In the beginning there lies nothingness. Then the all mighty God comes and creates the earth. God sees that the world is tedious so he creates the many dimensions that people sees today in the world. Many of those dimensions would lead to the different perspectives that living being beings such as humans and animals would view. In every one of the living beings, there is an individual zone of perception.
   It is a cold morning in December. A boy wearing a winter jacket and carrying a backpack on his back comes walking out from the school bus and slowly to the front entrance doors of school. As he is walking, he thinks about what he is about to say to the lovely girl in standing in front of school. From the point he is standing at, he judges the distance between the girl and him about a few minutes apart. From the passing by people, their zone of perception in relating to their distances is much farther. Therefore the boy own zone of perception is telling him that the girl is right in front of him. In truth, right now he is spilling all his love to a chestnut tree.
   In another part of the world, there is a dog and his owner taking a stroll in the city. There is a bakery store just about two blocks from them. The dog takes a deep breath and he smells the bread. He picks up his walking pace. Now when the owner inhales the oxygen in the air, he just breathes the air. Could this possible be that they are in different positions in space since their zone of sensing is different?
   Most people are living on a complex world. The earth is made of many dimensions. People are situated in many dimensions. These different worlds leads to a person's own zone of viewpoint.
