There’s a lot of buzz surrounding a new book out there called Imagining The 10th Dimension. Singer / songwriter, thinker, philosopher and amateur scientist (although he insists he’s not a scientist!) has pieced together a means of actually explaining a way to understand the idea of not just 4 or 5 dimensions, but 10. (10 dimensions is the magic number lately since String Theory posits there are 10 dimensions.) His animation explaining the 10 dimensions has been widely viewed on the internet and has propelled his book to the spotlight. His book was recently the subject of an article in What is Enlightenment magazine.
Rob was kind enough to chat with me via email and answer some questions I had after reading the book and that’s what I’m here to bring you today.

Part 1 : An Interview with Rob Bryanton of Imagining the 10th Dimension - the book and the animation

Can you give us a little background into how you wrote this book and came up with the ideas presented within its pages? Is it possible to give us a summary of your main ideas?
The basic idea is something I started to believe as a child – that the other realities that could have existed based upon alternate actions and chance do actually exist – I pictured my life like one of those dandelions gone to seed, with the straight stalk representing the now-locked in past, the base of the flower representing me, and all of those slender lines blooming out from there representing possible futures. Selecting one of those lines then, was like zooming in, where the one line now became part of my past and a new bloom appeared ahead of me – a very fractal, enfolding sort of an image.
Part 2 : An Interview with Rob Bryanton of Imagining the 10th Dimension - What the Bleep style thinking & the Bicameral Mind

There’s a meme of growing popularity, largely due to the success of the film What the Bleep Do We Know, that can be summed like this:
We create reality through conscious observation. What we choose to think, decide, and observe has a literal input into the creation of the reality around us.
You write on page 64 that “we are doing more than just “throwing the dice” as quantum observers, and in fact each of us are actively influencing the outcome through the choices we make.”
To what extent can this idea be taken that we create our own reality? Is this a meaningful perspective to have over how we live our lives or is it an idea that only applies at the quantum level and not in our day to day living?
With the popularity of “The Secret” now, the whole “thoughts become things” movement (which has been around for many years) appears to have gathered new steam. I would describe the Secret as being a very simple and direct version of the What the Bleep ideas.

Let me quote the following paragraph from page 122:
“Regardless of the position that mainstream science takes on the topic, a huge percentage of the general population have had personal experiences which show them that the idea of reading minds, “catching vibes”, supernatural connections to dead loved ones, or even just the positive effects of talking to their houseplants has a direct connection to their feeling of how the world really works.”
