimension is just a level of existence.

Because if I am in level one, I cannot see the cars in level two unless I get to level 2. If I am in level 2, I cannot see the cars in level 3 until I get to level 3.

So dimension is just a new level of existence within the same object. So this is why if I move one level up, I am moving towards a higher dimension.

If the second level has the same dimension as the third level, why is it that I see new cars as I move from level 2 to level 3?

So dimension is the level of existence and each time you look at the same object from a different angle, you see a new dimension.

We use dimension as level of existence. But what is level existence?

Levels of existence are different aspect of an object.

So level one is one aspect. Level two is another aspect. Level 3 is a new aspect.

Each level may all have different aspects, so this is why level 1 is different to level 2, because different aspects.

If level 2 is the same as level 3, then, maybe we need not to use the words 'new dimension."

But because they are different aspects, so we use the words 'new dimension."

And I use the words 'different dimensions' up to infinite dimensions to show so many different aspects of one thing.

If level 2 and level 3 are the same, then, we need not to use the words 'new dimension.'

But because they are not, so the words 'new dimension' may be required if you want to talk about it.

Otherwise, they are all the same.

Just like the normal three dimensions, you know. Why do you need three dimensions rather than just two?

Because two dimensions to you are just a plane surface of a box, but if you want to see the side of the box, then, a new dimension which is height is needed for you to see the side.

So when the height is there, it is a new aspect of the same thing, which you are moving from the bottom surface of the box to the side, and as you move, you are seeing extra dimension as a new aspect of the same thing.

So as this tall car park, as you move up a level, you are seeing a new aspect of the same car park, so this is why you are seeing a new dimension as you move up a level.

If you are not seeing a new dimension as you move up, then, that will be strange because the cars in level two are different to the cars in level three.

And because level two has different aspect to level 3, this is why level two has a different dimension to level 3.

Otherwise, if they are all the same aspects, maybe we need not to use the word 'dimension' anymore.

But it is because a thing may have so many different aspects, so, we use the word 'dimension' to describe a new aspect of the same thing.

And because a thing may have infinite aspects, so, there are infinite numbers of dimensions.

Because a thing can divided up to infinity, where each division is one new aspect.

Like a human hair, as you move closer, you see different aspect, and if you are in a lab using instrument, you see cells, and you see much more.

So they are different aspects of the same thing, and we use the word 'dimension' to describe different aspects, and because there are infinite numbers of aspects of division, so, there are infinite numbers of dimensions.

And later on, I will go on to say that if time exists, why does time have infinite numbers of dimensions.

I will also talk about why time can pass through the wall, if time exists!
