Perception

A YouTube video speculating on how it would be like to morph from our four-dimensional existence to a ten-dimensional existence using the famous Flatland two-dimensional story as a means to explain the how our existence would change from four dimensions to ten dimensions.

Now, think of the splendor of observable creation and consider the difference between our Earthly existence and the tiny part of creation that we can observe.

Doesn't seem likely that even a ten-dimensional existence could come remotely close to describing how God fully sees things?

Maybe, a ten-dimensional existence might describe some of the angels.

My point, of course, if we can't imagine God beyond the perch of our droplet of a planet then the question arises: "How well do we appreciate who God is?".

How much of our human nature are we drawing from in order to paint a picture of God?

Likely that we take our steps beyond our earthly cradle and undergo a series of eyes opening humiliations because we cling to perceptual bias.

Then the scriptural rewrite begins as the knowledge of our past history expands and it becomes more apparent that the shape of human culture changed far more frequently than we currently acknowledge.

My question: is our knowledge of God's hand in human cultural evolution correct since we don't commonly acknowledge all the self-serving rewrites that have been made.

The role of metaphor in shaping the common attitude toward the ruling elite and the persistent suppression of anyone not powerful enough to impact the ruling hierarchy's perceptions.

Eyes open to distinguish the diverse counsel of God to everyone and the fictions developed by ruling class to keep themselves in control.

Political victors shape accounts in their favor.

Generally, diverse perception is suppressed.

As solar system colonies transform themselves into nations and then into separate worlds, the human accounts about God will diversify into different scriptural accounts favoring the hierarchy of new nations and new worlds.

Earthly scriptural accounts will be deemed classical, and the original sources and the newer scriptural accounts will acknowledge the importance of observable creation in understanding who God is.

Doesn't end there because colonies will be created beyond our solar system: far, far beyond Earth.

Human beings won't be the only sentient beings created by God and scriptural accounts will include beings not even humanoid or even angelic.

Then, some hidden knowledge about God's purposes will come to light.

Haven't a clue what that will be but seems inevitable.
