Oh, Alex, this one is fun... You do the tree/forest/sound bit in its midst, so I feel I know what you're getting at. Let's see: Jesus, Bethlehem, Bible all exist. In observers. Along with all the dogma that has grown along with them (J, B, and B). So,they are real. But, have a cosmic stroke obliterate the earth. Then, J/B/B no longer exist in human consciousness. When they reappear in a locale ruled by six-legged, multi-digited dolphins, are they still Christianity - all reference points having been eliminated? Or do Rick's bearded Savior and Deity go, full-blown, to the dolphins' fishbowl planet? (Whatever happens, I will be there, as I am of the essence of the cosmos.) Respects, Atman

Sounds good to me. My composition contains this dimension which was there along. God just made me suddenly aware of it demanding I start as a babe developing another part of me contrary to all I had been taught. I now understand many things I questioned as a Christian believer. The hardest thing to understand was how I could have been so stupid and took so many years to learn myself.

Alex, Here's my riff on your theme: 1. The spiritual dimension exists, and its existence is independent of our ability to perceive it. (The sun shines even when we're sleeping.) 2. Perception of this dimension is relative to the observer. (No one is born wearing shades. Shades and the degree of their tinting are choices we make and/or the result of conditioning. These choices affect the brightness (or its lack thereof) we perceive.) 3. "Seeking" this dimension is not necessary when understands the fullness of its perpetual existence in the "now". (Pop a cold one anytime you like--it's cocktail hour somewhere in the world.) Rick
