God who chooses to be present

We “miss” the company of a person when they pass away. Even though the presently felt “miss” of the person is not as great as if the passing was sudden, tragic and / or full of pain, no avenues or means could prepare us to realise that the passing of the person. Is the passing of a person a 1-dimensional “Yes-No ” event and fact? No, feelings, history, relationships and every other so many things are intertwined, that it is a 3-D relation sets. The 3-dimensional world that we are in could not prepare, or be prepared, for what looks like a 1-D object / entity, it being either Yes or No. There are two aspects to this, the first discussed below, the second discussed in the next blog.

The issue is not that the 1-, (or 2-) and 3-D worlds are incompatible to each other. We often subsumed 3-D over to 1- and 2-D. The dot is preferred in 3-D, so is a line (thickness mistakenly applied.) Of course, we comprehend that 1- and 2-D cannot comprehend 3-D. We are not perceiving (in, with) 4-D and beyond because… well, not there. Probably on the same basis as 1- and 2-D perceiving the essence of who / what they are is not and cannot be (in, of) 3-D.

Inherent in the Old Testament is God who chooses to represented as and when, as an angel, wind, wrestler, rod, fire, etc. Together with various descriptions in the New Testament, notably the idea of the “kingdom of God”, such entities are both in the present but future. There is intention of “other worldliness”, but we could still accept that it was a projection of an idea (ie, due to limit of language), rather than that such other “worlds” exist, ie DO exist.
