If we dare to ask God for His thoughts or for a glimpse into His mind at any given moment we must be prepared to think along multiple tracks at once, since that is what God does constantly. Only our multiples will be far fewer and smaller than His of course, but it will still give us some initial idea of the vast expanse of the divine mind.  A famous innovative jazz musician once said that he was learning to play two or three notes at once. So it is as we attempt our best in fellowship with God to entertain three or five or multiple thoughts at once all proceeding down different tracks, it doesn't mean we are going crazy, but it means our minds are expanding in communion with the expansive but not expensive mind of Christ. If we are crazy in that case, we are crazy about Christ.😄 We may have to take furious and diverse📝 notes that seem disconnected at first but we can be confident that sooner or later these multiple tracks and insights will converge into a beautiful melody, as when many blended voices sing in sweet harmony..
