REALITY IS BEYOUND UNDERSTANDING: Seeking to understand and

comprehend the nature of the Divine through the mind is like trying

to understand the intricacies of theory of relativity through

Newtonian physics. Einstein explained that the universe is a four-

dimensional space-time construct which is finite but unbounded.

 

Trying to visualize a four-dimensional space-time universe that is

finite, but yet unbounded is impossible for those of us who have been

brought up on Newtonian physics. We are used to thinking in spatial

terms. Therefore, the two attributes of being finite, and being

unbounded or boundary less, seem to be mutually irreconcilable. How

can something be finite, and yet have nothing around it or

surrounding it? If the universe is not infinite, then there must be

something else outside the universe. But according to Relativity

theory the universe is finite and yet it is boundary less.

 

Like the sensing of this dimension, spirituality is the mystical and

direct experiencing of a higher dimensional reality. – S.H.
