Dimensions
In Shum Sanctuary the word Dimensions (or dimensions) relates to planes of existence in its Cosmology. These Dimensions of which there are 14 span from our physical world to the causal planes. Dimensions in this context doesn't carry the scientific meaning of length, width, height, space and time. They are also not alternate realities to the world we are in as postulated by String Theory's Parallel Universes. These dimensions exists within ourselves and allow us to function in and experience different planes of reality within the one we are in. An example of this are dreams as we sleep, where we can have experiences similar to or very different from our daily life. We do not doubt the veracity of our experiences while we dream but when we awake they fleet away as figments of imagination. The understanding of these dimensions are rooted in the spiritual chakras and provide the framework for mystical growth through Rehnadee Shum meditations which is assessed by the dimension an attained mystical experience is in. For instance a novice meditator starts with goals set in the 3rd or 4th Dimensions and as they attain their goals they move on to the higher dimensions. As they progress in mystic proficiency across the dimensions they will aim for the goal of goals, the ultimate state of enlightenment–Emkaeef; .
The 14 Dimensions
In Shum Sanctuary The 14 Dimensions are in reference to all of Creation which is organised in Rehnadee Shum's Cosmology into levels called Dimensions. The First Dimension is the densest part of Creation which is the world around us. The 14th Dimension is at the Apex of Creation–from whence all Creation issues forth. Between the 1st and the 14th Dimensions are Dimensions that are gradually more spiritual and these are grouped into three states of existence–these being physical-astral, The Universe; astral-spiritual, The Innerverse; and actinic-spiritual, The Multiverse. The Universe dominates the first two dimensions and dilutes gradually in the following three dimensions. The Innerverse operates from the Second Dimension through to the Tenth Dimension, with it being exclusive from the 6th Dimension to the 10th Dimension. The Multiverse is from the Eleventh Dimension through to the Fouteenth Dimension.
The 10 Dimensions of Rehnadee Shum
The Universe is where we identify ourselves primarily as our physical body. We are our given name, nick-name, honorifics and titles. Here our experience revolves around the world of people, animals, places and things on Earth. It also includes experiences in dimensions of the astral planes closest to Earth (where ancestors and elemental beings exist). Of the first five dimensions of the Universe, its forces dominate mainly within the first three dimensions. The fourth and fifth dimension are much more imbued by the Innerverse by ever greater overlaps.
The Innerverse begins in tandem with the Universe from the Second to the Fifth Dimension and starts exclusively from the Sixth through to the Tenth Dimension. The Innerverse is the Universe of The Mind and the Mystic Universe within us. All the faculties of our mind such as memory, intellect, our personality and our spirituality is the Innerverse. The Shum language is used to explore The Innerverse and just as we use other languages to explore The Universe.
Rehnadee Shum is used to name and categorise elements and experiences within our mind and spirituality from the First dimension to the Tenth Dimension. Much of our mind that relates to The Universe is covered by modern psychology and psychiatry and we understand them naturally through our life experiences. Rehnadee Shum words covers this part of our mind which spans upto the Fourth Dimension. The Mystic Mind part of the Innerverse overlaps with the Universe from the Second Dimension and goes on upto the Tenth Dimension. These Rehnadee Shum words cover meditation practices and mystic experiences such as the States of Enlightenment and of our spiritual being. Rehnadee Shum words starting from the Fifth Dimension become specific to the Innerverse where there is only a few corresponding words in spoken languages.
Multiverse Dimensions
The Multiverse starts with a slight overlap in the Tenth Dimension of Innerverse. The 11th Dimension to the 14th Dimension is all Multiverse. These are dimensions where causal elements of Creation and Apex-Creation forces exist. This dimensions are beyond human experiences, even for an advanced mystic because it is only possible to access them through the soul body that is unencumbered by a physical body. In other words only an advanced mystic who has passed on has access to these rarified dimensions. Thus they are beyond the reach of the Rehnadee Shum save a little overlap with the Innerverse in the Tenth Dimension and the 14th Dimension experience of Emkaeef; which is the ultimate state of enlightenment.
