# Dimensions > Dimensions are frequency defined perspectives rather than fixed physical locations and any shift in frequency is itself a shift into a different dimension - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/dimensions # Dimensions Dimensionality, in Bashar's teaching, is a function of frequency, not a fixed ladder with a final number of rungs. There are infinitely many dimensions, while certain vibrationally adjacent levels — physical, subconscious, unconscious, template, higher mind, individual soul, oversoul, oversoul of oversouls, all-that-is — are the ones most relevant to a given reality experience. A change of frequency is itself a change of dimension, whether the resulting experience is physical, non-physical, or beyond what the imagination can currently comprehend. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) This is a conceptual metaphysical model, not established physics; the transcripts ask that it be tested as a framing rather than accepted as observation. ## Time as the dimensionalizer Bashar's foundational move is to treat time as the dimensionalizer. A point extended through time becomes a line; a line through time becomes a plane; a plane through time becomes a volume; a volume through time becomes the meta-volume of parallel simultaneous realities. Synchronicity, in this framing, is the physical-reality experience of the time factor expanding your dimensionality — the moment when more of that meta-volume becomes visible to you. The same model uses ice, water, and steam as an analogy for dimensions of the same substance experienced differently because of the frequency of energy within them. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) ## Infinitely many dimensions; frequency is the distinction The session that gives this topic its name rejects a fixed seven-level hierarchy. It presents dimensionality as open-ended: infinitely many dimensions can be relevant in differing degrees to a person's present experience, and a dimension is identified with a shift in frequency. Ice, water, and steam are offered as an analogy — different dimensions of the same substance, experienced differently because of the frequency of energy within them. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) Some dimensions express themselves physiologically, in the way humans are familiar with; some are non-physical; some are in states the imagination cannot yet comprehend. All of it, nevertheless, is just shifts in frequency. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) A shift into a parallel reality is the same kind of operation: any shift into a different frequency really is a different dimension. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) ## Dimensions as separate physical universes The same principle is applied to civilizations. Asked about the civilization called Iarga, Bashar replied that it is not in our reality at all but in another dimension — another physical universe, even though within its own reality its galaxies and stars are as physical to it as ours are to us. What looks like an astronomical location is actually an overlap with our galaxy rather than a shared location. Bashar's own civilization orbits a star about 500 light-years in the direction of Orion, but we cannot see the star because his civilization is not in our dimension of reality; they have their own universe. > — Civilization From Iarga Are In A Different Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/civilization-from-iarga-are-in-a-different-dimension) Contact between dimensions, then, is not a matter of crossing empty space; it requires a shift in frequency domain. Iarga makes contact on a mental level, bringing with it physical projections that may make the contact seem physical — but the shift of frequency is the actual mechanism. > — Civilization From Iarga Are In A Different Dimension (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/civilization-from-iarga-are-in-a-different-dimension) ## Symptoms of shifting dimensions Because dimensions are frequency-defined, shifting between them has symptoms in the body and the senses. Sleep paralysis after astral travel is, in this framing, the precision required to reinsert yourself into the right dimensional parallel reality; moving before you are aligned can land you in a reality you did not prefer. > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) Speaking an unintelligible language for days at a time can be the cross-wiring of expanding awareness, as other simultaneous existences leak into this one. > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) Both are natural symptoms of reinventing yourself at a new reality level, not signs that something is wrong. The same session describes a vortex as a dimensional gateway, a hub where many realities cross. To stand in a vortex with expanding senses is to stand at a crossroads — to be in many dimensions at once, meeting beings from everywhere, rather than traveling to any single one. > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-5), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) ## Ascension as a change of dimension Ascension, on this model, is simply the description of a change in frequency — a continually changing state of being. It is not itself a permission slip; it is what is happening as you change frequency. Permission slips can be used to shape how you experience that change, but ascension itself is the description of the change. Ascension, in a sense, is a continually changing state of being… Permission slips can be utilized to help you with the idea of exactly how it is you experience the change in that frequency, but ascension itself is simply the description of a change in frequency. As you utilize that continuous change of state, you move to a different dimension, merging and bringing in the technologies of the dimensions you meet, which implement new ways of existing at a higher frequency relationship. > — Ascension As A Change In Frequency And State (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/ascension-as-a-change-in-frequency-and-state) Ascension and dimensional shift are therefore two descriptions of the same process: a change of frequency that brings a different reality into view. ## Practical implications Treat dimensions as frequency-defined perspectives, not places. What appears as a location is an overlap with your reality; the actual difference is frequency. > — Civilization From Iarga Are In A Different Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/civilization-from-iarga-are-in-a-different-dimension) Expect symptoms when you shift. Sleep paralysis, momentary unintelligibility, and perceptual leakage can be natural signs of dimensional realignment, not pathology. > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) Treat ascension as a description, not a technique. It is what is happening as frequency changes; permission slips shape the experience. > — Ascension As A Change In Frequency And State (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/ascension-as-a-change-in-frequency-and-state) When you encounter a vortex or sacred site, expect a crossroads. A vortex is a hub where many realities intersect; an expanding perceiver in one meets beings from many dimensions at once. > — Astral Travel Shifting Dimensions Vortex Gateways (qa-5), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/astral-travel-shifting-dimensions-vortex-gateways) Distinguish dimension from density. Both are frequency-based in this model, but density describes how refined a physical reality is (ice, water, steam), while dimension describes a frequency-defined perspective on reality. > — Any Shift In Frequency Is A Shift Into Another Dimension (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/any-shift-in-frequency-is-a-shift-into-another-dimension) ## Representative passages There are actually an infinite number of dimensions, but there are certain ones that are relevant for your particular reality, most closely associated vibrationally with your particular reality experience… All it really is is a different frequency shift. That's all. Some dimensions in that sense can express themselves physiologically in the way that you are familiar with. Some are non-physical.— Bashar, It is actually not in your reality. It is another dimension altogether. Remember that even though in each reality, those realities, those galaxies, those universes may seem physical to them and are, they're not necessarily physical to you. And yours is not necessarily physical to them unless they make a shift into your frequency domain.— Bashar, That may just be your technique of making sure that you are realigning with the proper dimensional parallel reality that you wish to inject yourself into… in a sense you have to make sure that the vibrational frequency of the dimension you are going to is precise so that you wind up where you want to wind up.— Bashar, That is what a vortex is — a dimensional gateway that connects to many other realities… You were in a vortex, which is a hub and connection point to many different dimensions — the middle of a crossroads of many different dimensional experiences. You were in all of them at once.— Bashar, Ascension, in a sense, is a continually changing state of being. That's not so much a permission slip in and of itself as it is simply a description of a changing frequency… ascension itself is simply the description of a change in frequency.— Bashar, ## Additional sources (topic orientation — opening paragraph framing derived from the same session set; the time-as-dimensionalizer passage is reflected across the linked transcripts in this chapter) ## Related - [Time](https://sassani.app/topic/time) - [Parallel Realities](https://sassani.app/topic/parallel-realities) - [Holographic Universe](https://sassani.app/topic/holographic-universe) - [Synchronicity](https://sassani.app/topic/synchronicity) - [Vibration](https://sassani.app/topic/vibration) - [Ascension](https://sassani.app/topic/ascension) - [Density](https://sassani.app/topic/density) - [Energy Vortices & Earth Grid](https://sassani.app/topic/energy-vortices) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/dimensions.
