Tertium Organum by P.D. OuspenskyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Being trained as a scientist, I had to suspend my skepticism to embrace the author's thesis in this book. The fourth dimension was always "time" to me, but Ouspensky takes another tack. Why should there be on three dimensions in reality? Maybe there are more, maybe infinite dimensions that our sensual (dimension 1) and perceptual system (dimension 2) cannot "see". (Dimension 3 is "concepts".) Nor can our instruments. Why should we believe in more dimensions? How is this useful? You will have to read this very interesting and thought provoking book to find out one take on how to think about higher dimensions and how this can lead "cosmic consciousness", a name I do not like. Sounds too new age-y. My mind did not change but had to adapt to new ideas to finish this one. Now I think about it all the time.
