This goes along with my thinking, as well. And as the little bits that we call our body are all also conscious minds, though little, they have their thoughts and dreams, too. Our self-awareness is focused on our governing unit of consciousness, which is a combination of the primordial consciousness fractal that knows ALL, and our ego, which is a by-product of our overall aggregated body parts all looking out for numero uno. The governing unit of consciousness, "spirit," reaches out to others in a selfless way to contribute to the overall universal consciousness, whereas the ego is me-centered and its job is to watch out for me, me, me. I like to think of myself as a giant hierarchical structure composed of countless little units of consciousness all working to keep "me" alive and functioning. I call it "Whoville," or "Meat Mountain." Consciousness is inherent in all of Whoville's bits, and they lead their own tiny lives not much differently than we live ours, but on fractally smaller scales. Ego, on the other hand, is an artifact of the aggregate of the entire structure of Whoville, that's why it seems to operate somewhat out of our personal control, even though it seems very personal. Ego doesn't care about others; only me and Whoville.
Hypermagda,
We experience the time/space dimension because it is a real possibility in the realm of mind. Mind can conceive of it and it can, therefore, be created by us. It is part of the totality. Therefore, we, being mind (not having mind, but being mind) experience the very real time/space dimension as part of the totality of potential experiences available to entities of the human consciousness mold.
No one/nothing is putting us here or forcing us here or using us here. We are here because it is part of our over all mind. We'd be incomplete if we didn't experience this. We experience other types of consciousness/reality as well. We are experiencing them now; only our ego mind that dwells in time/space/material isn't paying attention to the other realms we exist in. It could and does for some people. It's all a matter of focus.
