Even if you go above the clouds or outside the atmosphere, you won’t find heaven.
Perhaps this is why, in the 20th century, humanity as a whole came to believe that heaven does not exist.
But heaven does exist.
It just doesn’t exist in the three-dimensional world that present-day humanity seems to have firmly believed to be the entire universe.
At the beginning of the 20th century, astrophysics made great strides forward with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, but at that time, I suppose it was basically thought of in terms of just four variables: x, y, z, and t. In other words, just the three-dimensional space of x, y, and z, and the time axis t.
As far as thinking in the macroscopic world, I don’t think modern astrophysics has made much progress from there.
In a book for the general public that proposed the possibility of a fifth dimension, the fifth dimension is also a physical dimension like x, y, and z.
Because of this, I am afraid that the more modern astrophysics develops, the more deeply humanity will be convinced that there is no heaven.
I specialize in yoga.
In yoga, practitioners manipulate the subtle body that all human beings possess.
Although I suppose this is what is generally referred to as heaven, the lower worlds of heaven can be reached with this subtle body.
In other words, heaven exists in a space with a depth of mind that is equivalent to the subtle body.
This is a realm that modern astrophysics cannot deal with.
The reason is that physics is a discipline that excludes all components of the mind.
I believe I was able to describe some theoretical matters regarding the location of heaven in Chapter 12, so please read it if you are interested.
The subtle body is explained mainly in Chapters 7 and 8.
As for the limits of physics, in the modern world, it is the mainstream idea that there is a complete separation between the mind and matter, but the real world, including the everyday world, does not conform to the dualism of mind and matter. These topics are discussed in Chapter 4.
