The Fourth Dimension is only the beginning. We utilize that
to isolate our island. But the higher dimensions are gradually
being conquered, too. Nearly all of us can pass into the Fifth at
will, 'disappearing,' as you have the word, from the lower
dimensions. It is well-known to you that in a land whose people
knew length and breadth, but no _up_ and _down_, an object might
be pushed, but never lifted _up_ or put _down_. If it were to be
lifted, such a people would believe it to have 'disappeared.' So,
from you who know only three dimensions, Yaque has 'disappeared,'
until one of us guides you here. Also we pass at will into the
Fifth Dimension and even higher, and seem to 'disappear'; the only
difference is that, there, we should not be able yet to guide one
who did not himself understand how to pass there. Just as one who
understands how to die and to come to life, as you have the
phrase, would not be able to take with him any one who did not
understand how to take himself there..."
St. George listened, grasping at straws of comprehension,
remembering how he had heard all this theorized about and smiled at;
but most of all he was beset by a practical consideration.
