The world has three spatial and one time dimension. The fifth dimension is celestial, the seventh is Divine. The sixth is of Divine Love Consciousness which connects them.
—Swami Prakashanand Saraswati (The Sixth Dimension)
Can you picture what will be/So limitless and free
—The Doors (“The End”)
This dimensional concept has been described in alarming detail in many ancient texts. Each and every religion has a version of a state of being in between life and death. Mystical paths do too. What’s the difference between religion and a mystical path?
Religions focus on the worship of God by adhering to the laws and rules, i.e., dogmas of their belief systems. Mystical paths provide methods, practices, and formulas for attaining union with spiritual consciousness. Our global culture has divided these into two cultures: Eastern religions and paths and Western ones. Western ones are considered closed systems and generally refer to the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Eastern ones are considered open systems and include Buddhism, Zen, I-Ching, and Sanatan Dharm (Hinduism). Eastern mysticism includes the Buddha’s 8-Fold path, Zen, I-Ching, and the many paths of yoga within Sanatan Dharm. Open vs. closed systems refer to their acceptance, tolerance, and inclusion of others; Western closed systems have a my-way-or-the-highway attitude with an emphasis on thou-shall and shalt-not rules. Eastern open systems have an all-roads-lead-to-Rome mentality with acceptance of any true and sincere path to spirituality. Western is exclusive, Eastern is inclusive.
The Eastern religions accept the process of reincarnation, so their system is far more complete than Western ones. Western religions that don’t accept the reincarnation feature of a soul’s ultimate journey to liberation from matter have reincarnation references too, it’s just a little vague and rather elementary, so we’ll deal with it first.
The Western concept of the in-between dimension is called purgatory. Any soul not qualified for heaven, but not evil enough to qualify for eternal hell, goes to purgatory: a temporary place where they are purged of their defects. Once they serve their time in purgatory, they then move on and up to heaven, so long as they let their evil ways go and have served their time like a man! [WP1] [ss2] There’s no guarantee a soul in purgatory will go to heaven once their time is served: it’s merely an opportunity. You got some work to do there, but it is looked upon as God’s merciful grace that you’re given a second chance to avoid eternal hell. If you waste your time and opportunity in purgatory and do not learn and come to terms with your sins, it’s on to hell instead.
The Western religion’s purgatory concept mirrors the Eastern ones, which came first. Actually, the majority of Western religious thought, dogmas, and philosophies were imported from the Eastern ones. So now we’ll explore the Eastern concepts of The Portal.[WP3] [ss4]
I’ve already told you the name The Portal is my own. When I arrived back to Earth from the in-between state, I didn’t know what to call it, so I just gave it a harmless and nondenominational name. Purgatory has an inaccurate stigma of being hellish and Bardo is a bit exotic for many Westerners, so I selected something convenient and personal.
The ancient Eastern names are antarābhava in Sanskrit or Sanatan Dharm (Hinduism), which becomes Bardo in Buddhism. Ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt had nearly the exact concepts, as it had only just migrated from the East and had yet to be over-dogmatized by the organizing Western religions.
Antarābhava/Bardo is central to these ultra-thorough and precise spiritual philosophies. How to prepare and endure The Portal dimension in between life, death, and rebirth is vital. The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Egyptian Book of the Dead are both instructional manuals. They teach the living how to prepare for dying. The massive library of Hindu scriptures is, in its own way, the same thing: Sanatan Dharm’s Vedas, Upanishads, Shastras, and all the rest teach you how to live right and develop spiritually so you can progress toward the end game of liberation: no more incarnation to the material world.
These scripture-manuals provide very specific instructions to be applied when nearing death itself. Why? Because you’re about out of time, so you better get it right! The way you live in this life determines the factors, features, consequences, and circumstances for the afterlife and/or next life/lives. It’s like a karmic bank account: whatever you deposit into your account in this life is what you’ll have to withdraw from in your next or after life. If your deposits are in a currency valuable and stable and you have a lot saved up, then your next life ATM withdrawals are of the most valuable currency from a stable economy. But if you deposit bad deeds into your karmic bank account, you’ll have just a few Barundi Francs to withdraw from, and since a Barundi Franc is 0.00049 to USD, and even less to the Euro, it’s going to be rough.
How you deal with The Portal plays a role too. We’re not going to go into the Books of the Dead to study how to use your time in The Portal to have a safe transition back to Earthly matter: it’s beautiful, valuable, and necessary. I have a full copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead and others, so what I present here is verifiable. What I was uploaded, experienced, and witnessed within The Portal verified what these texts teach. You don’t have to have an NDE to learn how the Transmigration of the Soul works[NS5] [ss6] ! The knowledge of life, death, and the afterlife has always been available! But it can be hard and rare to study them.
I just want you to understand why and how The Portal works so you can get the themes and contexts of what’s being presented in this man’s experience within it and how it was, and is, constantly affecting my life.
To understand life, you have to understand death.
The Eastern systems teach there are eight stages of the Bardo; each stage exploring the death event and transmigration of the soul back to matter. The reason to study and practice what is prescribed is to avoid getting caught in one of the various stages of the transmigration process. The reason Tibetan Buddhists are confident they have just had a single Dalia Lama is because each one has followed the Book of the Dead process to reincarnate as Himself and be able to be found and identified in his next incarnation. There have been fourteen Dalai Lamas since the title role was established in 1390, but Tibetan Buddhists feel there’s just been one Lama in fourteen bodies.
If a soul’s mind experiences nothing but fear, grief, loss, and unacceptance of death during the transition in The Portal, they can get caught and not move on. These are the ghost realms and others. The entire point of a human life is to become liberated from the cycle of the ever-turning Wheel of Life and Death.
Our experience within The Portal is influenced and regulated by our life’s work and preparation. Our life’s work and preparation are regulated and influenced by our prior life’s work and preparation. If you have spent several lifetimes working with and following very material, mundane concepts, you don’t get much insight as you transition, and you certainly don’t retain much. Lifetime(s) of spiritual thinking create proportionately revealing Portal experiences, and your retention and ability to understand them are proportionate as well.
The Portal is an intermediary dimension: It is not within the actual Divine realm, but neither is it purely material. But it is well above the dense dimension of physical matter and even above the psychic supernatural level of it too. Yet, it is not Divine either. You’re not in direct contact with God Him/Herself; you’re just closer, and the veils of material illusion are thin enough to allow closer contact. The angels, Akashic-Agents, etc. are in direct contact with God.
Within the Akashic space, your two main bodies (physical, subtle) are not present nor even relevant. Only your causal body lives on and experiences The Portal: your karmas, sanskars, and manas (mind).
· Karmas: your destined events and circumstances
· Sanskars: your destined attitudes and moods
· Manas: your mind/consciousness
I can’t tell you in perfect and absolute precision how this all works, but here are the basics: I’m a mortal man, not a Buddha, Christ, or Guru. There are four parts of the overall mind. In yogic/Sanskrit terms they are:
1. Manas—sensory awareness
2. Buddhi—intellect
3. Ahamkar—ego/identity of self
4. Citta—consciousness
Manas is the storage unit for our memories and what we directly perceive.
Buddhi makes sense of what is in Manas. This is your cognitive ability.
Ahamkar is your personal and individual sense of self: the ego, superego, and id in Freudian terms.
Citta is pure consciousness. That is not to say it is pure as in perfect. It is pure as in raw: it simply is. It is not burdened with memory, sense awareness, or ego. It is just actual awareness, often referred to in New Age speak as the higher self, in artist speak as the creative tunnel, in sports speak as in the zone, and invoked as Zen-like.
All four of them interplay with one another and rely on one another: none of them can function at their full capacity without the others, yet they also exist and function independently.
Within The Portal, my manas, buddhi, and ahamkara were dormant—like asleep.
I was just citta—pure, raw consciousness. It wasn’t mine or individual. It was a part of the overall consciousness, like a single drop of consciousness in a gorgeous sea of consciousness. It was paradoxical, as I simultaneously had an individual existence but was also One with an overall consciousness.
It was a desireless state.
Now, that’s ideal! No wanting or needing . . . ! Try it sometime! It’s really peaceful! And because I was not influenced by desire, I had no need or use for will. I don’t recall it being present at all!
I wasn’t even curious. It wasn’t like I just wanted to know things and therefore knew them. I was a small part, a tiny feature floating in the cosmos of thought, knowledge, and emotion. I was a part of knowledge and truth, not really separate exactly.
But I was not omniscient! While I was saturating[ss7] [WP8] in the Akashic regions of truth and knowledge, I was only uploaded with what I was qualified to receive. What was available to me were truths and knowledge I had either accumulated in several lifetimes and/or I was qualified to know.
This is a feature both the Books of the Dead and Vedas agree upon too: You perceive the overall collection of your own knowledge relevant to your current status. An individual who has invested years of life into spiritual practice and study is theoretically more likely to have more access to spiritual uploads than those who have not.
Part of the reason a Roger Federer and a Serena Williams are such tennis phenoms is because they have developed these skills over more than this life. Same with Mozart: a composer who’s a prodigy by the age of seven is a carryover set of skills.
A spiritualist will do the same. The more time in a life dedicated to spiritual pursuits and progress, the more dividends it pays the next time around. Maybe Einstein was the reincarnation of Isaac Newton: very possible! Newton was a spiritual alchemist: the only reason he accepted the offer to be a professor at Cambridge was to fund his work as an alchemist. Einstein said science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. He rejected the opportunity to work on The Bomb because he was philosophically a pacifist and became vegetarian as he got older too. They both clearly exemplify having access to way more genius than one life can account for!
Most get a bit of both, and it is percentage-proportionate: a man primarily dedicated to material ambitions and family and only marginally involved with spiritual concepts will reap the same. And vice-versa.
These tendencies are stored within the manas section of the mind and can be reignited once we follow our intuition to do so. It’s rather mechanical.
The Akashic space, The Portal, doesn’t really concern itself with material concepts, only spiritual ones. It is a spiritual dimension after all.
Whilst many NDE-ers report on gaining access to truth and powers previously unknown or which they’d even been interested in before their NDE, this is because they had spiritual/mystical carryovers from recent lifetimes. They were not prevalent enough to carry over consciously in their current lifetime but were recent enough to be latent and shocked awake by an NDE or some other revelatory life event.
***
My life prior to my NDE was entirely committed to spiritual knowledge and practice. I also had a healthy and stable material life I enjoyed very much. I just wasn’t overly attached to it. I certainly was dedicated to material success: ambitious and hard- working to create material comfort, safety, and opportunity.
But I didn’t take it for granted and always viewed my material assets as resources to fund and provide my spiritual progress. It takes money to make a pilgrimage to sacred spiritual sites in India and to have the time and energy to study and do spiritual path work. This takes a stable material life; for me, anyway. I’m just not evolved enough yet to live the life of a Sadhu monk in a cave without a bank account.
What I accessed and what I retained from The Portal was proportionate to my level and status. I’ve been a spiritualist for several lifetimes, but far from a perfect one, and in each I had either lost my way or at least detoured from the direct path’s progress, but I had accumulated an extraordinary amount of spiritual knowledge and practical experience in past and current lives.
That’s what The Book(s) of the Dead are all about: investing this life in spiritual knowledge and practice to reap what you sow in the next. The major reason my Kundalini event at twenty-five was so prodigious may have been because of prior life work with it. I seemed to have had an entire life of supernatural occurrences. Is this partly due to prior-life study and practice?
We’ve all done it: spent many lifetimes in a row pursuing spiritual truths and have accumulated enough progress to have a good starting point from which to progress in the next. And we’ve all lost our way, been detoured, or generally forsook our spirituality and deviated back to the material. We’re all on varying points of the spiritual/material spectrum. We’re all the Fool within the tarot deck, on his journey from matter to spirit. We each have an opportunity to accept spiritual initiation with The Magician of card number one and of spiritual downfall when we interact with number 16, The Tower. We go back and forth through the human condition until we get it right and arrive at the trump card, number 22, The World, which doesn’t mean matter. The World card represents the end of the major arcana of the deck and is total liberation and illumination.
Wherever you are in your Fool’s journey, go forward, never back. And eventually you will pass the Wheel, go directly past Death and be given the password from key number 20, Judgement, to get the entire World in your hands.
Are you ready?
