Khartika Goe began researching metaphysical dimensions while pursuing rigorously academic graduate work at Columbia University. Her passion is now writing and lecturing on the unknown and the mysteries of the universe, which she has described in her book, The Multidimensional Traverler. In the course of her extensive travels around the world she has notably captured other dimensional beings and planes of existence on film, and has been asked by prominent esoteric authors, researchers and documentary filmmakers to use her accounts and photos in their own research and work on the multidimensional realms. She is currently focused on helping children with developmental and physical disorders use their energetic abilities, and she is in the process of establishing a special school to teach these kids how to develop their energetic potential.
