SHADOWS

     "The physical universe is a display of pretty colored lights in
the fabric of God." - Adore

     Everyone is familiar with shadows.

     If you place a 3 dimensional object in the light of a 3
dimensional sun, you will get a two dimensional shadow.

     If you place a 2 dimensional object in the light of a 2
dimensional sun, you will get a 1 dimensional shadow.

                       O  <- 2 dimensional sun
               +----+
               |    |     <- 2 dimensional object, a square
               |    |
    ---------- +----+
        ^
        |
     1 dimensional
     shadow

     Shadows are always 1 dimension less than the object that casts
the shadow.

     So if you place a 4 dimensional object in the light of a 4
dimensional sun, you will get a 3 dimensional shadow!

     It has been claimed that the 3 dimensional physical universe and
all its objects is in fact a 3 dimensional shadow cast by the true 4
dimensional universe in the light of the 4 dimensional light of God.

     We are condemned to live in the real 3D shadows of the actual 4D
world until we wake up.
