Understanding What The Astral Plane Is (A Scientific Viewpoint) [View All]

[Popol Vuh]

In the last few decades science has become aware of the serious limitations of human visual perception. The human eye is sensitive to only a narrow band of radiation. We see only the wavelength between .00007cm and .00004cm; the rest of the electromagnetic wave spectrum remains invisible to us. In fact, only a few one-hundred-thousandths of a centimeter make the difference between visibility and invisibility. Yet all of us are literally swimming in a sea of energy, immersed in a ocean of electromagnetic waves: gamma rays, X rays, ultraviolet and infrared rays, microwaves, radio waves, and shortwaves, to name just a few.

When we feel the heat of the sun, for example, we are feeling the result of invisible infrared rays; their wavelength is a little too long for our retina to detect even though our skin will register the rays as heat.

In effect, our perception of the universe is based upon only a tiny fraction of the energy around us. Even more shocking is the recognition that our current scientific technology detects only a portion of the entire energy spectrum. Most scientists believe that the electromagnetic wave spectrum continues far beyond our technological vision and possibly into infinity.

When we put this into perspective, we recognize that each of us is visually aware of only three-one-hundred-thousandths (.00003) of a centimeter of the energy radiation around us. We, who see so little of the universe, are quick to reach conclusions and judgments based upon the narrow limits of our vision. Our perspective of the universe, and of reality itself, is severely limited by the narrow range of our physical senses.

When we look around, we see a world of solid objects. On the surface, reality appears to consist of three-dimensional form and substance. Yet, as science explores deeper into the unseen heart of matter, remarkable discoveries are being made. Einstein's famous equation E=MC² tells us that matter is nothing more than a form of energy---in a sense, stored energy temporarily molded to construct the physical objects around us.

Once we recognize that all matter is actually energy, we can begin to realize that our surroundings are not completely what they seem. Quantum theorists no longer consider energy to be particle like in nature. Subatomic particles are no longer viewed as static things but as four-dimensional entities in space-time. In fact, the elemental particles of our reality (quarks and so on) are no longer considered substance at all. When physicists observe elemental particles, they describe them as dynamic patterns, constantly moving and changing into one another. Quantum mechanics has shown us that the elemental building blocks of our reality are not material but are patterns of energy.

Quantum physics has proved that our current physical concepts of form and substance are obsolete; not only is matter energy, but all energy is essentially nonphysical in nature.

When we examine the evolution of science over the last few decades, we see a growing body of evidence supporting the multidimensional structure of matter and the universe (string theory demands it). And the latest discoveries of quantum physics provide numerous examples. Also significant is the growing number of physicists, and astrophysicists who believe in the existence of parallel universes. When we look at history, we see that the idea of heaven or nonphysical universes is one of the oldest and most widely held beliefs of humanity. The concept of heaven appears in every culture and religion.

The Jewish and Christian religions teach the existence of three universes or dimensions: the physical world, heaven, and hell. Catholicism added a fourth with the concept of purgatory. In the Koran, Mohammed speaks of seven heavens or universes. When we examine religions and cultures around the world, the concept of unseen heavens or universes of energy is without a doubt the most universal belief of humanity. Today practically every religion and culture has incorporated this concept. Even though this is likely the most widely held theory in human history, verifiable evidence concerning the unseen heavens continues to elude humankind. Out-of-body exploration (astral projection) provides powerful personal verification that the religious "heavens" described in the scriptures of your religion actually do exist. Firsthand exploration have proved that the biblical heavens are in reality the unseen energy environments that make up the multidimensional universe.

At this point it is important for me to point-out that matter in the nonphysical universes (the astral plane) is extremely sensitive to thoughts and its the collective thoughts of millions of people (none physical people) who create their heaven. So yes, their is more than one heaven, and yes their is a hell. But there are also many other existences in the astral plane -- one other being the nonphysical part of our own physical universe. On that note I should point out that our physical universe is just the thin crust of the multitude of nonphysical dimensions.

As scientists continue to focus on external matter, another group of people are bypassing the traditional scientific methods of our current technological evolution and expanded human explorations into undiscovered areas of the universe. This is being achieved by incorporating self-controlled nonphysical explorations (astral projection) into the unseen substructure of the universe. The discoveries made during these nonphysical explorations provide revolutionary new insights into the unseen structure of the universe, our existence, and our continuation after death.

Based on out-of-body observations, all energy dimensions exist here and now. The seen and unseen universe is a continuum of energy frequencies. Each dimension exists independently according to its individual frequency, yet they are all linked by the flow of nonphysical energy. Each dimension of energy is interconnected with its energy neighbors to form a complete system---the multidimensional universe.

Each dimension encountered after we shed the physical body is progressively less dense in its vibrational substance. In effect, the universe can be compared with an energy wave spectrum. All the energy dimensions exist simultaneously within the same space-time continuum. For example, when I'm out-of-body I can occupy the same space as a physical wall or ceiling. I'm not separated from the physical wall by distance or time but rather by my individual energy frequency. During an out-of-body or near-death experience, we transfer our conscious awareness from our physical body to our higher frequency nonphysical body -- when our physical body dies our higher frequency body is instantly severed from the physical body.

One thing is certain. Decades of nonphysical explorations and millions of near-death experiences consistently point to a single conclusion: the direct substructure of the physical universe is a subtle form of energy undetectable by our current physical technology. This unseen energy is highly organized, structured, and supportive of the outer physical universe. The incredible amount of interdependence existing between the unseen, nonphysical dimensions and the outer physical crust of the universe points to a much more complex system of energy than modern technology and science are currently able to observe.

When we recognize the multidimensional structure of the universe, we realize that physical observation alone are inadequate. The galaxies and matter we observe around us are not the entire universe, as we assume, but only the dense outer dimension or molecular crust of the complete universe. The volume of the visible universe amounts to perhaps less than one-tenth of one percent of the multidimensional universe. Clearly, any scientific conclusion or theory based entirely upon observation of matter is built upon incomplete data. Each new nonphysical exploration into the interior of the universe substantiates this observation. Ask any of the millions of people who have had a near-death or out-of-body experience and they will agree: the universe is far more expansive and complicated than current physical science can even begin to comprehend or explain. As millions of people every year have out-of-body and near-death experiences, the reality of the multidimensional universe and its energy reactions will be recognized as observable fact.
