William Branham's Hindu Doctrine of the Seven Dimensions

Of the strange and unusual doctrines that William Branham plagiarized from the works of other men to claim as his own “supernatural” revelation for the Latter Rain revivals, none is so odd as Branham’s “Seven Dimension” doctrine lifted from Hinduism.

In Hinduism, it is believed that there are “seven dimensions of the mind”, and that by achieving a state of spiritual ecstasy, one can lift themselves into awareness of the other dimensions. The lower dimensions, according to Hinduism, are filled with darkness and confusion but as the fifth dimension a light begins to emerge. The gods, according to Hinduism, were in the seventh dimension.

In 1954, William Branham began introducing the notion that Pentecostal people need to rise above the current dimension and ascend to the higher dimensions. Initially, he claimed that there were eight, and that in the higher dimensions was “where God lives”. By 1955, shortly before working with Jim Jones, He was certain that God was in the seventh as is taught in Hinduism.

This theology deeply influenced Jim Jones and the trajectory of Peoples Temple. Well into the 1970s, Jones claimed to have ascended to the higher dimensions.

Quote:
Now, the sixth dimension is in Christ, the saints, dead saints, or, resting saints, who is completely, work finished on earth, and has entered into rest with Christ under the altar, beautifully. If you would parallel it like a wonderful dream that you didn’t want to wake up. It ain’t a dream, it’s natural. It’s real. But I’m just making a parable to you. And course, the seventh dimension is God alone.
