In the case of the dwindling world oil supply, the facts are well known that this energy resource is hopelessly limited. It is also fully known that advanced technologies in oil production can bridge the developing shortfall only for a season. The problem that endangers humanity in the long run is the kind of apathy by which mankind refuses to live in the real world, by which it refuses to acknowledge the existing link between science and infinity which links human development with the reflective structure of the fourth dimension, of Spirit.
Rather than addressing the developing energy shortfall in a timely fashion, the world is filled with hysteric cries, today, from environmental organizations that literally scare humanity into committing itself to a long cold winter of energy deficient existence. On this unnatural platform of artificially engineered poverty the advanced energy systems for the future simply cannot be developed and the existing systems are fast becoming destroyed.
For instance, the Global Warming advocates proclaim that fossil fuel generated CO2 gases, if our present type of energy production were to continue, would raise the world's temperature by 3 degrees over the next hundred years, which would melt the polar ice caps, raise the ocean levels by several meters, and flood all low lying areas around the world. Now, what insanity drives this kind of science? Let us assume that the warming prediction are true, (which they are not, as there exists no substantiating long term evidence for it) would such warming imply a catastrophe? Certainly not. If the last 100 years of the world's industrial revolution have not produced any measurable global warming, another 30 years of the same won't alter the global picture. Indeed, mankind should count itself lucky if the world's fossil fuels last that long. They certainly won't last for centuries upon centuries as the scare stories would have it. While there exists no evidence in support of the Global Warming mythology, there exists substantial evidence that a global cooling trend has begun. In fact, the world is facing the onset of another ice age. The end of present 11,000 year interglacial period is theoretically already overdue. The phase change of the global thermal system may have already begun.
The reason that fundamental scientific facts are pushed into the background to be overruled by mythologies, etc., reflects the declining dimension of science in human existence. Science has been reduced to the cruder dimension where truth becomes displaced by mythology, by which the higher dimensions have become lost.
The calling card of today's prevailing (wrongly called) science is, that it is getting more absurd, and more deadly for humanity, while the various power brokers that drive the devolution of science profit from the game. It is obvious that the higher dimensions of reality must be explored with the most dedicated devotion to the truth, by which all lower dimensions become more meaningful and productive for mankind.
Dante had made a pioneering attempt to change a similar trend at his time. He focused on a higher dimension than that which was recognized at his time, a dimension that exists above the conventional. We find this exploration documented in his work "Paradiso" which is the final part of his trilogy the "Commedia" or "Divine Comedy." This part is also the most metaphoric of the three. In this work Dante speaks about the "music of the spheres," and, then, explores such dimensions as love, honor, truth, justice, beauty, and light. He made a brave attempt at exploring the higher dimension of reality that he understood to exist, and it was, he went quite far with it. He hinted at the fact that the true definition of what may be termed the "fourth dimension, of Spirit," must be found in life and through love.
Dante also pioneered the idea that one can profitably explore this higher dimension and determine to a large extend what the fundamental nature of this higher dimension must be. Nonetheless, his explorations were but a faint beginning compared to what developed along this line 650 years later through the discoveries by Mary Baker Eddy.
