"Three large pillars support the structure of these Laws I teach. The first pillar is the vast system of God's Laws, including the universal Truths that govern all aspects of our lives. The seconds is the doctrine of time, which describes the roles and accomplishments of the Divine Spirits-angels, bodhisattvas, and tathagatas-that lived on Earth during the several thousand years of our recent history. The third pillar is the doctrine of space, which reveals a detailed description of the multidimensional structure of the other world, the world of our afterlife." Ryuho Okawa, Preface to __The Nine Dimensions__
