You Have a Unique Human Experience
I’ve decided to start a regular column where we look at a spiritual meme and really dive into to see what it says about the spiritual community and our individual spiritual journeys.
Today, our meme comes from one I saw on Pinterest from Amity. It says:
We are all one, but we are not all on the same path. We are not all on the same frequency. We do not all have the same morals. We do not all have the same cosmic roles in society.
Don’t Universalize Spiritual or Life Experiences
One of the problems that I keep seeing in the spiritual community is this idea of universalizing every single thing that we all experience.
It makes a lot of sense why we do this. We believe that the universe is always present in our lives, that we can commune with that divine force, and that we’re all connected.
So it’s really easy to fall into the fallacy that we’re all experiencing the exact same thing, often at the exact same time, and we all have the exact same solutions to our problems.
But that just isn’t true. I think it’s a misunderstanding on the different dimensions in our reality. That misunderstanding can actually make it really difficult to truly have a good spiritual experience.
Our Multiverse World
When I say that we live in different dimensions, I mean the different dimensions that we can access. For example, the dimensions that we’re able to prove with science such as the first, second, third, and fourth dimensions.
Those are the three dimensions of space: the first dimension, the second dimension, and the third dimension. The fourth dimension is time.
However, the spiritual community does posit the idea of other dimensions, specifically more “spiritual” dimensions. I’ll link my possible hypothetical explanation of the other dimensions, but we’re not going to get into that today.
Life in Multiple Dimensions
Instead, we’re going to talk about the fact that it is already a confirmation of science that we’re dealing with a multidimensional life.
So it’s not strange to think that we’re also dealing with different things in each dimension. In this life, you’re dealing with human things in the material world. You’re also dealing with memories, your present circumstances, and possible futures in the dimension of time.
But if the other dimensions that the spiritual community believes exist are real, then you’re also existing in spiritual realms and having spiritual experiences too.
Even though these are all connected, they’re not identical. Because each dimension has its own qualities, this means the experiences you’re having in the material world are going to be different from the experiences people are having in their material worlds.
We’re in different points of space and we’re having different perspectives of time even if all those points of space and different perspectives exist as a unity in a higher dimension.
It stands to reason that even on the spiritual level, depending on how many dimensions there might be, that the experiences are also very diverse. The average multiple dimension hypothesis seems to say 10 to 11 and some theories up to 29. It’s always changing.
It’s not unreasonable to assume that people are having very diverse experiences on every single dimension of their being, except perhaps the absolute top dimension, where everything is unified.
Choose Compassion Over Absolute Unity
This is something you need to remember when you are talking or giving advice to people.
What has worked for you, and maybe it works for other people as well, may not work for the person you’re talking to. So you really need to have compassion for individuality.
You need to trust that another person knows their experience better than you. Of course, you can give them advice, but they have the right to refuse that advice or use their own experiences to inform the next steps they’re going to take.
That also means you need to have compassion for your individual experience. Don’t have the expectation it will look like someone else’s.
The material life we live is amazing and unique. It’s just something that we get to appreciate and really enjoy as being an individual experience.
Many blessings to you.
