Multidimensional Man

Multidimensional Man, and its sequel, Vistas of Infinity, make up an extraordinary record of the author's experiences on the inner planes of reality. While many people have reported “NDEs” the vast majority of these are brief glimpses, lasting but a few seconds, or minutes at best. In contrast, Jurgen Ziewe gives us a wide angle panorama, consisting of hundreds of hours of experience on these planes and including extensive conversations with the inhabitants who reside there.The scope of his accounts are not unlike the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg from the 18th century. Unfortunately, Swedenborg's writings are in Latin and steeped in the religious language of his Lutheran upbringing. Today, Ziewe gives us lucid accounts in modern English, without the overlay of any particular religious belief.I believe these two books have enormous importance for humanity, if for no other reason than that we are all going to eventually leave this world for dimensions unknown. If we were planning a trip to a distant galaxy, how valuable would it be to have a detailed account of the places we are likely to encounter, documented by explorers who have preceded us on the journey? This is exactly what Jurgen Ziewe has provided. I regard these two books among the most valuable in my collection.

Please know that I do not claim to have all the answers and do not dub myself a spiritual expert. I am only sharing books that I am looking into as part of my spiritual journey. Multidimensional Man: An Authentic Eyewitness Account of the World that Awaits Us After Death by Jurgen Ziewe contains some exciting information from many of the spiritual travels that his soul undertook such as:Pages 129-135: his journeys to the “third dimension” helped him see that the power of creative thought is more powerful on certain planes. From his perspective, an attitude of generosity and positivity will help a soul become a vibrational match for this plan. Additionally, the amount of leisure and happiness available from what he saw inspired him to describe it as a place that souls are “living the dream” and especially blissful for those who dream of living a life in luxury.Birds of Paradise (pages 173-176): During one of his journeys he noticed a colorful garden and a parrot that had a wingspan of at least four feet. He stretched out his hand to bid farewell to one of the birds and before he woke up he noticed a gift of a dark square object attached to his arm. I remember hearing a song called Birds of Paradise by Sally Oldfield from the cd collection Mystic Spirits: Chants of Paradise and even reviewed it back in November 2011. I wonder if this song is inspired by spiritual stories pertaining to the Birds of Paradise stories (hence the realm that Ziewe found himself on).Pages 202-203: There are countless numbers of heavens that spring from the thought forms of various people that pass over (I interpreted this to be over a billion heavens, however I’m aware that it could also be something different from what my human mind is conceiving of).He also includes a heartfelt meeting with his mother in one of the paradise realms and includes a reference in the back of his recommended books. His online website also includes some fascinating information and drawings. His colorful illustrations remind me of the drawings from the Tomorrowland 2012 and Tomorrowland 2013 electronic/trance music dance series. However, I acknowledge that both this author and the artists of the music series probably drew their inspiration in different positive/happy ways. Either way, I also enjoy his website and plan to come back to it to see more drawings and the information he gathers and shares. I understand that he only means well, but my only caveat is that he implies that reduces the cause of depression to a single cause by implying that depression is solely caused by refusing to accept reality. I agree that one must accept reality towards creating a happier life. However, I respectfully disagree that depression is caused by just that one reason and the causes of depression in a person are as varied as the men or women suffering from them. Additionally, depression is often inherited and for this reason alone this I would dare to say that individuals with various forms of depression are as worth of entering the heavenly realms as those who are frequently happy (if an afterlife exists these spirits would just probably end up in different “heavens”.) Additionally, I have been lucky in getting to see for myself what a heavenly realm looks like through one of my dreams and intuitively know that one can still be trying to work on their happiness and yet still enter one of the blissful realms. Aside from that caveat, Multidimensional Man by Jurgen Ziewe is an original and interesting book.

Probably one of the best books on what happens in the afterlife. I admired the author's integrity for keeping himself to his goal to gather information in various realms and not succumb to lower seductive energies that would put his marriage at risk. You know he thinks of her often, as she pops up in a dream state frequently. He has grouped his experiences by types instead of dates, which threw me off a bit because I would have liked to see a progression as a gauge for my own journeys. It turns out that it doesn't really matter. It's all about states of mind. As he points it out, clean up our psychology here. His progression is irrelevant to mine or anyone else's. It's a personal journey where he is there to get answers for himself and in turn for all of us.From the start of his journeys, he calls them Lucid Dreaming. After reading a bit, my suspicions were confirmed. You can go from lucid to OBE, it's just a matter of degrees in clarity, awareness and consciousness. I found that other people instructing how to astral travel make it difficult with all the instructions and do's and don'ts. He doesn't give instructions, just points the way. It's whatever works for you. Become aware in your dream that you're dreaming, then ask for more clarity. Keep going because it gets better with practice.This book brings together the OBE with the NDE's. It's been a bit misleading to see NDE's paint a picture of love, happiness, and working on their issues, but never explaining how or what so we get a guided idea, leaving us to assume all sorts of fantasy ideas and beliefs. Here, Ziewe tells us how this operates, while giving summations of his observations and insights.Some of the places Jurgen went to were lower realms where it appeared there were no consequences for the "freedom" to explore to one's hearts content, experiencing great emotions not felt here, and fun. Like the author, I wondered about morality and integrity. But as the author exemplifies, you don't have to eat the whole cake to know what it tastes like using a bit of care and thought to move on so you don't get stuck. Applies here and there. How many times in my youth friends try to get me to take drugs or get involved in sexual encounters and I decided against it? Later seeing them suffering and dragged into a self-condemned depression for reaching for sense pleasures and feeling empty instead of taking the high road. I call this "taking 3 rights to make a left" thinking. Jurgen makes the turns he directly to continue his explorations, in spite of the temptations to assess meaning for his soul/consciousness...and ours.I follow Emanuel Swedenborg and find both the author and Swedenborg encounters are very consistent with each other. This information is a great guidebook for better information. I only wish this type of knowledge hadn't been secreted from us over the years on this planet. It could open doors to inner knowing, inner growth, and keep us connected in integrity and love for ourselves and each other.
