Making perfect sense of things we ponder.
Men, Djinn, and Angels Theories (MDAT) are supplementary and background information bridging the gaps between Men, Djinn, and Angels plotlines, theosophy, science, metaphysics and religion. This is where Creation Theory meets the Big Bang Theory and Sacred Geometry. The reader will find compromises between theosophy, mythology, and shamanism, among other things.
Imagine a mirror representing pure truth as large as the universe. Now imagine the mirror shattered into millions of shards. Each piece is a fragment of truth. Spread throughout the multiverse, the shards drift further apart. Some are lost, and others held closely in secret. MDAT attempts to reconnect the shards of broken glass. Through fiction and fantasy, the novels and short stories try to make learning the MDAT an excellent ride.

Case Study A
Shamanism is a religious practice with core beliefs of interconnectedness, the existence of spirits, journeying to spirit worlds and using altered states of consciousness for healing and guidance. It was popular amongst natives in Mexico, involving interactions with a spiritual world using altered consciousness. Methods vary amongst cultures, but the consistent line of practice involves falling into trance, communicating with other parallel worlds, and self-healing one’s mentally, physically, and spiritually. The ultimate goal is to achieve a higher, godlike consciousness through a connection to the supreme mind of the multiverse. In his book, The Wheel of Time, Carlos Castaneda explains his journey via the teachings of Don Juan. Traces of shamanism can be found in movies like Star Wars. “Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you: here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere…”
Yoda’s quote is endowed with shamanic principles. Compared to Carlos Castaneda’s quote, it is easy to see the connection. “To see energy as it flows in the universe meant, to Don Juan, the capacity to see a human being as a luminous egg or luminous ball of energy, and to be able to distinguish, in that luminous ball of energy, certain features shared by men in common, such as a point of brilliance in the already brilliant luminous ball of energy.”
In Men, Djinn, and Angels: Initiation, Chanoch learns shamanic principles entwined with Hermeticism and Judaism. The butakah is a secret order of monks who follow the Men, Djinn, and Angels Theory. Over five hundred years, they have protected the secrets – their shards of truth. Chanoch wins their trust and the right to knowledge. Unfortunately, he loses his chance to learn enough. Throughout the series, these lessons become more relevant to Chanoch as he carries out his missions. But he needs guidance if he is to find success.
Case Study B
The gap theory plays a major role in Men, Djinn, and Angels Theory. It examines what appears to be a long period in the creation story between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. One translation of the two verses reads as such.
- In the beginning, G-d created the heavens and the earth.
- The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of G-d was hovering over the face of the waters.
So, where were the dinosaurs? Some versions of the gap theory explain that a perfect earth (young earth) was created initially. It included all the extinct animals, like dinosaurs. But after the creation, the fall of Satan came like a meteorite and destroyed the perfect earth, which was later recreated at the start of Genesis 1:2.
St. Augustine was one of the first to tackle the ambiguity and apparent gaps in the creation story. St. Augustine states that the beginning means the Creator had made nothing previously but created heaven and earth simultaneously. However, St. Augustine struggles with the notion that angels were previously created. So why doesn’t the text read in the beginning G-d created angels? In The City of God, St. Augustine wavers with the time of angels and how they fit into creation. He rationalizes by explaining that “heaven” and “earth” have different implied and practical meanings.
In an oversimplified way to understand St. Augustine’s theory, we can imagine heaven and earth as separate canvases. On one side are the physical attributes not limited to sky and space. On the opposite side is a spiritual type of reality. The same is true for the earth. St. Augustine theorizes that the language “darkness” refers to evil represented by fallen angels. When the words “Let there be light” are said, a new breed of pure angels is spoken into existence, tasked with offsetting the darkness.
Men, Djinn, and Angels Theory suggest both explanations have a thread of truth. The theory proposes a young earth (called Aradunya) was destroyed – not by a falling Satan, but by war. The war ended with a flood that literally covered the entire earth, leaving it void and without shape so that in Genesis 1:2, G-d could hover over the face of the waters. Since death did not exist until Adam broke the commandment (eating from the Tree of Life), whatever life forms existed on Aradunya remained alive. So that when the new earth was created. These living beings were djinn rather than fallen angels. The term darkness symbolizes the djinn who caused the war. The angels, created afterward, were created to offset the djinn. The djinn used knowledge and free will, but angels were denied such traits. At this point, the Men, Djinn, and Angles Theory introduce the Hermetic law of polarity. Understanding this law is vital to almost every concept of multiverse cosmology. Everything has a dual nature, poles, and pairs. Perfection is the inevitable consequence of imperfection. Evil is the inevitable consequence of goodness. And so the cycle continues.
Scientific Proofs?
How much truth lies in MDA Theory?
It’s all made up; just fantasy – right? No one can prove the existence of parallel universes, astral projections, angels, and djinn – right?
If history is correct, the answers to these questions are “No” and “Wrong.” In the early 1500s, Girolamo Fracastoro had a theory that diseases were spread by things he called “seeds of disease.” He was ridiculed for such a preposterous idea. To make matters worse, he suggested the seeds of disease could spread through the air. Now, over 500 years later, there isn’t a soul on earth who disagrees that germs i.e., seeds spread through the air and make people sick. So, when materialists say there is no parallel universe, no higher power, angels, or djinn, they are likely dead wrong.
It just so happens that once used to disprove a higher power, science has taken a U-turn. Thanks to findings in quantum physics the materialist arguments against nonphysical beings are weakening. At some point, just as doubts about germs, we will have uncontested evidence that nonphysical beings are real.
A supporter of parallel universe theory may discuss the Japanese account of the man from Taured to prove a point. In the 1950s, a foreigner showed up in a Japanese airport. He went through customs and was questioned about his strange passport. The passport was issued in the state of Taured. The visitor tried to explain that his country, Taured, had existed for more than a thousand years. He pointed to a place on the map, which was Andorra – a landlocked nation north of Spain. Everything about the man seemed legitimate, but there was no place called Taured. The Japanese officials did not allow the visitor to leave customs. They gave him a hotel room on the top floor and placed guards outside his door. In the morning, the man was gone, and so was his documentation – even the passport kept at the airport. He just vanished.
The materialist would defend their position by saying John Allen Kuchar Zegrus was the man at the Japanese airport. He was arrested and convicted of fraud. The materialists are convinced the man from Taured claim was debunked – he was not from a parallel universe.
Materialists have a few rules in their criteria to prove something exists. First, everything that exists is made to exist by physical objects, processes, and whatever supervenes causality. Second, material objects, processes, causes, and events are the only tools one can use to prove something exists. Third, in this tight window and limited resources, angels and djinn do not exist. Nothing exists unless it can be proven to exist with the tools listed in rule two.
Materialists face significant problems when considering quantum cosmology, mechanics, and Relative Quantum Field Theory. At the University of Paris in 1980, Alain Aspect led experiments that proved the nonlocalizability of the physical world. Nonlocalizability is a fancy word explaining the impossibility of isolating an object we haven’t observed in one place. In quantum physics, we’re talking about particles. The behavior of particles makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to use the materialists’ rules (rule number two) because particles behave like objects at times and live waves at other times. The double-slit experiment is a perfect example. It proved light was both a particle and a wave. Quantum physicists would point out that although particles fit the definition of objects, they are not always subject to impinges or causality. This means that at any time and for no reason, a particle may exist in two places at once. Rule three cannot explain this scientific fact.
Sometimes, if we prove their existence, things will need a physical explanation but will have no causal one to connect. So, by the materialists’ standards, it cannot exist. A perfect example of this may come from the study of neutrinos. Neutrinos are part of a mystery surrounding the mystery of cosmic rays that bombard Earth. Scientists do not know from where they come or what creates them, neutrinos are everywhere. They have low to zero mass and may pass through any object without changing it or without changing the object. Scientists at the South Pole were studying possible radiation in ice when they noticed tau neutrinos moving up from the earth rather than toward it as expected. The movement of these neutrinos should have been impossible and raised many questions. Were these particles moving through the entire earth – the core and all? Was this evidence of a parallel universe with the tau neutrinos part of the energy flow from a separate – not visible reality? Were these particles moving through time in reverse time?
Whatever the case, the tau neutrinos debunk materialism. As such, it leaves the door open for the absolute possibility there is a higher being. Additionally, there must be millions of different sub-beings with fragmented consciousness if there is a higher being. If these are real possibilities, then Men, Djinn, and Angels Theory may be more accurate than we want to admit.
Astral Projections
Men, Djinn, and Angels is a series of novels, short stories, and unpopular fundamental ideas. At the core of it all is the belief that a human can, at will, have an out-of-body experience. Men, Djinn, and Angels Theory goes so far as to assert that original humans occasionally had out-of-body experiences. Humans are meant to have out-of-body experiences because they have living souls and exist as physical and spiritual objects. According to the theory, humans gradually lost their ability to have at-will out-of-body experiences due to djinn interference with human spiritual evolution. In other words, their soul development digressed as humans developed physically and intellectually.
It is impossible to consider that astral projection happens without also considering the existence of a human soul. Materialists would profoundly scream – no, a human soul does not exist. Some experts equate the soul to the mind and differentiate the mind from the brain. For example, humans have emotions and impulses stimulated by chemicals sent from the limbic system in the brain. We would be purely emotional creatures if not for the reasoning part of the frontal cortex, which sends other chemicals (inhibitory signals) to inhibit an overactive limbic system. (Johnson, 2013) Scientists cannot definitively affirm the trigger for the frontal cortex inhibiting function. Is this evidence of a mind or spiritual activity?
According to proponents of soul existence, the mind is responsible for all mental activity, the force of consciousness and subconsciousness. However, the brain is the organ that houses mental activity, charged with running the body’s functions. In other words, the brain is responsible for all physical matters (muscle function, chemical releases, emotions), but the mind connects us to everything nonphysical (perceptions, intuition, inner dialogue).
In the novel Men, Djinn, and Angels: Awakening, Kate gives Talib a drink from a flask to morph his brain’s functions. Talib becomes drowsy and slips into a trance state as the mind takes over to allow heightened intuition and perceptions of his inner self. As a result, Talib becomes aware of the memories locked inside his mind. These experiences allow him to reconcile with the dreams that tormented him.
The theory of recollection, asserted by Plato, states that humans have an innate way of remembering ideas and exposing themselves to knowledge found in an external world. However, the knowledge is processed internally within the consciousness. This suggests humans have a soul that links the physical and nonphysical realities, allowing us to remember things our nonphysical selves learned or continue to learn as we live.
As it is impossible to determine the existence of a soul in a lab, scientists stand with materialists against soul existence. After all, one cannot observe a nonphysical entity, and so long as we can offer tangible explanations for unusual phenomena, we can dismiss the existence of anything nonphysical. However, a 2014 study at the University of Ottawa’s School of Psychology studied a woman who claimed she could astral project at will. Placed under a fMRI machine, the woman was physically stationary for an hour. During that time, she was prompted to move her nonphysical body in different motions as she was guided in and out of her projections. Throughout the exercise, the monitored activity of different brain regions revealed brain activity correlated with motion during the time she claimed to be astral projecting. (Regan, 2022)
The study concludes the existence of such a case, and its presentation raises the possibility that this phenomenon may have a significant incidence… this would be reminiscent of the discovery and eventual study of synesthesia.” (Regan, 2022)
Synesthesia (notice the root word “the” which means god) is a neurological condition and perceptual phenomenon where stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to an involuntary experience in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. (Synesthesia, 2023)
What are we to do when science does not acknowledge the possibility of astral projection or the existence of a soul in the face of a thousand or more real-life testimonies? Are we to discard the experiences of those who claim they’ve felt a tingling sensation just before a sense of lightness that concluded when they saw their physical body lying in bed? Do we know the limitations of conscious energy? How is it possible to measure it? Are the shamans wrong or completely insane? Perhaps the only way to know is through personal experience.
