Connections and syncrocities happen to us every day. There are deeper levels of the consciousness than anyone can imagine..I think they deserve some exploration too
(a) Quantum physicists, using Super-String Theory, believe the universe is made up of 10 or 11 dimensions. Their goal is to find the holy grail of physics - the so-called "Theory of Everything" - a theory that explains all phenomena of reality.
(b)
Pythagoras, perhaps the first great mathematician, believed the cosmos is divided into 10 heavens based on the perfect number.
(c)
In Jewish mysticism, God's entire creation is composed of 10 emanations of Light from the 10 utterances of God "Let there be" to create the world by the perfect order of 10 along with with a hierarchy of 10 angelic realms and the law of the 10 commandments.
(d)
In Buddhism, there are 10 levels of realization toward enlightenment and 10 directions of the Buddha's light to Buddha-realms.
(e)
Christian Gnostics believed in a cosmology of 10 heavens which they based on information from the death experience of the Apostle Paul which they recorded in their scriptures (Apocalypse of Paul).
(f )
In Islam, a legend exists where Muhammad journeyed through 10 heavens which was probably a near-death experience.
(g)
The Biblical prophet Enoch in his writings (2 Enoch) mentions that he ascended through the 10 heavens.
(h)
The word human comes from the Hindu word hu which means light, and man which means mind. In Hinduism, there are 10 levels of universal consciousness.
(i )
The Bible describes an angelic hierarchy of 10 celestial powers (01) (02).
(j )
Edgar Cayce learned from his out-of-body travels that our solar system's 10 major spheres are physical representations of the 10 realms in the afterlife hierarchy of which the human body is a microcosm.
(k)
The Apostle Paul equated the different degrees of glory of resurrected bodies with the sun, moon and stars. Throughout the Bible, there are references to multiple realms: third heaven, the highest heavens, heavens, and many dwelling places.
(l )
During Lynnclaire Dennis' NDE, she entered into the light and saw the Universal Pattern and Source of all life which was in a shape that resembles an atom with electrons revolving around it. Her pattern eventually caught the eye of scientists because of its compatibility with the knotted pattern of 10-dimensional space in physics.
(m)
Other experiencers, such as George Ritchie and Betty Eadie, as well as the Swedish scientist Emanuel Swedenborg, each observed multiple levels in the hereafter. Howard Storm had an extensive experience in which he also observed multiple levels in the afterlife. Dr. PMH Atwater describes these multiple dimensions as existing here within the same space much like boxes within a box. Metaphysical sources also describe a multi-dimensional reality.
There are several conclusions to make here:
(a)
Heaven is not up. Hell is not below.
(b)
We are living in the afterlife right now because our physical universe is but one of many heavenly realms.
(c)
We don't have to wait until we die to experience the afterlife and eternity. Eternity is not something that begins after we die. We are in it now.
