Thank you for sharing this thought, celestialpillow. Could it be that "heaven" has multiple levels? Your post reminded me of this verse from the Bible:
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (2Corinthians 12:2)
A look at the Greek is a bit more clear. This seems to be a third eye / mental vision + out-of-body experience that identifies that there are at least three heavens, or, perhaps, levels to heaven, without setting any limits.

I don't know much about Kaballah, but I am interested. Chokmah, Binah, Da'ath and Keter especially grabbed my attention. The sephiras seem like they relate to Kundalini and the chakras. Will you please talk a little about how Kaballah speaks of heaven(s), and whatever else you care to share?

Very interesting! Have you ever felt/perceived/experienced that expansion yourself?
