Im loving the ideas in this thread!
i do wish to add some knowledge to the mix, if i may?
In terms of Dimension and energy, we often assume that the 3D world we live in is made up of 2D and that of 1D structures... true if an object existed in the 2D world, it would have lenght and width but not depth. it would be an atom thin (for imagination purposes) but in reality, it depends on conciousness as to how many dimensions you are aware of..
i.e. a single cell has no concept of us, becuase he exists soley on a 1D plane, all be it in a 3D world but due to his limited awareness and perceptions, all he sees is 1D..
going up from here, a 2D lifeform is what we would consider an amoeba, a collection of multiple, single celled oganisms working together for a common goal....
next up from here we have 3D life, plants, animals and us... we know this level so i wont go into it..
next from that we have the 4D entities, spirit as we call it... now this has been severly misunderstood in the past...
we are spirit.
we are 4th Dimensional entities jumping into a 3D world in order to learn, grow and experience what it is to co-create. there is alot more going on between the 3D and 4D realms than can simply be explained here and now but in terms of the "sucking of energy" from different dimensions - this is a process of spirit - our conciousness/awareness.
as the Kybalion says, the universe is mental. all is mental, this is how we are able to affect matter by thought, which is energy...
i hope this has helped bring some understanding to the table, sorry for jumps in grammer (at work and had to switch between windows when boss came in
)
Namaste
