Other worlds exist, but you don’t have to look to space to find them. They’re right here in our world, a multiverse of minds fighting for the narrative of what is and isn’t real. I can walk every street of Jackson but never truly see it if my mind spins alternate tales about what I am seeing. I can sit in the room with someone I’ve spent years with and not have the slightest idea about who they really are if my mind has turned them into a fictional character.
The mind is a powerful thing. We see exactly what it wants us to see—not exactly what is standing in front of us. Fiction is real, so long as we believe it. Other worlds exist alongside this one, because we carry them in our suitcase-shaped brains. This is why we are desperate for the fruit of the Spirit—for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Such qualities help us to live in reality and see truth that was once obscured by the unmetamorphosed mind.
For the Christian, Jesus is truth. May we continue to look to him to exchange unreality for reality as we hold to the prophetic for course direction and install the Kingdom of Heaven in our midst, where earthly and heavenly truth become one.
