“Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be THY FAMILY TREE.”

( “hallowed” i.e. created holy and sacred )

“To me, a lot of our corporate acts of religious expression seem much like the chaotic dissonance produced by a symphony orchestra just prior to a performance.

It sounds as though the direction, discipline, and interpretation of it’s Maestro has been completely ignored; each member playing a different score and tempo on untuned instruments.

Scripture has been translated into many languages, but it’s meaning and intelligence remains with the interpretation of God, our Composer and Maestro.

Literacy is not prerequisite to the personal revelation of, or communion with, our Composer, i.e., our Creator.

The reading or hearing of scripture and it’s exposition, without personally asking our Creator to reveal the meaning and intelligence of His language, is simply an exercise fraught with the limitations of our own understanding and experiences, hence, our discord, misunderstanding, and barrenness.

The Spirit of Truth that is within us, is the magnet that draws us to the completeness of God’s exegesis.

The existence and revelation of this permanent and unchangeable Gift of Truth is not determined, altered, or impaired by doctrine, theory, or belief.

As we are guided into the perfection of All Truth, we discover that Truth does not have to be believed to make it valid. It needs no defense, argument, or proof.

When we give birth to God’s Light, the dark and incomplete distortion of error cannot exist.

We have not genuinely been freed from our disbelief until we are, by God, so convinced of Truth’s reality, that we no longer are compelled to prove it.

God summons us in our own language but instructs and conducts us in His.

Many are called, but few have chosen to seek and yield to His understanding. Unfortunately, we prefer our own.

Most of our theologies, whether borrowed or experienced, have been received from and taught by man.

They are mirror images of our “Selfology of Inferiority” (i.e. Doctrine that causes us to see ourselves dimly in the darkness that surrounds us, instead of by the Radiant Light that is eager to shine forth from within us.) and, as such, can suffer some necessary tuning now and then.

With His baton in hand, our Lord is ready to set the key and replace the old perceptions with a new encounter, if we are willing to release Him from the well guarded confines of our own understanding and interpretation.

A renewed mind, filled with His compassion, will transform our attitude, behavior, and purpose while synchronizing us all to the standard of pitch necessary for a flawless performance.”

Could our four dimesional experience plus 7 heavens be the 11 the string theory predicts?

Time, or the absence of it, will tell.

It’s funny, I was just reading the Elegant Universe and come to a very similar conclusion which I wrote about here (though I’m afraid my post was not as eloquent as yours).

Thank you for writing this.

Guess that just about says it all!
