My job requires that I work with and solve problems that are in thousands of dimensions. At present there is no way for me to visualize a solution involving so many dimensions, but when I have a correct solution, I know it's right because it rests on a correct basis and because it works.
Isn't there a correspondence between this mathematical example and the way we look at the world? As we look at objects, we cannot, through our material senses, picture them in more than the three dimensions of height, depth, and width. But, as we begin to expand our vision with ideas of God, our concept of dimension starts to change. We begin to bring more joy and beauty into our consciousness, and are able to express more of these qualities through our actions. Also, we know that Principle, God, from whom this concept of dimension comes, is correct; in Genesis we have learned that "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."Gen. 1:31 Not dimensionally good but infinitely good.
Speaking of the essential nature of man, a student told me he had learned that men see in only three dimensions. He said this mode of seeing is not infinite; therefore men and their world could not be infinite. He continued by saying that spiritual man would not be in the world because the world is not infinite. So, building on the erroneous material premise that men see in only three dimensions, the student had come to the false conclusion that would hide the fact that the real man—the only one—is spiritual, here and now.
