Our time is really motion through extradimensional space, August 29, 2003
This is one of those great Books that has suffered because of a lack of readership capable of comprehending it. If one has the left brain traits necessary to grasp the transfinite logic and mathematics, then the mystical implications are ungraspable. And if you have the right brain intuition to understand the mystical implications, then you often struggle with the logic and mathematics. This book requires a reader with not only a first rate mind, but also a balanced one.To briefly abstract the primary thesis: time is really motion in extra dimensional space. This is profound, for Ouspensky was the first to actually point towards where an actual, physical fourth dimension can be found. Our brains confuse this dimension with time. It can be split off from time with an adjustment, or evolution, of consciousness. You see, this represents the next huge leap in understanding the nature of the universe and reality. Just as Newton's undefined quantity of "gravity" was shown to actually be curved space, so does Ouspensky show Einstein's undefined quantity of "time" to be motion through higher physical dimensions. If you want a book that will challenge you, this is it. One day these ideas are going to shake the very foundations of mainstream science, of mankind's collective view of "reality"....

A Sublime Tour-de-force, November 15, 2001
Ouspensky brings together many of the most extraordinary facets of Relativity Theory, Kantian philosophy, Eastern mysticism, Western spiritual traditions, ways of looking at the symbolism of art and ordinary life, and powerful revelations from mathematics. In this book, he is a master of using images, metaphors, and analogies to help free the mind, opening the intuition to amazing areas of wonder. The suggestive power of many of the ideas in Tertium Organum are at a breath-taking level. I especially recommend this book to anyone who has an abiding love of Philosophy, Religion, Science, and Art.

Excellent reading for higher dimensional truths, May 23, 2002
P.D. Ouspensky lucidly and along definite philosophical reasonings guides the reader from our 3-dimensional world to higher dimensional realities. As humans we perceive the "World" not as it is, but rather as our perceptive faculties communicate it to us. Therein lies the difficulty of comprehending higher orders (our own hard wiring). Ouspensky's greatness is his ability to elucidate higher truths by straightforward analogy and reasoning. The author marries the ideas and teachings of many great thinkers into one multifaceted format. Mystical teachings are explained from a scientific slant and revolutionary scientific Ideas lead to a mystical end. The ultimate aim is to lead the reader to the ultimate truth of "THOU ART THAT" or "I AM".
