Have you ever thought to yourself, “I have to be missing something, there has to be more to life than what I am experiencing?” Well, there is more to life than what we see and consciously experience each day. There are parts of our world that we can only see under a microscope. There are worlds and parts of our universe that we can only see through telescopes or detect through radioscopes and other tools of science. There are parts of our bodies that can only be seen through endoscopes, x-rays, and other tools of medicine. In the past century we have gone from wired communication to wireless communication. What a world we live in!
The next time you get the humdrums and feel that there must be more to life, just know that there is. Not only is there more to the natural world than we often think about, but there is also a spiritual world that we are often afraid to encounter. Many scientists have concluded that there must be life in other places throughout the universe. Maybe the TV series Star Trek and other sci-fi shows haven’t been so far off, but even those would be natural encounters. Some scientists are still looking for the doorway from the natural to the spiritual and some who work in surgery have yet to see the human spirit leave the body at death. Yet, we all know that there can be no life without that spirit.
Perhaps a great key to our success lies in a spiritual discipline which allows us to “boldly go” into places we have not ventured. Perhaps we need to have a divine encounter.
