I could never figure that out either. All I have read of the higher dimensional/new age stuff refers to "higher vibrational energy." It sure
sounds to me like EM radiation, but has to be a methaphor I would think. Of course, I wonder how much real science weighs into it at all.
The best I can say about it, based upon some neat little transcendental personal experiences, is that science in some form or another will weigh into
it eventually. However, yes the language is largely metaphorical, allegorical even, and then later profaned into something literal by partly those who
experienced flashes of insight beyond current human progress with its insufficient foundations for tying it into a truely coherent framework, and for
those too hungry for answers rather than understanding.
One does not really grasp these metaphors properly until the experience has been experienced. The lofty, detached and surreal-sounding language then
suddenly makes sense. You and others who've shared the experience with enough commonality readily know what is meant and can speak to each other
while finding it nearly impossible to relate it properly to those who haven't. I didn't quite believe it at first. I thought, well, yeah, "you get
it by reasoning it out." or something to that effect. I quickly found I was misguided in any such notions.
I mean, it's no big deal. One must have the interest in going there. Don't take yourself too seriously because of it either.
