Mapping the Multiple Dimensions of Reality

Foreword by Allan Combs

About The Book

An exploration of the entirety of the conscious universe

• Develops the concept of the metaverse, the “transcendental universe,” composed of additional hidden dimensions operating in parallel with space and time

• Integrates and maps the theories of consciousness developed by Carl Jung, David Bohm, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and other scientists

• Offers the reader a path into the hidden dimensions through detailed maps of psyche, mind, and cosmos

In her new book, Shelli Renée Joye, Ph.D., explains how the “metaverse”—as this wider universe is now coming to be known—is rooted in one interconnected consciousness, encompassing not only all of space and time, but also those previously unknown dimensions that have been detected by recent experiments at the world’s largest high-energy particle collider in Switzerland. The book offers maps with which to visualize, enter, and explore a multitude of transcendent, non-spatial, non-temporal states and stages of consciousness currently being pioneered by contemporary psychonauts. These detailed maps paint a picture of vast networks, webs of interlinked consciousness forming a single universal psyche.

Joye integrates the ideas of modern scientist-philosophers who view reality as a projection of a single multidimensional consciousness: Carl Jung and his concept of the psychoids, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his vision of an integrated noosphere of consciousness, and the quantum maps to consciousness developed by David Bohm. The book culminates with a call to explore transcendental consciousness by developing and following our own uniquely personal paths with which we too can enter the wider dimensions of awareness in the metaverse.
