FURTHER S.T.R.E.T.C.H.I.N.G. OF THE GRAY CELLS
– – – – – – – –
Each of the four space-time dimensions of the physical universe is independent of the others. For example, in the length dimension we can extend a line as long or as short as we like without affecting any measures in the width, height, or time dimensions. Similarly, lines can be extended as far as we want, even infinitely far, along each of the dimensions of width, height, and time without affecting measurements in the other three dimensions. This independence means that each dimension always must be exactly perpendicular—exactly at a ninety-degree angle—to all the other dimensions (in Euclidean geometries).

Stretching our capacity to conceptualize
KEEP S.T.R.E.T.C.H.I.N.G — YOU’LL SEE GOD EVEN MORE NEARLY.
What we must keep in mind is that our capacity to visualize things will be limited to the three space dimensions that our five senses can directly detect.
Don’t limit us, Dr. Hugh Ross, we may surprize you someday!!

To construct a four-dimensional realm, we need four dimension-defining lines, each line lying at right angles to the other dimension-defining lines. Let’s call these dimensions “length,”“width,”“height,”and “time.”Such a dimensional frame is the realm of our existence. But because we cannot place ourselves beyond the four dimensions—say, in a fifth dimension where we could gain some perspective—we cannot picture all four simultaneously. We are limited to picturing only three.

Beyond the Cosmos
Take every audacious negative thought
One by one,
As they have
The audacity to come,
Take every negative thought
And hear what Jesus
Has to say about them –
Finally and permanently!
In a single, solitary
Word:
– B – O – O – M – – !!!
I Am everything I ever wanted!
The I AM
That I am seeking
Is the same I Am
That Moses sought.
I am life eternal
Not to be gotten
Nor to be had.
That’s the I am
That I AM.
Don’t go back!!
Oh please don’t go back
To situations outgrown.
You’ve come much too far…
Why muddy the waters?
You’ve seen life eternal
With your whole being.
What a thrill that was
When Love flooded in.
O taste and see
That which beats out
All egotism and scholasticism.
But educates its seekers
From the inside out!
I embrace and embody
Every single thing
I want or wish for
They’re within me!
An ecstatic dis-covery!
I Am everything
I ever wanted!
Topic of healing includes everyone
IS ANYONE ELSE keenly interested in the exact opposite of the trend to clarify and distinguish (and label) people’s beliefs? I want to know how to include everyone – bar none – in an issue as benevolent as healing which knows no limit in its scope as it loves the whole world back into its native perfection.
Know no one after the flesh
LET’S NOT KNOW ANY MAN AFTER THE FLESH ANYMORE.
Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own. [16] Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons!
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 MSG
…[T]he love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 KJV
Ego – so hard to let go of
One is NOT motivated to release the EGO until one has identified it as the source of all their PAIN and MISERY. Even then some will choose to keep it since it is all they have ever known and they have grown used to SUFFERING and consider suffering to be a normal vestige of life, itself.
~Albert Joseph Jefferson
When the EGO goes it will be INSTANTLY seen that SADNESS and FEAR were but DREAMS.

How to view the Bible
The idea that there is one, singular biblical view of *anything, is simply a fairy tale we tell ourselves to prevent us from feeling the responsibility God places on our shoulders to sift through the variety of ideas present, using our brains, and following Jesus and his Spirit. If God were to give us a book that kept us from ever having to think, or ask questions of his Spirit and of the world, he would absolutely ruin and destroy us. In giving us a guide of that sort, he would aid in turning our brains to mush, and changing us into zombies, who merely regurgitate memorized answers and passages that we took little to no time to actually think through for ourselves.
The bible is an amazing, inspired collection of writings, but it is not the Encyclopedia Godtannica, that we can consult on any number of issues, and get a precise and exact answer. No, sometimes the scriptures are simply goading us on to ask questions. Sometimes its authors do attempt to give us answers, while other authors come along and contradict them with their own answers. It is a book that stimulates creativity, not one that stifles it. When you approach it as though it thinks for you, you are slowly, but surely, sacrificing the beautiful mind God has given you, and being horribly dumbed down.
