An infinite multitude of universes as perceived by an NDEr

In 2017, Philip Hasheider, an accomplished author and farmer, unexpectedly collapsed during a workout, resulting in a near-death experience that transported him to an infinite, timeless dimension. He encountered a radiant golden sphere—symbolizing the Divine Creator—radiating love and connected to an infinite web of universes. After being revived, Philip spent months grappling with the meaning of his experience, eventually realizing his purpose: to be a conduit of hope for those who feel lost.

In another interview titled Clinically Dead 6 Minutes; Man Visits Infinite Universe of 8 Dec, 2024, he had the following ideas and understanding of the infinite and timeless dimension in question: Imagining that we could take our universe and press it down to a single sheet of paper (say) and suspend it out there in that eternal & timeless space. Let’s suppose we could also make similar treatments for the innumerable universes therein. Then, each one of these universes (sheets) would be seen to have a filament reaching up and attaching itself to the God Essence energy which is the pulsating golden sphere seen by him in his NDE. The God Essence energy was sending all the love, all the welcoming and all the acceptance (or any similar adjective) into all these different universes! Such a conglomerate of the universes form a spider web-like matrix which encompasses the golden sphere.

Indeed, Philip had some hesitation in his description of the infinite and timeless dimension since its true qualities are really ineffable. He could only try his best to convey his memories into words and ideas for our understanding as limited by our physical perception. Such a phenomenon is rather common among near-death experiencers when they are asked about what exactly they had seen and experienced.

Similarly, let’s try to expand our 3D to a 4D world while time is unchanged. While we can understand a physical object or an idea (especially a scientific one) mathematically, we can hardly exhaust all the possibilities and implications in the mathematical process of adding an extra dimension to our physical universe.

Philip’s description of his perception of the infinite and timeless dimension after he had crossed over is similar to a 2D person (say) trying to imagine a 3D space by supposing he or she can superimpose an infinite number of 2D universes upon and without actually touching each other. We should presume that the 2D person has no experience and cannot truly visualize a 3D space if he or she did exist. Below is a graphical illustration of a stack of 2D universes upon each other. The galaxies or stars therein are supposed to be 2D objects.


I hope the above could help enlighten that our verbal or literal expressions of ideas or mental images are often limited by our own experience and perception. However, such efforts to express ourselves is essential in our exchange and communication. Hopefully, we can then stimulate one another for a better understanding of both the external world(s) and our internal consciousness.
