Analogy of Dimensions Beyond Our 3rd
�
Today, cosmologists believe that 96% of the universe is made of invisible material; matter and energy that we can�t measure. We know it�s here, we can detect it through gravity, but we can�t see it, we can�t touch it, we can�t hear it.� Mathematicians believe our universe consists of at least 11 dimensions � some say as many as 22.
The first, second, and third dimensions are the only dimensions we can hear, see, and feel. Understanding the higher/invisible dimensions that we can�t see requires us to deal with the dimensions that we can see in analogy form - one being as follows:
Make believe a third dimensional person(s) standing over a table with people living on the surface of it, but the people live in only two dimensions. They understand length and width; forward, backwards and sideways, but they do not understand the concept of depth � no up or down in their world; just length and width.
The table-people cannot comprehend a 3rd dimensional person/people standing �above� them and wouldn�t be able to �see� the person as �above� is invisible (hence, then could be sensed/felt/considered by the table-people as unseen �god/or gods�). The person/people looking at the table of people living on it could see them the entire time � wherever they went, whatever they did. The table-people would never be able to �hide� because they don�t understand �depth� to build something �over� them to cover/hide them. Not only could the 3rd dimensional person/people watching them could always see them, but could view the beginning of their lives � just as clearly as viewing the ending � or anytime in between.
So the idea of Heaven being above� or hell below is... well, the best 3rd dimensional explanation of primitive man regarding a multi-dimensional universe. But in total reality, those higher dimensions are not above or below us� they are all around and even through/a part of us, sharing our space in worlds we can�t see [more like we�re sharing their space(s)]. The 3rd dimension is made of (which includes those dimensions 'within') the higher dimensions. Man is made up of at least three dimensions � The fourth (time): the soul... which departs the person/3rd dimension after the body dies and enters the dimensions beyond: Heaven or hell� and then forever - beyond.
Romans 8:37-39: "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord".
