Essay

Dear Eric, Please keep in mind that everything I am about to relate to you is the truth and is in no way to be taken lightly. I am sending you this message through a letter so that it is easier for you to be able to understand. I am the Eric Pait from the Fourth Dimensional Plain of Existance, or fourth dimension for short. This may be hard for you to understand at the moment, but I know that it will all become clear by the time you finish this letter, because I am you, and I know how smart I am. We came to be in the 4th Dimension due to an unavoidable accident that happens about one month after we get this message. We will be abducted by fourth dimensional aliens. Do not worry, for they will not try to harm us. In fact, the reason they choose us is because we are one of the only humans on earth that were currently old enough to be able to understand and make use of the 4th dimension but also young enough to actualy believe in what we were being told without going crazy. They have much to teach us about the fourth dimension and how to traverse. This will probably go much smoother if I give you an explanation as to what, exactly the fourth dimension is. Lets say that you are walking down the sidewalk and then suddenly, you find yourself already at your destination in what seems like seconds, yet you can remember taking much longer to get there. You accomplished this by traveling through the fourth dimension. In other words, traveling through the fourth dimension is the equivalent to skipping through time, or getting “un-stuck” from time. This happens often enough by accident, though it is extremely hard to accomplish on purpose. When you become “un-stuck” from time, it is possible to move through your memories as if you were walking down the street. Whether you go forwards or backwards in time is completely up to you. However, there are some rules that cannot be broken. First of all, you can only travel through your own memories. You cannot travel through the memories of anyone else. Second, this is not the same as time travel in that you cannot alter the past, present, or future in any way. You have to let things carry out naturaly and may not interfere with any previous or future decision you may or may not make. Third, you can only travel to periods where you are alive. You can’t travel to the age of the dinosaurs because you did not exist back then and you can’t go to the end of all time because you will have long since been dead. Those are the three basic laws of the fourth dimension. By now, we should have a decent idea of what the fourth dimension entails. For example, I could go through time to when I write this letter or to when I read the letter asyou are now. Another common occurance of the fourth dimension that many people take for granted is when you are asleep. Going to sleep is merely turning of your three dimensional thinking in order to move through the fourth dimension. That is why there seems to be a lapse in time from when you go to sleep and when you wake up. You are moving through the fourth dimension without realizing it and without being able to see it. While you are sleeping, you dream in the fourth dimension as well. That is why you can have a realistic dream that seems to span weeks while in the three dimensional world, only a few hours pass. That is also why dreams can sometimes help people see into the future. They are catching glipses of themselves through the fourth dimension. This also explains the existance of ghosts to some degree, though we haven’t actually met one in order to confirm it. Ghosts are actually people who have attempted to become “unstuck” in time and were unsuccesful. Their image becomes imprinted in the location that they try to visit, although no actual harm befalls the actual body of the person who attempted such a thing without any kind of training. Thankfully, we will be well trained by the mysterious fourth dimensional aliens I mentioned before, so there is no need to fear of becoming ghosts ourselves. I cannot relate how important it is that you realize that in no way can you alter the flow of time and space while in the fourth dimension in order to change the future or the past. This is possible by using the fifth dimension, although it is against the laws of the aliens (and all beings of the fourth dimension, including us,) that no organic materials can be moved through this fifth dimension. However, things like thins note are completely passable through this fifth dimension, which is how we ended up receiving it in the first place. In conclusion, in order to use the fourth dimension as best as possible, it is important to live life as best as you can with as many good memories as you can fit into your ccentury of life. This is because it is not always easy to control when and where you end up, so you might as well make it more probable to find yourself in a happy place than your most terrifying memory, like your own birth, (I’ve been there and quite frankly do not want to go back.) With great respect, Eric.
