"Our time is really motion in extradimensional space."

I read the original edition of this book published by Bootlocker some years ago (copies of which sell for a remarkable price these days.) Upon reading this new edition I continue to be impressed. Do not mistake this for some trivial, fuzzy-minded, New Age vanity publication. I cannot think of another book that correlates and synthesizes so many important ideas into a single model. "Our time is really motion in extradimensional space." This is a deceptively simple sentence, yet it speaks worlds. I have been reading everything available on the concept of a physical 4th dimension (as opposed to a mathematical abstraction) for two decades now. This book is not only the best summary- but it is the first in ages to break new ground. The basic premise here is that we (and literally everything else) are 4th dimensional entities intersecting with a 3 dimensional world. A profound correlary to this is: just because we no longer intersect does not mean that we no longer exist. The author addresses the subject on all levels- subatomic physics, cosmology, consciousness, and "unexplainable" phenomenon. His tie-in with the "perennial philosophy" is especially elegant. Of course, if you prefer hard science, then the revelation that Cerenkov radiation represents an "optic boom" analogous to a sonic boom is worth the price of the book- at least to me it was. Not only is a tight case made for the existance of a 4th dimension made, but a reason and a purpose is stated for why we are just now becoming aware of it in significant numbers- survival pressure and evolutionary response. It is pointed out that on almost every level ours is a threatened civilization, indeed a threatened planet. 4th dimensional perception results in an expanded consciousness that transcends petty materialism and leads to a spirit of unity and interconnectedness (since everything IS really connected to a greater whole.) More importantly, it represents somewhere to exist if we do manage to render this planet uninhabitable. This is the most significant book that I have reviewed in years- perhaps ever. I've read just about everything of significance in the bibliography. Perhaps that is just it, what you get out of this book is a measure of what you bring to it- yet I still believe that it can stand alone as an introduction for the intelligent, open-minded reader.

Great information!

Knowing this information strenthens one's belief in the immortality of man. I've read a thousand books - this has practically topped off my education - a great buy for the money.

A solid work, worth the read.

John R. Violette elegantly portrays a vision of reality with simple yet powerful analogies. Using 2-dimensional "plane-beings" as examples, he explains how various paranormal phenonemon can occur, and how we can perceive ourselves existing in in a slice of higher-dimensional space. While encompassing a wide spectrum of concepts and issues, a sense of coherence is held throughout the book, carrying the reader on a convincing journey into the heart of the "extra-dimensional theory". The book is tied off in a satisfying, uplifting manner, providing a conceptual framework of the universe which incorporates many existing theories and beliefs. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in furthering their understanding of the world they exist in.

Great Insite

This booked opened my eyes and mind to the questions that have been nagging at me for a long time. It ties a lot of different aspects of the paranormal and religious techings together with theories that have been bouncing around in quantum physics (holographic universe & String Theory) and helps the reader comprehend what may be going on right before their eyes. I would highly recommend this book
