When we hit the range beginning at 2-D, the thoughts are associated with setting up an axis of cause and affect. Within this axis one can draw rational drawings, with more complex logical drawing defining higher dimensions.

Just as in art, one can draw 3-D looking objects on a piece of 2-D paper. This is 2.5-D thought and I called it a spatial image. It looks 3-D to the eyes and may require a tactal sense to see through the 3-D illusion. Like in art, 3-d affects are done with shadowing and highlighting. The example I gave were political parties. Both express parts of the truth yet each market themselves as the whole truth. This denial of truth is added to rational drawings to shadow them in to create the 3-D affect. This is quite subtle and may be hard to visualize. They become more obvious when one reaches a thought dimensional reference higher than 2.5-D.

At higher than 2.5-D, denial of truth become depth of understanding. This is the range of the intutitive relief drawings. The third dimension between 2-D and 2.5-D is obtained via rotating the logical plane versus other planes but it can only work one plane at a time. With respect to political parties, each takes a plane perpendicular to the other, with the denial allowing some shadow transfer of another dimension from the other plane.

Above 2.5-D begins to add a real third dimension to a logical plane. This stems from the spatial memory within the right hemisphere. If one would like to witness intutitive relief drawings read Mysterium Coniunctionis by the psycholgist Carl Jung. This is Latin for the mystical union. It addresses symbolism for combining opposites into a whole. It is not purely rational but requires an intutitive cast of mind. That is part of the problem with Jung. He is usually considered too esoteric to be useful. There is truth here, since intutitive relief drawings are often very hard to transfer with just logical relationships, since these need an extra 3rd dimension to be fully grasped.

Let me give an example of an intuitive relief drawing. I am not preaching religion but God is a useful example. To a child God is a name like Jesus, Yewah, Buddha, etc. It is 1-D. As one begins to learn the doctrine of a religion God become closer to 2-D but often remain in the range of prestige and human subjectivity. Many of the sub christian churchs preach theirs as the way, to enhance prestige. The religious adult may also draw spatial images using the limited data set of the bible or by using just certain parts of the bible. The spiritual person goes beyond doctrine and reason and attempts to resolve all the paradoxes of the concept of God. This occurs above 2.5-D and requires intutition.

For example, to a eastern spiritual person God may male and female, large as the universe, yet smaller than a quark. He is good and evil, matter and spirit, now and forever, etc.. Geometrically, one is setting up many conflicting opposite planes at the same time. In the middle of all these opposing planes, intuition adds a 3rd dimension which is difficult to transfer to another with language. Esteric double talk is trying to induce the 3rd dimension in another. The born again feeling is a glimpse of the 3-D memory, within the right hemisphere, created by all the rational planes. This is a very fast and dense memory and may be just a feeling, but often a feelings that carries enough weight of conviction, i..e, the initutive relief drawing is in sight.

I realize this is difficult to see if one is purely rational but is part of the human range of thought dimensions. The hermaphodite is a symbol that combines male and female. To most it is usually seen as simply a male with a tang, or a female with twigs and berries. But at an deeper level, it tries to combine all that is woman with all that is man. It is like trying to combine the feminine charms/beauty of Marilan Monroe with the raw masculine presence of Sean Connery. The hermaphodite, was one such symbol or intuitiive relief drawing. It is much more than what it appears on the surface (2-D) because it has extra depth to it that is buried under the ground, i.e., in an intuitive 3rd dimension.
