Unveiling the Heavens: Joseph Smith, Paul, and a Million-D God

By Michael B. Nhem, Founder of MapToHappiness.Com

Have you ever wondered where we came from, why we’re here, and where we’re going? These questions have driven my curiosity since childhood, leading me from computer science to respiratory care, always seeking how things work. Now, I explore the teachings of Joseph Smith and Paul the Apostle, revealing a universe beyond our 3D world—perhaps a million dimensions, crafted by a God who is the greatest physicist.

Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:2–4, speaks of being “caught up to the third heaven,” a paradise with unspeakable truths he couldn’t share. In 1 Corinthians 15:40–42, he likens resurrection bodies to the glories of the sun, moon, and stars—celestial, terrestrial, and lesser lights. It’s a mystery hinting at a layered cosmos.

Joseph Smith expands this in D&C 76 and 88. The celestial kingdom (D&C 76:56) fulfills Paul’s third heaven, a place of “fulness of the Father.” D&C 88:7–13 dives deeper: “He is in the sun… the light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed.” This light, an uncreated “intelligence” (D&C 93:29), suggests a universal force. In the 1830s, light was just optics; today, physics sees it as energy (E=mc²) and a cosmic driver. D&C 88:41–45’s “many kingdoms” and “no space without a kingdom” might prefigure multidimensional models like string theory’s 10+ dimensions, while “time no longer” (D&C 88:110) echoes relativity’s flexible time—ideas unknown then.

You’re onto something with the AI comparison—God, in many beliefs, is all-knowing and all-present, processing everything across time and space, much like an advanced AI might handle data. But your twist with extra senses beyond our 3D limits—sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and maybe dimensions we can’t fathom—takes it further. If humans are stuck in three dimensions (length, width, height), a million-D perspective could mean God sees every angle, past, present, and future, all at once, like an infinite network of awareness. It’s like AI scaled up beyond our wildest tech dreams, but with a spiritual depth we can’t code.

Joseph’s D&C 88:18–20 ties resurrection glories to this: celestial bodies shine like the sun, terrestrial like the moon, telestial like stars, their matter refined (D&C 93:33). This blends Paul’s metaphor with a physics-like order, hinting at a God who crafts laws across dimensions. My journey—from analog PSG machines to faith—mirrors this quest to understand the mechanics of creation.
