My friend in the Netherlands sent me writings on higher thought. When I saw the title of one, I couldn’t remember having heard the word before: dimensionalism. While this pamphlet has to do with aspects of divine Science, it gives an example to which we can all relate. If we are rowing a boat downstream, we may not see what is around the bend — a waterfall, perhaps? But if we are looking at the scene from above, we get the whole picture. As with many things in life, we see from our own perspective and it can be hard to visualize the whole picture. This doesn’t mean that the picture changes when we realize an aspect of it; but simply that we see what was always there. Perhaps we were brought up by people who believe the earth is a flat plane, and so we believe that, too. When something happens which causes us to see the truth of being, our world expands. The world didn’t change; we did. This principle applies to everything in life. I pray to not be close-minded to the wonders around me!
