Evidently there’s some confusion on how I define “dimension.” Generally we define our world in four dimensions: length, depth, height, and time. For the most part we are happy to live in four dimensions in reality it is enough for our daily living. Going back approximately 5000 years ago God ordained help for us since Adams sin broke fellowship with God. There became a void in our life. Since God’s Word cannot be voided part of His Spirit maintains the universe that He created.
Let us go back to the beginning before there was a universe. Before the universe was created, there was only God the “I Am The I Am!” Another words He was, is, and will be, Now. This concept is impossible for us to understand because we are finite. We have a beginning and a end. In the Bible, the book of Genesis is an accurate account of how the universe was made. Scientists call it the Big Bang Theory. The sequences or days of the beginning orchestration of the universe follows the exact biblical account.
Theoretical physicists will never be able to go back to the exact time when the universe was created or more correctly, they can never know what came before the first big bang. No matter how much money and time they put into devising atom-smashers they can never go beyond 0.00 hour. Because there was nothing before until God created the universe that we live in. This is a concept that is foreign to us since we know that there is a creation, which we are part of. Like the idea of infinity. We really cannot understand what it is. Since we cannot experience it in our mortal framework.
As I stated earlier we live in a four dimensional world of length, width, height, and time and for most of us it is all what we need. Someone named Albert Einstein had figured out that the universe is curved. That means that if we orient ourselves to the North and turn right we are facing East. If we were able to go faster than light since space is curved we would meet ourselves, eventually, in a full circle. That is because we have a limited area that we can occupy. God has no limits or boundaries. He has no concept of infinity because it is His natural state. He is always Now. In other words He has no dimensions because He cannot be defined. He is Being-Now-I Am!
In the Jewish Kabbalah oral tradition the universe the universe (God) has 10 sefirot or atrutbtiues/ dimensions. The 10th dimension is where God lives in that dimension there is no limits. Since God is perfect. The concepts of space and time , etc. have no value to Him. It is only in our universe that has definitions on three-dimensional. There are eight realities of Space and Time, which are:( 1-Above,2- Below),( 3-Right, 4-Left),( 5-Forward, 6-Back),( 7-Past, 8-Future). When Abraham came on the scene he added a Moral Dimension ( Good and Bad).
So when I write about “dimensions” they only apply to our universe. There may be other universes but we have no way of knowing. Nor is it germane to speculate about it because it does not concern us because we live in the here and now in this universe.
I want to thank you for your comments and I assure you that I read all of them. I weed out postings about making money on the Internet. I am in the process of completing my PhD dissertation and class work so that I I do not have tons of time. However, please contact me with any comments at dan@agape-healinghands.com and check out my webb site www.agape-healinghands.com

Happy Haukah & Merry Christmas
Happy Chanukah! Happy Hanukkah! The Merry Bells keep ringing. Happy Hanukkah to you! Joyous greetings at Christmas time! And an okay New Year!
Remember Healing is not a Cure but is a Help to get you through the rough places and life. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we are endeavoring to bring back Healing to the world. For too long the kooks of the world have misled us about the source of our healing which is the Divine or the one God. Yes, Virginia, there is only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And he desires the best for us.
The fool says that if God is so good why is there evil in the world. The true question is why did God give us free will to be come evil? The simple answer is that as Sanit Paul wrote we all have sinned and come up short. It is appropriate that the invented Jewish celebration of light called Hanukkah coincides with the Christian celebration of the birth of the Messiah or Jesus the Christ. God’s redemption plan for man has been accomplished 2000 years ago.
Because the redemption of man we can, as Righteous Hebrew’s and Justified Christians have the source of the healing power of God. We cannot understand how God uses his Spirit to do healing on unsaved people. We are not privy to His thoughts , nor is he liable for His actions. We we can only be thankful for His gift of our healings.
The Left-Wing PC NAZIs give you the dopey HAPPY HOLDAYS! My desire for you and yours is to be healthy and wise through the Holy Spirit and celebrating the gift of the Word of Life which is Jesus the Christ.
God Bless you and yours,
Dan

Healing Works for Me!
I just got my six month checkup by my cardiologist and it was good news. When you have a heart attack it means you have a lack of blood to your heart muscles and that part of the muscle dies. Hart muscle does not regrow. Since I have resarting my Christian healing the dead area of my heart has significantly shrunk. Praise the Lord.
Healing works!
Healing works!
Christian Quantum Intergated Healing-1
The prejudice against Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) by the Adventists Healthcare System (AHS). As they are a Christian organization they have, rightly so, serious reservations about CAM. The problem stems from the fact that Christianity turned its back on the “healing process” as we know it when the age of Enlightenment came into Western civilization of the 17th and 18th centuries A.D. Christian Quantum Integrated Healing has to overcome the huge bias against Christian Healing formed by their own Christian community.
In the 19th century, a Church of England priest from Dublin called John Nelson Darby founded the Plymouth Brethren and one of the founding principles of the organization was Dispensensationalsim. He believed that there were seven separate periods throughout the Bible. For example, he believed that there was a dispensation at the time of the original apostles and one of the signs of the apostles was the performance of miracles. Darby theorized that after the last of the apostle died, for the most part, there were no more miracles to perform. In other words, healing may occur but is not really for our time. What helped the theory along was the fact that the Bible scholar C.I. Scofield came out with a reference Bible that was thoroughly imbued by the dispensation theory of theology. Lewis Sperry Chafer the founder of the Dallas Theological Seminary (Baptist) also was a believer of Darby’s theology.There is no clear evidence in the Scripture that Jesus meant to heal only in the Apostle’s time. We come through to the 20th century and that one of the largest movements for Jesus was the Southern Baptist that, in general, followed Darby’s theology. The other large group of Christians was the Roman Catholics who believed in miracles, but that “God may heal you, but he does not have to.” This idea has invaded the Christian world to its detriment.
Since its In Noah’s time
We know that before Abraham there was Noah. We know that there were righteous people such as Enoch and Noah. We know the story of Noah; how did God communicate with him? The Bible does not address how God communicate with Noah only that He did. Jewish history indicates that he communicated mostly through Prophets and Sages.
The more interesting question is why did God bother to communicate at all? It is because God does not wish anyone to perish or have problems in their life.
When God (The Father-Creator) created the universe, it says the Word (Jesus) went out over the void by the power of the Holy Ghost or Spirit. Since God created the world or universe, He was obligated to keep his word, which maintains the existence of the universe. We do not know, or cannot really understand how God does this, but he does. Since He has given His Word on creating and keeping in existence the universe, He is obligated to maintain the universe no matter what we do. Because He is The I Am That I Am He keeps His word.
The Dimensional World
We deal with on a daily basis four dimensions, width, length, height, and time. Jewish Kabbalists (Jewish Mystics) have recorded over 5000 years ago that there are 10 dimensions to the universe. Recently, scientists believed that there were over 300 dimensions in the universe and untold number of alternate universes. Now the common opinion among scientists is that there are 10 dimensions to the universe. The Kabbalists calls them the Attributes of God or the Sephirot (Dimensions).
All cultures going back to very ancient times have their version of the dimensions. In Sanskrit/Hindu, they have eight dimensions with seven chakras. The Jewish version is more accurate in that there are 10 dimensions. Interestingly, both have the same number of dimensions of through the eighth dimension where the Spirit of the universe is. In Buddhist terms, it is where the “universal life force” resides. The mistake that most people make is that they are confused where the limits of the universe end.
God’s Word created the universe. His Spirit fills the universe and It cannot be separated from the universe. Thus, when the Buddhist and others talk about a “universal love or force in the universe” they are talking about the eighth dimension. However, there are nine dimensions in the created dimensions. The 10th dimension surrounds us because it surrounds us by the Infinity of God. We as humans we have access to the eighth dimension. We as “Righteous Hebrews and Christians” have access to the ninth dimension. This means that we are in direct communication and interaction with Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit. The 10th dimension is where all three persons of the Trinity are. We cannot understand how this works because we have no real reference point. We just have to accept it as it is.
Over the course of centuries, the world has learned about getting in touch with the eighth dimension and the Judeo-Christian world has abandoned it essentially. Now there is rejuvenation on learning about Quantum Healing. Jesus manipulated Quantum Energy; the result was what we call a miracle but he said that we would do more than he did! Jesus was known for having raising the dead!
Now go and do likewise! Yes?

Christian Quantum Intergrated Healing-2
What is Quantum Healing Energy?
When Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for physics, it was the study of the behavior of photons, which seemed to act as a waves having frequency and amplitude and they had mass. Max Planck theorized that photons and electrons were changing energy levels, which could be detected. Eventually Planck was able to theorize and prove the smallest unit of measure that would hold itself together, which is called quantum. He was able to calculate how much energy was produced in an electron in going from one valence ring to another. This figure is extremely small -28 it is called Planck Constant. He was puzzled because he could measure the change at the quantum level, but he could not predict where the constant would end up. He can only see the evidence of it moving after changed position in the energy field.
Werner Heisenberg, a friend and a fellow theoretical physicist, figured out Planck’s problem. Heisenberg said that you could only know the probability of the event occurring because the action by the viewer affects the experiment. That is if you are looking at an object called A it goes position B when the experimenter tries to look at it. Then when you go and look at position B instantly the quantum goes to A’. You can only use probability functions a the quantum level where the A’ moves by Planck’s constant. We know that the smallest undivided thing in the universe is that quantum because quarks, mesons, etc. cannot exist for very long by themselves.
When God created the universe, He used the basic building blocks of the universe quantum. When you move quantum around you generate energy. The more you have of basic quantum. You can string together atoms, molecules, etc. and build life, as we know it
How Jesus Worked His Miracles
Jesus was a perfect human like Adam before his fall. Remember when Jesus assumed the mantle of humanity. He gave up his God given and rightful abilities as the Word in the Trinity. He functioned as a complete human with all the problems and temptations to overcome. In other words, if he did not fully give up his Godhood, it would make a mockery of his teachings because no one would be able to fulfill any of his teachings for their will was not strong enough for the task.
He knew that whatever the Holy Ghost would tell him that it was trustworthy or what we call faith. The word for faith in Hebrew is aman and in Greek, it is pisteuo. The word faith then means that whatever you know about someone, such as God, you know that it is trustworthy, truthful, and have assurance in the reliability of the speaker. When Jesus said in Matthew 18:18-20 “whatever you bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven” he displayed faith in that it would be so. When he said, in John 14:8-17, about having faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain he said it in faith, it was the truth.
Again, is very important to remember that Jesus operated through the laws of the universe that God obeys also.
Because of Adams sin, we lost the fellowship mind of God and what was once known out in the open became hidden from humankind. In Jesus’ own words he was able to cast out demons, etc. because prayed, fasted, and had faith to manipulate Quantum Energy that we call miracles, even when he was amongst a crowd of disbelievers such as his hometown crowd in Capernaum. The Bible states that he was not able to do great miracles only minor miracles of healing because of the great unbelief of the people of Capernaum, in Matthew 13:57-58. In other words, their thoughts and great unbelief stopped Jesus performing good works.
Their unbelief influenced the Quantum Energy.
In the world of Energy Healing practice you hear the term, “Whatever is the best for the client/patient do it.” The practitioner must maintain a positive attitude and the recipient at least a neutral attitude for healing to be effective. Yes, a positive attitude is necessary for healing to take place.
Judeo-Christian healers and the world both operate in the eighth dimension for healing. The huge difference is that Righteous Jews and Spirit filled Christians can communicate directly with the Holy Spirit at the ninth level.
Healing is Not a Cure, but it Helps the Hurting!
In truth, not everyone has the faith for a cure, but we can be taught to use what faith we have. Sometimes, the cure is going to heaven rather than surviving on Earth. Healing allows the family and patient come to terms with their departure from this life. Health care workers in the main have a difficult time letting go of their dying patient even when it is the best interest of the patient and family. Christian Quantum Integrated Healing helps health care workers to cope.
With over 6000+ published articles the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) has studied extensively CAM and has concluded that CAM is a potent help in healing and life transitions. The other good news is that Quantum Energy Integrated Healing can be done by anyone with very simple training. The desire of helping is more important than the technique. Is not simply positive thinking it is positive thinking with purpose and goals. Volunteers can be trained to help in hospitals, hospice, homes, and even at work to help the Healing Process.

Give Your Headache to Jesus, NOW!!
Healing is for today !
Recently, some time around June or August, a minister of the Gospel declared, rightly so, that the metaphysical aspects of yoga is not Christian. However, that does not mean that there is not some so what does this on form of truth in yoga. If you only do the exercises there is no problem with doing yoga. He is correct if you go into the universal love metaphysical nonsense. universal love/is godThe basic problem is that Buddhist/yoga assumes the position that of the yin-yang which is in error. Whereas, the Judeo-Christian position is that God is all positive and that Adam before his fall was also all positive. When evil came into the universe. It worked upon Adam eventually killing him. Therefore Judeo-Christian healing does not emphasize restoring balance but emphasizes restoring positivity.
Think of it like this. We are a life sized battery with our head/Crown is the positive and our contact with the earth/negative pole. When negative events occur such as sickness our full positive charge is depleted. And through quantum physics/healing the Father God has given us a way to recharge and fill up the human battery.
How does it help your headache! Good question. Before I am overwhelmed with at least three e-mails, yes healing does occur by other than Judeo-Christian people. However, the Righteous Hebrew and the Righteous Christian can go directly to the Holy Spirit. The Jewish Kabbalists recognize there are 10 levels or dimensions in the universe. Science has confirmed that there are 10 universes or dimensions ultimately. The eighth dimension where God's Creation's Spirit is called chaos, is the source for most of the healings. The Buddhist and others can tap into the eighth dimension and take a bit of it down to the seventh dimension where we live.
Righteous Hebrew's and Righteous Christians have the privilege to go to the ninth level.
If you would like more relief for your pain e-mail me at www.agape-heallinghands.com.
Some food for thought.

9 Tips Before THEY Amptuate your Legs beolw the Knees!~
9 Tips Before THEY Amputate Your Legs Below the Knee!
By Dan Wimer, RN, MPLC
I am a RN with 22 years of IV knowledge and I have been in the hospital 3 times in the past year. Two of the times I was on the receiving end of poor nursing care. The first stay, in May of 2009, the nurses managed to infect me with Staphylococcus aureus. The nurses at the hospital did not follow established protocols for the maintenance of an IV site. As the result of their neglecting basic IV protocols I spent 11 days in the hospital, twice; plus 3 weeks of home IV therapy, twice.
If poor care can happen to a RN it can happen to you. My wife and I are both RN’s, she in the area of surgical nursing and I in home health, IV’s, and Psychiatric nursing. We had problems, and we are supposed to be in the know; just imagine the lay person who does not know? I have put together a few tips for you to help survive poor care.
1. Take care of your Spiritual needs first!
Studies have shown that people that have a strong Spiritual background do better in stressful situations, like hospital stays, than the people that do not have strong Spiritual ties.
If you do not have a minister, talk with the Chaplin at your facility.
Now is a good time to take out and dust off your Bible.
Be prayed up, that’s a good thing to do in any case.
2. Good Records Keeping IS A Must!
Keep a list of your medicines in your wallet or your purse. Over the years, as a RN, I found people often forget what medicines they are on. Stress helps to you to be confused and forgetful. Often those who are with you are no help, even though they want help, because they do not know where that valuable information is or know how to get it.
Your Doctors, Primary or Specialists and ER need updated records/medicines lists in order to fully understand what is going on with you and how this new problem is different from before.
When I had my third stroke my wife had my medicine list. I keep it in my wallet. By the time EMT arrived I could not talk coherently; she had all the vital information they needed. 20 years of being a RN did not help; my wife had to deal with the EMT’s. Thank God for wives. (The last was for my wife, Christmas is only a few weeks away.)
3. 9-1-1 Call Now rather later!
The time to call is now, the “Golden Hour” starts when the first symptoms show up, not when EMS is called. 50% of first time heart attacks are fatal despite there being no prior problem or bad history about the patient.
Being a diabetic you have 5-7 times chance of having a cardiac incident.
When I worked as a Telephone Triage Nurse for a large insurance company, I was astonished by the lack of knowledge by my clients about the signs of a heart attack.
The most frequently occurring sign is heartburn that is NOT relived by antacids.
The most common symptom or feeling is that feeling of general discomfort or pressure on the chest, not pain. Usually, you get the response from the patient is that they are “just uncomfortable and if they burp they will feel better.”
Chest pain or pressure is the second most common sign of a cardiac event, and arm, jaw or leg numbness is the third. Often one has multiple symptoms.
Pain is not a good indicator of how bad the heart attack is. Many people report that they had little or no pain with their attack.
When in doubt call 911 and have the person chew 1 aspirin. Chewing ensures quick absorption of the medication.
Time is not on your side!
4. Now, for our sponsor, Mr. Stroke.
Like a cardiac incident, time is essential and I would give the victim an aspirin (ASA). There are two positions about giving ASA. I side on using ASA. The reason is that if it is a TIA (more about TIA later) the ASA helps thin the blood and reducing effects of the blood clot in the vein. If the stroke is a hemorrhagic stroke there is a better than 50% chance it is fixable.
There are 3 types stroke: Silent, Hemorrhagic, and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Silent strokes are usually only detectable by brain test unless they are observed; but for our purpose there are 2 types; Hemorrhagic and TIA’s.
Hemorrhagic strokes are usually fatal with only a 20-30% survival rate, the blood vessels the brain burst causing rapid bleeding in the skull. The pressure built up by the bleeding vessels squeezes the brain which leads to death.
My mother died from this type stroke. She appeared to get better but the doctors were not able to balance the need for reducing the high pressure and stopping the bleeding. The area of the injury was inoperable. She died after three days.
TIA’s on the other hand the survival rate is 70-80%. My three strokes were TIAs. Of course the next stroke could be my last. Repeat TIAs increase the chance of getting dementia.
Again, diabetes increases the chances of having a stroke.
5. ER and/or the hospital-what a choice.
Take out your list now.
Well, after a long wait in ER you are now in your room in the hospital. Now the interrogation by the nurse begins. Remember, that you have brought your list with you.
It is scary that most married couples do not know what their spouses take for medicine. “He takes a blue pill for his high blood pressure. Or is it white?” Another killer is that men, more often than not, do not tell anyone that they have stopped taking a medicine. “I feel good so I don’t need it,” he says as he dies from his heart attack.
More women die from being cheap. They cut in half a pill to save money. However, they live longer than men, go figure.
6. Ask and Ask Again “What IS IT That YOU ARE Giving ME?”
Try to stick to a schedule that you use at home. The hospital is run for the convenience of the staff, not for you.
Timing of certain meds, such as Insulin, is very, very important. This is very important to diabetics since our bodies need food at regular times. In my case I take my insulin at supper time every 24 hours. Timing with my food is essential. The hospital staff thought at it was all right to give me my insulin at 9 PM, or when the pharmacy finally got the medication to the floor. I demanded that my insulin was to be given with my meals like I normally took it. The doctor agreed to write new orders.
In my case I take my blood pressure (BP) and my antidepressant meds at night. The reason that I take these meds like this is that they have a side effect of making one sleepy, drowsy, or tired so I use the side effect to help me to sleep at night.
The last time that I was in the hospital the pharmacy insisted that I take my BP meds in the morning; the B/P meds tends to make me very sleepy.
I was proactive and you need to be proactive also.
7. Ask: “What is that medicine and what is its purpose?”
Staffs are often tired and make mistakes. They should tell you what is the thingy (tech nurse talk) that your taking or the procedure your about to have. Question everything.
Do you see some trend in my line of questions?
8. You are allowed to sleep at night!
Unless you have a raging fever, a fever over 101.6F that is not resolved by meds, you need to sleep. The “little dirty secret” of medicine is that over 50% of healing is by the body’s own immune system. The heating up the body to over 101.0F burns up viruses and bacteria in our bodies. This is the major way we get healed.
By taking meds, such as ASA and Tylenol to keep fevers below 101.6F we wipe out better than 50% of our bodies’ own ability to get rid of infection. Sleeping also gives the body a chance to heal itself. We as a nation have forgotten the healing power of “good sleep.”
Unfortunately, hospitals are run as well oiled machine and we as patients are a necessary evil.
There is little reason to wake up a person after 10PM.
Each time I go into a hospital as a patient I have my Primary Admitting Doctor write orders that state that I should not be awakened for vital signs or routine labs between 10PM and 6AM.
Our bodies require at least 6 hours of sleep. More recent studies make a big case for 8 hours of sleep.
9. Question Everything!
All doctors and healthcare workers make mistakes from time to time. They/we do not make a habit of making mistakes but they do happen.
The most common mistake is medication error; either the doctor prescribes the wrong med or the wrong dose of a medicine. The second problem is the nurse gives the wrong medication and/or dose.
The problem is that the nursing staff is overworked and/or short staffed. Doctors, especially Family Practice (FP) practitioners, are overworked. Many FPs cannot do hospital rounds anymore because their workload is too great.
What is happening is that we find our healthcare workers are tired, frazzled, and pooped out.
The remedy is that you or your healthcare advocate must be always alert to the patient’s condition.
Bonus Round- Question Everything and Everyone!
If you have questions ask!
If the answers do not make sense to you have them rephrase the explanation.
It is your life not theirs that hangs out in the breeze.
Finally, I hope that if you, or someone you know, need to go into a hospital, you have a good result from that stay.
God bless you and yours.
Merry Hanukah, Happy Christmas, and a Joyful New Year!

By Dan Wimer, RN, MPLC
I am a RN with 22 years of IV knowledge and I have been in the hospital 3 times in the past year. Two of the times I was on the receiving end of poor nursing care. The first stay, in May of 2009, the nurses managed to infect me with Staphylococcus aureus. The nurses at the hospital did not follow established protocols for the maintenance of an IV site. As the result of their neglecting basic IV protocols I spent 11 days in the hospital, twice; plus 3 weeks of home IV therapy, twice.
If poor care can happen to a RN it can happen to you. My wife and I are both RN’s, she in the area of surgical nursing and I in home health, IV’s, and Psychiatric nursing. We had problems, and we are supposed to be in the know; just imagine the lay person who does not know? I have put together a few tips for you to help survive poor care.
1. Take care of your Spiritual needs first!
Studies have shown that people that have a strong Spiritual background do better in stressful situations, like hospital stays, than the people that do not have strong Spiritual ties.
If you do not have a minister, talk with the Chaplin at your facility.
Now is a good time to take out and dust off your Bible.
Be prayed up, that’s a good thing to do in any case.
2. Good Records Keeping IS A Must!
Keep a list of your medicines in your wallet or your purse. Over the years, as a RN, I found people often forget what medicines they are on. Stress helps to you to be confused and forgetful. Often those who are with you are no help, even though they want help, because they do not know where that valuable information is or know how to get it.
Your Doctors, Primary or Specialists and ER need updated records/medicines lists in order to fully understand what is going on with you and how this new problem is different from before.
When I had my third stroke my wife had my medicine list. I keep it in my wallet. By the time EMT arrived I could not talk coherently; she had all the vital information they needed. 20 years of being a RN did not help; my wife had to deal with the EMT’s. Thank God for wives. (The last was for my wife, Christmas is only a few weeks away.)
3. 9-1-1 Call Now rather later!
The time to call is now, the “Golden Hour” starts when the first symptoms show up, not when EMS is called. 50% of first time heart attacks are fatal despite there being no prior problem or bad history about the patient.
Being a diabetic you have 5-7 times chance of having a cardiac incident.
When I worked as a Telephone Triage Nurse for a large insurance company, I was astonished by the lack of knowledge by my clients about the signs of a heart attack.
The most frequently occurring sign is heartburn that is NOT relived by antacids.
The most common symptom or feeling is that feeling of general discomfort or pressure on the chest, not pain. Usually, you get the response from the patient is that they are “just uncomfortable and if they burp they will feel better.”
Chest pain or pressure is the second most common sign of a cardiac event, and arm, jaw or leg numbness is the third. Often one has multiple symptoms.
Pain is not a good indicator of how bad the heart attack is. Many people report that they had little or no pain with their attack.
When in doubt call 911 and have the person chew 1 aspirin. Chewing ensures quick absorption of the medication.
Time is not on your side!
4. Now, for our sponsor, Mr. Stroke.
Like a cardiac incident, time is essential and I would give the victim an aspirin (ASA). There are two positions about giving ASA. I side on using ASA.
