2. Plato Revisited
Plato lived about 24 centuries ago in the region we now call
Greece. Perhaps his best-known legacy is the Allegory of
the Cave.
In Plato’s cave, chained prisoners believe that the projected shadows
are real forms. They cannot see how the objects held in front of
the fire project black shapes on the cave wall. In their world, only
shadows exist. They only know World No. 3, the Shadow World.
However, the overall reality is much larger than this.
In this, introductory chapter, we saw the outline of the process of
Creation, that resulted in our present-day, three-dimensional reality.
The next chapters will elaborate on this in more details.

Before the galanty show of the Shadow World, there is World No. 2.
This is the Flow World. Because of the flowing nature of everything
in World No. 2, everything in the projected Shadow World (No. 3.)
also flows. About one century before Plato, Heraclitus summarized
this with his famous words “panta rhei”. The continuous flow in the
second or inner world causes the perpetual movement of the manifested
shadows in the third or outer world.
