Well, thinking occurs in the brain. We think because of (dumbed down because I'm not a neuroscientist) electric impulses travelling through our brain. Electric impulses are the result of electricity. Electricity is caused by electrons. Electrons exist in three dimensions (but are, as far as we can tell, one dimensional points). By that logic I propose that thinking is "three dimensional" if you had to quantize it. Same goes for consciousness...to be conscious one needs to have a functioning brain and the same rules apply.
We can think too. What dimensions would thinking or existing fall under?
Or does everything have to fall under one dimension or another?

My first guess would be that God has infinite dimensions. However, there may be ways for Him to be even more omniscient, and there are different orders of infinity...

RQ wrote:A lower dimensional space does not exist with respect to a higher one. We can only exist with respect to ourselves. Your analogy is false however it is true that there must be a 4th dimension since our universe's shape is curved into it.

To start with were you ended, who said that you live here only for a few years? I don't beleive so, cos life itself has been here for a long time already, and it's been observed, by creatures like you and me.
What if you were a different form of the past (and future) observers?
For the rest, according talking about dimensions, I think it's best to lose the mathematical concept of them, and forget thins like axises, cos those exist in 3 dimensions, and not necesarily in 5...
You wonder what a brain can do with 2 extra axis, and state thought can happen in 1 dimension. Ever seen a 1-dimensional brain? I didn't.
I think the whole dimensional concept is bound to the 3rd dimension, just because we stated it so. Further dimensions then the one of our consience, are far more abstract then this one. As I go on typing, i notice that I won't be able to explain to you what I wanted to say, so i might aswell stop.
Only last thing, is that I think there is no actual boundary between dimensions, it's just a way for us to structurise this ocean of chaos we live in.
