In the midst of this palpitating invisible world hang the designs and patterns which mold our life. We have to consider whether these designs are propelled along the rays to which they belong, or whether they exist along the whole length of the rays, like the pattern in a stick of London rock. In the latter case our imagination could not compete with the actual condition because the ray is not like a stick, but radiates in all directions.

In any case, the designs are there, everywhere. There they persist, remaining utterly unchanged and unaffected by storm, tempest, heat and cold, wind, cloud, sun, light, and darkness. Various forms of meditation including guided meditation and transcendental meditation are some of the only warriors against these designs.

All the later conditions are superficial, superimposed upon that rock-like foundation of design and pattern, which fill, locked within and within each other, every fraction of that which we call space. Space so far has meant for us an area wherein a certain quantity of shapes, gases or substances is able to be packed, or arranged coincidentally. It allows for movement in all directions, around and through these substances.

To unlock what's hidden within this space, a certain amount of concentration is required. By performing Zen meditation or mindfulness meditation, you have the ability to relieve stress and anxiety. Space is something which stretches out and is full of places, while movement is something which proceeds from place to place. All this is fairly straightforward until we have completed our study of the fourth dimension.

But as soon as we find the necessity for a fifth dimension and begin to understand where its implications are leading us, we have to admit the existence of entirely different conditions and begin to do our best to imagine them. Instead of a space which stretches we have to consider a space which condenses. It's important to focus on many different types of meditation and breathing exercises in order to provide the stress relief required to keep your focus on one thought.

Instead of shapes and substances being in juxtaposition or permeation, they are inimitably contained in one spot, in any spot, and in all spots! Instead of movement from place to place we have movement of great force which does not proceed from place to place but is everywhere able to be tapped, a kind of moving-less movement, which can best be described as reserved force or will.

The fourth dimension was described as thoroughness. The fifth dimension can be described as withinness. This means that the cause of every growing thing, the form upon which it is built, the force which holds that form intact, and the energy which causes it to grow are not factors which come from outside it, from some other part in space.

They are all welling up from that tremendous dimension of withinness, the fifth dimension, which will not be understood by humanity as a whole for many hundred years. Each dimension, as it becomes discovered, understood and applied, gives us the use of greater forces. The unthinking man would consider that a stone hatchet was of more strength than one of gaseous substance.

Let him watch, however, the way in which an acetylene blowpipe cuts through metals, even under water, where his hatchet would be quite unwieldy. When fourth-dimensional forces are used they are able to master anything in the third-dimensional world. Think about this and meditate, even if you are just beginning meditation. Use the benefits of meditation to your advantage and follow the train of thought that leads to unlocking the fifth dimension.
