Spiritual beings called Powers have often shown up in our meetings. They seem to oversee electromagnetic fields and sometimes bring objects to us and place them in our hands. As we discerned them, some people could see the objects in others’ hands, and I would ask what they saw. The responses would be such things as, “I see a sword,” “I see a vase,” or “I see flowers.” How can that be? Are two answers wrong? Perhaps not. In 1884, Edwin A. Abbot wrote a satirical novella, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions. It is about people who live in a two-dimensional world of length and width. A person from the third dimension entered their world. What did the two-dimensional people see when a third-dimension person put their finger into their world? They saw only a circle, for they could not see the totality of the three-dimensional person. When we view something in the complex, multi-dimensional world of our God’s creation we only see in part (1 Corinthians 13:12); we do not see the whole. Likewise, when people are viewing spiritual objects given to them by the Lord, they see only a portion of what that object really looks like in that dimension (heavenly place), so the interpretation might vary and be described as a sword, vase, flowers, or any variety of other things.
