Dimensions

We only understand a dimension from a higher dimension. Within a given dimension we cannot understand that dimension. Only from a larger dimension do we understand the smaller dimension. The "point" is understood from the perspective of the "line," and the "line" is understood from the perspective of the "surface," and the "surface" is understood from the perspective of the "solid." The "point" within itself cannot understand the "point." It just can’t get the "point." But the smaller dimension is wholly contained within the larger dimension. The larger dimension grasps it. The notion of "non-duality" is at best a reference to a larger dimension. Or at worst it’s a fuzzy concept. "Non-duality" is a perspective existing within a hierarchy of dimensions, a perspective from a larger dimension. Is a perspective reality? Only from a certain point of view…

From a limited perspective, a subject is "unknowable." The larger dimension is only "unknowable" from the smaller dimension. However, the smaller dimension reflects the larger. The higher dimension is reflected in the lower.

The mind can reflect what is larger than the mind. Modeling consciousness is the reflection in the mind of what is larger than the mind. That reflection can inspire a recognition of ourselves in a dimension outside of the mind. The purpose of modeling consciousness is to inspire a recognition of ourselves that is consciousness itself.

Consciousness exists in a dimension larger than the mind. The dimension of consciousness contains and understands the mind. The mind can only reflect the dimension of consciousness but cannot understand it.
