Boundless Dimensions

Share This

All the boundless dimensions of reality—realms of love, knowledge, awareness, nonbeing, and dynamism—are non-dual in the sense that they contain no dichotomy between subject and object. That is to say, in the realization of the boundless dimensions, there is no separate “I” experiencing the dimension. The sense of I is the dimension experiencing itself as a unified totality. Not only is there no subject/object dichotomy between you and the boundlessness, but also there is no subject/object dichotomy between the vastness and all objects and phenomena within it. Every single form is a manifestation of the same field. Experiencing this kind of presence that is not limited by any boundaries or partitions will put pressure on the structures, beliefs, and ideas that limit our sense of self to a particular shape or size. The nondual dimensions of Total Being initially arise inseparably from our obscurations because each dimension addresses a certain level of obstruction as if it were designed specifically for that purpose. We discover that there is an inherent intelligence in reality: Our obstacles, delusions, and limitations are directly connected to the pure or free dimensions of reality. – Runaway Realization: Living a Life of Ceaseless Discovery, Ch. 15

On deeper levels of realization, as on the boundless levels of Being, where everything is a manifestation of true nature, loving the truth becomes even more subtle. Here we feel we love everything, but that doesn’t mean that we love crimes and diseases and so on. We are aware of the reality that pervades everything and that reality is what we love.

At the level of the boundless dimensions, we do not love an individual form but rather the immaculate nature of the wholeness. As we go deeper into our journey of discovering truth, we will see the meaning of truth change. At the beginning, truth is finding out about relative phenomena and space-time events: our emotions, our feelings, the world, conflicts, and relationships. But that is only one kind of truth, where the love is not of these elements but of the process of revelation of the truth, for this revelation is the essential truth penetrating our ordinary experience. – A. H. Almaas, Diamond Heart Book Five: Inexhaustible Mystery, Ch. 3
