(Companion to immediately prior posts “Sic Transit” and “Media Star.”)
Here ~ using, again, a classic game show as a model ~ we have a perfect illustration of the soul-choices involved in the theoretical emergence of a fifth dimensional Earth from its current third dimensional shell, which we have been discussing on this site.
Illustrated below we find both that mindset which will assist us in finding ourselves, after separation, on the newly developing level ~ and that which will be continuing on the dying third dimensional shell, absolutely unaware, as we are now, of any of the myriad other levels of existence in our multiverse at all.

The Fourth Door
Whilst I yet through childhood go
I watched a television show
Its prizes one by one reveal
By name of “Let’s Make a Deal”
If you guessed correctly, then
You got to guess, and guess again ~
If you extra accurate were
You got to choose which you’d prefer
Of three huge doors, at very last
There arrayed before you be
Behind which many treasures massed
“Door A,” “Door B,” “Door C”
Protected by one shielding door
Some gag prize waits to disappoint
The other two hide, one, much more
And one, a little. Asked to point
Toward the one which you request
You sweat, you squirm, you think it through
And strain to do your very best
So kismut will be good to you…
Perhaps, presented with a choice
To which its offerers now give
Remarkably similar voice ~
Which happens, sometimes, as we live
My reflex action, first response,
Instinctive move has always been
To pause an habitual nonce
Explore the space those doors between
It has been my experience ~
To offer a redeeming thought
In this strange practice’s defence ~
That by such pause is often brought
The vision of another door
Betwixt those I’m presented by
Two others, sometimes ~ sometimes more
Unseen by a too-focused eye
Upon the lights, and ear the bells
Of the official choices which
To you th’announcer hearty tells ~
None which are really what you wish
(And which the happy audience,
Immersed in the vicarious
Heady, thrilling experience
Acquiring so much of the lustrous
And lauded wealth don’t know:
Unless you can pay half in tax,
Never home with you will go ~
Those are the real-life facts)
The fourth door is the one I choose
Which human service lies behind
Nor rusty objects I may lose:
I make the choice of — being kind
