Shamanism for the Age of Science: Awakening the Energy Body - Kenneth Smith 2018

Multidimensional Reality
Expanding the Boundaries

Scientific evidence, mystical and near-death experiences, along with the many varieties of psi reveal that the daily world isn’t always what it seems to be. These perceptions are rooted in experience, not solely on theoretical propositions concerning what the world is thought to be. To account for these experiences we must view reality as multidimensional, with more facets being revealed all the time. Their utility is governed by how they are spun into one model or another. From one angle, a report of psi is viewed as psychopathology, from another as advanced human potential. The bottom line of these experiences is that humans are capable of being aware of more than what is typically taught.

These perceptions can readily be accounted for as shifts in cohesion. The physical world reflects a particular cohesion, for example, with cultural orientations representing minor variations. These experiences can also pertain to other models such as chakras. A psychic experience may activate the sixth chakra, while a mystical experience brings more to life the seventh chakra. At the same time, the orchestration of all chakra energies forms cohesion. Awareness of other dimensions, then, hinges on the fluency of the energy body and the alignment of internal and external energies.

Integrating these experiences into a baseline state, and into a map of reality, is not different from any other form of learning. The entraining influence sparking the experience could be the desire to induce what is read about in a book, a spontaneous resonance with an emanation, or technologically induced. The accuracy and objectivity of communicating the experience hinge on how well cohesion entrains to the energy field being experienced (the clarity of the event), how well the observer has been educated in the nature of perception, the manner in which the experience is communicated to others, and how well biases are managed by listeners.

My lab experiences at The Monroe Institute revealed to me that we live in a universe where there may well be an infinite number of Earths, each representing minor to major variations in frequency from the others. My epiphany has some grounding in science. According to science writer Marcus Chown, a “many worlds” theory is growing in popularity with physicists “increasingly accepting the idea that there are infinite realities stacked together like the pages of a never-ending book.” Any reality, he maintains, “could be very similar to another or vary in extreme difference.”²⁵

Another theory holds that only one material universe emerges from potential and all other universes remain only as probabilities. Yet another theory maintains that all possibilities are only that, and that it is only by the act of observing, of placing consciousness into motion, that a reality becomes evident.²⁶ Like any well-developed theory, each model provides at least a degree of utility to apply the science behind it, to make some headway in implementing practical outcomes. However, to gain the widest possible angle of vision of reality, the multiple universe theory appears more expansive, more accepting, and provides more accountability.

From an energetic perspective, a reality is a composite of frequencies, with each frequency producing an aspect of cohesion. An ASC is not only a departure from the baseline cohesion but is also the accessing of other frequencies that are part of another baseline. Because of its coherence, the many worlds theory signifies a d-ASC. If new technologies are formed on that basis, it will mean a new baseline is emerging or has emerged, depending on the pervasiveness of the technologies it spawns. The end result would be that what was once alive only in the realm of the unconscious is now conscious.

The progression of what is considered reality reveals this movement of consciousness. Sailors once recoiled from traversing the oceans for fear of falling off a flat earth; Galileo put forth mathematical proof that Earth revolved around the Sun; a three-dimensional world gave way to a view incorporating time as a fourth or perhaps a fifth dimension. Now, in order to unify all known phenomena, a fifth-dimension of hyperspace is giving way to “string theory” involving at least ten dimensions and as many as twenty-six.²⁷

In his popular book, Hyperspace, physics professor Michio Kaku places ghosts and other paranormal experiences in the fourth dimension.²⁸ I would argue that OBEs are also fourth dimensional, as they command greater abilities in relation to our three-dimensional world. Kaku also reveals more about dimensionality by shedding light on why extra-dimensional activity is mind-boggling to those living in the lower dimensions. A three-dimensional creature can’t directly see the fourth dimension, due to its inherent limitations. It will perceive the fourth dimension only in terms it can comprehend.

A quick review of your life will demonstrate that you live each day in many dimensions, in that you have many roles such as being professional, father or mother, son or daughter, friend, musician, artist, and so on. Plus, within your anatomy is the multidimensionality of the chakras. Then add the vertical and horizontal partitions of the brain, other physical systems, meridians, nadis, energy body, and so forth. If you also expand the three-dimensional model of reality to include ten or more dimensions, add a possible afterlife, other intelligent beings, other worlds, and so forth, it is not very difficult to imagine that we live in a multidimensional reality. And there may well be an infinite number of them.
