00:00:01.723 --> 00:00:08.582
Get ready to be captivated and intrigued as we delve into my life of spirits and all things paranormal.
00:00:08.582 --> 00:00:22.053
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.
00:00:22.053 --> 00:00:26.530
Grab your favorite mug and settle in and let's get started.
00:00:26.530 --> 00:00:52.335
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?
00:00:52.335 --> 00:00:54.701
You know, before we're even born.
00:00:54.701 --> 00:01:00.561
I believe that we come from the other side, what we call the afterlife or the fifth dimension.
00:01:00.561 --> 00:01:04.552
But before we get into that, let's talk about what dimensions are.
00:01:04.552 --> 00:01:09.066
To me, dimensions are just a different way of seeing the world.
00:01:09.066 --> 00:01:09.707
Visually.
00:01:09.707 --> 00:01:15.084
We live in the third dimension, which is what gives us that 3D perspective.
00:01:15.084 --> 00:01:17.150
Think about a Zoom call.
00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:23.667
When you're on a video chat, you're only seeing each other in two dimensions, like flat little pancakes.
00:01:23.667 --> 00:01:26.893
You lose the sense of depth and of volume.
00:01:26.893 --> 00:01:32.314
It's like watching TV Everything's flat without being able to see the layers behind it.
00:01:32.314 --> 00:01:41.424
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.
00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:48.906
It's this whole other plane of being that we can't fully comprehend from our limited perspective here.
00:01:48.906 --> 00:01:52.496
But I believe that's where we originate from.
00:01:52.496 --> 00:01:54.260
That's the other side.
00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:58.088
We come from there before we enter this physical world.
00:01:58.088 --> 00:02:00.072
Have you ever thought about that?
00:02:00.072 --> 00:02:01.643
Does that make sense to you?
00:02:01.643 --> 00:02:02.646
Now?
00:02:02.646 --> 00:02:07.703
The more dimensions there are, the more we can see, the more we're able to perceive.
00:02:08.485 --> 00:02:11.432
As I've mentioned, we originate from the fifth dimension.
00:02:11.432 --> 00:02:20.364
Before incarnating here, we make agreements with one another to undergo certain life experiences on this earthly plane.
00:02:20.364 --> 00:02:21.806
Then we're born.
00:02:21.806 --> 00:02:27.500
Do you recall the experience of being born plane?
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:27.941
Then we're born.
00:02:27.941 --> 00:02:29.122
Do you recall the experience of being born?
00:02:29.122 --> 00:02:29.844
If so, it was likely quite traumatic.
00:02:29.844 --> 00:02:33.170
Birth is one of the most challenging days of our lives.
00:02:33.170 --> 00:02:35.861
It's where we first learn fears.
00:02:35.861 --> 00:02:40.770
We're born as conscious beings, but not yet fully self-aware.
00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:49.444
From day one we develop fears, like the fear of noise and the fear of falling, which we carry with us throughout our lifetimes.
00:02:49.444 --> 00:02:56.765
As we grow and as we learn, we gradually become more consciously aware through our earthly experiences.
00:02:56.765 --> 00:03:04.633
Most of us start to remember our lives between the ages of two and three, but some don't recall much until their teens.
00:03:04.633 --> 00:03:13.674
I think that's because we all have different experiences and varying desires to remember whether our pasts were traumatic or not.
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:28.805
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.
00:03:28.805 --> 00:03:39.550
We also exist in three distinct modes of being as human beings Our conscious, subconscious and unconscious states.
00:03:39.550 --> 00:03:43.080
Our conscious state is our physical body.
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:50.169
We can see, hear, smell and sense the world around us, and these senses help keep us safe.
00:03:50.169 --> 00:03:54.175
We can also perceive things in our peripheral vision.
00:03:54.175 --> 00:04:10.895
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.
00:04:12.401 --> 00:04:16.732
Our subconscious is a complex and multifaceted realm.
00:04:16.732 --> 00:04:24.307
It's where our emotions happiness, sadness, anger and everything in between reside and manifest.
00:04:24.307 --> 00:04:29.543
In many ways, it's the core of who we are, our very essence.
00:04:29.543 --> 00:04:40.690
This subconscious dimension is also connected to a fourth realm, the fourth dimension, a dream world where the impossible becomes possible.
00:04:40.690 --> 00:04:47.201
When we close our eyes and visualize something like, for instance, a pink cake with purple polka dots.
00:04:47.201 --> 00:04:48.865
We don't see ourselves.
00:04:48.865 --> 00:04:52.512
We simply experience the image in our mind's eye.
00:04:53.459 --> 00:05:03.026
The ability to conjure vivid mental imagery is a testament to the power and interconnectedness of our conscious and subconscious states.
00:05:03.026 --> 00:05:14.713
Our subconscious is not just a repository of feelings, but a creative wellspring, an unseen dimension that shapes our reality in profound ways.
00:05:14.713 --> 00:05:28.906
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.
00:05:36.994 --> 00:05:50.180
Some might picture round cakes, others rectangular ones, some may envision a single layer cake, while others imagine towering double and triple deckers.
00:05:50.180 --> 00:06:02.728
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.
00:06:02.728 --> 00:06:09.228
Our mental images are shaped by our individual preferences, fears and experiences.
00:06:09.228 --> 00:06:14.420
When you picture this cake in your mind, you're not actually seeing yourself.
00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:20.077
You're simply observing the visual that your subconscious has created in that moment.
00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:27.237
Our inner dream worlds are highly personalized and connected to our own unique perspectives.
00:06:27.237 --> 00:06:32.627
As I've mentioned, dream world is where we can imagine the impossible.
00:06:32.627 --> 00:06:37.387
If I asked you to jump over the CN Tower with me, you'd think I was crazy.
00:06:37.387 --> 00:06:41.761
After all, it's physically impossible to leap over the CN Tower.
00:06:41.761 --> 00:06:49.781
But if I asked you to close your eyes and picture yourself soaring over the tower, you could probably do it under a minute.
00:06:50.843 --> 00:06:53.848
In our daydreams, we can imagine anything.
00:06:53.848 --> 00:07:04.418
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.
00:07:04.418 --> 00:07:07.682
It's all about envisioning the day ahead.
00:07:07.682 --> 00:07:13.396
Sure, dream world is make-believe, but it's where our minds are free to roam.
00:07:13.396 --> 00:07:19.949
We may not be able to defy the laws of physics, but in our thoughts, the sky's the limit.
00:07:21.115 --> 00:07:23.281
I'm sure you've had the experience before.
00:07:23.281 --> 00:07:30.149
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.
00:07:30.149 --> 00:07:33.598
It's almost like we're connected in some way, right?
00:07:33.598 --> 00:07:37.547
Well, there might actually be an explanation for that.
00:07:37.547 --> 00:07:55.062
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.
00:07:55.062 --> 00:08:02.889
It's like this space where our thoughts and energies can intermingle, even if we're not consciously aware of it.
00:08:02.889 --> 00:08:16.137
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.
00:08:16.137 --> 00:08:18.882
Pretty fascinating stuff, if you ask me.
00:08:18.882 --> 00:08:27.879
It's amazing how interconnected we all are, even if we can't always see or understand the invisible threads that bind us.
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:34.437
Now let's talk about our unconscious, being that essential part of every human.
00:08:34.437 --> 00:08:41.738
Our unconscious is what allows us to rest and re-energize our bodies so that we can function day to day.
00:08:41.738 --> 00:08:45.106
Not everyone gets the rest that they need.
00:08:45.106 --> 00:08:54.177
The truth is, we all become unconscious at times, and I'm not referring to medical unconsciousness, I mean the resting state.
00:08:54.177 --> 00:09:01.957
In that unconscious state, we also have the ability to have subconscious thoughts through dreaming.
00:09:01.957 --> 00:09:07.775
So we daydream, but we can also nightdream, and many people claim that they don't dream.
00:09:07.775 --> 00:09:13.388
But the reality is is that every single human being dreams.
00:09:13.388 --> 00:09:29.418
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.
00:09:29.418 --> 00:09:35.636
This cycle of dreaming and forgetting is completely normal when we dream.
00:09:35.898 --> 00:09:46.198
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.
00:09:46.198 --> 00:09:50.018
Have you ever noticed that you don't see your own body when you're dreaming?
00:09:50.018 --> 00:10:00.668
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.
00:10:00.668 --> 00:10:14.140
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.
00:10:14.140 --> 00:10:18.817
Another curious aspect is that, unless you're dreaming of a specific person, you may be unaware of their existence.
00:10:18.817 --> 00:10:29.620
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.
00:10:31.167 --> 00:10:32.732
Have you ever flown in a dream?
00:10:32.732 --> 00:10:37.136
Well, I have, but I've never looked back to see what kind of wings I had.
00:10:37.136 --> 00:10:45.078
It's as if, when dreaming, we're unaware that we're even human, unless the dream specifically depicts us as such.
00:10:45.078 --> 00:10:51.458
These are a few of the fascinating quirks of the dreaming experience.
00:10:51.458 -->
00:10:59.851
It's almost like our normal sensory awareness and self-perception gets turned upside down when we enter the world of dreams.
00:10:59.851 --> 00:11:10.979
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.
00:11:10.979 --> 00:11:18.817
I had no awareness of my mother, my father, my siblings, or even that I was human.
00:11:18.817 --> 00:11:24.793
It was like as if I had undergone an instant transformation from body to soul.
00:11:24.793 --> 00:11:32.592
So when someone dies, they leave the third dimension and move into the fourth, the dream world as we know it.
00:11:33.274 --> 00:11:37.849
Some souls get stuck in between realms, unaware that they've actually passed on.
00:11:37.849 --> 00:11:43.046
Most people call them ghosts, but I prefer to think of them as earthbound spirits.
00:11:43.046 --> 00:11:45.530
This isn't a punishment, though.
00:11:45.530 --> 00:11:51.129
The soul is still pure and happy, just unaware that it's left its physical body.
00:11:51.129 --> 00:11:58.967
This tends to happen with sudden or violent or difficult deaths, when the soul hasn't fully accepted the transition.
00:11:58.967 --> 00:12:03.719
It can also affect those who refuse to embrace life while they were living.
00:12:04.745 --> 00:12:11.687
Ultimately, I believe death is an instant journey from the physical world to the fifth dimension, the true afterlife.
00:12:11.687 --> 00:12:24.226
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.
00:12:24.226 --> 00:12:33.413
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.
00:12:33.413 --> 00:12:40.313
Once they've made that transition, they know that they're in the afterlife and that they're no longer in a human body.
00:12:40.313 --> 00:12:44.495
The thing is, when they cross over, they shed their ego.
00:12:44.495 --> 00:12:50.245
They can't hold on to things like hatred, judgment or any negative feelings.
00:12:50.245 --> 00:12:55.297
Instead, they exist in a state of unconditional love and pure bliss.
00:12:55.297 --> 00:12:59.134
It's like they're in a euphoric, higher state of being.
00:12:59.134 --> 00:13:12.178
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.
00:13:12.178 --> 00:13:16.466
It's a pretty profound and beautiful process when you think about it.
00:13:17.808 --> 00:13:24.206
I enjoyed discussing the third, fourth and fifth dimensions with you and the way that we are as human beings.
00:13:24.206 --> 00:13:28.455
Remember we spend most of our time in thought.
00:13:28.455 --> 00:13:36.638
Thinking belongs to dream world, which is the fourth dimension, but it's also when you put it out to the universe.
00:13:36.638 --> 00:13:44.389
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.
00:13:44.389 --> 00:13:47.916
This life is all about manifesting our dreams.
00:13:47.916 --> 00:13:49.318
Look around.
00:13:49.318 --> 00:13:56.350
Everything that you see, from your bed to the curtains, to the paintings on the wall was once someone's dream.
00:13:56.350 --> 00:14:00.452
So always focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
00:14:00.452 --> 00:14:11.110
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.
00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:11.972
Bye, bye.
00:14:11.972 --> 00:14:14.230
Thanks for listening in.
00:14:14.230 --> 00:14:17.114
