Going along with the cultural thrust, hearing somewhat religious songs at our local Unitarian Church, I enjoy the Holiday Lights. Religion is no big deal for me. While I used to be an atheist in relation to literal beliefs, I am now a true believer in the operation of the cosmos, which is well-beyond the old-time facets of religion. Rather, I’ve changed my opinions about my metaphysical beliefs, using a framework that involves more dimensions than we can know.<\/p>\n
We enjoy stories we read or watch on television or in the movies that are more or less \u201crealistic.\u201d That\u2019s two dimension that seems a bit like three dimensions—but their events occur in recognizable time—four dimensions—and to animal mind (five dimensions) and human minds (six dimensions).<\/p>\n
We can think about mind, illusion, projection, etc, and it\u2019s seventh dimensional, but there\u2019s a part of us that recognizes that we\u2019re all in a grand play. Or at least I do. At the 8th Dimension we encounter what seem to be the workings of something akin to more sophisticated descriptions of God. It seem obvious. even though I know I’ve confabulated this whole dimensional thing. (Nor do I need for anyone to agree.)<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s the state of my faith at present. I am in awe of the way people can immerse themselves in layer upon layer of myth and legend, but I believe they need that as much as I make sense of my brief lifetime my way. I don\u2019t worry about whether it is or even can be objectively true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
