Hi,
I don't see Time as a dimension, to me it is only a concept that has no existence outside of Expected Observation.
And other "subtle" dimensions pre-exist our ability while human to perceive them. To me, what is poorly called the astral layers/levels of awareness are only the support stages for experience in this human realm.

You seem to be differentiating between time and other dimensions because you feel time does not exist outside of our perception.
You say "pre-exist" because you feel that first three dimensions are more "real" and exist without observation.
However, all dimensions are products of observation.
The distinction is just an illusion.

No. I don't feel the lower dimensions are more real... not sure how you can make that statement without ever knowing me.

You said time is
"only a concept that has no existence outside of Expected Observation"

But what exactly is the significance of differentiating time as not a dimension.

The reason I gave that analogy is because we currently define time by an arbitrary amount of oscillations of a cesium atom.

But aren't the spatial dimensions defined in the same way?
Arbitrary units of measurement.
If change per change is not a direct observation of time couldn't you say that space itself is never directly measured as well?

So we aren't moving through time?
