Your Multidimensional Nature

Human beings are multidimensional in nature. But what does that mean?
Many of us understand that we have a soul, and the soul is part of spirit. The soul is what makes us a spiritual being having a human experience, and not the other way around.
Where is the soul?
The part of us that is spirit, which we call the soul, is both inside and outside of our body. In fact, the body is inside the soul, yet some people believe the body contains the soul. The soul flows through the body and brings it to life; the physical body is merely a vessel for having an Earthly experience.
The soul decides, before birth, to have a human life and it chooses the life circumstances it wishes to experience. None of these experiences are deemed good or bad; the soul doesn't label things as it doesn't feel emotion or a connection to certain conditions. It simply chooses the experiences it wishes to have.
The soul flows into the human body, giving it life. Through the human body, the soul is able to experience the 3D world through human senses.

Consciousness
The soul also breathes consciousness into the physical being, which is what makes us aware. It's because of consciousness that we are able to think, perceive, conceptualise and manifest. But without the soul, none of that would happen. We need a soul to have life. Consciousness is how that life is then perceived. Consciousness can expand, shift and change, grow and evolve and it does this through having physical and non-physical experiences.
Your Multidimensional Nature and the Spirit World
The soul 'lives' in the spirit world; it is part of the spirit world and never leaves it. It is connected to what is called the Higher Self, which also lives in the spirit world. The Higher Self is a vast mass of energy and is, essentially, a collection of souls - including yours - all having their own experiences. Think of the soul as a library book and the Higher Self as the entire library, housing countless books, each representing different soul's journeys.
The soul does not leave the spirit world to come to Earth. This is because Earth and the spirit world are intertwined, however they occupy different frequencies, and many people on Earth cannot perceive the spirit world that is all around them. So the part of you that is your soul, remains in the spirit world, and is in the spirit world right now.

Your physical body is contained within the third dimension whilst your soul remains in spirit. This means you are occupying both the third dimension (Earth, in your physical form) and the spirit world (your soul) at the same time.
This is why you are multidimensional. You are both human and spirit.
In addition, your consciousness could occupy another dimension. Many of us are reaching 5th dimensional (5D) states of consciousness, which is where we recognise our multidimensional nature and become higher in vibration. So that means you are in the third dimension, the fifth dimension and the spirit world - all at once!
It's worth noting that the spirit world isn't contained within a dimension, it is of a pure love frequency, just like source. In addition to the spirit world, there are 12 dimensions which each have their own set of rules and experiences. All of these 12 dimensions are operating in the same space as the spirit world, but at different frequencies - rather like a radio has multiple stations all broadcasting at once but they appear 'separate' to each other, even though they're all on the same radio.
Your True Nature - the Soul
So that you can understand which part of you is soul, and which is human, I'd like you to imagine you're watching a movie on a big cinema screen. You're sat in the cinema, surrounded by empty seats. There’s a character in the movie who you really resonate with. Now imagine moving forward and jumping into the cinema screen, and becoming that character. You get to play that character, that role, and experiment with it, have fun with it. But you retain the awareness that the real you is behind the scenes, watching you play the role in your life’s movie.

The reason you have an awareness that there is something bigger than you, observing in the background, is through your consciousness. It's through your consciousness that you get to understand your multi-faceted nature. But the being who is watching the movie is your soul. Your soul is who you truly are, at the core. And it's sat right now in the cinema observing you, full of love and without any judgment or thought.
In Summary
In recognising our multidimensional nature, we can understand that life is far more expansive and amazing than what we can perceive solely with our human senses. Beneath the surface of our daily experiences lies a deeper truth - we are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spirit expressing itself through human form. When we shift our perspective from identification with the role we're playing, to awareness of the one watching behind the scenes, we reconnect with the wisdom, peace and love of the soul. And in that remembering, we begin to live more consciously, more fully, and more aligned with our true nature ✨
