With all due respect...
Perhaps it's just me, but doesn't this thread come off as a type of narcissism?
The Op right away comes off as though he/she's better than everone else.
If I am wrong please explain to me how this thread doesn't sound narcissistic and even condescending?
I am just not getting this 4th dimension talk. Whenever I hear people talk of it, it's upsetting to see people completely remove themselves from the rest of society and place themselves in like a higher and more 'important' plane of existence.
It's sad, and offending.

What you just said seems like something you can say to anyone at anytime. It removes you from the situation. Of course we can all look at ourselves, but I am not talking of me right now I am talking of you.
I didn't ask for a psychoanalysis.
I think it would be nice if people could be on the same page.
Right now, in this thread, I see extremes. I don't hear people talking like they're a part of humanity.
I feel like you for example are placing yourself on a throne. "Look at me I am so special heading to my acension and I can be so much higher than everyone else."
Also, I didn't automatically do anything. This kind of thing pops up all the time of people thinking they're sounding all nice and great, but when you decode it, it's a type of narcissism hidden behind new age jargon.

Why are you fighting me for the feelings that you give yourself? If you are offended at my post, I'm sorry to hear that. But you are a grown adult (at least I hope so), surely you should know by now that you are responsible for how you feel.
I can not navigate the feel-good road of your mind. I can only navigate my own. So if you feel I have put myself above you, know that you have only put yourself below me. That is a result of your judgment on me. Instant karma.
So how does that karma feel? Feel a little frustrated? Angry? Ahhh..more self-torture. Aren't you tired of it already?

I'll just get to your main question since that might shine some light on what may be happening.
"Here's the question...how can I not think you're putting yourself above me? It takes some nerve to go on about how your a part of some special group of people who are all going to the 4th dimension at the same time as saying "it'll be difficult dealing with all these unenlightened 3rd dimensioners". Can you not see how saying that puts yourself above the rest? "
I hope you will understand my response. I have no problems with you at all. I'm just trying to converse with you, hoping that you might see what I'm trying to say. You are getting caught up in your own judgments.
We all do, when we judge. For instance;
1. I didn't say that I was a part of a special group of people who are all going to the 4th dimension. You did.
2. I didn't say that is would be difficult in dealing with all these unenlightened 3rd "dimensioners". You did.
So you must be talking to yourself. You know what I mean?
You're obviously reading one thing..and hearing another..
You're fighting yourself and involving me in the discussion.

There is another point I'd like to make that may give you a mirror reflection of yourself.
When you said "how can I not think you're putting yourself above me?"
All you are asking me is "how can i control my thinking so that I do not place myself below others?"
The answer, I'm sure you know, is clear

And then there is the logic that we all rely on to make the correct choices, of which many other people do not have the capacity for rational thought.
