Science tells us that this universe is 99.99999% invisible or not here. I saw a visual a few years ago that helped me comprehend this where they took us on a tour of the Sistine Chapel then zoomed in a housefly on the wall. THAT is how much solid matter is in every atom. The “empty” space around it is full of invisible forces like gravity, time, dark matter and dark energy. We only know these things are there because we see their influence much like we “see” the wind in the trees.
So, it fascinates me when people say things like “I’ll believe it when I see it”. Number one, we are surrounded by all kinds of things we can’t see yet we don’t have to convince ourselves to believe in gravity. Number two, We DON’T believe it when we see it. I can ask someone to trust God for a week and when God shows up in their lives they say “Maybe it was just be a fluke.” And, three, we all know the famous double-slit experiment proves our observation aka thought influences matter somehow YET we don’t go around practicing our ability to think things into existence. (This one I REALLY don’t understand because you can bet your sweet petooty I was practicing before I even put the book down!)
Our 5 senses are not meant to show us the Truth. Our 5 senses are the tools we use to navigate the illusion. We have a huge gap in the middle of our vision but our brains just fills it in as though the gap weren’t there. We don’t actually “touch” anything, we can’t taste without smell and there are ALL kinds of things we can’t hear, just ask your dog when you blow on his whistle. The information you take in through your senses is information rooted in illusion and ON TOP OF THE FACT that we can only capture 2000 bits of information per second out of 400 trillion…hmmm And, we trust this information WHY?? I don’t know about you but I’ll take my chances with the unseen and my intuition. The odds HAVE to be better!!
