August 14, 2011: You Look Different – Michael Hidalgo

There is much more in our world that we are able to see and experience. Physicists tell us there are as many as 11 dimensions. Yet most of us constantly live in 3 dimensions. This does not mean that the other 8 are not real, it simply means we do not have eyes to see them. Yet we live in the reality of all 11 all the time – we are just unaware of this. 

In some ways this is what happens with Jesus and his disciples on the top of a mountain. He leads his followers to the top of a mountain, and from there shows them the reality of his Kingdom (which faintly echoes a story about Moses). 

What they see was a fuller (or maybe more real?) reality than they had ever seen before. In some ways there eyes were opened for the first time, and they were able to see what is and what will be. Like the 11 dimensions it’s not that we have to know them, and understand them all. Perhaps we simply should live with a sense that all are real and present. Just like the Kingdom of Heaven – although we currently do not experience it in all its fullness it is real and present.
