In one of my previous blogs I said, while reading a Rucker book on higher dimensions, that no drug could screw up your mind as much as high level mathmatics. I'm still standing by that statement.
One of the things that I'm doing as I read the book, is trying to "see" the descriptions in my head. From a fourth dimensional view of three dimensional space. To a fourth dimensional view of fourth dimensional space. It's a bit disoreinting. Just a few minutes ago I stopped reading and reached over for a smoke. My head swam with different perceptions for a moment as my mind was locked in trying to decipher the descriptions that Rudy was giving me in the book.
The most interesting bit though was last night. I love that period of time just before sleep when your rational mind just shuts off. That's when I experience some of my best... "concepts" so to speak. Not thoughts, not images, just jumbles of input that don't make any real sense, but still feel like some kind of sense. Like how things make sense in dreams, but don't in the real world. But, these things are occuring to me in the real world. If we do filter out the majority of the sensory input we receive, because we are unable to process it. It is these times that I allow these inputs to just wash over me.
Last night was the second time that I remember this happening. I don't remember what I was thinking about but suddenly there was this wash of extra perception that I could only interpret at the time, because of the book, as 4d information. To be honest the information is a little harrowing. It doesn't feel natural and puts me on edge.
In the end though I soon drifted off the sleep. At this point, I don't remember my dreams, but I think they were interesting. And this "4d" information mmight have shown up again. I'll have to run my head throuugh the ringer again before I go to bed tonight and see what happens.
