# Dimensions : Home >[!info] >The Dimensions (or States in [[Integral Theory]]) are the simultaneously occurring realms of experience that humans can access by altering their state of consciousness. > >They exist on the Micro Level in the Human as "States or Tiers of Awareness" and on the Macro Level in the [[Universe]] as "Dimensions" or "Realms." > >Often called "[Planes of Existence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(esotericism))" in the myriad esoteric traditions of the world. > >[!important]+ >Unlike the [[Intelligences]] and [[Archetypes]], the Dimensions / States, like the [[]], are [[Holarchy (Holons)|holarchies]], meaning each subsequent one transcends and includes the priors. This can be thought of in the same was as a Russian nesting doll. > >So the [[1D - Unity|1st Dimension]] only includes itself, but the [[7D - Void|7th Dimension]] includes all the others and transcends them. > >[[The One Infinite Creator]] is the Non-Dual Union of all of them together into the Great One. Equally everything everywhere all at once. --- ## The 7 Macro Dimensions These are the big realms of the whole hierarchy of awareness we call the cosmos or [[Universe]]. ### [[1D - Unity|1D · 1st Dimension · Unity]] ### [[2D - Polarity|2D · 2nd Dimension · Polarity]] ### [[3D - Space|3D · 3rd Dimension · Space]] ### [[4D - Time|4D · 4th Dimension · Time]] ### [[5D - Karma|5D · 5th Dimension · Karma]] ### [[6D - Realities|6D · 6th Dimension · Realities]] ### [[7D - Void|7D · 7th Dimension · Void]] --- ## The 7 Micro Dimensions These are the tiers of awareness possible within the personal human being, all of them substages within the [[3D - Space|3rd Dimension]], hence the notation "3.(x)D." Below these are the [[2D - Polarity|2nd Dimension]] and the [[1D - Unity|1st Dimension]], and above them the 4th, 5th, 6th, & 7th, all of which do not contain space-bound personal experience in the same way, the hallmark of the 3rd Dimension which is Space. Go lower and there is just the [[2D - Polarity|dance of polarity]] or the [[1D - Unity|peace of the limitlessness]], and above the self is much more expansive, stretching discontinuously across time and space, appearing multiple places at once. ### [[3.1D · Sensation]] ### [[3.2D · Preference]] ### [[3.3D · Willpower]] ### [[3.4D · Connection]] ### [[3.5D · Synergy]] ### [[3.6D · Analysis]] ### [[3.7D · Awareness]]
