This is a book by John Violette.
Before going further, please note that this book is written with an average reader in mind. No special scientific or mathematical knowledge is required.
Basically, the author's contention is that we actually live in a universe with 4 spacial dimensions, and what we perceive as time is motion in extra (fourth) dimensional space. In our present, usual state of consciousness, we cannot perceive this 4th spacial dimension, but, if our consciousness expands, the 4th spacial dimension is extracted from what we ordinarily perceive as time.
For this to make sense, the author explains by analogy to beings living in one and two dimensional worlds interacting with two and three dimensional worlds, respectively. The book, Flatland by Abbott, explains this in more detail, and it may be helpful to read this short, but interesting work before tackling Violette's book.
From his basic contention of an extra (fourth) spacial dimension, which also leads to a different time concept, the author takes the mystery out of the mystical experience, psychic phenomenon, UFO's (including abductions) and life after death. He notes how people who have experienced these phenomenon describe them in very similar ways; the 4th spacial dimension seems to be in the inside out direction. Their consciousness expands, at least temporarily, and they then can see this 4th spacial dimension, and the world they came from is a small part of the new world they enter.
The book concludes with a chapter on extra dimensional theory and the new physics - quantum theory, string theory etc. It is written so that an average reader can understand, so don't panic if science is not your forte. Very interesting how this all fits together, and there is plenty weirdness here to keep readers entertained and get them thinking at the same time.
I thought the book was a little unclear here and there and could have been shortened in parts to make for better flow. I still highly recommend it, since the subject matter is so interesting.
