As for your question, I will give you the readers digest version. The main idea is that each level takes you accomplishing more. For example being baptized, being married in the temple etc. It really doesn't mean there is 3 heavens just that there are different levels within heaven that you can strive to obtain.

Edit:


Yes, God lives in the '3rd level' so those in the 3rd degree of glory get to live directly with God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

People in the second level get to be visited by Christ, and people in the first level are visited by the Holy Ghost.

That's a good summation and explains the futher questions as to why you believe in faith by works as opposed faith by grace. And questions about the trinity/god head - all being seperate beings.

Thanks for taking the time
