Hmmnn … a parallel universe. Sounds a bit like the Matrix, doesn't it!
This is what the Christian life is all about … through faith and repentance we exprerience the living God, in response to his promptings. He sends his Spirit to live inside of us. We experience a conversion – an inner transformation. Two worlds inter-sect. Light comes into darkness. Heaven invades earth. God lives inside of humanity. What an amazing thing …
What would it look like to live with a greater awareness of the spiritual world - not just the natural world? We would see with very different glasses, that's for sure. What would it look like to develop our spiritual senses - to see into the spiritual realm, to hear God's voice, to smell or to discern the source of things happening, etc?
Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you … to show you … to open your eyes … your ears … to things unseen … things yet to come … today.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him … But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets. No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. And we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. [1 Corinthians 2:9-12. NLT]
Think about it …
Slightly off topic but I have been reading a lot about the science of quantum mechanics lately and it is incredibly eye-opening. It really has completely changed the way I view the world, once you get un understanding of what is happening behind the physical façade.
