Basic Introduction to Multi-Dimensional Science

Multi-Dimensional Science, or MDS represents a revolutionary approach towards a more objective understanding of claimed psychic, and spiritual phenomena.The ideas notably appeared on the kheper website run by Alan Kazlev, an authority on all things "esoteric". The link is as follows.

[1]

The "Science" word in MDS is ofcourse used in an entirely provisional sense.The subject can thus be also known as the Multi-Dimensional Hypothesis,or MDH. This is arguably a more accurate term. At present, it is purely at the "pseudo-scientific" stage of development.

The words"Multi-Dimensional" have been criticized but in this context it clearly implies claimed psychic, and spiritual dimensions, or worlds variously called spheres, planes of existence, higher realms, et al. They could be seen as being akin to a certain extent with "scientific" concepts of anti-matter worlds,parallel universes, and ofcourse the fourth(or the fifth, sixth, or more) dimension(s).

Important to Understand, and Appreciate.

Most of all that follows is highly speculative, and theoretical. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable due the nature of the subject in hand. Understandably, many mainstream scientists would regard MDS as nonsense, and too New Agey to have any credence. A few may be able to take it more seriously. Many of the things said here may come across a little dogmatic but this is not intentional. But, it is not always easy to describe "concepts" such as these in neutral terms.

Anyhow, let us try if possible to proceed with an open-mind.

The Aim of the Multi-Dimensional Paradigm.

The basic aim of Multi-Dimensional Science, or MDS is to prove albeit indirectly the existence of so-called non-physical psychic/spiritual energies, and the claimed realities in which they are said to exist. If possible, and if it can be done within the context of a new version of the scientific method it would have untold benefits for physics,biology,psychology,psychiatry, parapsychology,et al. This in itself is a huge subject...infinite like the universe, and with infinite implications for humanity.

Most of what follows is essentially theoretical at the present time, and would require in the goodness of time to be "proved" as far as possible via research, and experimentation.

The Basic Methodology of MDS

There are five methodological steps in the process of "objectifying" the claimed "subjective" encounters of the unseen psycho-spiritual universe. Since what we are discussing what are claimed to be non-physical energies it should be obvious that we cannot use normal "scientific" protocol as they are physically undetectable in the main unless they temporarily "materialize" within the electro-magnetic spectrum of the physical universe.

Anyway, the methods of research, and ultimately experiment are as follows.

i) Finding MDOs, or Multi-Dimensional Observers would be necessary, and a special directory could be created. These are specific psychics, and mystics who claim to have inner experiences of a range of non-physical phenomena notably the manifestations of claimed ethereal sounds,and lights. They may among other things be able to view the so-called subtle body, auras,discarnate entities, symbolic imagery, et cetera. Such data would in Western Philosophy be regarded as a form of phenomenology a concept coined by Edmund Husserl.

ii) A simple questionaire would probably be used first to ask MDOs what they experience. A detailed one would follow. The aim of this is to see how many obscure pieces of data are independently corroborated beyond the laws of mathematical chance. In other words, we have as it were "objective" non-physical phenomena which are not the product of subjective imagination of the MDO.

iii) Such attempted descriptions of "higher worlds", and their "higher energies" are translated from words into images. This could be put onto a computer.

iv) Mathematical models,and theories could then be created.

v) On the basis of step iv experiments could be undertaken to see how reliable, and objective the initial data really is. If all things go to plan we would have an approach in which we could understand on a more scientific basis the actual workings of psycho-spiritual energies in both man, and the universe. This would be a huge step forward, and would have profound implications for the arts, and most notable of all the sciences themseves.

Multi-Dimensional Science represents the Complete System.

The idea of trying to marry science with esoteric mysticism, and religion is nothing new. But what is so unique with MDS is that we for the first time the Complete System to achieve it.

The idea of using mathematics to describe "higher worlds" is nothing new (eg. Jewish Mysticism). Tne notion of trying to turn unseen realities, and energies into pictures is again nothing new (eg. Charles Leadbeater, and his famous images of the subtle bodies, and their auras). Similiarly, questionaires have been used to find out what people encounter during out-of-body experiences, or OOBEs, and so-called religious (or rather mystical) experiences have been undertaken by a number of individuals, and organizations (eg. the Sir Alistair Hardy Centre, and the Kundalini Research Institute).Also,the use of psychics to try, and discover "secret knowledge"(eg. Besant, and Leadbeater in their clairvoyant reseaches into chemistry)and so-called "occult powers" is nothing new (eg. Reichenbach, and the Odic Force).

What MDS ofcourse tries to do is to bring together these four key approaches into one complete system. Professor Tarts State-Specific Science,or S-SS comes close to it, but does not go far enough, and is hence, incomplete.

Describing the Indescribable?

Many psychics, and mystics have at times found it difficult to put into words their inner experiences of "higher worlds". Quite often they may resort to using symbolism of one form, or another. To what extent, and in what way this would be is shown is revealed by the questionaires. This could cause some degree of complication from a scientific perspective.

Much relies on the literal, and symbolic descriptive powers of the MDOs concerned though inevitably there will be "things" which can never be described at all. These would be indicated via the questionaires ofcourse, and ultimately via the mathematical models.

Interfacing with the Physical,and Non-Physical

If MDOs can collectively produce reliable data about the energies a in, or around physical objects, and people it would be possible to measure them scientifically using physical instruments. For example, a microscope could be used to examine in detail certain materials, and tested (ie "reliable")MDOs one after, or another in theory should be able to come up with the same data concerning their non-physical psychic structure, and eneriges.

In another example, person A may be able to produce claimed psychic rays from his, or her body. This could be accurately measured using some kind of physical instrument(s) with the help of what MDOs see, and may hear psychically in non-physical dimensions.

A similiar process to above could be had in which physical objects, and people do not exist. Indeed, some of the "measurements" and other "quantifiable" findings could rely on independently corroborative data from tested MDOs.

What we are also indicating here is that the science of the future will become increasingly more humanized, and less objective in the normal scientific sense. By "humanized" we are implying ofcourse that tested MDOs, or "special" people would become more, and more a part of the experimental process gradually unlocking the secrets of the physical, and non-physical universe. Again, it should be re-iterated that MDS offers for the first time the Complete Systemto achieve this.

Basic Theoretical Concepts of Higher Worlds, and Higher Energies

Many mystical, and psychic writings claim that there are a series of higher worlds, and hence, higher energies in the non-physical Universe. Such pschic/spiritual cosmologies have often been illustrated as a set of seven or more lines either in concentric, or linear forms. They are on occassions sub-divided into smaller worlds, or sub-planes (of a plane). On occasion they are shown concentrically around our planet earth, and extent ultimately into infinity.

There are a number of hermetic/alchemical texts which notably illustrate higher planes of existence as being concentric. Certain Buddhist depictions of the "after-life" realms indicate a linear, or concentric set of worlds, or planes.

In the Alice Bailey Teachings a scheme of spiritual cosmology there appears in each plane a division of seven sub-planes.The reality of the situation is probably that there are an infinite number of planes, and sub-planes, and their number tends to vary from one esoteric, and /or mythological source to another

It is said that as one ascends from one higher reality to another it becomes increasingly brighter, and there is growing expansion of super-conciousness, or mystical experience. Moreover, the energies of each succeeding plane, and indeed, each sub-plane become increasingly subtle. The content of such visionary ascents can as one progresses "upwards" become more difficult, or impossible at times to describe in the language of this world.

Subtle Bodies, or Vehicles of Conciousness

A key feature in occult, or esoteric lore is the concept of subtle bodies. This notion notably comes from Eastern Mysticism.Here we need to imagine the possibility of the human being consisting of a set of subtle bodies simultaneously existing in a number of planes of existence but "working" all together as if they were one.

The first of these traditionally is the etheric body existing in the etheric world. Then there is the so-called astral, or emotional body inhabiting the plane of emotions. Next the mental body which inhabits the mental plane. Then, the the higher mental body which ofcourse exists in the higher plane. Finally, there is the Soul "Body" which is who, or what we really are but is largely controlled by the lower emotional, and mental body.

Meditation, and pure living is the means by which people can let the Light of the Soul shine through more, and more , and gain greater mastery over the lower forces of the human being. The Soul is said to be a part of God, or the Absolute Reality, and is sometimes referred to as our God-Self or Higher Self which can manifest Itself independently of the lower self, and can act as a Spiritual Guide, or manifest It-Self as the Ishta Dev (or Chosen Ideal such as Buddha, Christ, or some Guru etc) in the inner journey during meditation, or after death.
