Ever wonder where Monsters really come from? Not Human Monsters, monsters like the Boogie Man we saw as Children. How about other scary looking Monsters we have seen which were there only long enough to frighten us almost into submission and then disappear? Abominable Snow Men or Yeti, and various Creatures of local legends. Ever been curious where they really come from and what happens to them?
A few very highly educated Scientists who study the possibility of fourth and other dimensions offer a few possible clues. Some of those Scientists offer a Velcro Tape explanation for other dimensions. They postulate, and some of their math agrees, that there are many other dimensions other than the one we perceive as the only dimension that is real, and dimensions exist well beyond the fabled Fourth Dimension.
One example I read about is Gravity. Some Scientists believe that Gravity is ‘leaking’ in from another dimension, and if the Velcro dimensions that make our reality pull apart we will no longer have gravity. Without Gravity, we will have a new reality where we may cease to exist as there would be nothing to hold us to the Earth, Earth to the Sun, etc.
In the Velcro explanation of alternate dimensions, Fourth (and other) Dimension Scientists suggest that our reality is possibly made up of an unknown substance or fabric with properties similar to Velcro. Our world and hence our reality is made of one or more intertwined strands of Velcro which are stuck to one another. This velcro Sticking process is what gives us Natural Laws such as laws we study Physics.
Medicine Men and Shamans take this possibility as fact. They know there are other dimensions or worlds, and they are as real as our world. Perhaps these other worlds are more real, because they jump in and out of these other worlds and interact with entities they find there. They implore, cajole, make deals with, and do battle with various entities they are aware of in these other other worlds. I do not think Medicine Men or Shamans delve to far into the how of the process, they are satisfied with going to these other worlds and doing what they believe needs to be done. These doors to other dimensions are guarded and not always available
In the realm of religion, there are four or five major religions and possibly thousands of alternate religions that have little in common with the major religions other than their structure. These minor religions have at their helm, Deities which are one or more Super Beings, or Gods if you will. Having and interest and personalities with the ability to effect life in our world. A common example are the Norse, Greek, Indian, and Roman Gods. Countless other examples are to be found in isolated pockets all over the world.
As the Medicine Man and the Shaman travel to other worlds, so do some people who practice meditation. As people who are practiced meditate, and their thoughts remain unfocused they too have experiences of other realms. Some of their experiences take place in or close to our normal reality. Other experiences are more abstract lending themselves to the bizarre. It is probable, people of olden times would meditate, discovered, and would be able to return to alternate worlds or realities, hence the founding of minor religions.
All the above is wonderful, if not fairly useless knowledge. Each of us is more concerned with out little slice of reality. How does any of the above apply to us? It all applies in a very concrete and real sense when out of nowhere we have an experience that has no logical explanation, or reason to have happened. The previous examples, being threatened by the Boogie Man as children. Seeing apparitions that appear, scare us beyond any level of scared we have been to before, and then once we ‘escape’, are never seen again.
For a brief period from seconds to hours, one or more Velcro strips containing other worlds stuck with ours. Suddenly our world is not our world any longer, and whatever entities we see or experience being so foreign and incomprehensible to us, must be how we appear to them. The fear that courses through our bodies may only be match by the fear that courses through theirs. Like the animals we both are, we react as we always react to sudden fear. We humans and whatever is standing, hovering, or moving in our gaze either uses fight or flight to defend itself from us with.
In my own experiences, other dimensions and worlds are as close as being in deep concentration, my dreams, or acting in a Shamanistic or mystical manner. Not to leave out Witches, they are generally content with the warping of this dimension by various methods which may or may not involve other worlds or dimensions.
Wether Deities of major religions, minor religions, and those things that go bump in the night really exist in other dimensions, and for a few seconds find themselves in our world, may never be proven beyond our individual beliefs. No one, except hard nosed cynics, doubt the reality of Monsters and the possibility of other dimensions. In those few moments of contact, they are as real as we are, and if it us us having the experience, we know they are real.
