    I ask you then, what do you find enigmatic about this thread?

    It is not my intent to be obscure at all. You could ask questions if things are not immediately apparent.

    Soulman claims that he recognizes everything I've said.

    I have been succinct.

    You've been on this forum since Oct. 2009, or about 16 months, or about 480 days.

    In that time, you have posted 7,063 posts, or about 14 per day on this forum alone.

    You obviously have too much time on your hands, or you would be doing something more worthy than sparring deviously with other posters.

    In other words, get a life.

    Yes, if I was interested in what you thought, I'd ask for clarification.

    I have heard this before and it has absolutely no relevance to the questions being asked.
    I exchange ideas on this forum. I am otherwise engaged in many activities.

    How does one "spar deviously". I am being absolutely straightforward. You are claiming special knowledge on a forum that involves a vigorous exchange of ideas. There are many very bright and thoughtful people here.

    I am giving you an opportunity to express your "knowledge". Thus far in answer to any question it has been "refer to my books or read the links I provide." I can get precisely the same response from a car salesman.

    I've asked about your claim of being privy to a dimension that is "higher" than "the one we are in now." I ask what are the parameters of "higher" in this scenario. It is a legitimate question.

    Why are you here?

    Since my posts are enigmatic to you and you have no interest in trying to understand them, then you are not in a position to judge the worthiness or the intention of my statements.

    You are by your own declaration, ignorant.

    Actually, "selective" is much more accurate. :)

    Not in regard to the contents of my statements, you claim not to understand them. But yes, we choose what we give our attention to and I certainly do not begrudge you that.

    More precisely, I choose not to try. I've seen enough of your posts over the last couple of months to understand that whatever shred of substance may exist within every third or fourth one, isn't worth the effort it takes to unearth.

    And thank you ever so much for not begrudging my time management.

    Why even comment or respond in this instance?

    The course of responses from the op does not encourage me to want to go out and get the book.

    I am not the one claiming "special knowledge."

    To my knowledge, no one has.

    "It is far too complex an issue to address in a few simple sentences, which is why I pointed you in the direction of my books, which are an assimilation of reading some 750 books on the subject."

    The bold statements above, constitute claims of special information.

    Says who? Not me. Only you have so far.

    I guess I could compliment you on your perception and discernment.

    The quote in post 74 is taken from your statement. Further the title of the thread asserts, "all metaphysical/paranormal phenomena explained".

    I don't know how to regard that statement other than as a claim to special knowledge.

    I have read many, many takes on these issues and exceedingly few offer anything other than a hierarchy based not on demonstrated facts but on intoxication with new age vernacular.

    Well, rather than prejudging my "Awakening The Soul Trilogy" why don't you read it, and then you will have a true basis to comment on it, rather than blind speculation it is something it is not.

    Put your money where your mouth is, in other words.

    LoneDeranger:

    A belated "thank you" for your moral support on this issue.

    You say put my money where my mouth is. Why the hell would I put money behind what you say. My mouth speaks the things that come from me, and of those things I do invest in. The words that I speak are the words that I am liable for.

    I have not judged your books, I haven't even read them. Nor am I hostile to any success you might enjoy. What attracted me to your thread was the claim of special knowledge, "all metaphysical/paranormal phenomena explained". When I go into the thread I find an advertisement for books. If you were to say something that gave me the slightest inkling that you really knew anything about dimensions, the height and breadth and depth of anything, then that would be an advertisement that would catch my attention.

    The only thing I've read that you have written is right here. It is from this discourse, where you present yourself with answers or lack of them that you didn't choose the questions for, where your true level of knowledge falls.

    Do you have any ideas at all why a dimension is "higher" than any other dimension?

    I assume by dimension you mean level of reality, a level of consciousness, or existence.
    What gives you access to a dimension that all of us do not share?

    I can comfortably make an observation about the nature of reality.

    Reality is non local, nor is it remote, meaning there is no place that is any more real than any other place. What is not real, does not exist.

    Hey; did lonederanger buy your book? I don't need my mom to back me up.

    Before you can access dimensions of higher being, you must first educate yourself to the point you understand what is being discussed.

    Obviously you lack this understanding, or you would not be asking such basic (but complex) questions as to what higher dimensions constitute.

    Since you seem intelligent, I can't help but think that you are sandbagging us, and know the answers already. You speak in dimensional terms, but profess ignorance on the subject, which does not compute.
