Hebrew Scripture, Consciousness, and Parallel universes
Hebrew Scripture hints at the idea that “the tangible” universe we presently experience is the result of a
higher “non tangible” universe. And the allegorical way to portray this idea, is to state that both the Heavens
and the Earth (representing dimensions and matter) were created by God’s word; where “God’s word”, or
“Breath” represents a “primordial” (or “non tangible” universe).
Why? Because, since articulated words are the natural expression of a conscious mind, what Scripture really
means to say is that our seemingly infinite universe is in fact the physical manifestation of a non physical
consciousness; that time, space, matter, energy, and dimensions are all the manifestation of thought; In fact,
that the whole Universe is ultimately a collection of living thoughts.

Thus, it makes perfect sense that the Hebrew Scriptures intimates that, after we die [and thus leave our
physical universe], we will experience a sort of “personalized heaven” (or else, a “personalized hell”); an
automatically built universe, created by our own consciousness-- If we have a just and merciful conscience,
we will experience a universe where justice and mercy is is bestowed upon us [and this will be our
personalized “heaven”, or “paradise”].
But, if we were instead wicked and evil people, we will experience a universe where wickedness comes upon
us [and this will be our personalized “Gehinnom”, or “Hellfire”]. As is written: “Therefore THE LORD
HATH RECOMPENSED ME ACCORDING TO MY RIGHTEOUSNESS; ACCORDING TO MY
CLEANNESS in his eye sight. WITH THE MERCIFUL, THOU WILT SHEW THYSELF MERCIFUL;
AND WITH THE UPRIGHT MAN, THOU WILT SHEW THYSELF UPRIGHT. WITH THE PURE, THOU
WILT SHEW THYSELF PURE; AND WITH THE FROWARD, THOU WILT SHEW THYSELF
UNSAVOURY”- 2 Samuel 22:25-27.
By the way, one of Reformed Samaritanism main tenets is that Creation itself happens to be God’s first and
foremost Holy Scripture [and that the words written by latter prophets just confirmed and clarified this
primordial Word of God].
Thus, we must be able to find within Nature a phenomenon that intimates [and resembles] the fact that, once
our bodies lie still in the darkness of our death beds (our tombs), our consciousness automatically starts to
create a sort of “personalized universe”; a parallel reality that, although arising from our own consciousness,
from our own perspective seems to be completely real.
And what is such phenomenon? The sleeping process!-- a process in which, during the darkness of the night,
we lie still on our beds while our conscience creates a personalized dream world; a unique world based upon
the thoughts and concerns we had formerly experienced (during daylight).
Curiously, the Hebrew Scripture constantly alludes to the parallelism of these two processes. When? When it
states that the various men of God where “gathered to their people” [or “slept” with their fathers]. The
following are just a few of those Bible verses:
“Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; AND WAS
GATHERED TO HIS PEOPLE”- Genesis 25:8; “And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, AND WAS
GATHERED UNTO HIS PEOPLE”- Genesis 35:29; “And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his
sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, AND WAS GATHERED UNTO HIS
PEOPLE”- Genesis 49:33; “And [you Moses] die in the mount whither thou goest up, and BE GATHERED
UNTO THY PEOPLE; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and WAS GATHERED UNTO HIS
PEOPLE”- Deut. 32:50; “So David SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, and was buried in the city of David”- 1
Kings 2:10; “And Solomon SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, and was buried in the city of David his father”- 2
Kings 11:43; “And Asa SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David
his father”- 1 Kings 15:24; “And Hezekiah SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS: and Manasseh his son reigned in
his stead”- 2 Kings 20:21; “And Jehoshaphat SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, and was buried with his fathers
in the city of David his father”- 1 Kings 22:50.
What is the truth behind the former verses? Well, they are meant to teach us that, once a righteous person
dies, his conscience creates an alternate reality; a parallel universe where he can live in intimate communion
with his moral and spiritual fathers (those after whom he fashioned his own moral life). And who is a
righteous person? He who possess a clear conscience. And the Scripture confirms this view point, when it
87
goes on to say: “Delight thyself also in the Lord (rejoicing in performing the good He has commanded); and
He shall give thee the desires of thine heart (to be among those you would like to honor and admire)”- Psalm
37:4.
But, what about evil people (those with a tainted conscience)? Won’t they also get what they want? Won’t
they too be “gathered to their people”, in order to “sleep with their fathers”? Well, Scripture actually teaches
that even the wicked ones will get their desire. In other words, upon death, their conscience will create a
world where they’ll be given over to the evil people they used to imitate and admire.
As an example, consider the following verse: “AND JEROBOAM SLEPT WITH HIS FATHERS, EVEN
WITH THE KINGS OF ISRAEL; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead”- 2 Kings 14:29.
Notice that Israel kings were notoriously evil. And, since Jeroboam was their spiritual son (being exceedingly
wicked), he was gathered with them in the afterlife. But, is this a sort of blessing for the wicked? Of course
not! In fact only a wicked and ignorant person would ever think that, living in world populated only by
wicked and perverted people can be anything but a living Hell.
In short, Hebrew Scripture not only hints at the reality of parallel universes, but goes on to suggest that the
number of these universes keep constantly growing, as the non physical consciousness of each person who
dies automatically creates a new [and uniquely personalized] universe for itself. May our conscience be pure
enough to be worthy of a paradise universe! Amen.
