When we measure a wooden box, we measure its length, its height and its width. We can also measure the amount of time the box existed – the interval between when the box began to exist and when it ceased to exist. That makes four dimensions – the three dimensions we are most familiar with – length, width and height – plus another dimension of time. Suppose, however there are even more dimensions. Measurements of aspects that are not within our regular thinking, but may none-the-less be real. Perhaps measurements like upness and down-ity have some basis in reality.
This may sound like the science fiction of Isaac Asimov or John Campbell, but the mathematicians exploring quantum physics and string theory have determined that within their mathematical thinking, there are more dimensions – as many as ten or eleven more. Out of this kind of thinking we not only get such terms as ‘hyperspace’ and ‘fractals’ but we get the concepts of ‘Hilbert space’ and ‘parallel universes’.
If you’re not into quantum mechanics, some of these terms may not be in your vocabulary. There’s a pretty good reason for that. Here’s a description of Hilbert-space and a website where you can look up details about that sort of thing —
“Hilbert space is an infinite dimensional vector space of orthogonal eigenfunctions into which any quantum wave function can be decomposed. The physicists of today work and sleep in Hilbert space as their natural environment, often losing sight of its infinite dimensions that don’t seem to bother anyone.”

That cleared up any questions you had about Hilbert-space, right? If the physicists are correct, there are actual places in our world that are beyond our reach. Or are they?
When the Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin first went into orbit in 1961, he announced that he saw no God there. If that’s the case, then where is God? Is it unreasonable to suppose that the other dimensions the physicists insist do exist are actually levels of heaven and hell? Could those other dimensions be where our souls go to when our Earthly existence ends? (Philippians 3:20-21) Are they the homes of angels and demons? What do you think?

Each of us is a unique spiritual being. We are born individually, die individually and stand before God every moment of our lives as an individual. No matter how large a group we are in, our relationship with God is one on one. Therefore our worship and each of our styles of worship must be accordingly unique. That concept is developed and expanded in the book “Worshiping Alone” which is available in your favorite bookstore as well as Booklocker, Amazon or Barnes and Noble If you haven’t read it, please consider doing so.
