The Paradigm

There are 11 Dimensions of physical reality, 7 levels of Heaven and One Ultimate Reality. 

Starting with dimension One = Space - Space is a specific frequency of energy, within space there are three directions  breadth, width and height since there is never less than three directions, I count this as one dimension of physical reality. Within abstract math there is reference to a point, a line and a plane as dimensions prior to the 3D cube, but these concepts do not in fact exist as anything other than a concept. As science increases its ability to reduce matter to its basic elements, this understanding is becoming more evident and widely accepted.

Now it starts to get confusing because mathematicians and scientist have been using this word "dimension" to understand reality and make the equations work. This word dimension is for a grade school discussion, I prefer to follow Einstein's lead and use the word Energy or distinct Energy Quality" or EQ which is better but still not all the way there yet. E=MC2 Energy equals Mass times the speed of light. Einstein is right to equate Energy to mass but mass is not the only energy of reality. Einstein realized this and tried to include time as equating to energy by also including the speed of light to represent the purest element of time and he sought to make time a constant. The basic premise that the physical universe is a constant was an incorrect assumption and he spent the rest of his life trying to figure it out. Time is a very real part of our experience of reality but trying to pin time down to put it into an equation is tricky. Time also has three directions, past, present and future. The only part of time that we can effect from standard physical reality, is the present. Now, I am not sure how long the exact durations of now is, but I expect it is shorter for a hummingbird than a human. Time is a second Dimension or quality of the energy of physical reality.  The additional 9 distinct energy qualities will be discussed at length in my book if I ever get around to it.

Standard physical reality is only one of the three distinct realties that I have observed. I have also heard physical reality referred to as "phenomenal reality" and I like it, but it is a little too ambiguous for what I am discussing here. For this discussion there is physical reality (PR,) higher reality(HR) and ultimate reality (UR). Higher reality refers to what is traditionally understood to be heaven and hell and other similar concepts, sometimes called inter-dimensional, extra dimensional or hyper-dimensional. There is not really any well established jargon for discussing higher reality so I will do the best I can. Within higher reality there are also distinct qualities of energy. The biggest difference is that matter and physicality is not one of the energies of higher reality, however some of the attributes of physicality do exist in higher realty. There are several energy qualities that exist in higher reality and physical reality and can transition between the two realities. The energy of consciousness is one of those such energies. The attributes of physical sensations persist in the higher reality. There is also expanded levels of perceptions and sensation. It is commonly reported that higher reality is more real than physical reality. Reports include more range of colors, sounds that do not occur in the physical, a level of awareness or consciousness that exceeds that of current physical reality.

As I move to discuss the levels of higher reality I will be using terms that imply space like "level" but once one transitions out of physical reality space as we understand it here does not exist in the physical but as our consciousness holds on to its mental constructs it creates a spatial like experience. Within higher reality, spatial terms should be understood as metaphors. From level 1 HR to level 3 HR an individual returns may report spaces or places that they experienced however if one transcends to level 4 to 7 one gains perspective and omniscience. A cognition of knowledge and wisdom and information that cannot be reduced to any human's physical ability to understand however intelligent, this is what very many report and what I experienced. All levels of higher reality are beyond space and time. The experience is place without space and sequential and concurrent events without time. 

Levels of Higher Reality

Level One = Weigh station. It is very like earth however unpopulated but for key players. Sometimes the grey place. Experiences and appearance varies greatly.

Level Two = AKA Heaven II or Hell. It is still a lot like earth but can also appear like a empty black lonely space (this is not the "void") like a cave or basement or just blank, this area seems to be unique to each person with a few commonalities. Scarcely or heavily populated. Populated areas sometimes include "creatures that cannot be imagined"  my personal experience of this realm is that it has areas that are heavily populated with all variant beings, from Archangels to demons and lost souls, some are benevolent and some are malevolent or appear to be so. In the higher reality, eventually one learns that the experience is self created and once that is understood the next level is experienced. Many people skip right over this level.

Level Three = Classical Heaven depends a lot on your culture reports are from gardens the pearly gates Divine White Light, Infinite indescribable Love, Deep peace. Questions and answers you get what you need to know. Life review. Loved ones who have passed. This level is also sometimes skipped.

Level Four = Omniscience, Oneness. This can be experienced concurrently with level 3 and above. 

Level 5-7 various experiences of the infinite. These levels are where Divine beings of various kinds emanate and reside. Saints, Angels, Avatars, Spirit Guides, and many more non physical beings.

Ultimate Reality = The "void"  I like to call it "the vast." Exponentially intense LOVE! Pure energy prior to actualization.  One! Consciousness remains. This is where words fail. This experience so exceeds the limits of physicality, the reduction to a single concept or word is an injustice.  Here is a feeble comparison, If you take all the knowledge and information and beings and thoughts and events of all time, past, present and future, and all of the physical universe and all of heaven and say that is the Ultimate Reality then the entire physical universe is only one fleeting thought.

Transcendence is when the boundaries between these levels of reality are traversed by our consciousness and we remember our true self.

As a physical human, we have a body/brain, ego/psyche, as a being of higher reality we have an identity/mind, as a being of ultimate reality we have an "I AM consciousness"  With our boundaries intact our identity and I AM consciousness are stifled by our ego constraints and brain limitations. It is our identity/mind that retains memory of our past, future and in-between lives.  

This is the paradigm as I understand it.
