But the higher we go into them, the more diverse things become. When experiencing what I referred to as the ‘heavens’, I noticed their structure seemed to be formed like an infinite sponge, with one chamber leading to the next, divided only by shifts of awareness rather than space.



Although the diagram shows only five membranes, they are in fact subdivided much more than could be illustrated, whereas in the narrative, I subdivided them into six: physical, Earth-like, intermediate, higher, heaven, and pure reality. Pure reality may yet consist of further subdivisions, which may be beyond reach for man at its present evolutionary stage. Also, different parallel universes become accessible the higher the consciousness rises. Space travel is possible already on the next dimension from Earth because there space can be collapsed, but only for the out-of-body-traveller at present.







To collapse linear time, a still higher dimension is required, and at a lower level only the past can be accessed.







As with any theory, interpretations of my experiences are wide open to debate. After all, mine are the observations of an artist rather than a qualified theoretical scientist or mathematician.







I would be keen to read out-of-body reports from astrophysicists and other scientists. All they need to do to find ‘the answer’ is to pose the question when out of their body and allow the magnetic energy of their desire for knowledge to guide them to the right source.







Recently, when illustrating a book on Deep Space, I became fascinated about the question of the origin of our universe. When out of my body I posed the question of how the universe began. I hoped to become the eyewitness to the Big Bang. To my great surprise I was confronted with four sounds. I know that scientifically sounds are the result of waveforms; but are they really? Could there be another dimension where sound creates wave forms rather than the other way around? And what is sound anyway? Sound plays an incredibly important role when visiting the higher dimensions. This also corresponds to the four forces which science places at the heart of the universe: Gravity, Electromagnetic, Strong Force and Weak Force







At the moment the only theory we have is still the Big Bang, but I am sure we will become more specific as our knowledge increases. I would like to challenge any nuclear or astrophysicist, who masters the art of Out-of-body projection to pose the same question as I did. Hopefully, his or her scientific mindset, may well supply the mathematics to one of our greatest mysteries.
