To Mary Essa and Max

And to Sheila and Norman Flaxman and John Savino, who are out there, somewhere, walking the Grid.

I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality.

Max Beckmann

An idea is meaningless without the inner conviction that it has the potential for being more than just an idea. When we authors joined forces back in 2007, after building careers and reputations on our own as solid researchers with a keen eye for the cutting edge, it was because of a simple Internet exchange. Our friendship, and our research, began in earnest over a growing body of shared ideals and common rationales that led to five books, dozens of articles, e-books, and research papers, not to mention hundreds of radio shows and events.

In truth, we were both just dreamers with a lust for thinking outside the box and pushing the envelope in our quest to understand the world around us. Making complex scientific concepts accessible for a lay audience brought us great success, and despite living over a thousand miles apart, here we are six years later, passionately involved in this concept we call the Grid.

The Grid grew from impassioned phone conversationssome late at night, others while sitting in parking lots talking for hours at a timeand thousands of emails that became a dance of ideas building up and breaking down and building up again as we grew ever closer to the breathless conclusion that, lo and behold, maybe we were on to something really big. A concept so profound that it could undoubtedly be considered a game changer.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it isinfinite.

William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Reality... has a sliding door.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is reality?

Countless sages, scientists, philosophers, and spiritual leaders have asked that very question. Yet, even after centuries of inquiring, we still know little, if anything at all, about the true nature of reality. But perhaps there have been clues available to this great mystery all along, right in front of us, hidden in plain sight. Clues that suggest an actual structure, or more likely, an infrastructure, that is mirrored in the laws of science, spoken of in the holiest of religious texts, and is even evident in the construct of our own bodies, brains, and minds. A structure that we exist within, are a part of, and can even move about in. A structure that, once envisioned, opens us up to amazing new potentialities, abilities, and experiences we never imagined possible. A structure that science, spirituality, and metaphysics alike recognize. From the world of quantum physics and the zero-point field, the various levels of consciousness and altered states of mind, and the layered worlds of shamans and medicine healers, the concept of the Grid is found everywhere and goes by many names and variations.

A little more than five years ago, we came together from across the country with a shared interest and passion for finding answers to the biggest questions of human existence. Who are we? How did we get here? Do we have a purpose? Are there other worlds besides this one? We combined forces and partnered in a venture called ParaExplorersa pair of explorers. And explore we have, journeying into the unknown territories of worlds seen and unseen.

In our books we introduced a concept we refer to as the Grid, an infrastructure of reality as a grid-like edifice, with contacts and connecting points that allow for traveling between levels (or layers) of reality. Imagine a skyscraper with multiple floors, and elevators and stairways leading from floor to floor. These various connectors represent the mechanisms by which we may be experiencing the Grid, and with practice we may be able to strengthen our ability to walk the Grid at will and access parallel universes, alternate dimensions, and worlds beyond the traditional confines of space and time as we understand them.

The basic concept has proven so popular that we felt compelled to expand upon the Grid and develop a more advanced model that would more completely describe the infrastructure of reality. The Grid is both a force and a source of all energy, matter, and form. It contains the entire landscape of time, from past to future.

Quantum physicists refer to it as the zero-point fielda grand, ground state of all there is that is both creative and regenerative. In this field, everything is in a state of superposition until the act of observation collapses the wave function into a fixed object in a fixed position. But before that happens, the field is filled with nothing but pure potential, where everything and anything exists. Quantum theory also points to parallel universes, additional spatial and temporal dimensions, even wormholes and portalsmechanisms that lead us from one point in one universe to another point in another universe. If this doesn't make sense right now, don't worrywe'll get into the details of how science supports our theory of the Grid in the course of this book.

Not only does science play a huge role in conceptualizing and understanding the Grid, so do religion and spirituality. Every religious tradition believes in some form of field or source of everything that we can move about in to discover new worlds. From the seven layers of heaven to the three worlds of shamanism, what science tells us about the Grid and the infrastructure of reality is mirrored in the teachings of spiritual sages from the beginning of recorded history. The Egyptian-Greek Hermetica wisdom texts tell of man, God, and the cosmic, from which all things come and all things return. Christ himself said, In my father's house are many mansionsa possible reference to levels of reality or perhaps even parallel universes. Even mythology, creation stories, and cosmogenesis stories of the great Sumerians, Babylonians, and Egyptians tell of a primordial nothingness from which everything sprang forth into being, and of the many worlds within worlds that nothingness contained.

Now, the most current research in quantum physics is backing up this concept of something coming from nothing, and we know now that empty space is really teeming with virtual particles popping in and out of existence. Both noetic sciences and metaphysics also speak of another level of realityhidden implicate order, a field of intention, and an invisible web of connectivity that underlies all of existence, the source for all there is, was, and ever will be. This hidden order or infrastructure is both creative and regenerative, and some even theorize that it may well be conscious and evolving!
