Postulate 7 - The Three States of Consciousness: Consciousness exists in only three discrete and dimensionally distinct states:
- 0D Living Consciousness, the point-like, dimensionless origin of subjective experience during biological life; an indivisible "self" localized in the present moment, confined to the body and bound by time.
- 3D OBE Consciousness, the spatially expanded awareness occurring during out-of-body experiences; a temporary detachment from the body in which consciousness expands into three-dimensional space while still tethered to temporal flow.
- 4D Afterlife Consciousness, the final, untethered state of awareness beyond death, where the 0D self is changed into four-dimensional space-time; this state allows total access to all memory, information, and experience across time, forming a self-sustained, eternal conscious universe.
Corollary:
No other state of consciousness exists outside these three. All spiritual, cognitive, or perceptual phenomena are expressions or transitions within this dimensional framework.
Consciousness, is not a continuous or infinitely variable phenomenon, but a discrete set of dimensional states. These states are not metaphorical; they are geometric and physical, representing the structure of awareness relative to space and time. According to this model, consciousness can exist in three states: 0D living consciousness, 3D OBE consciousness, and 4D afterlife consciousness. Each state is defined by its dimensional properties, the experience it supports, and its relationship to space and time.
This theory proposes a foundational postulate:
Consciousness can only exists in one of three states - zero-dimensional (0D), three-dimensional (3D), or four-dimensional (4D). These three modes define the only forms through which conscious awareness can manifest.
The first state is 0D Living Consciousness, the form of awareness experienced during biological life. In this state, consciousness is a single, indivisible point - dimensionless, yet fully aware of itself. It is localized entirely within the body and bound to a linear progression of time. It cannot move spatially on its own but perceives the three-dimensional world through sensory input. The 0D self is the observer trapped within the present moment, generating a personal timeline through a sequence of remembered experiences. This state defines human identity and experience.
The second state is 3D OBE (Out-of-Body Experience) Consciousness, a transitional or temporary state where the 0D point of consciousness detaches from the body and expands into three-dimensional space. In this state, the conscious self retains individual identity but is no longer confined to the physical senses. It gains a spatial presence - floating, flying, or observing events from a distance. Time continues to flow forward, but the relationship between self and space is altered. OBEs offer a glimpse into consciousness untethered by physical constraints, suggesting that awareness is not strictly biological but can exist independently in dimensional space. Consciousness transitioning to this state is rare. It only happens to about 2 percent of the population. Consciousness expanding into its 3D state only lasts for seconds, not minutes, reverting back to state one.
The final and most advanced state is 4D Afterlife Consciousness. This is the culmination of the dimensional shift that begins at death. Here, the 0D point of consciousness expands not just into space, but also into time. The self becomes coexistent with all moments of its own timeline, allowing total perception across past, and the ability to explore a personalized conscious universe. This state is no longer linear, fragmented, or sensory-bound. It is a geometric and informational totality - eternity experienced from within. Death, in this model, is not a cessation, but a transformation into a four-dimensional state of consciousness.
By defining consciousness through these three states - 0D, 3D, and 4D - Afterlife Theory provides a coherent, geometric model for understanding the transitions of conscious existence. This dimensional model bypasses traditional metaphysical speculation by rooting the question of life after death in the same mathematical structure that governs space, time, and awareness. If consciousness truly operates as a dimensional phenomenon, then death is not an end - but a final transformation.
In conclusion, the Afterlife Theory asserts that consciousness can exist in only three states. These are not arbitrary labels, but structural phases defined by their dimensional context. All phenomena of awareness - from waking life to near-death experiences - fall within this schema. It offers a new lens to understand existence, suggesting that the afterlife is not mystical or imagined, but a real, higher-dimensional state of the same self that begins as a point and ends as a universe.
