In 'Die-Mentions: The 12 Dimensions of God,' James Allen explores life, death and the dimensions that may lie beyond our physical existence. Using scientific principles, scriptural references and personal experiences, Allen offers a vision of the soul's journey after death.
The Law of Conservation of Energy
One of the central themes in Allen's work is the idea that energy is neither created nor destroyed but instead transformed. This principle, known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, is a fundamental concept in physics. Allen suggests that human life energy, which is inherently linked to God's divine breath, follows the same law.
'Energy does not cease,' Allen writes. 'It simply changes form.' This foundational concept sets the stage for his exploration of the soul's journey.
According to Allen, death is not an end but a transition from one state of existence to another. He draws parallels between the transformation of physical energy and the soul's movement from one dimension to another.
Dimensional existence beyond the physical
Building upon the concept of energy transformation, Allen discusses the idea of dimensional existence. He draws from string theory and other scientific models to suggest that our physical reality is just one layer of a far more complex universe. According to Allen, there are multiple dimensions that humans cannot perceive but are crucial to understanding the nature of existence.
'Just as a two-dimensional being cannot perceive the third dimension, we too are limited in our understanding of the higher realms,' Allen explains. He refers to various scriptural accounts, such as the Transfiguration of Jesus and the resurrection appearances, to illustrate the possibility of higher-dimensional interactions.
The role of faith in perception
Faith plays an important role in Allen's exploration of life beyond death. He argues that faith is not merely a belief in something unseen but a way of perceiving dimensions beyond our own. Allen proposes faith allows us to tap into higher truths and connect with the divine reality beyond our limited perception.
'Faith is the bridge between what we can see and what lies beyond our senses,' Allen writes. He suggests that spiritual awareness is a form of perception that transcends the body's physical limitations. Through faith, individuals can access the higher realms and understand the soul's eternal nature.
Near-death experiences as evidence
A significant portion of Allen's work is dedicated to near-death experiences (NDEs), which he sees as anecdotal evidence of life beyond death.
Many people who have undergone NDEs report consistent themes: traveling through a tunnel, encountering beings of light, experiencing a life review and feeling a sense of peace and love. Allen explores these experiences as indications of a reality beyond the physical world.
He writes, 'People who have experienced NDEs often describe an overwhelming sense of love and a greater understanding of their life's purpose.' These accounts, Allen argues, provide a window into the afterlife and offer insight into the nature of the soul's journey after death.
By examining these experiences through a scientific and spiritual lens, Allen argues that NDEs support the idea of higher-dimensional existence and the continuity of consciousness beyond death.
Communication across dimensions
Another important aspect of Allen's exploration is the idea of communication across dimensions. He suggests that communication may occur telepathically in higher dimensions, bypassing the need for verbal language. This idea is rooted in scriptural accounts of divine communication, such as the Pentecost experience, where individuals understood each other through thought rather than words.
Allen argues that early humans like Adam and Eve may have communicated this way. He explains, 'Telepathic communication may have been the original form of interaction between humans and the divine.'
As humanity ascends higher dimensions, Allen believes that communication will increasingly move away from spoken language and into pure thought, aligning with the soul's higher-dimensional nature.
The afterlife and transformation
Allen's book also explores the concept of the afterlife as a transformation process. He suggests that the soul undergoes a continual evolution before and after death.
This transformation is spiritual and dimensional as the soul ascends through higher levels of existence. Allen ties this idea to the biblical concept of the resurrection, suggesting that the soul's ultimate goal is to achieve a higher state of being.
'Resurrection is not just a return to life,' Allen writes. 'It is a transformation into a new form of existence.' In Allen's view, this transformation is the ultimate purpose of the soul's journey. Through this process, the soul becomes more attuned to divine energy, reaching a state of harmony with the higher dimensions.
The 'New Earth' and higher realities
The 'New Earth' concept is another key aspect of Allen's exploration. He interprets this biblical idea as a reference to a higher-dimensional reality where the soul will reside after death. According to Allen, the New Earth is not a physical place but a transformed state where individuals will exist as beings of light and energy.
He explains, 'The New Earth is not a place, but a state of existence — a higher-dimensional reality where the soul will experience eternal life in its most complete and pure form.' This aligns with Allen's broader vision of the afterlife as a continuous spiritual growth and transformation within our final resting place.

CGTN Releases Interview Video Highlighting Coral Reef Crisis in the South China Sea

BEIJING, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recently, in a report by Huang Yue, CGTN focused on the coral reef crisis in the South China Sea through an interview video that drew global attention. Ding Zhifu, a fisherman from Tanmen Port, Hainan, shared in the interview the water there was crystal blue. The coral reefs below were clearly visible. While now fish catch has dropped. Coral bleaching is damaging the habitats, and some foreign fishermen using explosives has made it even worse. The video, leveraging fishermen's testimonies, scientific monitoring, and international data, uncovers an ecological alert amid climate change and human destruction, mirroring the existential crisis of the South China Sea's coral reef ecosystem. The South China Sea, as blue granary for numerous fishermen, is ecologically threatened. The International Coral Reef Initiative's data shows that over 84% of global coral reefs have been affected by the fourth mass bleaching event, with significant damage in China's waters. In an interview, Professor Yang Hongqiang from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology emphasized that the sharp decline in coral reef diversity has pushed many species to the brink of extinction. Seawater warming disrupts the coral-algae symbiosis, depriving corals of nutrients and hastening their death. Moreover, severe storms, ocean acidification, and Crown-of-Thorns starfish outbreaks are exacerbating the crisis. Meanwhile, misleading media reports hinder ecological conservation efforts. Some media outlets have sensationalized claims that China uses coral fragments to build artificial islands. However, CGTN's interview with relevant researchers revealed that most sandbars are naturally formed by wave-accumulated coral debris. Professor Yang Hongqiang presented monitoring records from 2016 to 2018, confirming that sandbars naturally shift after storms, not being artificially constructed. As a pivotal player in global biodiversity conservation, China offers a Chinese proposal for coral reef restoration. Professor Huang Hui's team, known as the Coral Mother, has planted nearly 400,000 coral plants and cultivated over 100 species across a 30-hectare sea area in Hainan. Additionally, China promotes coral reef monitoring and restoration through artificial intelligence, underwater sensors, and international cooperation. Immediate action on climate change is crucial to save the South China Sea's key ecosystems. Australian coral biologist Jennifer Matthews warns that time is of pressing, only with global attention to underwater ecological warnings can coral reefs' future be reversed.
