Welcome to The Human Melody: An exploration of life.
Dimensions of Life
It’s not exactly a revelation to say we’re multi-dimensional. There are likely few people alive who would disagree. The real questions are what are those dimensions, and what do they tell us about who we are. This is an attempt to define those various dimensions and to then answer what they tell us about who we are.
| Level | Description |
| Entertainment | The things we do to relax and entertain ourselves. |
| Organization (Politics) | How we organize our society. This is where politics and lots of conflicts take place. |
| Management | This is where we deal with creating careers for ourselves, so we have the resources we need to survive comfortably. |
| Justice | This is where we recognize the importance of fairness in our lives. |
| Spiritual (Religion) | This where we relate to the concept of a higher power, and, more importantly, to the feelings of warmth and peace that we get through prayer and meditation. |
| Art & Music | This is another innate level that relates to our artistic creativity and, most importantly, to the rhythmic sensations we get from music. |
| Social | This is where we have a need to love, be loved, and to fit into the world around us. |
| Survival | This is where we meet our basic needs for shelter, clothing, and food. |
It’s important to emphasize that this is just a model, not reality itself. Too many philosophers from time immemorial have confused their models of reality with the real thing, which to me is far too complex to know, at least based on our present-day knowledge.

About
The Human Melody is published by Steve Caswell, a long-time journalist and student of philosophy. It is based upon the fundamental thesis that rather than being simple, life is complex and multi-dimensional. Truth, furthermore, is even more complex.
It’s not we can’t handle the truth. It’s that we almost certainly can’t know it in all of its complexities. Nevertheless, we often think we do and take actions that lead to all sorts of tragedies, many of which are hurtful and even violent.
