If extra dimensions of space and time exist and are discovered as a result of investigation of super-string and M-Theory then it is also possible that human consciousness may one day be trained perhaps with technical assistance to perceive the extra dimensions of space and time. Human beings presently perceive the manifest four dimensions of space and time with some training of one's subjective understanding. The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer pointed out that Kant's idea that the noumenal realm of objects gives representations that are perceived directly by human consciousness without some sort of transformation by an automatically functioning human understanding is wrong. The external or 'empirical world' of reality provides sense data that is structured by the human mind into three dimensional images and with motion also; time.

Schopenhauer pointed out that blind people receiving their sight late in life may perceive the visual world of objects one-dimensionally until their 'understanding' breaks through to give them a three dimensional picture and one of time and it's motions of objects. An equivalent transformation could theoretically take place when extra dimensions are transitioned in some way technically in both a physical and psychological evolution.

An October 13, 2007 article in NewScience reported the work of physicist Itzhak Bars in developing the theory of a five or six dimension universe with two dimensions of time. The extra dimension of time in his paradigm would not be noticeable in the four dimensions of this 'shadow' universe that from our perspective has an extra 'hidden' dimension of time and maybe another of space.

Perhaps there are extra existing pathways across space time that will become apparent. Yet humanity is posed on the brink of environmentally induced self-destruction perhaps so it may not have the time anyway...c'est la vie regard to trans-national corporations and environmental havoc-if their isn't a profit in it it cannot matter and must be communist goes the 'reasoning'.

The idea that consciousness exists 'at the purest point of connection between 'space and time' is an interesting notion. Consciousness would perhaps then be that 'purest point'. If one uses such a concept it should be a moral description of consciousness instead of another physical or substantive description-for one has introduced a third element into the equation or scenario that I am not sure exists; a spiritual or conscious reality apart
