HOW TO FIND THE THIRD HEAVEN

I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.  Apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, after being stoned to death

If ever there was a Big Bang, it is now, because the cosmic universe has expanded at an accelerating rate since time began. It could take a large book to hold all the powers of ten needed to represent it.  There could have been a flash when it burst into existence and left the CMB, cosmic background radiation, but it started out at a snail’s pace compared to the second after, ad infinitum. As far as cosmic expansion goes, in our reckoning the universe would have always been the same size and always will be, and Newton's G cannot be less than what it is. Sorry, Einstein, but you really blundered Big Time. Cosmic expansion defines total mass M, speed of light C, radius R, the three fundamental constants of the universe which in turn define the force of gravity expressed as G. These in turn define the universally fixed length of a meter and rate of time.

The power of expansion drives every motion and reaction. You see clearly now how the connection between time and distance in gravitational fields prevents cosmic expansion from manifesting itself, but now we understand it to be the prime cause of the equal and opposite force of gravity. We could just as well think of ourselves as being overtaken and pushed by the larger mass of Earth, not pulled towards it as we are conditioned to think, though that latter is easier to grasp. This is how things work. The ether in reality is nothing but the expansion of space as a whole where light otherwise existing as a solitary vibration is propagated and resisted or assisted by the uneven expansion of local celestial bodies. Seriously, I’m not sold on myself, but this is the holy grail of physics, and it does belong to me alone.  

The Near Death Experience

The Cosmic Expansion Model removes all present contradictions facing physics and reveals many secrets of the universe that you could otherwise never know. Yet, we're just getting started, so fasten your seat belt. Religion and science are by nature incompatible, so let me emphasize that this chapter has nothing to do with religion. You should know about NDE's, near death experiences, not the GoPro or Chad Daybell kind, but the OOB (out of body) kind that surgeons have seen countless times on operating tables when patients cease to have a heartbeat for a long time. Are patients telling the truth or suffering from hallucinations brought about by trauma when they talk of a tunnel and an ethereal realm of profound beauty? Most scientists believe they suffer from hallucinations brought on by chemicals released at death. Well, wouldn’t they, though?  

Suppose that in a murder trial there are dozens of objective eye witnesses who saw the murder first hand and described the killer to a tee. You'd get a conviction, of course, and you as a juror would correctly vote guilty even if a witnesses or two might have been mistaken or lying. Likewise, some of those with claims of an NDE might be making up the story to get attention, even sell a book. You can't ever be sure how many stories are untrue because they all copy from the real ones. When so many thousands of such accounts match closely in important details, you can know for certain that so many witnesses can't be wrong. The mainstream projects contempt towards religious experiences, explaining them away as the product of brain chemicals such as ketamine released when a person is dying. That notion is far less credible than the consistent accounts of those who have had real NDE’s. I don't want to belabor the point, so you can study the matter more if you're not satisfied. I'm hoping instead that you will take my word that there is a Heaven, and I am not making outrageous claims. Like millions before me and since, I died for a brief period of time and as a result had a very intense, very profound experience with the Creator in his residence in an upper, ethereal dimension.

I just want to share the most important secrets I've learned. Unlike math and science which has proof of validity, I cannot support validity of my NDE with reproducible measurements. You'll have to take my word that I haven’t imagined or misrepresented the facts of my NDE in 1981. I believe the NDE experience yields a more complete understanding of the universe and mind of God. These are valuable secrets you rarely hear about if ever. Even though it was a personal experience, these revelations came from direct experience with the presence of God, creator of the universe whose presence fills the infinite, ethereal realm as a personal, living person. This is NOT a preacher story, but profound, valuable lessons shared for your benefit. By valuable, I mean life changing revelations at the deepest levels of human understanding.

Much is to be learned from NDE experiences.  Most describe a tunnel where a bright light is seen at the end. It's often the very first thing a dying person experiences. The tunnel ushers the soul from this realm to a higher one that has no physical substance but is saturated with life and energy. In my 1981 experience I accelerated rapidly through a narrowing tunnel through which all things converged. As I approached the end, the words came out of the experience itself, the "Union of All Things." That’s how God talks, by letting the essence of the thing announce itself, not in audible tones, but with direct force. I'm sure that the tunnel described in most NDEs is the path through the boundary between lower and upper dimensions where “all things” meet. Yes, this is more mystical than scientific, but it seems right because of the experience.  

The end of the tunnel must be the boundary of the physical dimension and the ethereal realm beyond the cosmos. I felt a much stronger pull at the beginning and rapid increase in speed through the tunnel just as if  leaving Earth in a powerful rocket. The narrow end of the tunnel is the literal convergence of all things in the physical realm and boundary to the upper dimension of God. Once passed, there is no longer any force of gravity, decay or mass. The words "Union of All Things" were not exactly spoken but branded into my being by the intensity of the experience. This is how God speaks. The essence of things reach out and speak themselves into your own essence. The boundary to the upper dimension is like the opposite of the center of expansion where all things merge together, perhaps not the dimension that light travels through but beyond that. The NDE revealed things about how the universe that correspond to the Cosmic Expansion Model. The universe is nested inside another fixed realm that it expands into with the force of gravity. The soul passes from the lower dimension to the upper after its journey on Earth.   

Since measurements depend on the only correct definition of length which depends on clock speed, if the meter stretches to two meters then clock speed increases from one second to two seconds and the same value of one meter is preserved. This is a verified fact of physics and assures you that physical space is fixed. It neither contracts or expands. This is what would happen inside a balloon if objects inside stretch with the balloon. If there is such a thing as cosmic expansion, we wouldn't see it, so this relation between clocks and dimensions suggests we live in a box so to speak. Technically the universe is a sphere or radius R, which is why Newton’s G consists of radius over mass times acceleration of light. For us, everything retains fixed conditions of time and space as expansion occurs only on the cosmic level.

The Cosmic Expansion Model demonstrates that we exist inside a rapidly expanding bubble called the universe floating inside a fixed, upper dimension though which light is propagated by the expansion of space. When we see light, we see the expansion of space in action feel it in the force of gravity. Upper as in Upperland has a universal meaning of the larger, fixed dimension surrounding the lower physical dimension which expands into it at the speed of light. Perhaps the man who wrote Flatland, Edwin Abbott Abbott, was trying to tell us something. I wondered about that while reading the book sitting on the concrete floor of the MSU Bozeman library about 1963. Just as every point is the center of cosmic expansion, so the origin of the universe, if it has one, can only be introduction of compressed energy as mass from the ethereal realm which contains it. 

What people experience in NDE’s without exception is a very vivid ethereal realm which has key qualities. In the ether realm, the presence of God as living quality is felt everywhere. Everything is alive in its own right, everything exudes light, life and indescribably beautiful personal qualities. Everything is a part of God yet separate. The life in everything all around you is the substance of God himself, the quality of it being not seen but experienced as flavors of the love of God, a love of such grand intensity that at times it seems unbearable. These experiences result in dramatic life changes for all who have them. They are neither faked nor imagined. Is there a link between the expansion of space and the tunnel experienced in most NDE's? Is the tunnel also the expansion of space that ferries us into Heaven at great speed? 

The “ether” of my NDE was an omnipresent, guiding entity consisting of pure love. One has no physical legs and there is no mass or gravity, so you go as your are taken. When you were born, you were imparted with a soul in the upper dimension which many are not conscious of in the physical dimension. The real you isn't your physical being. No matter how bound you feel to your body and the chemicals it's made of, these are simply borrowed for the brief time spent on the physical level. When your journey through the cosmic tunnel is completed, your soul will literally ascend into the upper dimension beyond the universe. When dying, you enter into a tunnel and accelerate with immense power into your weightless, eternal form and presence of God, the real pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
