The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism

The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism

We touch physical objects at the same locations in space and time as we see, hear, smell, or taste them. This could be because they are “out there,” in a physical reality external to conscious experience, waiting to be perceived, or it could be that material substance does not exist, and perceptual consciousness is dimensionally structured into sensory realms. Dimensions are sensory potentials – what we actually experience in any realm we potentially experience in all of them. It is much easier to understand the enigmas of relativity theory and quantum mechanics in this manner, with the concept of matter out of the way.

This book was inspired largely by mediation experience, but is written for and from the western scientific point of view.
