The Science of Spiritual Time, Space and Energy
“God, who Always Is, created all time, space and energy. Since God does not exist in these limits, we cannot imagine the dimension of God (since as His creation, we always think of existence in terms of time, space and energy). Those who try to define God by these limits are attempting to describe God from the human point of view. Try to imagine a dimension where time does not exist, space does not exist and energy does not exist and at the same time contains all of time, all of space and all of energy. The whole spiritual and physical universe created by God with all its life and inhabitants exists within time, space and energy (although the substance of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy is beyond the physical manifestations of physical linear time, linear space and linear energy).
When God first created, He spoke and spiritual light came into being (Genesis 1:3). This light was not just natural light (photons) but it is a spiritual substance that cannot be seen or measured in the physical world. (Natural light is only a mere natural attribute of the formation of stars and suns). This original spiritual light contains the substance of time, space and energy.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“There is a difference between spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy and physical time, physical space and physical energy. Physical time is linear and measured by vibrations or movements of atoms or the rotations of heavenly bodies. Physical space is linear and measured by physical distance. Physical energy is linear and measured by velocity or frequencies or vibration. In order to understand spiritual concepts, we need to understand that there is also psychological time (where events can seem short or long based on our interest), psychological space (where distance can seem near or far based on our awareness) and psychological movement or velocity (where we seem to be moving even if another object of our attention is the one that moves – backwards or forwards – or the reverse where something else seems to be moving – like the sun around the earth – when it is actually we who moved).
The spiritual concept of time, space and energy is similar to the psychological concept of time, space and energy. The spiritual world experiences time through events, experiences space through thoughts and experiences energy through the spiritual life vibrating or pulsating from the spirit heart (which has its life origin from God). All of the Spiritual Universes still experience the concept of time, space and life but not in the same limited earth manner.”

“The soul areas of man: intellect, will and emotions, were created to experience all the fullness of the dimensions of time, space and energy. We were not to be limited or dominated by these dimensions but rather learn to manipulate and be dominant over them. When we are freed from our physical body and become spirit beings, we are able to grow and learn to progress in our domination over these three dimensions of God’s creation. Even now we have a measure of the powers of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5). Consciousness is like the frequency, motion or energy aspect, the Will is like the propulsion or space aspect and Feelings are like the time aspect.”

“Spiritual distances which are millions of light years when measured by earthly scales can be transverse in a fleeting thought but the distances can be “spiritually felt” by the density of the spiritual materiality of each sphere. The different spiritual spheres also contain different degrees of spiritual energy with the highest spheres containing the greatest pulsation of life. Because of the different degrees in which each sphere vibrates with the energy of spiritual life, those of the lowest sphere cannot see the higher spheres nor live in them until their internal spiritual life grows to the same degree of life or glory. In a similar way we cannot see the blades of a fan turning very fast, and are unable to see infra red or ultraviolet light because we do not have the internal physical eye capacity to see those wave lengths of photons.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“The physical material world is of the lowest life and lowest frequency of glory. It is “like a heavy condensation of the spiritual substance of spiritual light.” For lack of a better word, I would need to use the word “astral” hereby defined as the realm between the spiritual and the material to describe some mysteries of the material creation. From the spiritual substance of the spiritual light that came forth in God’s original creation, spiritual matter is first formed. Different proportions of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy formed different types of spiritual matter (xT × yS × zE = Various Spiritual substances).
All the different spheres of the Spiritual Universes consist of the differing proportions of this light substance through differing proportions of time, space and matter. In a similar manner, natural light (photons) has three properties of frequency (related to spiritual frequency, energy or vibration), of wave length (related to the spiritual space), and a physical time dimension (related to spiritual time). For this reason, some aspects of God’s creations are completely invisible to inhabitants of a spiritual world made from other proportions of the spiritual substance of time, space and energy. Spirits created by God progress in their growth through the spiritual spheres experiencing the different dimensions and beauty of God’s creation.
The lives of the spirits are not dependent on the spiritual substances of time, space and energy of their solar systems or galaxies but rather their lives come from God directly but their manifest forms take on the substances of the respective world, solar system or galaxies in which they were first given life – their forms changing from glory to glory as they progress in their walk with God through the various spheres.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“When a human dies, they only leave behind the physical dimension but their life continues clothed in a lighter dimension of this spiritual matter (lighter in comparison to physical material). Of course, even this “lighter dimension” when compared with the higher spheres of glory is “heavy.” Imagine that there are countless other spheres higher in glory and you can imagine how heavy the earthly spheres must seem to spirits who are from God’s highest throne.
As spirits grow in glory through the spheres, they take on the “lighter” spiritual substances of the higher sphere. Thus spirits from the higher spheres can be invisible to those of the lower spheres but the spirits of the lower spheres are always visible to spirits in the higher spheres. When the higher spirits visit the lower spheres, they take on the substance of the lower sphere and when a lower spirit visits the higher spheres they are temporarily shielded with a covering so that they won’t feel uncomfortable in the greatness of the lighter substance of higher glory.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“God exists outside of all time, space and energy; and is in a dimension and realm beyond all our understanding at the moment. The Spiritual dimension consists of all the Spiritual spheres in their various states of glory. The highest spiritual spheres are sublime and lighter whilst the lowest spiritual spheres are less glorious but still made up of a spiritual substance. The ethereal/astral dimension is separate from the spiritual dimension in that the spiritual substance takes another dimensional shift (ethereal/astral particles) before the material dimension of physical matter.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“The spiritual substance of spiritual light cannot become physical material without first passing through another dimension. (Remember that each dimension of spiritual substance is formed by different proportions of spiritual time, spiritual space and spiritual energy). This dimension between the physical material dimension and the spiritual dimension is called the ethereal/astral dimension – the deep (Genesis 1:2). The ethereal/astral dimension is likened to the dimension when water vapor (H2O) becomes liquid (water) and then solid (ice) (Genesis 1:2 – waters of the deep; Job 38:30; Psalms 42:7; 104:5-6; Proverbs 8:27, 28; Habakkuk 3:10). It is like the mould in which water is poured before it is made into different shapes of ice.
All physical matter has its ethereal/astral form before its physical form. Ethereal/astral forms are formed by ethereal/astral elements whilst physical forms are formed from atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. There are four types of ethereal/astral elements which make up the ethereal/astral mineral life. They possess a measure of energy life force just like atoms and molecules possess energy. And as physical cells are formed from DNA which are combinations of four nucleotides (ACGT), ethereal/astral cells are formed from the four ethereal/astral elements of mineral life which are: earth type (E), fire type (F), water type (W) and air type (A).
The four ethereal/astral elements, although named as earth, fire, water and air are not like their physical element counterparts but rather relate (or have its physical shadow form) to the four primal forces of physics: earth relating to the force of gravity, fire relating to electromagnetic force, water relating to the strong force and air to the weak force.
These “ethereal/astral DNA” form ethereal/astral cells which in turn form three higher ethereal/astral life forms: plant life, animal life and human life. Because the physical realm is patterned after the invisible realm, what we see as physical DNA (ACGT) is patterned after the invisible “ethereal/astral DNA” (EFWA) (Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 4:18; Hebrews 11:3).
The ethereal/astral realm is affected by the thought energy that flows from all humans. It is also affected by the emotions and will of humans. Just as our physical bodies are constantly renewing each cell daily through our physical food; our ethereal/astral forms are constantly renewing their ethereal/astral cells through absorption of ethereal/astral life energy. Our thoughts have an effect on our ethereal/astral forms which then have a psychosomatic effect on our physical bodies.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“The Jewish philosopher, Maimonides, speaks of the four elements of fire, water, earth and air as the foundation of the form (golem) of all things. In almost all the different philosophies of the earth’s different cultures, there is an aspect of understanding, passed on from ancient days, of the astral elements and life-force. Most of it has been corrupted through the years and modern science has de-throned these philosophies as the error of ancient times before the atomic particles of matter were discovered. However, as modern science explores the realm of the spiritual, mental and sub-atomic forces of matter there will arise a need to re-examine the physical laws of physics and include a study of the laws of ethereal/astral physics.”
“A great number of unexplained phenomena in the physical world that defy the natural laws of physics are operating on the higher laws of ethereal/astral physics. The Hado effect (discovered by Dr Masaru Emoto) of water molecules through thoughts and words is caused by the effect of thoughts upon the ethereal/astral element of water. Sometimes individuals are born with a certain constituency of their ethereal/astral form having an effect upon certain mineral life through psycho-kinesis.
The seeming materialization of things from the spiritual realm is done merely by those who have acquired skills to manipulate the ethereal/astral realm.”
- The Spiritual World (Peter Tan)
“Sometimes whole communities are “held strongly” by a certain thought pattern and fear. In doing so they produce a “strong” astral form of fear over their community which seems to take a life of its own. The astral form of fear “seems” to have a life of its own because it is being fed by the fear energy of the community. It seems to suck the life energy out of every new person who comes to the community.
At other times, individuals surround themselves with astral forms that torment themselves, feeding off their own energy. The worst cases “see things” which nobody else sees – these are merely the astral forms that they themselves have produced.
Evil spirits are able to manipulate these negative astral forms and energy to affect the natural world through weather, “natural” disasters, or some materializing that causes harm to humans. The manifestation of new forms of sicknesses and diseases are also part of the work of these evil spirits. In the spiritual world, the simplest desire or free choice of a person not to be tormented by such negative emotions or thoughts causes a spiritual force shield around the person and his family or property that no astral form nor any evil spirit can penetrate. It is like a shield of fire around them.”

“Probably the best description of the ethereal/astral realm in the Bible is to call it the “ethereal/yetzer” realm. It is the realm where the “imaginations” of men are a reality in the invisible realm which will manifest in the material realm. God told Moses to write a song of warning and reminder to the Israelites because He could see into their yetzer and knew that it would be a definite manifestation in their future that they would rebel against Him and He desired that they would turn back to Him when that event occurred (Deuteronomy 31:21).
The flood of Noah was sent not just because of the acts of evil men but also because of the yetzer of evil men, which would have manifested physically (Genesis 6:5). Yetzer has been translated as “frame” and “thing made” in the Bible (Psalm 103:14; Isaiah 29:16). The astral form is the “frame” for the material body. The worlds were framed by the Word of God (Hebrews 11:3). Before our material body was made, our “frame” or ethereal/astral form was created first (Psalms 139:15 – Amplified Bible translates the depths of the earth as a region of darkness and mystery – which could easily refer to the Ethereal/astral sphere).”

“There are many differing concepts of the astral realm among the various occult religions and some of their concepts contradict one another. The true ethereal/astral plane is the lowest ethereal substance realm that is parallel to the earth and it is the realm that is the ethereal/astral blue print for all things created in the natural realm (Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 4: 18; Hebrews 11:3). The material DNA (ACGT nucleotides) that is the fabric of natural life has its counterpart in the “ethereal/astral DNA” (EFWA ethereal/astral elements), which is the invisible substance counterpart to physical DNA.
All the above descriptions and classifications of the dimensions of the Spirit World are merely my feeble human attempt to describe in earthly language that which was seen and experienced. The dimensions are real and true but my descriptions of them may be imperfect: there is a dimension of God (beyond time, space and energy), dimensions of the Spiritual World with all its various spheres of light which enclose the dark spheres, a dimension of an ethereal/astral state that is parallel to the material world (which I have called the ethereal/astral or ethereal/yetzer sphere), and the dimension of the physical world from the spiritual viewpoint. Thus my definition of the ethereal/astral sphere differs from others; it is merely a necessary realm that frames the material world and all physical life.”
