are you implying there are people manipulating our reality or are you saying that's just how reality is?
There are a lot of ways to look at it, and I'm not personally going to imply I know the true motives of anyone, even myself to be honest.
That said: If a being weren't ready to handle 3D, but could be *taught* about it via 2D projections and eventually eased into it, then the Plato's Cave situation is a painful but very effective means of learning and increasing the consciousness of someone. I personally think that's what we're doing... in a way we hypnotized ourselves and are sorta taking an "evolutionary" shortcut through "time" due to the way viewing the shadow affects our behavior.
For example: For 1 unit of movement in 2D, we'd actually move say 20, then 30, then 80, then 200, 1000, etc units... it'd create a kind of hyper "growth" and "overworked" nature to ourselves, but would allow us to go much farther than we naturally would. Kind of like a soldier on the battlefield who does a painful procedure in order to be able to overcome something and survive.
Or we very well might be trapped. Can't know till we somehow figure out how to stop watching the shadow.

Talking about dimension I thought it would be interesting stuff.
Here is a cube or hexahedron (3 dimensional solid):
Does not it looking like a cube inside another cube and liked to it?

How can anything change if there's no past or future? It takes time for things to change.

Now whether I'm skipping steps, or cutting myself in the process, my quantum jumping to parallels of the "right now" has been a learning curve. I recall vividly pushing my choices on the here and now, and marveling at how often it worked. This, is a fun observation, Magick or Prayer doesn't actually work the way we thought, essentially we will ourselves into a Schrodinger's cat & Occam's razor, to land in a reality which justifies that it works in the most coincidental way possible. The less ripples we produce in the process, which do not intersect with another equal influence on the same object, the greater the chances of success.
Ever try to beat another in the roll of some dice? It's your will vs theirs in points of observation, and ability to manifest along the spiral of whose reality is stronger. We are all on an Etherical game-board, and most dominant will in the situation usually dictates an outcome between 2 or more. If there is no will to fight against in your choice to influence the now, randomness or Synchronicities ensue in high levels of probability, almost miraculously.
But individual outcomes will vary & grateful I am, God lets me do this. Or even have a "shadow" of a grasp of the subject matter.

I agree with the last comment thought is everything , the stronger the will the stronger the reality. I know that if i want something really really bad with all of my " heart" soul and thought , nothing can stop me only myself.

I enjoy visiting these type of threads looking for other peeps that are experiencing similar things to me.
I don't think this is the case here, as the OP and first few posts seem a bit technically oriented, and right now I am only really focused on personal experience.
I've a little experience in seeing energy forms and patterns directly, especially my wife
It certainly seems to be extra-3D, or at least, it's like a lay-over.
I'm convinced the multidimensional nature of reality is becoming easier to perceive.
It's a bit like I can tune my perception into different realities, like changing the TV channel.
Sometimes, when I'm really buzzing, I lose current 3D for a while and seem to bi-locate to other places, dimensions, worlds, or just simply some other 3D location. It's happened a handful of times only.
I probably sound like a crazy deluded soul, just hoping to find others that are having similar experiences to share with

Excellent thread! Thank you Ergo!
You explain it very well and your thread has helped me grasp some elusive straws I've been trying to snatch. Thank you.
I dreamed about torus shapes the other day- guess my subconcious has been puzzling through stuff-lol.

you spinn faster... your movment of mass towards center changes your rotation rate..
but think of it as a spiral.... a larger object has a larger slower spiral.... the more the mass of that
object moves to center... the faster and tighter the spiral gets... or does the speed change?

Another thing that's been stated in the book The Law of One.
(Summary: Ra states that the planet is currently undergoing a transition from third density to fourth density, and because of the negative orientation of many on this planet, the transition is not going smoothly and the planet expresses this difficulty.)
So many things in this book are congruent with things that end up happening or being true. It's really a gift that more people should read.

Or a different way to reply is: "Yes and I think the Timewave may be a 2D representation of movement in 3D time-space".
In the same way that you can see the 1D data set line of:
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128
... and visualize the 2D "curve" that it could be a small sample set from.edit on 2012/7/11 by ErgoTheConfusion because: (no reason given)

How can anything change if there's no past or future? It takes time for things to change.
Time is the measurement, or perception, of change. However regardless of any memory or record you may have of a past "configuration".... that configuration doesn't exist. At least not in the same way the configuration you are experiencing NOW exists.
The day you first walked doesn't "exist" anymore. All that exists is a collection of data that can be interpreted to be a confident memory of what the day you first walked was like (maybe, I don't know your family, heh). However that is not the actual day.
Similarly... even if you are certain that something is going to happen "tomorrow"... it won't actually HAPPEN until it is NOW. Until then it is still only a projection... a wish... a prediction... a prophecy... a possibility. Lot's of P's... hmmm.
Anyway... that's why the past and future don't actually exist, as they are both only projections from *now* based on information held *now*.
