I have a friend, a rabbi, who has chosen to work within the Holy Scriptures, and to "milk" them. He writes sermons about them and\/or teachings of others about them. Of course he reads into these writings his own interpretations, scholarly confabulations, seeing in them what sincerely seems to be there.<\/p>\n
He says, \u201cAs you become more conscious of the mind’s voice, you naturally realize a more inclusive awareness that contains the mind but is not limited to it. In your more restful state, you realize that you have a mind, but you are not limited to your mind. You can easily rest in an awareness far greater than your body and your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stated somewhat mythically, although I was raised Jewish, went through a lengthy period of atheism, then found myself being drawn bask into a rather diffuse spirituality at a higher level (in my own thinking), I am a figurative cell on the fingertip of God. But I muse on metaphysics. I muse on the idea that we transcend the third dimension. ( is my contribution. I don’t particularly want to convert anyone else, though. I am growing in my awareness that — again, mythically speaking—there are more dimensions in the cosmos than I can articulate. It is enough that I even glimpsed them.)<\/p>\n
We are 3-D beings living in 4-d time, with 5-d minds, that reflect on having minds, and mind that reflect are sixtht dimension, and minds that reflect on the process of reflection in 7th dimen-sional. A few even reflect on reflections- and the process of mysticism that is 8th dimensional!<\/p>\n
That mysticism includes those who know that\u2019s not the end of the story and some few who glimpse that there are more levels. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
