Get ready to be captivated and intrigued as we delve into my life of spirits and all things paranormal. Join me, your host, Jay Lane, on The Laneway to Spirit as I share my stories and personal experiences in the hopes of inspiring others to explore their own spirituality. Grab your favorite mug and settle in and let's get started. I thought it would be so interesting to talk about dimensions and also how it fits into death, in the afterlife, because so many people ask me on a daily where we come from and what happens to us after we die and where do we go? You know, before we're even born. I believe that we come from the other side, what we call the afterlife or the fifth dimension. But before we get into that, let's talk about what dimensions are. To me, dimensions are just a different way of seeing the world. Visually. We live in the third dimension, which is what gives us that 3D perspective. Think about a Zoom call. When you're on a video chat, you're only seeing each other in two dimensions, like flat little pancakes. You lose the sense of depth and of volume. It's like watching TV Everything's flat without being able to see the layers behind it. Now the fifth dimension that's supposed to be the realm beyond our normal 3D existence, the place we come from before we're born. It's this whole other plane of being that we can't fully comprehend from our limited perspective here. But I believe that's where we originate from. That's the other side. We come from there before we enter this physical world. Have you ever thought about that? Does that make sense to you? Now? The more dimensions there are, the more we can see, the more we're able to perceive.

Jay Lane: 2:08

As I've mentioned, we originate from the fifth dimension. Before incarnating here, we make agreements with one another to undergo certain life experiences on this earthly plane. Then we're born. Do you recall the experience of being born plane? Then we're born. Do you recall the experience of being born? If so, it was likely quite traumatic. Birth is one of the most challenging days of our lives. It's where we first learn fears. We're born as conscious beings, but not yet fully self-aware. From day one we develop fears, like the fear of noise and the fear of falling, which we carry with us throughout our lifetimes. As we grow and as we learn, we gradually become more consciously aware through our earthly experiences. Most of us start to remember our lives between the ages of two and three, but some don't recall much until their teens. I think that's because we all have different experiences and varying desires to remember whether our pasts were traumatic or not.

Jay Lane: 3:15

As I mentioned, we perceive the world in three dimensions, just like when you go to the IMAX and you have to wear those funky little 3D glasses to see Godzilla popping out of the screen, making you feel more realistic. We also exist in three distinct modes of being as human beings Our conscious, subconscious and unconscious states. Our conscious state is our physical body. We can see, hear, smell and sense the world around us, and these senses help keep us safe. We can also perceive things in our peripheral vision. In this conscious mode, bodily functions like breathing and our heartbeat, without having to consciously control them, because trying to manually command all of these processes would be like a full-time job.

Jay Lane: 4:12

Our subconscious is a complex and multifaceted realm. It's where our emotions happiness, sadness, anger and everything in between reside and manifest. In many ways, it's the core of who we are, our very essence. This subconscious dimension is also connected to a fourth realm, the fourth dimension, a dream world where the impossible becomes possible. When we close our eyes and visualize something like, for instance, a pink cake with purple polka dots. We don't see ourselves. We simply experience the image in our mind's eye.

Jay Lane: 4:53

The ability to conjure vivid mental imagery is a testament to the power and interconnectedness of our conscious and subconscious states. Our subconscious is not just a repository of feelings, but a creative wellspring, an unseen dimension that shapes our reality in profound ways. So let's take a moment to dream, to tap into that limitless potential that resides within each of us, potential that resides within each of us beyond the confines of the physical world. When I ask a hundred people to visualize this pink cake with purple polka dots, I'll likely get a hundred different drawings. Some might picture round cakes, others rectangular ones, some may envision a single layer cake, while others imagine towering double and triple deckers. The polka dots could be small, they could be large or they might not even be there at all, and the reason for this variety is that we all have our own unique ways of imagining and visualizing things. Our mental images are shaped by our individual preferences, fears and experiences. When you picture this cake in your mind, you're not actually seeing yourself. You're simply observing the visual that your subconscious has created in that moment.

Jay Lane: 6:21

Our inner dream worlds are highly personalized and connected to our own unique perspectives. As I've mentioned, dream world is where we can imagine the impossible. If I asked you to jump over the CN Tower with me, you'd think I was crazy. After all, it's physically impossible to leap over the CN Tower. But if I asked you to close your eyes and picture yourself soaring over the tower, you could probably do it under a minute.

Jay Lane: 6:50

In our daydreams, we can imagine anything. We're in dream world all day long, from the moment we wake up, mentally planning what we're going to wear, our meals, our conversations. It's all about envisioning the day ahead. Sure, dream world is make-believe, but it's where our minds are free to roam. We may not be able to defy the laws of physics, but in our thoughts, the sky's the limit.

Jay Lane: 7:21

I'm sure you've had the experience before. You know, when you're just going about your day and suddenly you think of someone, and then, a couple days later, they reach out to you. It's almost like we're connected in some way, right? Well, there might actually be an explanation for that. As I've mentioned, we're all in this dream world, every single one of us, every single day, which is considered the fourth dimension, and it's sandwiched in between the physical, which is the third dimension of earth, and the fifth dimension of the afterlife. It's like this space where our thoughts and energies can intermingle, even if we're not consciously aware of it. So it's quite possible that the person you were thinking of was also thinking of you around the same time and your connection in the dream world manifested in the physical world with their call or message a few days later. Pretty fascinating stuff, if you ask me. It's amazing how interconnected we all are, even if we can't always see or understand the invisible threads that bind us.

Jay Lane: 8:28

Now let's talk about our unconscious, being that essential part of every human. Our unconscious is what allows us to rest and re-energize our bodies so that we can function day to day. Not everyone gets the rest that they need. The truth is, we all become unconscious at times, and I'm not referring to medical unconsciousness, I mean the resting state. In that unconscious state, we also have the ability to have subconscious thoughts through dreaming. So we daydream, but we can also nightdream, and many people claim that they don't dream. But the reality is is that every single human being dreams. Some of those dreams can feel so real, they stick with us for days, and then there are dreams that we don't recall until years later, when a sudden memory of the dream flashes back, only to disappear just as quickly. This cycle of dreaming and forgetting is completely normal when we dream.

Jay Lane: 9:35

There are some fascinating things to ponder, and you're going to want to kind of check this out, because I'm sure you haven't thought of this and if you have, you might find this really interesting. Have you ever noticed that you don't see your own body when you're dreaming? It's like you're seeing from the eyeballs out, like you've just got a pair of eyeballs with this narrow, tunnel-like field of vision, unable to perceive your surroundings peripherally. Like when you're awake, you experience the dream from a first-person perspective, seeing only what's in front of you perspective, seeing only what's in front of you. Another curious aspect is that, unless you're dreaming of a specific person, you may be unaware of their existence. For example, if you're being chased by a bunch of dogs in a dream, your mother wouldn't register as present unless she was an active part of that scenario.

Jay Lane: 10:31

Have you ever flown in a dream? Well, I have, but I've never looked back to see what kind of wings I had. It's as if, when dreaming, we're unaware that we're even human, unless the dream specifically depicts us as such. These are a few of the fascinating quirks of the dreaming experience. It's almost like our normal sensory awareness and self-perception gets turned upside down when we enter the world of dreams. I always found it interesting because I remember a feeling I had during a near-death experience and in that moment I was unable to see my physical body. I had no awareness of my mother, my father, my siblings, or even that I was human. It was like as if I had undergone an instant transformation from body to soul. So when someone dies, they leave the third dimension and move into the fourth, the dream world as we know it.

Jay Lane: 11:33

Some souls get stuck in between realms, unaware that they've actually passed on. Most people call them ghosts, but I prefer to think of them as earthbound spirits. This isn't a punishment, though. The soul is still pure and happy, just unaware that it's left its physical body. This tends to happen with sudden or violent or difficult deaths, when the soul hasn't fully accepted the transition. It can also affect those who refuse to embrace life while they were living.

Jay Lane: 12:04

Ultimately, I believe death is an instant journey from the physical world to the fifth dimension, the true afterlife. It's a profound transformation that we still struggle to fully understand, but, the way I see it, everyone's soul ultimately gets saved and moves on to the next plane of existence. Some people leave this physical world behind and cross over to the fourth dimension pretty quickly, then on to the fifth, which is the afterlife. Once they've made that transition, they know that they're in the afterlife and that they're no longer in a human body. The thing is, when they cross over, they shed their ego. They can't hold on to things like hatred, judgment or any negative feelings. Instead, they exist in a state of unconditional love and pure bliss. It's like they're in a euphoric, higher state of being. So while the journey is different for everyone, the end result is the same the soul finds its way to the afterlife, where it's freed from the constraints and baggage of the physical world. It's a pretty profound and beautiful process when you think about it.

Jay Lane: 13:17

I enjoyed discussing the third, fourth and fifth dimensions with you and the way that we are as human beings. Remember we spend most of our time in thought. Thinking belongs to dream world, which is the fourth dimension, but it's also when you put it out to the universe. That's where you're putting it out to is dream world, and we have to be mindful of our thoughts, as we tend to attract what we focus on. This life is all about manifesting our dreams. Look around. Everything that you see, from your bed to the curtains, to the paintings on the wall was once someone's dream. So always focus on what you want, not what you don't want. I wish you a happy and prosperous new year, and may all your dreams come true Until next time we'll see you again real soon. Bye, bye. Thanks for listening in.
