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
EntertainmentThe 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.
ManagementThis is where we deal with creating careers for ourselves, so we have the resources we need to survive comfortably.
JusticeThis 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 & MusicThis is another innate level that relates to our artistic creativity and, most importantly, to the rhythmic sensations we get from music.
SocialThis is where we have a need to love, be loved, and to fit into the world around us.
SurvivalThis 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.
