I have also been coming to grips with some personality traits of mine, and was confronted by the realization that I attribute fictional perspectives to people and ideas. My mind is a splattering of anxiety, fiction, ideological searching, and alignment of light and idea for beauty. Unfortunately, that manifests itself into perceptions that are not rooted in reality but rooted in patterns of life my brain has attributed as reality. On the phone today, my friend termed an extreme case of this as "catastrophizing" and the term made perfect sense to me. Almost as a side-effect of this creativity is the ability for the craft to turn into turmoil through inflated anxiety. I have a tendency to do this, affecting my perception of religion, science, culture, and politics. Even here are imagery of reality is skewed. If our imagery in relation to reality can be so skewed, how are we supposed to be able to fully comprehend a literary perception of God or nature or creation. There is no way to absolve religion of distortion from nature or nurture.
This idea was re-administered in an even more scientifically reliable way today. I was reading an article defining the many states of matter. Now, when I was in school, I was taught the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, gas. Now there are no less than 5 states of matter, scientists even have been known to branch out the states of matter to 13. The more technology we have acquired, the more able to solidify our knowledge of new states and create more. This is the same in perception of religion. The more we know of God (or in a vague sense whatever deity or entity you believe in) the more visible becomes their expansive ability to be.
Lewis was beyond his years in assurance of this fact through noting the imagery with which we limit God and his complexities. What a mind-boggling concept, especially if you believe we are made in his image. Are we also more theoretical a concept than even we are able to comprehend. With a belief in more, whether you deem it heaven, reincarnation, or enlightenment, is there a more complex tethering between our own states of being? How limited and humbled I am in this vast universe that I can scarcely understand.
