I've tagged this as "lucky dip" rather than "conspiracy" because it doesn't really fit the category of "conspiracy" - some might think it "delusion" but I don't have a category for that as it's too broad a description - so "lucky dip" it is.

5G has been a topic that many have associated with an alternative cause of Covid-like symptoms - not in all realism too difficult as the Covid symptoms are pretty generic, and some of the reports from New York in the early days were quite suggestive of radiation poisoning (pneumonitis rather than pneumonia). I'm comfortable discussing such matters because I'm working within a "scientific" or "engineering" paradigm based upon facts logic and measurement and (relatively) clear definitions. 

5D (fifth dimension or 5th density) has often puzzled me (as an engineer) primarily because the engineering attributes of dimension (a measurable factor of independent variation) and density (a measure of a fourth dimension per cubic volume in 3 dimensions) are not obviously related to the spirituality level under discussion (however "spirituality" may be defined - never or vaguely for most people).

I am thus working in a word-space different from those who discuss spiritual matters in these terms, and I'm not making much headway in consequence.

That we live within a 3D (three dimensional) universe is a widely accepted proposition, whilst being manifestly untrue!

Yes we only have three dimensions of volumetric space (up-down, front-rear, left-right), yet within that volumetric space we have a measurable density of matter, measurable flows of radiation (light and sound), perhaps even a measurable density of "dark matter" (whatever that may be ... ) or maybe even grey matter (yet to be invented to cover some other glaring shortcoming of the "scientific" theory of everything). And all that is before we consider the small matter of time, which Einstein avers to be intricately bound up with 3D space as space-time. So 4D+ might be a better way of looking at the physical universe.

None of which seems to be relevant to matters spiritual.

We might think that we could turn here to the priests and clerics of the religions to guide us, but if theology has any relevance to this conundrum I have yet to stumble over it.

Sadly the Biblical stories and ancient writings seem to have been committed to scrolls / memory before the dimensional aspects of matters spiritual became current parlance, so are of little help (unless someone out there can enlighten me?).

Yet are matters spiritual not a part of the universe? Maybe they are, or maybe not ... I'm not sure that even the answer to this question is obvious, since we can't know for certain whether we exist within a universe or a (gasp!) multiverse!

And if a multiverse, would "the rules" be identical in each?

It would seem that science has some way to go before it can come up with a "theory of everything", for that would of necessity have to account for spirituality.

Maybe a better way to think of all this is to throw the small spanner of "consciousness" into the works. Maybe even "imagination".

Science has established that a conscious observer affects the physical universe in quite unexpected ways. Some even think that the universe itself is simply at some level an invention or a projection or a facet of consciousness.

If that should turn out to be true, then it seems to me that the search for the theory of everything may become like the quest for the Holy Grail - doomed to roam here and there for ever whilst the consciousness continuously reinvents / reimagines the rules so earnestly sought!

And if we could in some miraculous way understand the workings of the theory of everything, would we, the products of that theory, not become as Gods ourselves? Does that qualify as reductio ad absurdum?

Alert readers may have spotted the unjustified leaps of argument within the discourse above, but work with me here, for there is much that we don't understand and this is not a philosophical paper.

In fact it is merely an introduction to this article which I'm sure some will find interesting and some will dismiss as wishful imagination, or even an ephemeral invention of consciousness! Whichever your preference, I offer it for your consideration, even just for your entertainment.

At the very least I feel that it contains some truths that we can all relate to, even if our understanding remains incomplete and our doubts still hesitant to disperse.

Humanity in the Year 2022

Enjoy!
