    In this book the theory of multiverses, ancient cultures which came from other dimensions, dimensional shifting testimonies, and a lot more are included for your review and discussion. 
    The Multiverse was proposed long ago by the ancient Greeks. In modern times this subject has become very active among physicists. There is also some real modern evidence that the Multiverse exists. 
    My curiosity about alternative dimensions is the result of research for my first book on ancient Ireland which recorded that the Tutha Da Dannan (forebears of the Elves and Druids) who came from “The Otherworld”. 
    I have also collected many testimonies and stories about people who experienced dimensional shifts which appear in this book too. 
    It is also possible that many reports of Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Dragons, and more all also tied up in the potential reality of the Multiverse. 
    After reading this book you may become convinced that the multiverse really exists and this would explain many of the strange events in our lives. The world we live in is a much stranger place than most of us would believe.

    Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It can be caused by various infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The most common form is viral meningitis, but bacterial meningitis is more severe and can be life-threatening. Understanding meningitis involves recognizing the different types, causes, and how it affects the body. 
    There are several types of meningitis, with bacterial and viral being the most widely recognized. Bacterial meningitis is often more severe, requiring immediate medical attention, as it can result in brain damage, hearing loss, or even death if left untreated. Viral meningitis, though typically less severe, can still cause significant discomfort and requires treatment to manage symptoms. Fungal and parasitic meningitis are less common but are particularly concerning for individuals with weakened immune systems. Each type has its own set of causes, transmission methods, and severity. 
    The causes of meningitis are diverse, with bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae being some of the most common culprits in bacterial cases. Viral meningitis is usually caused by enteroviruses, though the herpes simplex virus and HIV can also lead to viral meningitis. Fungal infections, like those caused by Cryptococcus, typically affect individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS. Meningitis can also result from parasitic infections, although this is extremely rare.
