When I was little, the Fifth Dimension was a musical group. Now, it’s an energy level. My how things have changed.

Friends and I had a very deep conversation this past weekend about being ready for the coming energy changes. We are in a constant state of energy fluctuation due to everyday life and if the astrological signs and portents are to be believed, there are more coming our way. People I know say that the fifth dimension of energy has yet to arrive, and others have told me it is already here. I don’t know who is right as I’m too busy keeping it together to care what dimension I’m in. While others are spending their time working to align their energy with the fifth dimension, the practical part of me is still dealing with the realities of 3D. Although it’s funny that a psychic I know said my energy was already aligned with the fifth dimension and that I was “leading the charge,” so to speak, for the people around me. I nodded my head, said thank you, and went on my merry way. I’m not saying she was wrong, but let’s just say I expected things around me to be different if or when that alignment occurred. I suppose it’s due to the hype that once all of us get on the fifth dimension bandwagon, the world as we know it will right itself, and the nonsense we have been used to will finally come to an end. As I have seen no radical changes thus far, I’m not holding my breath.

The fifth dimension, for those who haven’t heard of it, is a universal shift of energy from the problems of living in the energy of our 3D world. It is a higher vibration that allows love and other wonderful energies to take precedence in our world, society, lives, and souls. It is all of us together, energetically rising up to meet the greater versions of ourselves and others. Theoretically, it would mean a greater alignment for us all. No more wars, famine, greed, power struggles, etc. We would be entering a time when we are able to truly communicate with extraterrestrial life to receive their assistance to achieve greater things for the good of all humanity.

That’s the general thought/ belief/theory. I’m all for getting our act together, especially regarding health care and food. I believe there is no place on Earth where these two things should be scarce or unobtainable. It would be an astonishing improvement if we could manage these two things.

The point is that I don’t know what that energy shift is going to look like. It may turn out nothing like we expected. That’s the thing about expectations. Once you have them, it’s difficult to let go of them and see what is really there. It can also set us up for disappointment. That is why I have adopted the “wait and see” method. Not because I’m skeptical that the fifth dimension is going to happen. If you look at it from the perspective of quantum physics, it’s already happened. I’m trying not to bend my brain on that thought. For now, I’m doing my own version of maintaining the status quo by keeping my vibration as high as I can on a daily basis and advising those who have asked me about it to do the same. I’m not suggesting that if you feel the change in energy, you fight it to stay as you are. I’m saying that if you feel the shift, go with it. If not, don’t worry about it and carry on as usual.

I’ve met practitioners who have said that regardless of what we might want, the shift into the higher dimension is going to happen, and all of us are going together, even if we’re kicking and screaming against it. Others have said that it’s already happening, but the energy is so subtle that only a select few have noticed the changes that will soon become apparent to everyone, and by then, we will all be vibrating at that higher level. True believers and elitists. You would think that if they shifted into the higher dimensions, they would have dropped that crap, right? This is why I’m maintaining the status quo. That doesn’t mean I haven’t noticed changes, but I don’t know if that is just the march of energy evolution doing what it does to keep us moving forward or if it is the great migration of the fifth dimension. The answer changes depending on who you’re talking to. The only one who can answer the question for you is you.

Then there is the next obvious question: what happened to the fourth dimension? I asked that question of people who were supposedly “in the know.” I got blank looks and silence in response. Thus far, no one has given me a sufficient answer as to why we should jump from three to five. Is it an exponential jump? If so, why five and not six? There are geometric figures that have several dimensional planes. Could we have jumped to dimension ten? I’m being a smart ass because I honestly don’t understand all of it. I guess this is a question we will all have to contemplate at one time or another on our spiritual journey. What I do understand is that life goes on. Bills have to be paid, children need to be fed, and dogs need to be walked. Is it possible that we have experienced the dawning of the age of Aquarius and are already aligned for the fifth dimension?
