Spiritual Travel to Other Dimensions

Trans-dimensional travel has long been the domain of sci-fi, but does it really exist? If we compare experiences on-screen and with books, time-travel doesn’t seem to be a reality. However, when we tone down our expectations, we get a different picture.

People use the Mandela Effect example as proof that travel between parallel universes is not only possible but more common than we think. The Mandela Effect is based on many people globally believing that Nelson Mandela had died a prisoner on Robben Island in the 1980s. The truth is that he died a free man in 2013 after having served as president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

Skeptics put the Mandela Effect down to false memory. In the 1980s, international pressure on the South African government to release Nelson Mandela gained momentum. So he and the prison on Robben Island were regularly featured in the media. Therefore, nay-sayers claim the false belief is confabulation, where the brain fills in missing bits of memory to make more sense.

Collective Memory Alone Doesn’t Prove Multiple Dimensions

Let’s accept that memory can be unreliable, and the brain is a fascinating and complex organ that’s quite capable of misleading us.

But what about the other, more subtle examples of people finding themselves in alternate realities, often without realizing it?

Experts explain that many parallel universes exist as cosmic patches much like ours and include people just like us. Each patch differs only by one or two particles’ positions and progressively moves on to patches entirely different from ours. Picture it in your mind as the multiple rings around Saturn.

These parallel universes are more than the memory of a place, person, or event. Each one is the lived actuality of choices; decisions we make manifest and shape our daily lives. Had we made different decisions in the past, our present could look very different, and these patches are reflections of that.

Since these universes exist in the present, they also have a past and future aspect. To make it easier, we can look at ghost sightings, particularly frequent ones. Could these be people, animals, and events that have become trapped, for just a few moments in time, in our realm of existence? This is more relevant when we consider that spontaneous spiritual travel often occurs in moments of trauma.

Do We Need Complicated Rituals?

Thelemite, Ebony Anpu, devised a very complicated ritual called the Tesseract Working to facilitate moving between universes. It had a neo-pagan structure but was so complicated that it wasn’t used or expanded after his death in 1999.

Traveling through alternate realities isn’t only the sphere of occultists and spiritual gurus, though. Despite humankind’s fear of death, every person going through the experience of death is, in effect, traversing universes – and people die every day. Therefore, we don’t need complicated rituals, and it explains why those who experience trauma and survive frequently speak of experiencing an alternate reality.

Psychedelic herbs like ayahuasca are used for time travel by shamans in rituals to heal karmic and past hurts. Healers will tell you, though, that spirit will only reveal what’s relevant to your healing.

That tells us that shifting between past, present, and future realities isn’t as thrilling as fiction, and we don’t necessarily have control over our destination. Instead, success mostly seems unprompted rather than planned, but the experience is more profound.

Awareness and Belief Are Essential

Because evidence shows that we can easily slip into altered reality with or without realizing it, the most crucial factors are being present in the moment and believing that it can happen. Someone who doubts might experience trans-dimensional travel and put it down to something else, like losing concentration, for example.

When we believe, we’ll be more likely to realize what’s happening and experience it fully. And this brings us to the question – if we can’t choose our destination, can we travel through universes by choice?

Even though it’s more of an unplanned experience, we have the clair senses that can take us back and forward in time. Everyone has them, but they’re mostly ignored or suppressed until we become unaware of them. Fortunately, we can develop them again, and usually, one or two senses will become stronger than the rest.

Regularly working your clair senses to regain a higher level of consciousness and communication will help you access parallel realities through spirit travel.

What Are the Dangers?

As long as you cast a circle of protection before doing any work and use grounding and cleansing rituals afterward, there aren’t any. All spirit work exposes us to negative energies if we’re unprotected.

Probably the greatest danger is misleading yourself if you’re using spiritual travel to control or predict an outcome, or if you have a specific result in mind. As mentioned previously, the human brain can be very deceptive. When we try spirit work with a particular destination in mind, we block the energy flow, and the brain can take over.

As a result, you could experience what appears to be parallel realities, but in truth, your brain is filling in gaps and creating an experience based on your desired result. Used as a guide for decision making, you could end up making poor choices, and therein lies the danger.

How Do We Do It?

Take the advice of healers and shamans and allow spirit to direct your energy to where you need to go. To do that, you must have an open mind and no preconceived ideas. Although this can be challenging to begin with, once you get the hang of it, it will become a part of daily life.

It comes down to being acutely aware of the present rather than focusing on past or future outcomes and being open to inter-dimensional experiences. This is where clair senses come in. Once you start relying on them, they’ll develop and open you up to visions, sounds, smells, and sensations that can trigger spiritual travel.

Spirit always takes the path of least resistance, so whichever clair sense is best developed will likely become an access portal for communication. Once you can sense a shift in reality, you can relax into the experience and allow it to happen unchecked.
